4. How We Started this Virtual Reality… Our Initial build Our Current build Foresight is always key Key Components

5. Keys to A Successful Virtualization Project 1. Policy Guidelines 2. Automate 3. Monitoring 4. Compliance 5. Goals

6. BEST PRACTICES To mention just a few…. 1. DO NOT severely over commit on memory or CPU. 2. Do not use multiple CPU’s if application is single threaded 3. HA-DRS clustering 4. Snapshot – Don’t be confused by the name 5. Always monitor your environment proactively. 6. Always keep your templates updated.

7. Physical to Virtual Successfully implementing a P2V standard. Developing a Methodology Top Hurdles to overcome with a P2V project

10. VMWare ELA OVERVIEW What is it? Who does it benefit? Assisting Agencies in going “GREEN”

11. Citywide – Cost Savings with VMware ELA  VMware 5 year ELA (12/08) - $9.5M through DoITT  Unlimited Deployment  vSphere Enterprise, vCenter, Lifecycle, Lab and Site recovery manager  Capped Deployment  Virtual Desktop (View premier) – 10,000 users  Two onsite resident engineers  Additional professional services – Consulting, Integration and Training  Platinum support for all existing and new licenses for ELA term  Cost savings off NYS pricing for allocated licenses  $7,400,000 (in first 9 months of 5 year agreement)

12. DoITT – Additional ROI with VMware in 2008/ 2009 Citywide Clusters (838 vm’s) 2008/2009  Hardware (new server growth):$ 5,028,000  Power and Cooling for new server growth: $ 951,668 Total Cost Avoidance:$ 5,979,668 Green facts: Power and Cooling Savings (kWh) 5,530,800 CO2 Emissions (metric tons of CO2) 3,674 Equivalent Number of Cars off the Road: 1,257 Equivalent Number of Trees Planted: 16,760

13. KEYS & NEXT STEPS Page 13 Top-down sponsorship Treat virtualization as an architectural decision Design for the big picture—deploy incrementally Achieve and maintain stakeholder buy- in Form a core virtualization team (Center of Excellence)
