Server virtualization technology has entered mainstream data centers…

More than 50 percent of all virtual servers are running production-level applications, including the most business critical workloads

Virtualization is a Mainstream Technology Today

Enterprises that do not leverage virtualization technologies will spend 25 percent more annually for hardware, software, labor and space for Intel servers

VMware Virtualization Basics

System without VMware Software System with VMware Software

• Separates BIOS, operating system, and applications from physical hardware• Allows many virtual systems to share same physical hardware• Standardizes multiple generations of multi-vendor hardware


Key Properties of Virtual Machines

•Partitioning Run multiple operating systems on one

physical machine Divide system resources between virtual

Local Customers – Success with VMware

Virtualization saves tax giant $1M - H&R Block estimates it has saved about $1 million on hardware purchases since rolling out virtualization in June 2005

-IDG, April 14 2006

- Ron Armstrong – UMB Senior Administrator

VMware software has increased UMB's flexibility in delivering servers to meet business needs. Instead of six weeks to order and set up new hardware for new projects, UMB is able to deploy a virtual machine within a day

VMware software has helped us achieve on average a 40 to 1 consolidation ratio. Last year 95% of our Intel Server Growth went on to VMware Virtual Machine.

– Gene Reed – Senior Technology Architect


ESX Server: Return on Investment

Reduce hardware costs up to 53%Reduce operations costs up to 79%

Reduce total TCO up to 64%Fully utilize server capacity

Deploy new services efficientlyManage computing resources strategically

"We're running 20 virtual machines on one four-way system, and it's handling everything from CRM applications and security to application development and testing, all of which has saved us huge amounts of time and money in hardware costs.”

Alan Thomas, Senior Technical Consultant, National Gypsum Company

Consolidation (P2V)

• Create an image of the source machine with built-in imaging or your preferred third party imaging tool (Ghost, DriveImage, RDP, etc.)

• P2V tool (e.g. VMware P2V Assistant) performs all necessary disk controller and driver substitutions so the VM can be booted

• User can manually modify any additional settings before bringing the VM into production


• e.g. ESX Server

• Lean virtualization-centric kernel

• Service Console for agents and helper applications

VMware Virtualization Architectures

• e.g. GSX Server, Workstation, ACE

• Installs and runs as an application

• Relies on host OS for device support and physical resource management

Hosted Architecture Native Architecture


VMware VirtualCenter Overview

•Manage hundreds of servers from one location

•Instantly provision new servers with standardized templates

•Eliminate scheduled downtime with zero-downtime maintenance

•Dynamically move workloads across servers without service interruption

•Secure the environment with robust access control


Virtual Machine Dashboard

• Monitor and report on each VM’s resource usage

• Use pre-built alerts to proactively identify resource contention trends

• Set triggers and alerts for key performance and availability metrics

• Quickly identify good candidate hosts when provisioning new VMs

Track VM-specific usage metrics to identify performance bottlenecks


VMware Instant Server Provisioning

Automate the deployment of new servers into a server farm using a single repository of VM templates

VMotion: Online Virtual Machine Migration

• Enables real-time online migration of running virtual machines

• Persistent connection throughout migration

• Can be automatically initiated when• Critical alarm is generated

for the host hardware• Host hardware utilization

exceeds specified level• It is time for the scheduled maintenance

Workload Capacity Planning

Enable a Virtual Scale-Up solution from multiple server blades

• Achieve 60-80% average utilization• Share headroom across multiple

server blades to handle spikes• Applications are now mobile across

server blades• Transparently shift systems across

blades to match complementary workloads

Topics For Today

• VMware Basic and Tools• Customers and Return on Investment• Enterprise Solutions – ESX and Virtual Center• Continuity, Containment and Consolidation


Key VMware Solutions

Server Consolidation and Containment – Eliminate server sprawl by deploying systems into virtual machines that can run safely and move transparently across shared hardware

Test and Development – Rapidly provision and re-provision test and development servers; store libraries of pre-configured test machines

Enterprise Desktop – Secure unmanaged PCs without compromising end user autonomy by layering a security policy in software around desktop virtual machines

Business Continuity – Reduce the cost and complexity of business continuity by encapsulating entire systems into single files that can be replicated and restored onto any target server


Comparing the Options

Implement Virtual infrastructure• Optimizes utilization, availability, manageability• Delivers maximum ROI from hardware• Excellent solution with Blades

AD Server

Web Server Web Server

AD Server

Physical consolidation • e.g. racks, blades• Saves space, but does not improve 7%

average utilization. (Utilization may reduce further due to faster Blade processors)

Application consolidation • Risk of application conflicts, resource

contention, DLL issues


Backup Options with VMs

Back-up each VM- Agent resides inside each VM exactly like your physical servers today

- File Level Back-up & Restore

Whole Server Backup- Install Back-up software inside the ESX Server Console

- Reduce Back-up licenses

- System level Back-up Restore

SAN Based- Use SAN snapshot

- SAN handles checkpointing and Tape archiving automatically

- Fast Block copy

• Difference in hardware between main data center and DR data center

• Limited/expensive testing costs

• First-come/first-serve outsourcing options in event of regional disaster

• High real estate/leasing costs

• Time-consuming/incomplete logical synching

Typical DR Scenario

Data Center


DR Scenario with VMware

• Restore image into VM using P2V migration

• Store VM’s at DR site

• Hardware at DR site doesn’t have to be exact replica

• If the Server is certified for ESX Server… it will run any VM!
