1 WHAT S NEW IN VSPHERE VirtualclientTechnology 2011 July

2 Agenda vsphere Platform Recap vsphere 5 Overview Infrastructure Services Compute, Storage, Network Applications Services Availability, Security, Scalability Additional Features and Enhancements The Best of the Rest vsphere 5 Kits and Editions vcenter Heartbeat 6.4

3 What is vsphere? Industry s Most Complete and Robust Virtualization Platform vsphere Provides: Infrastructure Services (Compute, Storage, Network) Application Services (Availability, Security, Scale, Performance) Management Services (Basic/Remote Management, Patching) What Does vsphere Solve for Customers? Streamlines IT Operations Provides a Powerful Disaster Recovery Strategy Supports Running Mission-Critical Applications Delivers the Most Flexible Building Block for Leveraging the Cloud

4 VMware vsphere : The Industry s Leading Virtualization Platform vcenter Server Host Profiles Linked Mode Orchestrator Update Mgr HA Application Services FT vmotion/s vmotion Data Recovery VMsafe APIs vshield Zones Hot Add # of Hosts, VMs Availability Security Scalability VMware vsphere 4.1 Compute Storage Network Infrastructure Services ESX/ESXi VMFS DRS/DPM Memory Overcommit Thin Provisioning Storage I/O Control Storage APIs Distributed Switch Network I/O Control

5 Introducing The Best Platform for Cloud Infrastructures

6 VMwarevSphere 5.0: What s New? vcenter Server Virtual Appliance Web Client New HA Application Services Architecture vmotion over higher latency links ESXi Firewall 32 way SMP 1 TB VMs Availability Security Scalability VMware vsphere 5 Compute Storage Network Infrastructure Services ESXi Convergence Auto Deploy HW version 8 Storage DRS Profile-Driven Storage VMFS 5 Storage I/O Control (NFS) Network I/O Control (per VM controls) Distributed Switch (Netflow, SPAN, LLDP)

7 Infrastructure Services Compute, Storage, Network

8 ESXi Convergence Most Trusted Overview vsphere 5.0 will utilize the ESXi hypervisor exclusively ESXi is the gold standard for hypervisors vsphere ESXi Benefits Thin architecture Smaller security footprint Streamlined deployment and configuration Simplified patching and updating model

9 Auto Deploy Overview vcenter Server with Auto Deploy Deploy and patch vsphere hosts in minutes using a new on the fly model Coordination with vsphere Host Profiles Image Profiles Host Profiles Benefits vsphere vsphere vsphere Rapid provisioning: initial deployment and patching of hosts Centralized host and image management Reduce manual deployment and patch processes

10 Storage DRS and Profile-Driven Storage Overview High IO Throughput Tier storage based on performance characteristics (i.e. datastore cluster) Simplify initial storage placement Load balance based on I/O Resource alignment with SLAs Benefits Tier 1 Tier 2 Tier 3 Eliminate VM downtime for storage maintenance Reduce time for storage planning/configuration Reduce errors in the selection and management of VM storage Increase storage utilization by optimizing placement

11 Performance Guarantees Network and Storage I/O Control 3. w/ 2. Other I/O controls, VMs can are give starved VIP VMs preferential for resources access 1. VM requests more resources Overview Set up SLAs for use of storage and network resources Added per virtual machine settings for Network I/O Control Added NFS support for Storage I/O Control Benefits Eliminate the noisy neighbor problem More granular SLA settings for network traffic Extend Storage SLAs to more VMs

12 New Virtual Machine Capabilities Richer Desktop Experience 3D graphics Broader Device Support Client-connected USB devices USB 3.0 Smart Card Readers Additional Enhancements Multi-core virtual CPUs (in GUI) Extended VMware tools compatibility Mac OS X server support

13 Application Services Availability, Security, and Scalability

14 Scaling Virtual Machines Overview Create virtual machines with up to: 32 vcpu 1 TB of RAM Benefits 4x 4x size of previous vsphere versions Run even the largest applications in vsphere, including very large databases Virtualize even more applications than ever before (Tier 1 and 2)

15 New HA Architecture Overview Storage vmotion New architecture for High Availability feature of vsphere VMware Fault Tolerance High Availability DRS Maintenance Mode vmotion NIC Teaming Multipathing VMware Benefits Storage Simplified clustering setup and configuration Server Enhanced reliability through better resource guarantees and monitoring Component Enhanced scalability

16 Additional Features and Enhancements

17 vcenter Server Appliance (Linux) Overview Run vcenter Server as a Linux-based appliance Benefits Simplified setup and configuration Enables deployment choices according to business needs or requirements Leverages vsphere availability features for protection of the management layer

18 Web Client Overview Run and manage vsphere from any web browser anywhere in the world Benefits Platform independence Replaces Web Access GUI Building block for cloud based administration

19 Platform Hardware Version 8 EFI virtual BIOS Network Distributed Switch (Netflow, SPAN support, LLDP) The Best of the Rest Network I/O Controls (per VM), ESXi firewall Storage VMFS 5 iscsi UI Storage I/O Control (NFS) Array Integration for Thin Provisioning Swap to SSD, 2TB+ VMFS datastores Storage vmotion Snapshot Support Availability vmotion with higher latency links Data Recovery Enhancements Management Inventory Extensibility Solution Installation and Management ipad client

20 VMware vsphere Essentials Kits for Small Business Benefits vsphere 5 Essentials For smaller environments Essentials Essentials + 1 Make better use of existing infrastructure 2 Save time in managing infrastructure with vcenter central management 3 Improve application availability with vmotion (no planned downtime) High Availability (business continuity) 4 Protect business data with VMware Data Recovery

21 Benefits VMware vsphere Enterprise Editions vsphere 5 Editions For larger environments Standard Enterprise Enterprise + 1 Consolidation and Availability Convert Physical System to Virtual Machines, Leverage Live Migration (vmotion), and Enable High Availability (HA) 2 Continuous Availability Fault Tolerance (FT) for Applications 3 4 Automated Resource Management Deliver Load Balancing (DRS), Power Management (DPM), and Live Storage Migration (Storage vmotion) without Manual Intervention Simplified Operations Advanced Networking (Distributed Network Switch, I/0 Control), Advanced Storage (Storage DRS, Profile-Driven Storage) and Host Deployment/Configuration (Auto Deploy, Host Profiles) for More OPEX Savings

22 VMware vcenter Heartbeat 6.4

23 vcenter Heartbeat What is it? High availability for vcenter Server What does it help protect against? What does it help protect against? Failures that occur with: Hardware, Networks, OS, Applications Loss of key vsphere features and functions if vcenter is unavailable

24 What s New in vcenter Heartbeat 6.4? Enhanced architecture allows the active and standby nodes to be reachable over the network at the same time, enabling both to be patched and managed Better integration with VMware vcenter Server: New Plug-in to the vsphere Client provides monitoring and management of vcenter Server Heartbeat from the vsphere Client Heartbeat events and alerts will register in vcenter and display in the vsphere Client Supports VMware vcenter Server v5.0 and VMware View Composer v5.0 Supports Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2

25 Selling vcenter Heartbeat Sold per instance $9,995 List Price One license protects both vcenter Server and its database (even if the database is installed on a different host). Qualifying opportunities Customers with vcenter Server Standard that are virtualizing mission critical workloads, running vcloud Director or running VMware View.
