• What is Virtualization
• Virtualization Software
• Advantages of Virtualization
• vCloud
• Optimization and Performance
• Virtualization Architecture
• Q&A
What is Virtualization
• Virtualization is a creation of Virtual over an Actual Complete Machine
• Virtual can be a Hardware Platform, Operating System, Storage Device or Network Resource
• Virtual is a set of files, running programs on an actual, physical machine (which the user need not necessarily be aware of)
• Virtualization is used to centralize administrative tasks while improving scalability and overall hardware-resource utilization
Virtualization Software
• VMware Desktop & Enterprise Software• VMware ESX and VMware ESXi• Market leader in terms of virtualization management tools is
VMware
• Hyper-V Server 2008
• Windows Server 2008 R2 OS platform you can download
Hyper-V Server at no cost.• Citrix Xen Server
• XenServer
Advantages of Virtualization
• Lower number of physical servers
• Implementing a server consolidation strategy
• Having each application within its own "virtual server"
• Standard virtual server, build many, easy duplication
• Deploy multiple operating systems
• Affordable Recovery
• Desktop Management Control
• Protect all applications running
vCloud
• Public Cloud: Management Software and infrastructure technology to enable customers to move their applications to the cloud.
• Hosted Cloud: Offer enterprise customers all the benefits of cloud computing services—delivered on dedicated servers with exclusive network access control to meet their requirements.
• On-Premise Cloud: Increase IT agility by hosting a private cloud that gives your workers the flexibility they demand while helping to optimize datacenter utilization.
vCloud
Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2)
• http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/
Web Service Provides Resizable Compute Capacity in Cloud. It presents a true virtual computing environment.
• Allows you to obtain and configure with minimal friction
• Provides you with complete control of computing resource and environment
• Variety of operating systems, custom applications and environments
vCloud
Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2)
• Scalability upgrading as your computing requirements change
• Allowing you to pay only for capacity that you actually use
• Manage your network access permissions
• Elastic Virtual Images as you desire
• Run on Multiple Locations
• Reliable and Secure Service
Virtual Optimization
• Architectural Design o Number of Servers and their Duties
• Hardware o Disk Space, CPU Usage and Memory
• Performance levelo Number of Users, Software Usage and Licenese’s
• Assembly Level o Data Storage, Backup and Recovery
Virtualization Architecture
Example of an Mid –Size Sage ERP 300 User
Sales, Demo and Needs Analysis:
• Architectural Design o Application Server – IIS Server – Database Server o Number Server = 3
• Hardware o Disk Space:
o 100 gb Application Servero 50 gb IIS Server o 300 gb Database Server (*RAID 1+0)
Virtualization Architecture o CPU Usage:
o 4 Application Servero 4 IIS Server o 4 Database Server (Standard Edition Software)
o Memory: o 12 gb ram o 8 gb ram o 32 gb ram
o Nic Card: o 3
o Dell – Best Practices for Vmware, Hyper V o Dell PowerEdge Blade Servers
Virtualization Architecture
Example of an Mid –Size Sage ERP 300 User
• Performance levelo Number of Users: 10–20–SQL Processor o Software Usage: 8–15 o License – Lanpak, CRM, Network, Concurrent Usage and
Process License
• Assembly Level o Data Storage – Transaction Logs – Number of Drives o Backup & Recovery
