VMware Infrastructure 3 The Next Generation in Virtualization

2 Agenda VMware Technology Review VMware Infrastructure 3 Overview

3  Single OS image per machine  Software and hardware tightly coupled  Running multiple applications on same machine often creates conflict  Underutilized, inflexible, costly infrastructure Without Virtualization  Break dependencies between OS and hardware  Manage OS and application as single unit by encapsulating them into VMs  Strong fault and security isolation  VMs are hardware-independent: they can be provisioned anywhere With VMware Virtualization How server virtualization transforms x86 systems

4 Anatomy of a virtual machine Each Virtual Machine is a complete system encapsulated in a set of software files Physical Server ESX Server Virtual Machines Unmodified Application Unmodified OS Virtual Hardware

5 Key features of VMware virtualization Hardware Independence Run a virtual machine on any server without modification Partitioning Run multiple virtual machines simultaneously on a single physical server Isolation Each virtual machine is isolated from other virtual machines on the same server Encapsulation Virtual machines encapsulate entire systems (hardware configuration, operating system, apps) in files ……… …... …… ……… …... …… ……… …... ……

9 Server virtualization Benefits Increase hardware utilization by sharing hardware resources across a large number of virtual machines Use less hardware for business continuity Deploy multiple virtual machines on a single physical server Physical Server ESX Server Virtual Machines

10 Requirements for enterprise-class virtualization Virtualization of servers, storage and network Not just servers, storage and network virtualization as well! Reliability, scale and performance ESX Server at a customer site: 800 days continuous uptime! Interoperability and certification Extensive certification, testing and interoperability throughout the stack Support for enterprise workloads Up to 16GB RAM and 4 virtual CPUs per VM From single server partitioning to virtualization of entire infrastructure including servers, storage and networking

15 Live migration of virtual machines with VMotion What is it? Live migration of virtual machines with VMware VMotion Customer Impact Zero downtime maintenance Continuous service availability Complete transaction integrity Supported on Fibre Channel and iSCSI SAN and NAS Over 70% of VMware customers have implemented VMotion

16 Resource pools Customer Impact Failed server means fewer resources not a failed application Enables high availability across the infrastructure Provides service level assurance 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 Aggregate collections of disparate hardware resources into unified logical resource pools Servers, Storage, Networking Business Unit Department A Department B Aggregate Resources Resource Pool 2 CPU 36GHz, Mem 58GB Priority HIGH Resource Pool 3 CPU 12GHz, Mem 22GB Priority LOW CPU 48GHz, Mem 80GB

17 Resource optimization with VMware DRS 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 Dynamic and intelligent allocation of hardware resources to ensure optimal alignment between business and IT Resource Pool Business Demand

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

19 1.Activate Maintenance Mode for physical host 2.DRS migrates running virtual machines to other hosts Use VMotion to evacuate hosts Move running applications to other servers without disruption Perform maintenance at any time of day Automate with DRS maintenance mode Automates moving virtual machines to other hosts Automates re-balancing after maintenance complete NE W Shut down idle host and perform maintenance Restart host; DRS automatically rebalances workloads VMotion Zero-downtime maintenance using VMware technology

20 New—Ensure high availability with VMware HA 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 VMware HA enables cost-effective high availability for all applications Resource Pool X

21 New—Protect data with VMware consolidated backup What is it? Centralized agentless backup for virtual machines Move backup out of the virtual machine Eliminate backup traffic on the local area network Pre-integrated with major 3rd-party backup products Customer Impact Perform backup in the middle of the day Centralized file level backup enables easy & reliable data protection CENTRALIZED DATA MOVER BACKUP PROXY BACKUP DISK

22 VMware Infrastructure—Operational simplicity Broad-based, cost-effective application availability and business continuity VMware HA Ensured service levels Capacity on-demand and intelligent resource balancing Continuous uptime and non-disruptive maintenance of IT environments Live migration of entire running systems Instant provisioning and easy virtual machines management VirtualCenter
