What Keeps You Up At Night
How do I maintain or improve desktop management when I’m required to do more with less?
with diverse end-user requirements managing the variety of end point devices
has become an overwhelming and expensive task
I spend a lot of time on desktop
support calls.But I really need to focus on
strategic IT initiatives that really add value.
It is difficult to respond quicklywhen employees are mobile and scattered across the world.
Windows 7 is here,I need to prepare for it!
Information and data is our most important asset.
We spend too much time recovering lost data from stolen laptops.
What about the cost of managing your desktops?
I feel like I’m constantly patching and
upgrading applications and OS images

vSphere 4.1 – Key New Features
29
vSphere 4.1 – Storage I/O Control
Description Benefits
• Basic - Make storage access rights equal between VMs
• Advanced - Prioritize use of storage (similar to how compute is prioritized with vSphere) per VM
• Business priorities now define low and high priority storage resource access
• Create the “high speed” or HOV lane for VMs
Set storage quality of
service priorities per
virtual machine
Beta Feedback“I really feel that the Storage I/O
Control is a must have for our
environment and we should move
forward without delay.”

vSphere 4.1 – Additional New Features
Feature Name Description Benefit
Virtual Serial Port Concentrator (VSPC)
Connect over the network via the serial port concentrator to the serial port console on any server. VMware will thus enable two different ways to provide this level of management with this feature.
•Management efficiencies•Lower costs for multi-hostmanagement•Enables 3rd party concentrator integration if required
vStorage API for Array Integration (VAAI)
New protocol interfaces between VMware and storage arrays. These APIs mean leverage of array-based functionality for the first time in areas such as LUN provisioning or snapshots.
•vSphere platform integration•Eliminate redundancy•Enhance Performance
• Storage vMotion• Provisioning VMs• Thin Provisioning• VMFS
43
vStorage APIs for Array Integration (VAAI)
Improves performance by leveraging efficient array-based operations as an alternative to VMware host-based solutions
Three Primitives include :
1. Full Copy – Xcopy like function to offload work to the array
2. Block Zeroing - Speeds up zeroing out of blocks or writing repeated content
3. Hardware Assisted Locking – Alternate means to locking the entire LUN
Helping function such as:
• Storage vMotion
• Provisioning virtual machines from Template
• Improves thin provisioning disk performance
• VMFS share storage pool scalability
• Requires firmware from Storage Vendors
• Supports block based storage only in the 4.1 release
44
VM Provisioning from Template with Full Copy
Benefits• Reduce installation time• Standardize to ensure efficient
management, protection & control
Challenges• Requires a full data copy• 100 GB template (10 GB to copy): 5-20 minutes• FT requires additional zeroing of blocks
Improved Solution• Use array’s native copy/clone & zeroing functions• Up to 10-20x speedup in provisioning time
45
Storage vMotion with Array Full Copy Function
Benefits
• Zero-downtime migration• Eases array maintenance, tiering, load balancing, upgrades, space
mgmt
Challenges• Performance impact on host, array, network• Long migration time (0.5 - 2.5 hrs for 100GB VM)• Best practice: use infrequently
Improved solution• Use array’s native copy/clone functionality
46
VAAI Speeds Up Storage vMotion - Example
42:27 - 39:12 =
2 Min 21 sec w/out
(141 seconds)
33:04 - 32:37 =
27 Sec with VAAI
141 sec vs. 27 sec
