Single OS image per machine

Software and hardware tightly coupled

Running multiple applications on samemachine often creates conflict

Underutilized, inflexible,costly infrastructure

Without Virtualization

Break dependencies betweenOS and hardware

Manage OS and application as singleunit by encapsulating them into VMs

Strong fault and security isolation

VMs are hardware-independent:they can be provisioned anywhere

With VMware Virtualization

How server virtualization transforms x86 systems

Server virtualization

Benefits

Increase hardware utilizationby sharing hardware resources

across a large numberofvirtual machines

Use less hardware forbusiness continuity

Deploy multiple virtual machines on a single physical server

Requirements for enterprise-class virtualization

Virtualization of servers, storage and network

Not just servers, storage and network virtualization as well!

Reliability, scale and performance ESXServer at a customer site: 800 days continuous uptime!

Interoperability and certification

Extensive certification, testing and interoperability

throughout the stack

Support for enterprise workloads

Up to 16GB RAM and 4 virtual CPUs per VM

From single server partitioning to virtualization of entire

infrastructure including servers, storage and networking

Live migration of virtual machines with VMotion

What is it?

Live migration of virtualmachines with VMware VMotion

Customer Impact

Zero downtime maintenance

Continuous service availability

Complete transaction integrity

Supported on Fibre Channeland iSCSI SAN and NAS

Over 70% of VMware customers have implemented VMotion

Resource pools

Customer Impact

Failed server means fewerresources not a failed application

Enables high availability acrossthe infrastructure

Provides service level assurance

Dedicated (virtual) infrastructurefor each business unit; central ITretains control over hardware

Delegation of resource and virtualmachine management down tothe business unit

Aggregate collections of disparate hardware resources

into unified logical resource pools

What is it?

Dynamic balancing of computing

resources across resource pools

Intelligent resource allocation

based on pre-defined rules

Customer Impact

Align IT resources with

business priorities

Operational simplicity;

dramatically increase systemadministrator productivity

Add hardware dynamically to avoid

over-provisioning to peak load
