Agenda
Where is Hardware Going
Where is Software Going
Connecting Computing Clouds
Where is hardware going?
x86 continues to move upstream
Massive compute power available
Power usage grows even more critical
Highly-connected compute, networking, and storage
Emergence of high-speed, shared interconnects
Shared storage becomes less expensive and more pervasive
Networking and storage riding x86 improvement curve
VMware transforms powerful, disparate hardware into Virtual Infrastructure

Hypervisor Platform Direction
In a phase of tremendous innovation driven by:
Proliferation of cores and potential inefficiencies Intel and AMD launches make 16+ core systems
Technology allows more workloads for virtualization 2nd generation CPU and memory HW assist, I/O acceleration, Paravirtualization
Rapidly growing move to pervasive, mission-critical use Requires huge focus on reliability and manageability
Thin architectureUnparalleled security and reliability
Compact 32MB footprintOnly OS-independent design focused on virtualizationIntegrated in server systems
ESX Server 3i Brings Plug-and-Play Resources

VMware Infrastructure Vision
Moves functionality traditionally considered “management” into the infrastructure
Any application gains the benefits, just by virtue of being in a VM
Provides new reasons to go virtual

Agenda
Where is Hardware Going
Where is Software Going
Connecting Computing Clouds
Virtualization Has Simplified Software
Easier to develop and test
Easier to deploy
Easier to protect
Virtual appliances have taken this even further

FIREWALLVirtual Appliance
Where is software going?
More diversity in OS and application use
Simultaneous use of Linux, Solaris, and Windows farms
Customized open source stacks and diverse versions/distributions
Services becoming disaggregated and distributed
SOA leads to many more components in use
SaaS and hosted computing options growing
Management task becomes even more difficult
Need a way to normalize management approach
Can’t stifle software progress along the way
Provisioning, Backup, Load Balancing, DR, …

Process Process Process
The same process must be executed differently depending on the hardware, OS, or application environment
Software’s Growing Management Complexity
A logical IT Service provided as a collection of VMsApplication and Infrastructure VMs
Logical network connections
Managed as a single-unitTreated as one entity (provisioning, backup)
The right view for managing & achieving SLAs

Complex application stacks become standardized software containers
With common processes for management
Agenda
Where is Hardware Going
Where is Software Going
Connecting Computing Clouds
VMware enables a local datacenter “cloud”
On-demand capacity via DRS
Self-healing and tolerant of hardware failures
Applications seamlessly move between resources
VMware enables hosting providers offer better services
Hosted/SaaS offerings can be standard x86 applications
On-demand capacity even more critical
Offer customers add-on services of backup, DR, and security
VMware’s Role in “Cloud Computing”
VM and vService mobility goes even further
Compute-, Network-, and Storage-VMotion
Extending from the LAN to Wide-Area-Networks
Manage vServices independently of where they run
vService includes full state and infrastructure instructions
Just as VMs separate software from hardware, vServices separate software and software management from the hardware
Next Phase: Connecting the Datacenter Clouds
Extends Virtual Infrastructure beyond a single datacenter
Use secondary DR site for workload overflow
Leverage other departments’/LOBs’ resources
Rent resources from hosters when appropriate
All while maintaining the IT Service SLA
Next Phase: Connecting the Datacenter Clouds

Summary
Virtual Infrastructure aggregates hardware into flexible resource pools and creates a truly virtual datacenter
Virtualization simplifies software management, and vServices extend this even further
Building upon VM mobility, virtual infrastructure, enables effective use of resources that are local or remote, owned or rented
