VMFS VMFS VMFSVMFS

VMFS

VMotion technology lets you move live, running virtual machines from one host to another while maintaining

continuous service availability.

| Continuous Optimization | Fast Reconfiguration || Zero-Downtime Maintenance |

VMotion™ Technology Changes The Game


VMware DRS

Align IT resources with business priorities

Dynamically allocate resource to virtual machines.

Dramatically increase system administrator productivity

Enable system administrators to manage more resources

Automate hardware maintenance

Maintenance mode automatically migrates all virtual machines to other physical servers.

Dynamic and intelligent allocation of hardware resources to VMs

Resource Pool


VMware HACost effective high availability for all servers

Resource Pool

X

Losing a host in a cluster means fewer resources, not lost virtual machines

Impacted virtual machines are restarted on remaining hosts

Placement optimized by global scheduler

VirtualCenter handles all setup and configuration automatically

None of the cost and complexity of clustering


VMware Consolidated Backup

Move backup out of the virtual machine

A single agent running on the proxy server rather than an agent on every virtual machine.

Eliminate backup traffic on the

local area network Utilize Fibre Channel tape devices for virtual machine backups

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

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
