OPERATING SYSTEMS

Freedom of Choice: Any OS and workload

Larger, faster enterprise-class virtual machines

70 + operating systems versions

200 + hardware configurations

Virtual Machine Architecture

Key Features of Virtualization

Hardware Independence

Run a virtual machine on any server without modification

Partitioning

Run multiple virtual machines simultaneously on a single physical

server

Isolation

Each virtual machine is isolated from other virtual machines on the

same server

Encapsulation

Entire virtual machine is saved in files and can be moved and copied

Architecture with VMware (Native)

Key Benefits of ESX Server Over VMware Server

ESX Server

VMware Infrastructure – Key Solutions / Use Cases

Server Consolidation and Containment

– Eliminate server

sprawl by deploying systems into virtual machines

Test and Development

– Rapidly provision and re-provision test

and development servers; store libraries of pre-configured test

machines

Enterprise Desktop

– Secure unmanaged PCs. Alternatively,

provide standardized enterprise desktop environments hosted on

servers.

Business Continuity

– Reduce the cost and complexity of

business continuity by encapsulating entire systems files that can

be replicated and restored onto any target server

Infrastructure Provisioning

– Reduce the time for provisioning

new infrastructure to minutes with sophisticated automation

capabilities.

Benefits:

Reduce hardware costs up to 30-50%

Reduce operations costs up to 70-80%

Reduce complexity

Deploy new services efficiently

Solving the Problem

•VMware Infrastructure provides a managed approach to

regain control over serve sprawl

Case Study – UK Telco

Problem:

>1500 servers in 350 rack spaces in 5 data centers Heat, Cooling, Power Issues

Old Servers – NT4 & Proprietary Apps – no Backup. No Flexibility of IT

Solution:

Virtualized & Consolidated using VMware Software & HP Hardware 10:1 Consolidation Ratio – 168 x BL45p, all running VMware

Run NT4 etc on brand new hardware – back up the Virtual Machine 350 racks consolidated to 35 racks in 3 data centers.

Network ports reduced from 4509 to 504 $1.2m/year cost savings

Est power costs reduced from £800,000 to £44,000

333 servers replaced

per year

appr. 10,000 man/hrs

saved

From 20-40 hrs to build a server and re-load application…

1. Build and configure hardware 2. Load operating system

3. Load configuration tools (Backup,

Resource Kit, Monitoring, etc…)

4. Assign 2 IP addresses

5. Build 3 network connections, copper

or fiber

6. Turn over to applications team to

re-load and re-configure software

7. Test applications

8. Coordinate outage / data migration

…To 15-30 min to copy a virtual

machine and restart

1. Redirect virtual disk to new

VMware virtual machine instance [Tools already loaded]

[Application already loaded, configured]

High Availability/Disaster Recovery

Every year, one out of 500 data centers will

experience a severe disaster

43% of companies experiencing disasters

never re-open, and 29% close within two

years

93% of business that lost their data center

for 10 days went bankrupt within one year

(National Archives & Records Administration)

Disaster Recovery & Downtime – The Facts

60% of businesses in WTC went out of business within 2 years as they had no

business continuity plans

20% of all SME’s suffer a major disaster every 5 years

Average Downtime costs per hour by vertical

Broker Operations $ 6,500,000 Banking Centers $ 2,500,000

Retail $ 140,000

Manufacturing $ 28,000

Other $ 82,500

From report by Institute of Internal Auditors 2004

Impact of Downtime

VMware Response to Various Outage Types

Outage Type VMware Technology Response

Unplanned OS/app failure SDK monitoring and restart of VM Unplanned server HW or

• Branch office consolidation • Desktop disaster recovery

• Value: Central management, increased

security, strong user isolation

• Products: Virtual Desktop Infrastructure

Virtual Desktop Infrastructure

The Challenge

Prudential UK needed to provide 850 employees at its new

Mumbai center with the complete Prudential desktop comprised of more than 100 applications needed to service customers

The VMware Solution

ESX Server enabled Prudential UK to run its standard desktop remotely without rewriting any of its applications

• Implemented in less than six months • Substantial cost savings

• All IT management is done at headquarters in Reading

• Allowed company to extend remote access to third parties and home workers

• Improved customer service

“Without a means to host our existing standard desktop in the UK, we would not have been able to provide remote access to our Mumbai employees in such a short space of time, and VMware server virtualization proved to be the most flexible and cost effective approach.”

VMotion vs. Storage VMotion

VMotion - Moves a running VM

from one ESX server to another

ESX server leveraging

shared

storage

The storage resource stays in the

same storage

location

Storage VMotion - Moves the disk

resources for a VM from one

datastore to

another

datastore

Distributed Power Management (experimental)

Resource Pool Business Demand

Power Off

Consolidates workloads onto fewer servers when the cluster needs fewer resources

Places unneeded servers in standby mode

Brings servers back online as workload needs increase

VMware Update Manager

Update Manager

Eliminates manual tracking of patch levels of ESX Server hosts and virtual machines Automates enforcement of patch

standards

Reduces risk through snapshots and offline virtual machine patching

* Note: RHEL guests can only be scanned, not remediated

Automates patch management for

ESX Server hosts and select

Microsoft and RHEL virtual machines

Scans and remedies online as well as offline virtual machines* and online ESX Server hosts

Snapshots virtual machines prior to patching and allows rollback to

snapshot
