1. VMware Virtualization: The Foundation for a Green Datacenter

2. 2 Agenda The Datacenter Climate Crisis Prioritizing Green Datacenter Initiatives Laying a Foundation for Efficiency Continuous Rightsizing of IT Infrastructure VMware’s Economic and Environmental Impact VMware Customer Successes

3. 3 Market Perspective Datacenters becoming exponentially more dense Datacenter refresh driven by power/cooling/space Energy cost is consuming more budget and is harder to ignore The divide between IT and facilities is narrowing Environmental impact, govt awareness and corporate initiatives on the rise kW per Rack Cost to Power Server Will Soon Exceed Purchase Price

4. 4 Today’s Model is Broken Poor forecasting + low flexibility = excess capacity Typical datacenter: 3 years excess server capacity Servers consume >50% of average power when idle Datacenters are outdated and hugely inefficient Cooling servers often requires 2x the power consumed Over-provisioned Capacity Inefficient Datacenter Design

9. 9 BEFORE VMware 1,000 Direct attach 3000 cables/ports 200 racks 400 power whips Planning expansion Servers Storage Network Facilities Consolidating Server, Storage, Network & Facilities VMware consolidates servers, storage and networking infrastructure to safely achieve higher utilization AFTER VMware 80 Tiered SAN and NAS 300 cables/ports 10 racks 20 power whip Defer/avoid $1k per sqft Source: Actual customer data

10. 10 VMware Delivers Higher and Safer Consolidation Customer Example: Large manufacturer with 50k+ employees Mainly HP DL585s with 16GB physical RAM Many production workloads across multiple Oses: Java, Citrix, SQL Server, … ~60 VMs (1GB RAM each) per ESX Server ~60GB of aggregate virtual memory allocated Memory Optimization + Dynamic Balancing = Higher Utilization ESXi: 32MB thin, production-proven, OS-independent, secure hypervisor

12. 12 VMware Right-Sizes IT Infrastructure Consolidate… …entire farms of servers and storage… …and dynamically optimize to only consume the resources you need! HW

13. 13 A Key technology!!! VMotion®: Let’s you move live, running virtual machines from one host to another while maintaining continuous service availability. Optimal Utilization, 9-to-5 Maintenance, Zero Downtime Reconfiguration

14. 14 X Dynamic Resource Scheduling Balance workloads Right-size hardware Optimize real time High Availability Restart immediately when H/W or OS fail Protect all apps On-demand Capacity Scale without disruption Reconfigure on the fly Save time The Always On, Optimized, Energy Efficient Datacenter

15. 15 Distributed Power Management* Consolidates workloads onto fewer servers when a cluster needs fewer resources Places unneeded servers in standby mode Brings servers back online as workload needs increase Minimizes power consumption while guaranteeing service levels No disruption or downtime to virtual machines Resource Pool Physical Servers * Experimental support in VI 3.5
