  4. Agenda • Introductions • VMware Infrastructure 3 Overview • Solutions, Use Cases • Demonstration

  5. 1998 3,000+ 20,000+ AMD, Dell, HP, IBM, Intel 5,000+ 100% of the Fortune 100 Independent EMC Subsidiary IPO in August 2007 (NYSE:VMW) VMware at a Glance • Founded • Total Employees • Number of Users • Key Partnerships • # Channel Partners • Customer Profile • Operating Structure • Publicly Traded

  6. Automation Aggregation Availability Optimization Central Management Central Management Enterprise-Class Virtualization Enterprise-Class Virtualization System Partitioning System Partitioning System Partitioning The Virtualization Market Has Matured… 3rd Gen… Infrastructure-wide Virtualization 2006 + ... 2nd Generation Virtual Infrastructure 1st Generation Single System Hypervisor-based Stack 2003-2005 1999-2001

  7. Traditional Intel Architecture

  8. Intel Architecture with VMware

  9. Virtualized Hardware Virtual machines are the full equivalent of a standard x86 machine

  10. Virtualization as a Resource Multiplier All physical resources are shared by virtual machines resulting in a resource multiplier effect Physical Physical Virtualized Virtualized 4-way Server 2 HBAs (paired) Run up to 32 Virtual Machines ! Create and allocate up to 32 Virtual Disks ! 2 NICs (paired) 6GB Memory Allocate up to 12 GB Virtual Machine Memory ! Create and allocate up to 16 Virtual NICs !

  11. “Hostless” Architecture - ESX Server • Runs directly on hardware • Manages resource allocations • Strong fault and security isolation • High performance device drivers Products like Windows Virtual Server and VMware Server (Free) are hosted virtualization architectures. Rely on a host OS like Windows or Linux

  12. Department A Department B Resource Pools Aggregate collections of disparate hardware resources into unified logical resource pools • Customer Impact • Failed server mean less resources not a failed application • Dedicated (virtual) infrastructure for each business unit; central IT retains control over hardware • Delegation of resource and virtual machine management down to the business unit • Management of an entire SOA application stack as a single entity Business Unit Resource Pool 3 Resource Pool 2 CPU 12GHz, Mem 22GB Priority LOW CPU 36GHz, Mem 58GB Priority HIGH Aggregate Resources CPU 48 GHz, Mem 80GB Servers, Storage, Networking

  13. Live Migration Of Virtual Machines with VMotion • What is it? • Live migration of virtual machines with VMware VMotion • Customer Impact • Zero downtime • Continuous service availability • Complete transaction integrity • Supported on Fibre Channel and iSCSI SAN and NAS

  14. VMotion - How Does it Work? VMware’s clustered Virtual Machine File System (VMFS) allows multiple installations of ESX Server to access the same virtual machine files concurrently. Second, the active memory and precise execution state of the virtual machine is rapidly transferred over a high speed network, allowing the virtual machine to instantaneously switch from running on the source ESX Server to the destination ESX Server.

  15. Resource Optimization with VMware DRS Dynamic and intelligent allocation of hardware resources to ensure optimal alignment between business and IT • What is it? • Dynamic balancing of computing resources across resource pools • Intelligent resource allocation based on pre-defined rules • Customer Impact • Align IT resources with business priorities • Operational simplicity; dramatically increase system administrator productivity • Add hardware dynamically to avoid over-provisioning to peak load • Automate hardware maintenance Business Demand Resource Pool

  16. Capacity on Demand with VMware DRS Add hardware dynamically • Provisioning is “fire and forget” • Easily add more capacity • Avoid over-provisioning to peak load Resource Pool CPU 50 GHz, Mem 70GB Priority HIGH Resource Pool CPU 36GHz, Mem 58GB Priority HIGH

  17. Ensure High availability with VMware HA VMware HA enables cost-effective high availability for all applications • What is it? • Automatic restart of virtual machines in case of server failure • Customer Impact • Cost effective high availability for all applications • No need for dedicated stand-by hardware • None of the cost and complexity of clustering X Resource Pool

  18. Unparalleled Memory Management Host System Memory is usually the bottleneck • Transparent Page Sharing • Utilize available memory more efficiently by storing memory pages identical across multiple virtual machines only once. • RAM Over-Commitment • VMware memory management technology allows an average of 2:1 memory over commit (and oftentimes greater) • 8GB physical memory can be 16GB of virtual memory. Transparent Page Sharing Memory ballooning

  20. Server Consolidation and Containment – Eliminate server sprawl by deploying systems into virtual machines 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 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. Infrastructure Provisioning – Reduce the time for provisioning new infrastructure to minutes with sophisticated automation capabilities. Legacy Application Re-hosting – Migrate legacy operating systems and software applications to virtual machines running on new hardware for better reliability VMware Infrastructure – Key Solutions / Use Cases

  21. Relative CPU Utilization # components C/S Web SOA Source: IBM Scorpion, VMware Internal Evolution of Server Computing Explosion in # of Physical& Logical components Low x86 Utilization…Becoming Even Lower (i.e. Multicore) + • Dramatic increases in dedicated, under-utilized IT assets • Management of servers is costly and complex • Inflexibility makes it hard to meet business needs

  22. Enterprise Workloads Run the most resource intensive enterprise applications such as databases, CRM and ERP applications in virtual machines • 16 GB RAM • Up to 4 virtual CPUs • Support for powerful physical servers with up to 32 logical CPU and 64 GB RAM

  23. Proven in Production 85%of VMware customers use server virtualization in production1 43%set virtualization as a default policy for most new production servers1 49%of VMware customers have deployed VMotion live migration in production1 VMware: Fully proven in real-world production deployments 1 Source: Management Insights Dec 2006 (commissioned by VMware, Inc.); N = 2228 VMware customers 1 Source: Management Insights Dec 2006 (commissioned by VMware, Inc.); N = 2228 VMware customers
