20. 20 Q and A

21. 21 ESXi Migration

22. 22 VMware ESXi: 3rd Generation Hypervisor Architecture VMware GSX (VMware Server) Installs as an application Runs on a host OS Depends on OS for resource management VMware ESX Architecture Installs “bare metal” Relies on a Linux OS (Service Console) for running partner agents and scripting VMware ESXi Architecture Installs “bare metal” Management tasks are moved outside of the hypervisor VMware ESX Service Console VMware ESXi 2001 2003 2007 The ESXi architecture runs independently of a general purpose OS, simplifying hypervisor management and improving security. VMkernel Windows or Linux OS VMware Server

23. 23 Converging to ESXi with the Next vSphere Release  With the GA of vSphere 4.1 in July 2010 VMware officially announced that starting with the next vSphere our hypervisor architecture will converge to ESXi  From the release note: VMware vSphere 4.1 and its subsequent update and patch releases are the last releases to include both ESX and ESXi hypervisor architectures. Future major releases of VMware vSphere will include only the VMware ESXi architecture. VMware recommends that customers start transitioning to the ESXi architecture when deploying VMware vSphere 4.1. VMware will continue to provide technical support for VMware ESX according to the VMware vSphere support policy on the VMware Enterprise Infrastructure Support page.VMware Enterprise Infrastructure Support To learn more about the ESXi architecture and how to migrate from ESX to ESXi, go to the VMware ESXi and ESX InfoCenter.VMware ESXi and ESX InfoCenter

24. 24 How Does A User Plan an ESX to ESXi migration? 1.Visit the ESX and ESXi Info Center 2.Start testing ESXi If you’ve not already deployed, there’s no better time than the present 3.Ensure 3 rd party solutions used by your customers are ESXi Ready Monitoring, backup, management, etc. Most already are. Bid farewell to agents! 4.Familiarize with ESXi remote management options Transition any scripts or automation that depended on the COS Powerful off-host scripting and automation using vCLI, PowerCLI, … 5.Plan an ESXi migration as part of vSphere upgrade Testing of ESXi architecture can be incorporated into overall vSphere testing

41. 41 Terminology Changes That Are Important vSphere 5.0 Editions vSphere 5.0 Kits Other New Terminology No further use of the terms Compute, Storage, or Network Use of the “vSphere” branding convention vs. “VMware” (Example – VMware Fault Tolerance is not vSphere Fault Tolerance) in product names Kits name applies to the following vSphere offerings: Essentials Essentials + Essentials ROBO Essentials + ROBO Acceleration Kits Editions name applies to the following vSphere offerings: Standard Advanced ENT ENT +

42. 42 Selling Strategies in Detail Selling Target vSphere Package Target and RationaleVMware Overall Objectives Individual Users Hypervisor Individual users or groups with no virtualization experience or awareness. Get as many users to try VMware’s core virtualization product as possible. Upsell users from free product to paid product. SMB Essential Kits and Standard SMBs with basic IT sophistication, smaller environments, and price sensitivity. Some may need scale but not advanced features. Essentials Kits are at low price points, ideal for introductory purchases, and have a defined IT scale (up to 3 hosts). Continue to gain market share with SMBs and provide them basic business continuity features. Grow small SMB customer segment and position for upsell/upgrade over time Larger SMBAcceleration Kit Customers new to virtualization. Single SKU bundle to simplify sales in the transactional channel. For SMBs to start a virtualized environment, with vCenter Standard to add additional capabilities (e.g., multi-site recovery) Provide larger and growing SMBs an extensible management platform and a scalable virtualized infrastructure. Simplify the sales process with a discounted, single SKU bundle. ROBO Essentials for ROBO Retail and Branch Office environments with high price sensitivity and no need for advanced vSphere features used in datacenter environments. Most likely a enterprise-class customer that is extending beyond the data center. Gain market share in the retail space (as well as other verticals) and prepare these customers for upsell to more advanced features in higher editions. Large Enterprise ENT and ENT+ Customers with high IT sophistication who are considering virtualization of mission critical workloads. Ent+ provides policy-based management, with the highest level of virtualization performance possible Provide confidence to virtualize mission critical applications while guaranteeing SLA’s for larger VM’s and business critical applications.
