17. Business Drivers Leverage the flexibility and speed of virtualization while optimizing your processes and ensuring infrastructure control Lifecycle Automation Optimize admin efficiency by removing manual provisioning tasks Automate VM decommissioning to free up infrastructure capacity Infrastructure Control Ensure a stable datacenter through proper approvals, standardized configuration procedures, and better accountability Increase business uptime through a stable and maintainable environment

18. VMware Lifecycle Manager Automate, manage & control the cradle to grave lifecycle of VMs Fully automated provisioning process Ensure standardization and consistency Set decommissioning policies to ensure VMs don’t persist beyond their useful life Automated Provisioning Decommissioning Intelligent Deployment VM Tracking Task Management

19. Provide centralized web interface for VM requests Drive lifecycle information into the requesting process

20. David Hewett Senior IT Manager@Qualcomm Case Study: Qualcomm Business challenges – Leveraging dollars already spent on resources – Lack of automation in a growing virtual environment Technical challenges and environment – Decommissioning unused virtual machines – Provisioning physical systems took up to 8 weeks Why VMware Lifecycle Manager? – Established a decommissioning process that has led to reclaiming more than $1 million dollars worth of capacity – Improved IT management efficiency with automation – 80% reduction in the time needed to automatically provision a virtual machine vs. a physical machine “In our major data centers, we’ve now decommissioned more machines than we have running. That represents a huge cost savings in capacity. If we had not had a good way of governing when a virtual machine was no longer being used, we probably would now have more than 1,000 extra virtual machines running.

22. Typical Lab Infrastructure is an IT Headache – Server sprawl – under desks, in closets – Aging, cast-off hardware – Dirty systems – inability to maintain “clean state” – Users and IT bogged down in provisioning requests *Actual customer photos

23. VMware Lab Manager: Automating Lab Infrastructure and Operations – Self Service Provisioning – Image Library of Virtual Machine Configurations – IT in Control of Policy and Quotas Setup, capture, storage and sharing of multi-VM configurations using a shared pool of resources

25. “VMware Lab Manager obsoletes many manual processes and lets us be more pro-active and innovative. I can't think of any other product, process or project that has had a greater impact in our daily activities. Everything just runs with little interference. Lab Manager will be key to the future success of software development in Avaya.” Jay M. Leone Lab Manager

27. Stage Manager Targets Release Management Risk of production downtime is reduced by splitting pre-production processes into discrete stages. Release Management Stages Homegrown or packaged application software Integration Assemble application components in the target environment Testing Verify successful integration of components Staging Perf. tuning and testing UAT User acceptance testing Production

28. TestingStagingUAT Integration Production Without Stage Manager Many shadow instances of the application for each stage. Leads to server sprawl, configuration drift, lack of coordination, and inability to implement changes accurately into production.

29. Resource Pool VMware Virtual Infrastructure TestingStagingUAT Integration Production With Stage Manager VMware Stage Manager Run IT service configurations as virtual machines. Streamline pre-production operations.

30. Resource Pool VMware Virtual Infrastructure TestingStagingUAT Integration Production Pushbutton Promotion Toward and Into Production VMware Stage Manager promote Effortless transition of IT service configurations between stages

31. Resource Pool VMware Virtual Infrastructure TestingStagingUAT Integration Production Cloning Production Systems for Use in Earlier Stages VMware Stage Manager archive clone Effortless transition of IT service configurations between stages

32. Stage Manager Is Organized Around IT Services Visualize release operations and release management.

33. “We have very strict IT process and regulatory compliance requirements. Rebuilding multi-tier application environments on the servers and networks associated with each phase of our release process takes days. Stage Manager allows us to quickly move entire application environments into production in compliance with our processes.” Tibor Borzak IT Manager

35. The Business Agility Dilemma > Speed of change > Scalability > Efficiency > Control > Predictability > Consistency Automation Yes, WE CAN

36. What It Means for You: Increased Agility and Significant ROI Reduced Capital Expenses – Optimize infrastructure resource utilization Reduced Operational Expenses – Eliminate administrative burden – Automate previously manual tasks – Improve compliance with IT/business policy – Reduce support/helpdesk costs from improved software quality Reduced Downtime Risk – Avoid loss of revenue from unplanned production downtime – Reduce cost of protecting applications Increased Responsiveness, Accelerated Time to Market – Respond quickly to requests for new or updated applications or services
