Virtualization Technology Overview

Old Model: Traditional x86 Architecture Single OS image per machine Software and hardware tightly coupled Multiple applications often conflict Underutilized resources

Old model is challenging!

Server Sprawl
38 m physical servers by 2010 - 700% increase in 15 years $140 bn in excess server capacity - a 3-year supply

Power & Cooling

What is Virtualization?

With Virtualization

Operating System
Hardwar e

VMware provides hardware virtualization that presents a complete x86 platform to the virtual machine

Allows multiple applications to run in isolation within virtual machines on the same physical machine
Virtualization provides direct access to the hardware resources to give you much greater performance than software emulation

A Virtual Machine

Virtualization Increases Hardware Utilization

Before VMware After VMware

Virtualization enables consolidation of workloads from underutilized servers onto a single server to safely achieve higher utilization

Top 3 Reasons for virtualization

1 Reduce Physical Infrastructure Cost

Reduce Datacenter Operating Cost (e.g. Power & Cooling)

Minimize Lost Revenue Due to Downtime

Reduce Physical Infrastructure Cost

VMware
Decouples software from hardware Encapsulates Operating Systems and applications into Virtual Machines

Reduce Server Spend Through Consolidation

A Server or Desktop Virtual Machine

Reduce Datacenter Operating Cost (e.g. Power & Cooling) Highest consolidation rates on most secure and reliable virtualization platform

Safely improve utilization rates

80% energy reduction Dynamic server and storage migration Power off unneeded servers in real-time Migrate storage dynamically 25% energy reduction Free up resources and budgets from day-to-day maintenance to focus on future innovation and strategic projects Drivers of productivity improvements: Instant provisioning Dynamic patching

Tangible: Cost savings (Servers, Space, Power, Cooling) Improve asset utilization Allow faster resource deployment Reduce datacenter costs by reducing your physical infrastructure and improving your server to admin ratio Improve desktop manageability and security Better management

Intangible: Business Continuity Disaster Recovery Easy to manage

Strategic Benefits: Virtualization helps them treat their internal infrastructure as a service rather than a lot of hardware means
