VMware Infrastructure 3 Overview
3
Single OS image per machine Software and hardware tightly coupled Running multiple applications on same
machine often creates conflict Underutilized, inflexible,
costly infrastructure
Without Virtualization
Break dependencies between OS and hardware
Manage OS and application as single unit by encapsulating them into VMs
Strong fault and security isolation VMs are hardware-independent:
they can be provisioned anywhere
With VMware Virtualization
How server virtualization transforms x86 systems
4
Anatomy of a virtual machine
Each Virtual Machine is a complete system encapsulated in a set of software files

5
Key features of VMware virtualization
Hardware Independence
Run a virtual machine on any server without modification
Partitioning
Run multiple virtual machines simultaneously on a single physical server
Isolation
Each virtual machine is isolated from other virtual machines
on the same server
Encapsulation
Virtual machines encapsulate entire systems (hardware configuration, operating system, apps) in files

Requirements for enterprise-class virtualization
• Virtualization of servers, storage and network• Not just servers, storage and network virtualization as well!
• Reliability, scale and performance• ESX Server at a customer site: 800 days continuous uptime!
• Interoperability and certification• Extensive certification, testing and interoperability
throughout the stack
• Support for enterprise workloads• Up to 16GB RAM and 4 virtual CPUs per VM
From single server partitioning to virtualization of entire infrastructure including servers, storage and networking

Live migration of virtual machines with VMotion
What is it?
• Live migration of virtual machines with VMware VMotion
Customer Impact
• Zero downtime maintenance
• Continuous service availability
• Complete transaction integrity
• Supported on Fibre Channel and iSCSI SAN and NAS
Over 70% of VMware customers have implemented VMotion
16
Resource pools
Customer Impact
• Failed server means fewer resources not a failed application
• Enables high availability across the infrastructure
• Provides service level assurance
• Dedicated (virtual) infrastructure for each business unit; central IT retains control over hardware
• Delegation of resource and virtual machine management down to the business unit
Aggregate collections of disparate hardware resources into unified logical resource pools
Servers, Storage, Networking

Resource optimization with VMware DRS
What is it?• Dynamic balancing of computing
resources across resource pools• Intelligent resource allocation
based on pre-defined rules
Customer Impact• Align IT resources with
business priorities • Operational simplicity;
dramatically increase system administrator productivity
• Add hardware dynamically to avoid over-provisioning to peak load
• Automate hardware maintenance
Dynamic and intelligent allocation of hardware resources to ensure optimal alignment between business and IT

Capacity on demand with VMware DRS
• Provisioning is “fire and forget”
• Easily add more capacity
• Avoid over-provisioning to peak load
Add hardware dynamically

1. Activate Maintenance Mode for physical host
2. DRS migrates running virtual machines to other hosts
Use VMotion to evacuate hosts
• Move running applications 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
NEW
• Shut down idle host and perform maintenance
• Restart host; DRS automatically rebalances workloads

New—Ensure high availability with VMware HA
What is it?• Automatic restart of virtual
machines in case of server failure
Customer Impact• Cost effective high availability
for all applications• No need for dedicated
stand-by hardware• None of the cost and
complexity of clustering
VMware HA enables cost-effective high availability for all applications

New—Protect data with VMware consolidated backup
What is it?
• Centralized agentless backup for virtual machines
• Move backup out of the virtual machine• Eliminate backup traffic on the local
area network
• Pre-integrated with major 3rd-party backup products
Customer Impact
• Perform backup in the middle of the day
Centralized file level backup enables easy & reliable data protection

VMware Infrastructure—Operational simplicity
• Broad-based, cost-effective application availability and business continuity
• VMware HA
• Ensured service levels
• Capacity on-demand and intelligent resource balancing
• Continuous uptime and non-disruptive maintenance of IT environments
• Live migration of entire running systems
• Instant provisioning and easy virtual machines management
• VirtualCenter
