- Schneider Electric 1 Foundational BUSINESS OVERVIEW Rev 2
Virtualization and physical infrastructure Integrations with
Microsoft and VMware
- Slide 2
- Schneider Electric 2 are now talking to each other Virtual
machine management and physical infrastructure management Physical
infrastructure management Virtual machine management vSphere
- Slide 3
- Schneider Electric 3 Whats the problem? Which VMs are on a host
server with compromised physical health? Power Cooling Where should
I move a VM, or add a new one? What is the best healthy host
server? How do I find this place? How do my VMs migrate? When a
physical event occurs, who/what will move the VMs? Is this an
automated or a manual process? Effect on business process? In a
physical event, what business process(es) could be impacted?

- Schneider Electric 6 6 CPU efficiency Traditional server
utilization rate: ~10-15% (usually higher for storage) Virtualized
server utilization rate: Up to 80% VMs can be turned off when not
needed Server consolidation Fewer servers to buy/install/maintain
Floor footprint Reduced floor space because fewer servers needed
Disaster recovery Virtualized servers can be easily mirrored in
case of trouble with their physical host server Labor cost Easier
hardware provisioning and maintenance Fast server deployment No
need to purchase and deploy new physical servers, which can take
weeks Quick review Why virtualize?

- Schneider Electric 10 VMs migrate to a more productive work
space... Processor Memory Storage Virtualization platform If a VM
needs more PROCESSOR, MEMORY, or STORAGE, it migrates to a physical
server with available resources Processor Memory Storage
Virtualization platform PHYSICAL SERVER WITH MORE RESOURCES

its operating system and running applications The big two VM
managers are...
- Slide 11
- Schneider Electric 11 Schneider Electric 11... to maximize
computing throughput Virtualized servers VMs move around as their
computing demands vary, to optimize use of physical server
resources Virtualization is part of a general move toward
optimizing the ultimate data center efficiency metric: COMPUTING
PER WATT
- Slide 12
- Schneider Electric 12 Schneider Electric 12 But equally
important COOLING VMs depend critically on the POWER and COOLING
that keeps their host server healthy POWER VMs must not only be
PRODUCTIVE...... they must also be physically HEALTHY
- Slide 13
- Schneider Electric 13 Schneider Electric 13 Why move a VM?
Reasons on both sides... The virtual machine manager Not enough
PROCESSOR Not enough MEMORY Not enough STORAGE Not enough COMPUTE
resources... Power outage on battery, low battery Cooling trouble
failure of a cooling device Loss of redundancy in power or cooling
Power Cooling Operations There is physical DANGER... OR watches
this side PowerCooling
- Slide 14
- Schneider Electric 14 Schneider Electric 14 What if VMs could
know when to migrate away from an unhealthy server? COOLING POWER

human configures the system LAYOUT of room and racks POWER TRAIN
from UPS to rack LOCATION and TYPE of power/cooling devices VM
IDENTIFICATION for each VM VM GROUPS with similar physical
requirements (criticality, redundancy) ALERT PROFILE for each group
Virtual machine mapPower/cooling map Rack location Business process
running on it Owner Operations
- Slide 19
- Schneider Electric 19 Schneider Electric 19 The power/cooling
map Location of racks and power/cooling equipment From this map and
airflow modeling, Operations can calculate which racks will be
affected by a power/cooling event
- Slide 20
- Schneider Electric 20 Schneider Electric 20 Alert profile
Specified for each user-defined VM group Specifies thresholds and
conditions that should trigger an alert for the group Examples:
Cooling system failure Power approaching overload Low battery
Power/cooling redundancy compromised Each profile can be tailored
to comply with the organizations policies for incident
management
- Slide 21
- Schneider Electric 21 Schneider Electric 21 Virtual machine
manager I know where my VMs are I know the POWER/COOLING landscape
The result: Automated vigilance... and I will move them to a safe
rack when you tell me there is trouble... and I will tell you when
there is danger to your VMs and where it is safe to move them

- Slide 23
- Schneider Electric 23 Schneider Electric 23 An incident looks
like this... Impacted Host This host is impacted by a failure in
the physical infrastructure. StruxureWare Operations has detected
that this host is in a critical state and is no longer suitable for
hosting virtual machines. This monitor tracks the impact of the
physical infrastructure such as power supply and cooling. The host
is currently impacted by a physical incident. Cause and resolution
This host relies on physical infrastructure which is currently in a
critical state. To ensure that the virtual machines running on this
host remain available, PRO will migrate them to a healthy
host.
