Agenda • Introduction • What is Hypervisor? • Benefits • Types of Virtualization • My Experiences • Demo • Q&A

Introduction to Virtualization“Virtualization is a technology to run multiplesame or different operating systems which iscompletely isolated from each other.”Ex: Run both Windows and Linux on the samemachine

How it is different from dual boot? Both OSes run simultaneously

What is Hypervisor ? “Hypervisor is a software layer sits between Hardware and OSes which will interact with hardware and resources and provide an interface to share the available resources to Virtual containers.”

Types of Hypervisor • Bare-Metal • Hosted Bare-Metal Hosted VM1 VM2 GuestGuest VM1 VM2 Process Hypervisor Hypervisor OS Host Host Hardware Hardware VMware ESX, Microsoft Hyper-V, VMware Workstation, Microsoft Virtual PC, Citrix XenServer Sun VirtualBox, QEMU, KVM

Virtualization Benefits • Consolidation • Redundancy • Legacy hardware • Migration • Centralized management

Types of Virtualization • Server Virtualization • Desktop Virtualization • Application Virtualization • Memory • Storage • Data • Network

issues?

Backup / Restore• Re-build OS• Data recoveryDisaster Recovery• Same Vendor• Same Model

What is the solution? • Consolidation • Shared CPU, Memory, NIC ,DISK • Maximum utilization – 70% (Avg) • Centralized Management • Migration • Less space • Less TCO • Fast ROI

Server Virtualization- Benefits• Host servers connected over SAN• Hardware fail tolerance• High availability• Online live migration• Easy management• Disaster Recovery• Easily scalable, Adjustable• Different Vendor, Type, Model servers controlled by Hypervisor• Less hardware management / maintenance cost• Better efficiency with less cost• Maintain average utilization %

Server Virtualization -Vendors• VMWare ESX• Citrix XenServer• Microsoft Hyper-V• Red hat RHEV

Desktop Virtualization• Same as server Virtualization• User’s desktop runs on data servers as Virtual machines• Secured by design• Multiple OSes runs on same Hypervisor host• Centralized management• Shared resources with maximum utilization• Supports multimedia / memory intensive apps on VM

Traditional & Virtualized modelhttp://blogs.technet.com/b/yungchou/archive/2009/10/14/concept-of-desktop-virtualization.aspx

Desktop Virtualization - Benefits• Centralized Service pack upgrade / OS patch installation• OS upgrade from one version to another• High availability• Fault tolerance• Thin / Thick provisioned storage• Accessed via LAN, WAN, Internet & Mobile• Offline use with help of VMPlayer / XenClient on Desktop, Laptop and ThinClients.

Dedicated / Pooled desktopshttp://www.odci-llc.com/blog/?p=41

Desktop Virtualization - Vendors• Citrix XenDesktop• Citrix VDI-in-a-Box• VMWare view• VMWare VDI-in-a-Box• Microsoft VDI• Redhat RHEV for Desktops

Application Virtualization• Business applications runs on servers located in datacenter• Secured by design• One / more apps runs on same set of servers• Centralized application management• Shared resources with maximum utilization• Supports multimedia / memory intensive apps• Reduces licensing cost• Role based user access controlled by policies

How it works ?http://www.pc-ware.com/pcw/com/en/services-solutions/virtualisation/application-virtualisation.htm

Application Virtualization - Benefits• Applications delivered on-demand• No need to install and manage on every user desktop• Increased performance• Easily upgraded and deliver instantly• Published either locally installed or steamed to server

Application Virtualization - Benefits • Offline access via streamed on client machines with help of offline plug-in • Role based application functionality • Multiple version of same application accessibility • Application isolation • Accessed via LAN, WAN, Internet & Mobile • Content Redirection • Server to client • Client to server

Vendors Virtualization - BenefitsApplication • Citrix XenApp • VMWare ThinApp • Microsoft App-V • Enterprise management via Soft grid & steaming server
