Real life use cases

• Video streaming for LHC First Beam Day 6 virtual machines needed for ~1 week

• Terminal Servers for Engineering Apps• Oracle Application servers• CERN Media Archive• CERN Alerter web server

Physical server with 2xCPU, 4GB RAM Upgrade necessary because of OS driver

issue Virtual server set up “on demand” Resources limited to 1xCPU, 2 GB RAM

• Etc, etc. 9

What’s next

• IT-IS group Install more hardware to satisfy the demand

• Hypervisor 2.0 in Windows 2008 R2 Enhanced support for Linux Further performance improvements High availability (live migration, failover) Power efficiency (core parking) Easier management Expected later this year, RC1 since May’09

Summary

• Easy to use self-service• Service in production since 2006• Latest edition based on Hyper-V

Improved performance Efficient resource allocation Flexibility of hardware provisioning Ease of management

Web interface, SOAP, SCVMM Integration with IT services

Network database, update distribution, backups, etc. High-availability model adapted

to customer requirements11
