Business case for virtualization When you virtualize your infrastructure you put yourself on the path to two types of savings: capital cost savings and operational cost savings. Reduced capital costs Reduced operational costs • Server hardware • Power and cooling • Storage hardware • Server provisioning and • network hardware mgmt • Data center space • Disaster recovery • Data center power • Unplanned/planned • Data center cooling downtime5 © Copyright 2012 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.

Capital cost savings Capital cost savings come in the form of reduced expenses for IT hardware and data center facilities. Costs Savings How achieved Fewer servers due to typical consolidation ratios of Server hardware 50% or more 6:1 or more onto virtual machines Storage ~25% Increased storage utilization up to 80% on SANs hardware Network Up to 70% Fewer servers mean less switching & connectivity hardware Data center Fewer servers lead to less facilities space, power, Up to 60% space and cooling infrastructures6 © Copyright 2012 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.

Operational cost savings For virtualized environments, operational cost savings stem from reductions in power and cooling costs, management costs, and costs associated with server downtime. Cost Savings How achieved Power and Fewer servers due to consolidation ratios of $800+ per server virtualized cooling 6:1 or more on to virtual machines Server Fewer servers to provision, use of template- provisioning costs 10x in time based VMs and time Fewer servers to restore, faster restore of Disaster recovery Up to 75% virtual machines Unplanned Ability to move VMs between physical Up to 75% downtime machines while performing maintenance7 © Copyright 2012 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.

Virtualization Trade-Offs Upside Downside  Performance • Availability  Provisioning • Performance  Availability/Disaster Recovery • Compliance  Staffing • Problem isolation  Legacy support • Staffing  Development/Testing • Tools  Higher facilities utilization • Possible facilities power/cooling issues • Requires tight correlation between IT & Facilities strategies/plans.8 © Copyright 2012 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.

Virtualization within the converged journey Converged cloud Converged Infrastructure Journey As data centers transform in response to the growing demand for cloud computing, mobility, big data, and social media, data center managers are simultaneously challenged with the desire to consolidate, simplify, and virtualize IT environments. Virtualization is front and center with today’s data center strategies.10 © Copyright 2012 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.
