Evolution of Server Computing C/S Web SOA # components Explosion in # of Physical & Logical components + Source: IBM Scorpion, VMware Internal Relative CPU Utilization Low x86 Utilization…Becoming Even Lower (i.e. Multicore)  Increased complexity and inefficiency!

5 Copyright © 2005 VMware, Inc. All rights reserved. VMware Technology Overview Old Model: Traditional x86 Architecture Single OS image per machine Software and hardware tightly coupled Multiple applications often conflict Underutilized resources introduce real cost into the infrastructure

6 Copyright © 2005 VMware, Inc. All rights reserved. VMware Technology Overview Separate OS and hardware – break hardware dependencies Manage OS and application as single unit by encapsulating them into VMs Strong fault and security isolation Standard, HW independent environments can be provisioned anywhere Flexibility to chose the right OS for the right application New Model: VMware Technology

7 Copyright © 2005 VMware, Inc. All rights reserved. Encapsulation Server provisioning is similar to copying a file Server migration is now similar to data migration Data management techniques can be used for server management Server cloning/copying Versioning Server archival Remote mirroring Entire server – OS, apps, data, devices, and state – is now simply a file.

8 Copyright © 2005 VMware, Inc. All rights reserved. Hardware Independent A Virtual Machines always sees the same set of hardware, independent of the physical hardware. Can be moved to different hardware, without any change. From Laptop to desktop to high-end Server Easy for: Provisioning new machines Disaster Recovery Scaling

9 Copyright © 2005 VMware, Inc. All rights reserved. Enables You to: Dynamically map computing resources to the business Lower IT costs through increased efficiency, flexibility and responsiveness Provision new services and change the amount of resources dedicated to a software service Treat your data center as a single pool of processing, storage and networking power Virtual Infrastructure Virtual infrastructure brings uniformity to your data center
