6 Agenda Welcome (& Thanks!) What's Going On? Virtualization Can... Sun's Virtualization Technologies >V12N == Virtualization Building The Business Case Choosing V12N Technologies Best Practices & Guiding Principles 6

7 What's Going On In The Data Center? Demand explosion and Supply Limits Are Colliding... Deman d Users Service s Access Demand Users Services Access Power Costs Space Heat...and the data center is right in the middle! 7

8 Some Astounding Statistics US DC s server count grew from 5.6M -> 10.3M from , expected to reach 41M by 2010 (a 700% increase in just 15 years) Edge-compute devices are expected to grow at 5-10x PCs through 2009 Today s average server requires 4x the power 10 years ago Power consumption/costs in DC's doubled from ~30% of IT operating budgets are applied to electrical costs. 80% of Global DCs are constrained in the areas of power, cooling and/or floorspace Constructing a new DC costs approx. $1000/ft 2. This equates to ~$40000 per rack, or ~$2400 for a typical server 8

9 What Customers Are Telling Us Power and cooling constraints are very real issues Energy costs are draining the bottom line Disaster recovery planning is non-negotiable Sprawling IT infrastructure is increasingly hard to manage Ability to deploy new services is critical to remain competitive Underutilized, inefficient systems are limiting business growth 9

10 The Data Center Today sprawl is hard to manage Single application per server App Serve r Mail Serve r Service Databas e Databas e Application OS Storage Data Center Management App Serve r NETWORK Average server utilization between 5 to 15 % NETWORK Developer Client 10

11 Virtualize Everywhere! Priority 1: Maximize system resources across entire Data Center Web ERP App App Mail CRM ERP Database Database Service Application OS Priority 2: Provide DR2 capabilities Storage Data Center Management Network Priority 2: Quickly (re)deploy new applications Developer Client 11

12 Huge Opportunities for Virtualization Across the Infrastructure Network Application/ Storage 12

13 Enterprise V12N Value Prop RETURN ON ASSETS (ROA) Increase profit. Improved margins through lower costs. Grow market share through business agility and improved speed to market Decrease cash in escrow by reducing risk associated w/ regulatory compliance OPERATIONAL IMPROVEMENT Improved, consistent end-user experience through Standard Operating Environments (SOEs) Reduced cycle times for implementation of new functions/features Reduced transition costs through reduced IT cost and common platforms TOTAL COST OF OWNERSHIP (TCO) Improved governance and regulatory compliance Always on IT (Improved reliability, manageability, predictability Maximize IT usage (improved utilization of IT assets; improved scalability, lower HW, SW licensing, maintenance and support cost) 13

14 Virtualization can... Reduce cost > Software licensing > System maintenance > Improved Utilization > Lower Acquisition costs Be eco-responsible > Facilities (Floor space, power, cooling) Improve Manageability > Standardization > Reduce complexity > Increase flexibility > Automation Deliver predictable service levels > Availability > Security > Disaster recovery 14

15 Virtualization can...
