Virtualization on Servers - now the ‘norm’ Resource utilization and flexibility are top perceived benefits Says that Consolidation still prime reason for virtualization Availability and security starting to show up on the horizon Source: IBM primary research

Other factors driving Virtualization Need to reduce power and cooling costs Lower operational budgets New applications accelerate the need for new servers Increased demand on server installation Improved flexibility / manageability 5 5

What VMWARE offers - More efficient use of resources Reduce management complexity by combining stand-alone hosts into clusters for higher availability and more flexible resource controls CPU = a Mem = x CPU = b Mem = y CPU = c Mem = z Stand-alone hosts Cluster Pooled Resources CPU = a+b+c Mem = x+y+z Availability Transparent failover
