Severe competition heats up among major vendors!

Crowded virtual platform market

Independent virtual platform vendors entered the market. => VMware(ESX), Citrix(XenServer) and MS(Hyper-V).

Increasingly intense competition on customer retention and function enhancement

Make a difference on license, maintenance support level, performance, function, I/O ,etc.

Delay and uncertainty of standardization.

User select virtual platform based on specific requirements. As a result, heterogeneous virtual platform is inevitable.

Due to multiple virtualization layer, failure handling and maintenance get complex.

Integrated management software for mixed virtual platform is required.

-Why is unified VM management required ?

While increasing flexibility of system configuration, system operation may become more difficult.

Common operation of multiple virtual environments.

Provides unified console for mixed VM environment that makes

management easier.

*Available function might differ according to environment

NEC SigmaSystemCenter absorb the difference of each environment.

Simple operability is enabled even in the mixed environment because of providing collective CLI.

MS Hyper-V

XenServer

Individual customization using API/CLI for environment target management is required.

Since each virtual environment API/CLI is not compatible, mixed environment management is more difficult.

Single virtualized product will be selected, the freedom of optimized selection is restricted. Still, it is not easy to control the virtualized environment with the existing operation tools.

As well as basic operations, advanced processing like recovery process and optimized VM placement are provided as command.

Control function for virtual environment is added to the existing operational environment, if NEC SigmaSystemCenter is used as "command processor".

Challenges : Integrated Monitoring/Operation tools are not enough for managing virtual machines.

What would happen if we try to connect virtual environment with tools that don't have management function for virtual environment....

NEC SigmaSystemCenter enables patch deployment/management

using multiple methods to physical machine and virtual machine

(Windows/Linux).

Management Servers

VMware ESX Server

Virtual Machine

Administrator

Automatically determines patches to be applied to each server.

Administrator only registers patch information and schedules.

Patch information registration and distribution schedule

Patches are batch applied according to the schedules. OS automatically reboots as

needed.

Patch status are centrally monitored.

Batch Distribution

Applies patches to each virtual machine

Template Template Template

If patches are applied to a template, all virtual machines created from it have the patches already applied.

Method 3: Template Distribution

NEC SigmaSystemCenter can detect and recover from failures of virtual machines and virtualization platform.

Avoid downtime with predictive failure detection and pre-emptive live migration.

NEC SigmaSystemCenter monitors the load status of each server.

Live migration relocates virtual machines and equalizes entire load

when high load detected.

Enable load equalization and power saving operation by setting up

appropriate load threshold in optimization engine.

The Optimization Engine Threshold set up UI Fig.1.Load equalization

by allocating VM to low load server.

Fig.2.

As all servers are loaded beyond a threshold, NEC SigmaSystemCenter will build up a new ESX Server to equalize server load.

Virtual Machines are relocated dynamically according to system load level. Idle servers can be powered off if desired to reduce power consumption.
