The Good • You have an API set in here that vendors can program against • Antivirus can run in this level and you can use that to scan all virtual machines. • You can run on CPUs that don’t have virtualization extensions • Only 144 Meg of code vs competitions 5 Gig The Not as Good • • • • You have an API set in there that hackers can program against Antivirus has access to all VMs – so would an exploited AV You have 144 Meg of stuff running at Ring –1 Drivers must be written for this Hypervisor so supported hardware is somewhat limited
The Good • • • • No 3rd party APIs for hackers to code against in Hypervisor No global AV option that would could compromise all VMs Lots of hardware choices because it relies on the Windows drivers. 1.4MB Hypervisor running in Ring –1 vs. 144 Meg in vSphere 5.1 The Not as Good • • • • No APIs for third parties to add value in hypervisor No option to run Antivirus in the Hypervisor Requires hardware with CPU Virtualization Extensions Requires Windows Management Partition for the drivers

Virtual Machine Manager & vSphere Day to Day VM Management with Virtual Machine Manager VMM integrates with vCenter 4.1/5.0/5.1 for managing ESX/ESXi 4.1/5.0/5.1 Aimed at providing the day to day management of VMware VMs – Create, Manage, Store, Deploy. More advanced tasks still use vCenter – vDS, FT VMs, Update Management VMM supports managing existing, and creating new vSphere VM & Service templates Supports key vSphere Features such as vMotion, Storage vMotion, PVSCSI, Thin Provisioning, HotAdd and adds its own capabilities on top – DO, PO, PRO, intelligent placement, Private Clouds etc.
App Controller & vSphere Self-Service access to VMs running on vSphere App Controller integrates with VMM, and provides access to any VMM clouds VMM clouds can consist of capacity from Hyper-V, vSphere, XenServer or a combination Users & Groups can be delegated access to these vSphere-based clouds with individuallevel capacity limits Users can deploy vSphere-based VM & Service Templates to vSphere hosts Users can also have access to Windows Azure for deploying VMs & applications
Operations Manager & vSphere Partnering with Veeam to deliver deep vSphere insight Veeam MP for VMware provides OpsMgr admins with granular insight into their vSphere infrastructure Agentless Collection providing end-to-end visibility from the physical server, to the hypervisor, to the virtual machines hosting your critical applications and services Full System Center functionality – including alerts, diagrams, dashboards, reporting, auditing, notifications, responses and automation for all VMware components Powerful reports for capacity planning, failure modelling, cluster capacity and more Rich topology views for Storage, Compute & Networking
Orchestrator & vSphere Automating key tasks within the vSphere environment vSphere Integration Pack contains a large number out-of-the-box activities for automating vSphere Administrator connects Orchestrator to vCenter, or to ESXi directly. Allows the administrator to automate vSphere tasks in isolation, or combine vSphere activities into broader runbooks, connected with other systems If the Integration Pack doesn’t contain the desired task, admins can add their on IP through scripts, or PowerCLI vSphere Integration Pack - Activities

Each VMware VM template will have it’s own VMDK, even if the template varies only slightly in it’s configuration options. No alternatives to Server Application Virtualization (App-V) thus relies on regular installation methods or inflexible scripts. vCloud Automation Center allows deployment onto non-VMware infrastructure at a cost of $400 per managed machine + S&S however once deployed, it could not be managed from vCloud Director along with other VMware-based VMs. VMware Information: http://www.vmware.com/products/datacenter-virtualization/vcloud-automation-center/features.html, http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/management/vmw-vcloud-automation-center-faq.pdf

Monitoring capabilities do extend to multiple frameworks but support for many frameworks is out of date - .NET 3.0 is the latest for instance. Also, the monitoring is not connected to any true DevOps capability, and lacks remediation guidance around detected issues.

DirectPath I/O, whilst not identical to SR-IOV, aims to provide virtual machines with more direct access to hardware devices, with network cards being a good example. Whilst on the surface, this will boost VM networking performance, and reduce the burden on host CPU cycles, in reality, there are a number of caveats in using DirectPath I/O: 2 VMware’s • • • • Small Hardware Compatibility List No Memory Overcommit | No vMotion (unless running certain configurations of Cisco UCS) | No Fault Tolerance No Network I/O Control | No VM Snapshots (unless running certain configurations of Cisco UCS) No Suspend/Resume (unless running certain configurations of Cisco UCS) | No VMsafe/Endpoint Security support SR-IOV also requires the vSphere Distributed Switch, meaning customers have to upgrade to the highest vSphere edition to take advantage of this capability. No such restrictions are imposed when using SR-IOV in Hyper-V, ensuring customers can combine the highest levels of performance with the flexibility they need for an agile infrastructure. vSphere Hypervisor / vSphere 5.x Ent+ Information: http://www.vmware.com/pdf/Perf_Best_Practices_vSphere5.0.pdf

