- 2. Physical / State full Systems Before Virtualization • 1:1 Ratio of Server/OS/Application • Server Sprawl • Low utilization • Some Assembly Required* Provisioning time • Complicated and cumbersome DR • $4000/server/year Power, cooling, real estate, networking (NIC/HBA), service contracts…
- 3. Reasons for stateless computing Consolidation - One-time event that moves existing applications onto a fewer number of servers Containment - An ongoing effort to virtualize new applications and manage growth of existing ones Availability – Introducing virtualization to increase application availability and data recoverability

Comparison Tied to General Purpose OS True Hypervisor Virtual Machines App App App App App OS OS OS OS OS Virtual Machines App App App App App App App App OS OS OS OS OS OS OS OS App OS App OS App OS OS App App App App App OS OS OS OS OS Hyper-V | Xen vSphere Hypervisor • Dependent on a Host OS for Drivers • Hardware is Certified = Greater reliability • Patching – Reboot | Time Consuming • VMware patches VMs w/ No Downtime • 3.6GB Footprint = Security Risk • 70MB Footprint = Small attack surface • Gartner –……..OS is “one big fat single point • 3-10x VM’s per Host = Greater VM density of failure”
- 5. Components of Seamless Computing
- 6. vSphere – Virtual Data Center OS Dynamic Computing vMotion – stateful (live) migration of VM’s DRS – Policy based Auto-Migration for better performance | load balancing virtual data center + intelligent auto-placement of new VM’s Storage vMotion – stateful | live migration of VM’s storage - i/o, maintenance, new storage Memory Overcommit, Compression & VM Management = Many more VMs per host
- 7. vSphere – Virtual Data Center OS Power Management DPM – automated migration (load balancing) & Power Management virtual data center auto-placement of VM’s & powerdown of hardware that is not needed during low workload demands Green + savings on power & cooling + restart when it is needed
- 8. vSphere – Virtual Data Center OS Virtual Switching Previously virtual switches have been isolated to the host Nexus 1000v virtual data center Distributed switch creates a virtual switch to span across the environment Cisco Nexus 1000v is now available
- 9. vSphere – Virtual Data Center OS Fault Tolerance HA still available for lower tier apps virtual data center Identify VM’s you want for fault tolerance and start the service X A shadow VM is created and takes over if host failure occurs
- 10. Disaster Recovery DR Primary virtual data center virtual data center Storage Replication
- 11. vSphere – The Internal Cloud The Application is the Focus • Dynamic Compute resources: RAM/processors • Dynamic Network resources: virtual nics/switches virtual data center • Dynamic disc resources – X X sizing/allocation • Fault tolerance X • Power Management • Security
- 12. Tier 1 Application Virtualization
- 13. Reasons for Tier 1 Application Virtualization Deliver Applications Dynamically in a Cost-Efficient Private Cloud Exceed the Performance of Applications on Physical Servers Accelerate Application Delivery
- 14. Customer Journey to Seamless Computing
- 15. The 4 Phases of Adoption The evolution of virtualization adoption & Journey to the Cloud Tipping Point Can I deploy my Tier 1 apps on Why should I deploy my Tier 1 VMware? apps on VMware? Performance Accelerate App Lifecycle ISV Support Guarantee App SLA’s, QoS Consolidation Cost Reduction 16

Don’t take OUR word for it… “VMware is clearly ahead in”: “VMware stands alone as a leader in this • Understanding the market Magic Quadrant” – Gartner • Product strategy • Business model • Technology innovation, Product capabilities • Sales execution “VMware Strengths”: • Far-reaching virtualization strategy enabling cloud computing, new application architectures and broader management • Technology leadership and innovation • High customer satisfaction • Large installed base (especially Global 2000), and rapid growth of service providers planning to use VMware (vCloud)
