Virtualization at CSUDH

Discover the transformative power of server virtualization in IT management presented by Dr. Ronald Bergmann, Associate VP for IT at CSUDH. This seminar covers the evolution from traditional physical servers to a robust virtual environment, emphasizing cost reduction, improved disaster recovery, and environmental benefits. Learn how redesigning the data center, managing virtual desktops, and optimizing server usage can significantly increase operational efficiency and reduce the carbon footprint. Explore the advantages of thin clients and their impact on energy consumption and e-waste.

  6. What is Virtualization www.synegi.com/.../Server%20Virtualization%20Seminar%20Presentation.ppt

  7. Highlights of Virtualization Former model • Single OS image per machine • Hardware and software coupled • Conflicts when using multiple applications • We found most machines were at 10% capacity • Manage full images rather than data alone • Makes restoration of entire machine possible

  8. Outcomes of Server Farm Virtualization • Reduce costs for server replacement • Formerly maintaining over 200 physical servers • Development of a robust platform to launch improved services to the campus • Mobile Labs • Virtual desktops • Ease of administration in software offerings

  9. Outcomes of Server Farm Virtualization • Administration from anywhere, anytime • Increased disaster recovery thru replication • Reducing the carbon footprint of the campus • Reduction in costs of power • Reduction in costs for HVAC • Edison rebates to pay for equipment

  10. Outcomes of Server Farm Virtualization

  11. Data Center Redesign • Redesign of data center was a critical piece in beginning the virtualization efforts • Purpose to identify all servers and appropriately place them in firewall zones for maximum protection • Identified servers that were no longer needed and/or underutilized. • Developed security as we moved from physical to virtual

  12. Data Center Redesign

  13. Edison Site Survey • Edison inventoried all identified servers • Edison conducted a site survey at the close of the project to ensure all identified servers were removed from the network • Received $158K from Edison at the close of the project

  14. Disaster Recovery Benefits • Complete systems – incl. virtual hardware, OS and applications – are encapsulated in a single file. • That entire file can be easily replicated to the DR site. • The process of recovery is reduced to powering on the VMs on the DR site. • DR site can be located in any geographic location that has connectivity

  17. Desktop virtualization advantages • Desktops are an even more significant consumer of energy than servers • Over 500 million desktops in the world • With a thin client you can save about 70%, depending on what your PC looks like and what the thin client is. • The other major benefit is the time to replacement. You don’t need to replace thin clients nearly as often, thereby reducing your costs and e-waste that goes into manufacturing the desktops. www.umbc.edu/meec/docs/hartfordvmware.ppt
