Journey to
Seamless Computing Environment
-
Physical / State full Systems
Before Virtualization
1:1 Ratio of Server/OS/Application
Server Sprawl
Low utilization
Some Assembly Required*Provisioning time
Complicated and cumbersome DR
$4000/server/year Power, cooling, real estate, networking
(NIC/HBA), service contracts
-
Reasons for stateless computing
Consolidation - One-time event that moves existing applications
onto a fewer number of servers
Containment - An ongoing effort to virtualize new applications and
manage growth of existing ones
Availability Introducing virtualization to increase application availability and data recoverability

Dependent on a Host OS for Drivers Patching Reboot | Time Consuming 3.6GB Footprint = Security Risk Gartner ..OS is one big fat single point of failure
Hardware is Certified = Greater reliability VMware patches VMs w/ No Downtime 70MB Footprint = Small attack surface 3-10x VMs per Host = Greater VM density

Components of Seamless Computing
-
vSphere Virtual Data Center OS
virtual data center
Dynamic Computing
vMotion stateful (live) migration of VMs
DRS Policy based Auto-Migration for better performance | load balancing
+ intelligent auto-placement of new VMs
Storage vMotion stateful | live migration of VMs storage - i/o, maintenance, new storage
Memory Overcommit, Compression &
Management = Many more VMs per hostVM
-
vSphere Virtual Data Center OS
virtual data center
Power Management
DPM automated migration (load balancing) & Power
Management
auto-placement of VMs & powerdown of hardware that is
not needed during low
workload demands
Green + savings on power &
cooling
+ restart when it is needed

vSphere Virtual Data Center OS

Virtual Switching
Previously virtual switches
have been isolated to the host
Distributed switch creates a
virtual switch to span across
the environment
Cisco Nexus 1000v is now
available

vSphere Virtual Data Center OS

Fault Tolerance
HA still available for lower tier
apps
Identify VMs you want for fault tolerance and start the service
A shadow VM is created and
takes over if host failure
occurs

Dont take OUR word for itVMware is clearly ahead in:
Understanding the market
Product strategy
Business model
Technology innovation, Product capabilities
Sales execution
VMware Strengths:
Far-reaching virtualization strategy
enabling cloud computing, new application
architectures and broader management
Technology leadership and innovation
High customer satisfaction
Large installed base (especially Global
2000), and rapid growth of service
providers planning to use VMware (vCloud)
VMware stands alone as a leader in this Magic Quadrant Gartner
