2 Slide 2 Agenda Introduction to virtualization Virtualized, Mission Critical Applications Challenges Radware Solution for Data Center Virtualization –AppDirector value proposition in the virtual DC –USP #1: vAdapter - Sync Virtualization with the ADC –USP #2: VirtualDirector - Optimize QoE and Maintain SLA Radware solution for Virtual Desktops Summary

3 Introduction to Server Virtualization

4 Operating System Enterprise App Operating System Virtualization Hypervisor Running multiple Virtual Server instances on a physical server infrastructure by decoupling the Operating System Software from hardware. What is Server Virtualization? Slide 4

5 Run multiple operating systems on a single server Create shared pools of server resources to optimize your infrastructure What is Server Virtualization? Virtualization Main Benefits CAPEX and OPEX savings: Improved server utilization Reduce hardware requirements by a 10:1 ratio or better Green IT Improved Manageability Accelerate service provisioning time by 50-70% Manage virtual machines from a central location Virtualization Main Benefits CAPEX and OPEX savings: Improved server utilization Reduce hardware requirements by a 10:1 ratio or better Green IT Improved Manageability Accelerate service provisioning time by 50-70% Manage virtual machines from a central location Slide 5

6 Slide 6 Gartner, October 26 2009 16% of workloads run on virtual environment today Prediction: 50% of workloads will be running on 58 million virtual machines by 2012 IDC, October 26 2009 16.5% of all new servers shipped in Q2’09 were virtualized An increase from 14.5% in second quarter of 2008 The Virtualization Market

17 Static Data CenterVirtual Data Center Traditional ADC vs. the future Changes are infrequent Limited inter-team communications Changes require manual intervention Changes are infrequent Limited inter-team communications Changes require manual intervention Dynamic Frequent updates Includes all tiers: network, storage, applications, servers Dynamic Frequent updates Includes all tiers: network, storage, applications, servers Slide 17 “The ability to deploy capacity and server images virtually increases speed of deployment by a factor of approximately 30” Thomas Bittman, Gartner “A new server can be up and running in three minutes - it used to take Eli Lilly seven and a half weeks to deploy a server internally” Dave Powers, at Eli Lilly and Company “The ability to deploy capacity and server images virtually increases speed of deployment by a factor of approximately 30” Thomas Bittman, Gartner “A new server can be up and running in three minutes - it used to take Eli Lilly seven and a half weeks to deploy a server internally” Dave Powers, at Eli Lilly and Company

18 The virtual data center is much more dynamic compared to its physical counterpart Any configuration changes in the virtualization layer should also be reflected in the ADC Otherwise, the virtual application availability and performance might be degraded The challenge of keeping the static ADC aligned with application resources is becoming much more complex The Network Admin Challenge Slide 18

19 The ADC Must be Aligned with the Virtual Environment Time consuming Prone to human errors Increased risk Time consuming Prone to human errors Increased risk Time consuming Prone to human errors inter-team dependency Increased risk Time consuming Prone to human errors inter-team dependency Increased risk Slide 19

20 Can Scripting Help? Prone to errors Time consuming Management, visibility and auditing Who writes and maintains the scripts? Prone to errors Time consuming Management, visibility and auditing Who writes and maintains the scripts? Does the script guarantee the sync? Slide 20 Inter-domain scripts

21 Introducing vAdapter Slide 21 vAdapter is a virtual appliance for VMware virtual Infrastructure Automatic adaptation of ADC configuration to the relevant virtual infrastructure changes Tight integration with AppDirector and Alteon