    The Good • Youhave an API set in here that vendors can program against • Antivirus can run in this level and you can use that to scan all virtual machines. • You can run on CPUs that don’t have virtualization extensions • Only 144 Meg of code vs competitions 5 Gig The Not as Good • • • • You have an API set in there that hackers can program against Antivirus has access to all VMs – so would an exploited AV You have 144 Meg of stuff running at Ring –1 Drivers must be written for this Hypervisor so supported hardware is somewhat limited
  • 4.
    The Good • • • • No 3rdparty APIs for hackers to code against in Hypervisor No global AV option that would could compromise all VMs Lots of hardware choices because it relies on the Windows drivers. 1.4MB Hypervisor running in Ring –1 vs. 144 Meg in vSphere 5.1 The Not as Good • • • • No APIs for third parties to add value in hypervisor No option to run Antivirus in the Hypervisor Requires hardware with CPU Virtualization Extensions Requires Windows Management Partition for the drivers

More advanced tasks still use vCenter – vDS, FT VMs, Update Management VMM supports managing existing, and creating new vSphere VM & Service templates Supports key vSphere Features such as vMotion, Storage vMotion, PVSCSI, Thin Provisioning, HotAdd and adds its own capabilities on top – DO, PO, PRO, intelligent placement, Private Clouds etc.

    Orchestrator & vSphere Automatingkey tasks within the vSphere environment vSphere Integration Pack contains a large number out-of-the-box activities for automating vSphere Administrator connects Orchestrator to vCenter, or to ESXi directly.

Each VMware VM template will have it’s own VMDK, even if the template varies only slightly in it’s configuration options. No alternatives to Server Application Virtualization (App-V) thus relies on regular installation methods or inflexible scripts. vCloud Automation Center allows deployment onto non-VMware infrastructure at a cost of $400 per managed machine + S&S however once deployed, it could not be managed from vCloud Director along with other VMware-based VMs. VMware Information: http://www.vmware.com/products/datacenter-virtualization/vcloud-automation-center/features.html, http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/management/vmw-vcloud-automation-center-faq.pdf

Would require purchases outside of the vCloud Suite including vCloud Automation Center, vFabric Hyperic, vCenter Operations Management Suite Enterprise Edition vCloud Automation Center enables application owners or administrators to request infrastructure but vCAC lacks any form of true CMDB for complete ITIL/MOF IT Service Management VMware's vCenter Orchestrator has a limited set of plug-ins, of which the vast majority are VMware centric. No mention of plug-ins for other enterprise management systems and tools such as those from HP, IBM, BMC etc. Remediation limited to VMware best practices thus lacking in application-specific remediation guidance Lab Manager deprecated, with customers expected to upgrade to vCloud Director, which has no connections with Development IDE.

    Cross-Platform Infrastructure Management Capability Microsoft VMware Multi-HypervisorManagement Yes Limited1 Comprehensive Guest OS Support Yes Yes2 3rd Party Management Integration Yes Limited3 Multiple Application Frameworks Yes Yes4 1. 2. 3. 4. vCloud Automation Center focuses on provisioning VMs to alternative hypervisors, whilst the Multi-Hypervisor Manager plug-in for vCenter offers only very basic capabilities VMware do not produce any operating systems, and support is therefore focused not on the guest operating system itself, but instead, on the VM Tools and hardware. vCenter Orchestrator has a limited number of 3rd party plug-ins and vCenter Operations Management Suite requires the purchase of 3 rd Party adaptors to integrate. Monitoring capabilities do extend to multiple frameworks but support for many frameworks is out of date - .NET 3.0 is the latest for instance. Also, the monitoring is not connected to any true DevOps capability, and lacks remediation guidance around detected issues.

DirectPath I/O, whilst not identical to SR-IOV, aims to provide virtual machines with more direct access to hardware devices, with network cards being a good example. Whilst on the surface, this will boost VM networking performance, and reduce the burden on host CPU cycles, in reality, there are a number of caveats in using DirectPath I/O: 2 VMware’s • • • • Small Hardware Compatibility List No Memory Overcommit | No vMotion (unless running certain configurations of Cisco UCS) | No Fault Tolerance No Network I/O Control | No VM Snapshots (unless running certain configurations of Cisco UCS) No Suspend/Resume (unless running certain configurations of Cisco UCS) | No VMsafe/Endpoint Security support SR-IOV also requires the vSphere Distributed Switch, meaning customers have to upgrade to the highest vSphere edition to take advantage of this capability. No such restrictions are imposed when using SR-IOV in Hyper-V, ensuring customers can combine the highest levels of performance with the flexibility they need for an agile infrastructure. vSphere Hypervisor / vSphere 5.x Ent+ Information: http://www.vmware.com/pdf/Perf_Best_Practices_vSphere5.0.pdf
