VMware Infrastructure 3 Overview

3

Single OS image per machine Software and hardware tightly coupled Running multiple applications on same

machine often creates conflict Underutilized, inflexible,

costly infrastructure

Without Virtualization

Break dependencies between OS and hardware

Manage OS and application as single unit by encapsulating them into VMs

Strong fault and security isolation VMs are hardware-independent:

they can be provisioned anywhere

With VMware Virtualization

How server virtualization transforms x86 systems

4

Anatomy of a virtual machine

Each Virtual Machine is a complete system encapsulated in a set of software files

Key features of VMware virtualization

Hardware Independence

Run a virtual machine on any server without modification

Partitioning

Run multiple virtual machines simultaneously on a single physical server

Isolation

Each virtual machine is isolated from other virtual machines

on the same server

Encapsulation

Virtual machines encapsulate entire systems (hardware configuration, operating system, apps) in files

Requirements for enterprise-class virtualization

• Virtualization of servers, storage and network• Not just servers, storage and network virtualization as well!

• Reliability, scale and performance• ESX Server at a customer site: 800 days continuous uptime!

• Interoperability and certification• Extensive certification, testing and interoperability

throughout the stack

• Support for enterprise workloads• Up to 16GB RAM and 4 virtual CPUs per VM

From single server partitioning to virtualization of entire infrastructure including servers, storage and networking

Live migration of virtual machines with VMotion

What is it?

• Live migration of virtual machines with VMware VMotion

Customer Impact

• Zero downtime maintenance

• Continuous service availability

• Complete transaction integrity

• Supported on Fibre Channel and iSCSI SAN and NAS

Over 70% of VMware customers have implemented VMotion

16

Resource pools

Customer Impact

• Failed server means fewer resources not a failed application

• Enables high availability across the infrastructure

• Provides service level assurance

• Dedicated (virtual) infrastructure for each business unit; central IT retains control over hardware

• Delegation of resource and virtual machine management down to the business unit

Aggregate collections of disparate hardware resources into unified logical resource pools

Resource optimization with VMware DRS

What is it?• Dynamic balancing of computing

resources across resource pools• Intelligent resource allocation

based on pre-defined rules

Customer Impact• Align IT resources with

business priorities • Operational simplicity;

dramatically increase system administrator productivity

• Add hardware dynamically to avoid over-provisioning to peak load

• Automate hardware maintenance

Dynamic and intelligent allocation of hardware resources to ensure optimal alignment between business and IT

Capacity on demand with VMware DRS

• Provisioning is “fire and forget”

• Easily add more capacity

• Avoid over-provisioning to peak load

1. Activate Maintenance Mode for physical host

2. DRS migrates running virtual machines to other hosts

Use VMotion to evacuate hosts

• Move running applications to other servers without disruption

• Perform maintenance at any time of day

Automate with DRS maintenance mode

• Automates moving virtual machines to other hosts

• Automates re-balancing after maintenance complete

NEW

• Shut down idle host and perform maintenance

• Restart host; DRS automatically rebalances workloads

New—Ensure high availability with VMware HA

What is it?• Automatic restart of virtual

machines in case of server failure

Customer Impact• Cost effective high availability

for all applications• No need for dedicated

stand-by hardware• None of the cost and

complexity of clustering

VMware HA enables cost-effective high availability for all applications

New—Protect data with VMware consolidated backup

What is it?

• Centralized agentless backup for virtual machines

• Move backup out of the virtual machine• Eliminate backup traffic on the local

area network

• Pre-integrated with major 3rd-party backup products

Customer Impact

• Perform backup in the middle of the day

Centralized file level backup enables easy & reliable data protection

VMware Infrastructure—Operational simplicity

• Broad-based, cost-effective application availability and business continuity

• VMware HA

• Ensured service levels

• Capacity on-demand and intelligent resource balancing

• Continuous uptime and non-disruptive maintenance of IT environments

• Live migration of entire running systems

• Instant provisioning and easy virtual machines management

• VirtualCenter
