VMware virtualization
VMware decouples software from hardware.
First Things First: Virtualization
4
Run several operating systems on a single machine.
Virtualization: Fundamentally Better
Create shared pools of resources to optimize your infrastructure.

Virtual Machines
ESX Server
ESX Server
Only third generation hypervisor
Production proven in more than 40,000 customer deployments
Unparalleled reliability: more than 1,000 says of uptime and counting
Virtualizes servers, storage and network
Runs multiple virtual machines on the same server

Application Performance Benefits – an example
Achieve 60,000 iops with ESX Server 3.5
Average across 15,000 Oracle databases is 1280 iops
• Average number is data collected from Capacity Planner which collects iops info throughout the day at regular sampling intervals
• 60,000 iops is equivalent to 60,000 Exchange users
9
Virtualization Platform Enhancements Paravirtualization
Enables Linux to run at higher perform-ance by making it virtualization-aware
Performance benefits seen for workloads such as large databases, multi-process apps
Paravirtualization is making the guest OS virtualization aware and more performant running on a hypervisor
VMware led successful industry collaboration effort to create a standard interface - paravirt ops - that allows standard Linux kernel (2.6.21) to be VMware virtualization aware
Ubuntu 7.04 now uses this interface

Paravirtualization Benefits
Paravirtualization benefits workloads when virtual machines are
Switching between several different execution threads
Executing network and disk i/o Large databases, multi-process
applications, file servers, web servers typically benefit from these improvements

Benefits memory intensive workloads such as databases, Java apps
12
Virtualization Platform Enhancements Network
Benefit network intensive workloads (e.g. backups over LAN, webservers, Citrix, Win Terminal Services, iSCSI) in virtual machines
TCP Segmentation Offload* reduces CPU overhead by streamlining TCP processing
Jumbo frames* allow reduced TCP/IP processing by enabling larger frame sizes
Support for 10 GigE for network intensive workloads**

ESX Server 3i
Server boot to running virtual machines in minutes
Simplified management
Increased security and reliability
Compact, 32MB footprint
Only architecture with no reliance on a general purpose OS
Integration in hardware eliminates installation
Intuitive wizard driven start up experience dramatically reduces deployment time
Standards-based management of the underlying hardware
15
From Server Boot to Running VMs in Minutes
1. Power on server and boot into hypervisor
2. Configure Admin Password
3. (optional) Modify network configuration
4. Connect VI Client to IP Address
Or manage with VirtualCenter
3i
16
Enabling the ‘Plug-and-Play’ Datacenter
Plug: Power on a new server with ESX Server 3i. The new server joins a DRS cluster.
Play: All VMs in the cluster are automatically rebalanced taking in consideration the newly available resources

Places unneeded servers in standby mode
Brings servers back online as workload needs increase
Minimizes power consumption while guaranteeing service levels
No disruption or downtime to virtual machines

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
• Shut down idle host and perform maintenance
• Restart host; DRS automatically rebalances workloads

25
Ensure High availability with VMware HA
What is it? Automatic restart of virtual machines
in case of server failureCustomer Impact Cost effective high availability for all
applications No need for dedicated stand-by

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
Pre-integrated with major 3rd-party backup products
Agentless file level backup
27
VMware Update Manager
Eliminates manual tracking of patch levels of ESX Server hosts and virtual machines
Automates enforcement of patch standards
Reduces risk through snapshots and offline virtual machine patching
* Note: RHEL guests can only be scanned, not remediated
Automates patch management for ESX Server hosts and select Microsoft and RHEL virtual machines
Scans and remedies online as well as offline virtual machines* and online ESX Server hosts
Snapshots virtual machines prior to patching and allows rollback to snapshot
