7. Traditional Intel Architecture

8. Intel Architecture with VMware

9. Virtual machines are the full equivalent of a standard x86 machine Virtualized Hardware

10. Virtualization as a Resource Multiplier 4-way Server 6GB Memory Run up to 32 Virtual Machines ! Allocate up to 12 GB Virtual Machine Memory ! Physical Virtualized All physical resources are shared by virtual machines resulting in a resource multiplier effect 2 HBAs (paired) 2 NICs (paired) Create and allocate up to 32 Virtual Disks ! Create and allocate up to 16 Virtual NICs ! Physical Virtualized

11. Runs directly on hardware Manages resource allocations Strong fault and security isolation High performance device drivers “Hostless” Architecture - ESX Server Products like Windows Virtual Server and VMware Server (Free) are hosted virtualization architectures. Rely on a host OS like Windows or Linux

12. Resource Pools Aggregate collections of disparate hardware resources into unified logical resource pools Customer Impact Failed server mean less resources not a failed application Dedicated (virtual) infrastructure for each business unit; central IT retains control over hardware Delegation of resource and virtual machine management down to the business unit Management of an entire SOA application stack as a single entity Servers, Storage, Networking Business Unit Department ADepartment B Aggregate Resources Resource Pool 2 CPU 36GHz, Mem 58GB Priority HIGH Resource Pool 3 CPU 12GHz, Mem 22GB Priority LOW CPU 48 GHz, Mem 80GB

13. Live Migration Of Virtual Machines with VMotion What is it? Live migration of virtual machines with VMware VMotion Customer Impact Zero downtime Continuous service availability Complete transaction integrity Supported on Fibre Channel and iSCSI SAN and NAS

14. VMotion - How Does it Work? VMware’s clustered Virtual Machine File System (VMFS) allows multiple installations of ESX Server to access the same virtual machine files concurrently. Second, the active memory and precise execution state of the virtual machine is rapidly transferred over a high speed network, allowing the virtual machine to instantaneously switch from running on the source ESX Server to the destination ESX Server.

15. Resource Optimization with VMware DRS 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 system administrator productivity Add hardware dynamically to avoid over-provisioning to peak load Automate hardware maintenance Dynamic and intelligent allocation of hardware resources to ensure optimal alignment between business and IT Resource Pool Business Demand

16. Capacity on Demand with VMware DRS Provisioning is “fire and forget” Easily add more capacity Avoid over- provisioning to peak load Add hardware dynamically Resource Pool CPU 36GHz, Mem 58GB Priority HIGH Resource Pool CPU 50 GHz, Mem 70GB Priority HIGH

17. Ensure High availability with VMware HA What is it? Automatic restart of virtual machines in case of server failure Customer Impact Cost effective high availability for all applications No need for dedicated stand-by hardware None of the cost and complexity of clustering VMware HA enables cost-effective high availability for all applications Resource Pool X

18. Unparalleled Memory Management Transparent Page SharingMemory ballooning RAM Over-Commitment VMware memory management technology allows an average of 2:1 memory over commit (and oftentimes greater) 8GB physical memory can be 16GB of virtual memory. Transparent Page Sharing Utilize available memory more efficiently by storing memory pages identical across multiple virtual machines only once. Host System Memory is usually the bottleneck

20. VMware Infrastructure – Key Solutions / Use Cases Server Consolidation and Containment – Eliminate server sprawl by deploying systems into virtual machines Test and Development – Rapidly provision and re-provision test and development servers; store libraries of pre-configured test machines Enterprise Desktop – Secure unmanaged PCs. Alternatively, provide standardized enterprise desktop environments hosted on servers. Business Continuity – Reduce the cost and complexity of business continuity by encapsulating entire systems files that can be replicated and restored onto any target server Infrastructure Provisioning – Reduce the time for provisioning new infrastructure to minutes with sophisticated automation capabilities. Legacy Application Re-hosting – Migrate legacy operating systems and software applications to virtual machines running on new hardware for better reliability

21. C/S Web SOA # components Explosion in # of Physical & Logical components + Source: IBM Scorpion, VMware Internal Relative CPU Utilization Low x86 Utilization…Becoming Even Lower (i.e. Multicore) Dramatic increases in dedicated, under-utilized IT assets Management of servers is costly and complex Inflexibility makes it hard to meet business needs Evolution of Server Computing

22. Enterprise Workloads 16 GB RAM Up to 4 virtual CPUs Support for powerful physical servers with up to 32 logical CPU and 64 GB RAM Run the most resource intensive enterprise applications such as databases, CRM and ERP applications in virtual machines
