State of Virtualization

Source: IDC

Server virtualization is now considered a mainstream technology among IT buyers

IT professionals are very bullish on future use• 22% servers virtualized today with 45% in 12 months

Core infrastructure and data center strategies are being turned upside down!

Virtualization product expectations are climbing quickly ... but satisfaction is very high!

Virtualization impacts more than servers

• Storage, networks, clients, management, security, etc.

Virtualization from Oracle Today

Oracle is the only vendor to

provide an integrated “full-

stack” management solution

• Virtualization and enterprise

workloads managed together

• Management solution for

private- and public cloud

providers

End-to-end provisioning and

management of enterprise

application workloads

• From bare-metal provisioning of

physical servers to guest

creation, deployment, &

management

• Virtual appliances with Oracle

IT Implications: What’s Different about Cloud?

Users expect a cloud infrastructure to support*:

1. The illusion of infinite computing resources available on-

demand

- Capacity always needs to be there through automation and

proactive operations before users perceive a constraint (“infinite”)

- Users need to be able to self-serve (“on-demand”)

2. The elimination of up-front commitment by users

- Fine-grained, actual usage/allocation-based chargeback rather

than purchase ahead of time (“no up front commitment”)

3. The ability to pay for use of computing resources on a short-

term, as-needed basis

- Dynamic capacity management scale up or down (“short-term /

no commitment”)

And all of the above needs to be cost-effective

Implications for Architects

• How to add necessary qualities to architectures that weren’t initially designed for them?

• Virtualization

• Abstraction

• Incremental scaling

• Chargeback

• Can this be done as part of normal operations?

• Or as the foundation of a next generation architecture?

• Which applications and systems are a good fit?

• How to incent business stakeholders to trust shared environments?

• To what extent of your infrastructure does this apply?
