What is going on out there?
InventoryOver 25% of the infrastructure is old
Up to 50% is Test/Dev/Rogue
Most servers have 2 processors
Most clients’ Inventory reports are missing 20 to 50% of their servers
Typical Server supports one primary application
Capacity UsageTypical Server is running @ 4.5% processor utilization
RAM Utilization is about 60%
Disk and Network throughput utilization is below 1%

DR Pain Points
Lack of a reliable disaster recovery plan
27-30% of business have no disaster recovery plan (VMworld, Imation)
Inability to meet RTO and RPO requirements with current plan
Business needs and/or regulatory needs
Need to improve RTO from days to minutes or hours
Need to improve RPO from 24 hours to 1 hour or less
Expense related to hardware at remote site
Idle hardware at recovery site (capital cost)
Need to maintain system and application images at secondary site (operational cost)
Unable to instantly repurpose machines at the secondary site (RTO impact)
The Answers: VMware Site Recovery Manager
What it is:
A new VMware DR Workflow Automation product
What it does:
Simplifies DR, lowers cost, and increases reliability
Integrating VI3 with storage replication
Making DR protection a property of the VM
Allowing you to pre-program your disaster response

Production
Home-Users / Remote Workers– Create an IT managed “virtual laptop” to deploy to remote workers and manage with enterprise tools. Apply lifecycle, device, and networking policies
3rd Party Unmanaged PCs – Network connectivity, application performance, or cost prevent using a server-based solution. ACE allows IT to manage these hostile PCs as if they were on the domain while securing IP and sensitive data.
Training & Education –Allow students to access applications and data in secure, isolated virtual machines. Less hardware needed in classroom, minimal time required to prepare for a new class, and students always start from a “clean” state
Activity Partitions - Provide end-users with an isolated, secure environment for accessing corporate resources, while providing another more open, configurable environment that requires less control.
VMware ACE Use Cases

Outsourcing/ Offshoring
Desktop Consolidation
Secure corporate assets within your own data centers while providing controlled access to external transaction workers
Consolidate, standardize and centrally manage desktops distributed across the enterprise (incl. branches) within corporate data centers
Disaster Recovery
Alternative Workspaces In the event of a pandemic outbreak, ensure alternative, remote
access to complete desktop environments and resources for users safely located away from infected areas
Ensure desktop continuity by redirecting user access to alternate desktop infrastructure while helping quickly and reliably recover desktops and data in the main data center

QA Professional in Singapore has discovered a bug.
QA user selects “Capture to Library” on current configuration
Lab Manager (1) enforces access control and quota policies (2) suspends all VMs (3) Captures “net new” library entry and generates LiveLink URL.
QA professional pastes LiveLink URL in bug report and resumes testing.Developer can then reproduce environment (and bug) on demand by clicking URL in bug report.
