13. Virtualization Defined Virtualization ● [vur-choo-uhl-iz-ey-shuhn] virt·tual·iz-a-tion● –noun Virtualization is the creation of a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, such as an operating system, a server, a storage device or network resources. 5

20. What’s Driving Virtualization ?

23. <30% of IT budgets goes to innovation and competitive advantage5%Infrastructure Investment 23%Application Investment 42%Infrastructure Maintenance 30%Application Maintenance Business Agility Depends on IT Agility

24. Trend #1: Hardware Is Underutilized Today’s Hardware is more than 100,000 x more powerful than just 10 short years ago! What Is Driving Virtualization

25. Trend #2: Data Centers are out of Space A recent study by the Enterprise Strategy Group predicted that governments and corporations will store over 25 exabytes of data by the year 2010. What Is Driving Virtualization

26. Trend #3: Energy Costs Are Escalating Energy Consumption and Cost should not be overlooked as a driving force for virtualization. What Is Driving Virtualization

27. Trend #4: System Administrative Costs Are Rising As Hardware expands in an environment it needs to be maintained and the time restraints on IT staffs are being stressed to the limits. What Is Driving Virtualization

28. Obviously something isn’t working very well… …so what should we do?

29. Virtualization Defined For those more visually inclined… Traditional Architecture Virtual Architecture

30. The NEW Datacenter Efficient & Resilient Pool of Resources Shared pools of resources Self-optimizing Fault tolerant Self-protecting Automated Desktop or Server Workloads

41. Virtual Infrastructure Abstraction + Pooling = Reduced Complexity Virtual Infrastructure Traditional View File/Print Exchange Operating System Operating System CPUPool MemoryPool Oracle CRM SAP ERP StoragePool Operating System Operating System InterconnectPool

43. Distributed Power Management (DPM)

44. vMotion (VM and Storage)

45. vNetwork Distributed Switch

47. Containment - An ongoing effort to virtualize new applications and manage growth of existing ones

48. Availability – Introducing virtualization to increase application availability and data recoverability…there are many more benefits of virtualization

49. The Results are Transformational Financial Energy Human Energy Earth’s Energy Capital and datacenter costs Average power,cooling and realestate needs Time spent on routine admin tasks

50. Optimize Financial Energy Get more done with less The Results are Transformational Financial Energy Human Energy Earth’s Energy Capital and datacenter costs Average power,cooling and realestate needs Time spent on routine admin tasks Capital costs reduced by 50% - 60% Delayed datacenter expansion Operational costs reduced by 25%+

51. Shift Human Energy Shift from serving hardware to serving the business The Results are Transformational Financial Energy Earth’s Energy Human Energy Capital and datacenter costs Average power,cooling and realestate needs Time spent on routine admin tasks Capital costs reduced by 50% - 60% Delayed datacenter expansion Operational costs reduced by 25%+ Average of 33% reduction in routine admin time E.g. provision a server in minutes

52. Save Earth’s Energy Use less, and use it more wisely The Results are Transformational Financial Energy Human Energy Earth’s Energy Capital and datacenter costs Average power,cooling and realestate needs Time spent on routine admin tasks Capital costs reduced by 50% - 60% Delayed datacenter expansion Operational costs reduced by 25%+ Average of 33% reduction in routine admin time E.g. provision a server in minutes Up to 80% reduction in datacenter energy costs

53. “Organizations are looking at ways to cut costs, betterutilize assets, and reduce implementation and management time and complexity. Virtualization addresses all of these concerns.” Gartner The Results are Transformational Financial Energy Human Energy Earth’s Energy Capital and datacenter costs Average power,cooling and realestate needs Time spent on routine admin tasks …what will be your benefits for virtualization Source: Gartner Dataquest Insight: Virtualization Market Size Driven by Cost Reduction, Resource Utilization, and Management Advantages, Jan09

56. Disaster Recovery Features

57. Desktop VirtualizationAdditional Virtualization Features

58. vSphere Storage Appliance – How does it work? VSA runs as a virtual machine on vSphere, in multiple hosts 1 VMware vSphere Storage Appliance provides virtual shared storage volumes without the hardware. Enabling key features from vSphere Editions: Essentials Plus, Standard High Availability vMotion Enterprise Fault Tolerance Distributed Resource Scheduler Enterprise Plus Storage vMotion 2 Uses server internal hard disk – no additional hardware required Clusters storage across server nodes 3

60. Setup, testing, failover

61. Turns manual recovery runbooks into automated recovery plans
