Key Considerations: What is stopping you?

Compatibility – will my application be supported in a virtualized environment?

Performance and scalability – will my application meet user demand?

Service Level Agreements – can I continue zero downtime? Can I still report against my SLAs?

Quality of Service – is ongoing measurement and maintenance of the application possible?

Management – I will have less physical servers, but will the virtual environment be too complex?

Disaster Recovery – am I prepared in the event of a disaster?

Why change? – the applications are running, the environment is sound, why am I going to introduce virtualization and disrupt that?

4

Why Virtualize your Mission Critical Applications?

Reduces operational and capital expenditures

Increase utilization of IT assets

Simplify management by reducing physical elements to manage

Successfully meet service level agreements

Simplify disaster recovery planning

Accelerate testing and deployment cycles

Increased flexibility and portability

Assess the impact of consolidation / virtualization strategy– Effect of under-loaded CRACs, chillers, generators

– Potential hotspots

Identify issues in system design or operation that compromise efficiency and recommend solutions:

– Row-based cooling

– Scalable UPS

– Predictive management tools

Estimate potential efficiency gains to enable return-on-investment (ROI) calculations for capital expenditures

– Data Center Electrical Efficiency Assessment service

Virtualization and Consolidation

Summary

Why are we here? APC is a trusted advisor to EMC, their partners

and customers on the Data Center Physical

Infrastructure requirements of the virtualized

data center.

How do I implement a

high density

environment?

A variety of solutions are offered that align with

high density deployment strategies. pods are the

most common solution chosen. Closely-coupled

hot and cold air streams allow for predictable and

efficient cooling.

Have I maximized my

virtualization efficiency

benefit?

Virtualization is fully leveraged when power and

cooling are right-sized to the post-virtualization

load. In addition, predictable row-based, close-

coupled cooling deployments further increase

data center efficiency.118
