- 5. Virtualization Security • Threat landscape continues to evolve (virtual threats unknown) • Security solutions may compromise performance Challenges • Security and compliance complexities in high density environments • Virtual machines are dynamic and easily provisioned • Confidential data is increasingly mobile and in multiple locations • Shared Insight cache delivered on an out-of-guest virtual data store • VM scan workload elimination and deduplication • Policy driven workload interaction controls • Seamless data discovery and monitoring • Virtual host and guest hardening Virtualize With Confidence
- 6. Virtualization High Availability • Ensuring application availability • Coordinating new deployments and updates Challenges • Managing unanticipated cost increases • Compensating for lack of integrated management tools • Advanced monitoring for multi-tier applications • Unique policy-driven restarts coordinated with VMware HA and vMotion • Minimized risk of application downtime • Centralized application management across physical and virtual machines Virtualize With Confidence
- 7. Virtualization Storage • Storage cost overruns: Largest Capex component of new virtualization projects at “34-40%” –TechAlpha Challenges • Increased complexity • Run-time performance can suffer at scale • Repurpose existing storage (from any vendor) to meet virtualization demands • Scale file serving I/O and storage capacity independently • Provision more VMs and virtual desktops faster Virtualize With Confidence
- 8. Virtualization Data Protection • More data to protect in more places • Full recoverability requires protecting physical and virtual Challenges • Optimizing performance with the right architecture is critical • Need multiple recovery options…files, apps, data centers • Global deduplication at the source, media server, or target • Reduce storage consumption with single backup, two recovery options • Single solution data protection for virtual and physical environments • Automatically verified recoverability of every backup • Single pass backup with granular restore of VMs, files, apps or objects Virtualize With Confidence

Editor's Notes
- #5 As your business transforms your IT infrastructure and operations into an agile service delivery platform, virtualization is the key enabler to improved cost efficiencies, a higher quality of service and increased agility in delivering against near real time business requirements. This transformation takes you on a “journey to greater value” and VMware is leading the way.As you adopt virtualization and progress from a traditional physical to more innovative virtualized environment, there are a variety of challenges that can impede your progress and slow your time to value. These challenges materialize in the form of broken backup and recovery operations, higher storage costs, application availability concerns and inconsistent security and compliance postures.Symantec can remove these obstacles and accelerate the path to business critical virtualization. Symantec’s broad portfolio, with V-Ray technologies, can deliver the visibility you need into both your physical and virtual environments to control cost and ensure high levels of performance, availability and effectiveness in business-critical operations. No other partner can address as many of these challenges as effectively as Symantec.
- #6 In the area of securing your virtual environment, Symantec’s broad portfolio can help address these noted challenges.The threat landscape continues to evolve and we are not yet sure how these threats will target the virtual platform.Traditional security solutions can often introduce performance challenges as they are carried over into a virtual environment. A classic example is where you have 25 VMs running on a single physical host and the antivirus scanners all execute at the same time. This can dramatically reduce the performance and availability of the host.VMs, by nature, are more dynamic and easily provisioned. This can cause disruptions in how organizations have previously managed security and compliance coverage.And data has the potential of residing on new and rapidly changing VMs which can create new challenges in managing where your confidential data is, where is travels and who has access to it.Symantec has the broadest portfolio of security and compliance solutions which can help mitigate these issues.We continue to offer the most effective protection while innovating new ways to execute that protection without compromising the performance of the VM or the host.We can automatically discover and monitor newly provisioned VMs that come online And make certain that they comply with standards for things like patch levels and configurations.We can also seamless discover and protect data assets across both your physical and virtual environments to better manage the confidentiality and integrity of those data assets.Many of our solutions take advantage of the virtual platform and can be deployed as virtual appliancesAnd a number of our solutions leverage purpose built content with things like policy packs that can instantly apply VMware-based best practices for ESX server hardening or configuration standard templates for regulatory compliance.Overall, our portfolio can offer seamless coverage as you migrate from a physical to virtual infrastructure.
