What works

VMwareVMware has been in the released ESX and GSX 1.0 in 2001. Virtual Center released in 2003. Has the most experience Is the farthest along Very mature product suite Focus is on integrating IT process automation around virtualization

CitrixCitrix XenServer acquired XenSource on August 15 th, 2007 Has working low cost server virtualization solution Focus is on client virtualization

MicrosoftMicrosoft Hyper-V (formerly Windows Server Virtualization) Standalone version released in October 2008 Real solution (one with HA) has been out since August 2008.

What's in it for me?

Higher availabilityFaster provisioning

Higher resource utilization Adaptive and scalable infrastructureReduced hard and soft cost

Staff more perfective/strategicly focused Ability to consistently recover the business


10/15

$ how me the money

Physical server costs 1K/year power and cooling 100 servers cost 100,000.00/year in power Same servers virtualized cost 3,000.00 in power Server provisioning time (weeks to minutes)

Increased availabilityReduced TCOIncreased business agilityMust go All In to realize full benefitsBackups no longer constrained to backup windowSimplified and real DR solutionIncreased server utilization
