Virtualization breaks the fixed connection between software and the underlying hardware

Virtualization cuts the dependencies between different layers

This enables a more flexible control of hardware and software resources

Virtualization enables the freedom to change resources without the restrictions of layers

Resources such as hardware or software can be pooled

Virtualization allows efficient use of resource pools and to decrease the numbers of spare components

What is Virtualization?


Increases efficiency Better utilized hardware reduces the number of physical systems Equipment and capital cost saving for less hardware Lower costs for space, energy and cooling in the data center infrastructure Centralized server & storage management reduces the total cost of ownership Improved capacity utilization

Increases flexibility Flexible use of resources Faster deployment of (new) applications Easy transportation of virtual instances to other platforms

Raises quality of service Less scheduled and unplanned downtime Balancing of workload between systems Performance requirements solved on demand

Why take virtualized IT architecture into consideration ?


Many IT areas can be virtualized Application virtualization OS virtualization Client virtualization Server virtualization I/O virtualization Network virtualization Storage virtualization

Increased uncertainty about What is the right virtualization type for me? Which technologies can be combined? How can a virtualized infrastructure be managed ? What are the logical steps How to operate a virtualized environment ?

What levels can be virtualized ?


Planning - transport your business needs into infrastructure architecture

Consider application restrictions

Planning of backup and recovery Backup traffic and timeframe – restore execution Real benefits through integration of feature sets from other hardware

Set up optimal infrastructure components - homogenous, right server, storage, network …

End to end consideration – consider client, server, storage, network, application

Note political sensibilities

Beware of rules of operational concepts from the real world

Improve automation processes to avoid human errors

Enable controlled flexibility

Stop the rampant growth of new virtual machines

With the experience gained in many projects we will lead you safely through the virtualization jungle

What to consider when starting a virtualization project


Situation: Space problems in the data center High costs for energy and cooling Higher requirement for reliability, better SLA’s Shorter time to realize new business needs Reduce operational work

Execution project: Planning and consulting the virtualization architecture 50 PRIMERGY Blade Servers with VMware ESX

substitutes 1000 server Migration of real servers to virtualized servers Integration into existing IT landscape

Customer benefits: Savings of 2 million kW/h per year (~ €200k) Significant amount of free floor space Improved quality of service Better provision of new services

Server Virtualization realized at Hypo Vereinsbank


Hypervisors enable significantly more server

instances on existing real hardware

Reduce complexity in a physical environment,

but create a new one at the virtual level

Compatibility or support problems with

applications

Complex combinations – different hypervisors,

different operating systems

Explosion in virtual server instances

Different management for virtual and real

resources

Complexity gain


Virtualization is not only one vendor or product Other hypervisor vendors are entering the market Each product addresses different scenarios Customers can select the most suitable product for their individual

needs

Virtualization is not limited to x86 servers Storage, Applications and Clients can be virtualized too

An IT Infrastructure cannot be 100% virtualized The reality is a common dynamic architecture The challenge is to combine and manage all technologies

Virtualization is not just one vendor


Skills to cope with technologies

Evaluation of technologies, finding the right mix

Integrate the right partner technologies

Integrate hardware, virtualization technologies, middleware, applications

Adjustment of functions for customer needs

Operate and maintain overall solution

We consult our customers when realizing a virtualization project

How can we support you in realizing your virtualization project?


FlexFrame for SAP and for Oracle delivers a complete virtualized infrastructure for SAP and Oracle environments

An SAP / Oracle service can be started onany server in a FlexFrame server pool

Benefits Fast integration of new or additional servers, fast exchange of servers In case of system failure the service is re-started on another system automatically Increases flexibility and quality of service for SAP and Oracle infrastructures More than 30 % and up to 60% TCO cost savings

This solution specifically works for Oracle or SAP environments

CentricStor introduces a virtualization layer between servers and tape libraries Consolidation of libraries, tapes and

backup software Support of two data centers through

CentricStor Grid Architecture Support of a large variety of tape systems,

servers, mainframes and backup software

Benefits Single point of backup Changes on server side have no impact

on the tape side – and vice versa Reduced backup timeframes Improved restore - reduce downtime Number of libraries and tapes decrease by

better utilization

Virtualization has an impact at all layers of the IT infrastructure to server, storage and networks

To guarantee a smooth data center operation we offer an end-to-end service that fits the customer’s individual needs

With complete solutions and integration services we support our customers to build a virtualized IT infrastructure

Operating a virtualized IT has many challenges especially regarding available skills – we offer these service skills

With Managed Data Center Service we take over the responsibility for the operation of the complete virtualization stack

Services for virtualized environments


With 100’s of installations of virtualization solutions our customers have optimized their IT

Managed services for these solutions further raise the efficiency of operations

The next efficiency gain can be achieved by sharing a central infrastructure between many companies Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
