16 VMware Infrastructure Key Solutions / Use Cases Server Consolidation and Containment Eliminate server sprawl by deploying systems into virtual machines Infrastructure Provisioning Reduce the time for provisioning new infrastructure to minutes with sophisticated automation capabilities. Business Continuity Reduce the cost and complexity of business continuity by encapsulating entire systems files that can be replicated and restored onto any target server Test and Development Rapidly provision and re-provision test and development servers; store libraries of pre-configured test machines Enterprise Desktop Secure unmanaged PCs. Alternatively, provide standardized enterprise desktop environments hosted on servers. Legacy Application Re-hosting Migrate legacy operating systems and software applications to virtual machines running on new hardware for better reliability

17 Solving the Problem VMware Infrastructure provides a managed approach to regain control over serve sprawl VMware customers have consolidated ~1 mln servers to date Benefits: Reduce hardware costs up to 30-50% Reduce operations costs up to 70-80% Reduce complexity Deploy new services efficiently

18 Problem: Solution: Case Study UK Telco >1500 servers in 350 rack spaces in 5 data centers Heat, Cooling, Power Issues Old Servers NT4 & Proprietary Apps no Backup. No Flexibility of IT Virtualized & Consolidated using VMware Software & HP Hardware 10:1 Consolidation Ratio 168 x BL45p, all running VMware Run NT4 etc on brand new hardware back up the Virtual Machine 350 racks consolidated to 35 racks in 3 data centers. Network ports reduced from 4509 to 504 $1.2m/year cost savings Est power costs reduced from 800,000 to 44,000 Project Payback: 7.7 months

20 Example Before From hrs to build a server and reload application 1. Build and configure hardware 2. Load operating system 3. Load configuration tools (Backup, Resource Kit, Monitoring, etc ) 4. Assign 2 IP addresses 5. Build 3 network connections, copper or fiber 6. Turn over to applications team to reload and re-configure software 7. Test applications 8. Coordinate outage / data migration To min to copy a virtual machine and restart 1. Redirect virtual disk to new VMware virtual machine instance [Tools already loaded] [Application already loaded, configured] 2. Done After 333 servers replaced per year appr. 10,000 man/hrs saved

22 High Availability/Disaster Recovery Every year, one out of 500 data centers will experience a severe disaster (McGladrey and Pullen) 43% of companies experiencing disasters never re-open, and 29% close within two years (McGladrey and Pullen) 93% of business that lost their data center for 10 days went bankrupt within one year (National Archives & Records Administration) Disaster Recovery is a focus of executive management

23 Disaster Recovery & Downtime The Facts Impact of Downtime 60% of businesses in WTC went out of business within 2 years as they had no business continuity plans 20% of all SME s suffer a major disaster every 5 years Average Downtime costs per hour by vertical Broker Operations $ 6,500,000 Banking Centers $ 2,500,000 Retail $ 140,000 Manufacturing $ 28,000 Other $ 82,500 From report by Institute of Internal Auditors 2004

24 VMware Response to Various Outage Types 63% of VMware customers use VMware Infrastructure for business continuity Outage Type Unplanned OS/app failure Unplanned server HW or OS/app failure Planned OS or app Unplanned NIC failure Unplanned storage path failure User deletes critical files Unplanned storage Unplanned server Performance Bottleneck Planned server, component or ESX Server OS upgrade Unplanned site VMware Technology Response SDK monitoring and restart of VM In-VM cluster support In-VM cluster support NIC teaming Storage multipathing VMware Consolidated Backup (file level) VMware Consolidated Backup (image level) VMware HA Distributed Resource Scheduler, Resource Groups, Dynamic reallocation of shares, VMotion Distributed Resource Scheduler maintenance mode, VMotion Enabled by HW independence, encapsulation and either Third party replication VMware Consolidated Backup (image level)

26 Key Issues in Test and Development Cost Limited hardware budgets High personnel costs Increasing diversity of target environments Efficiency Ever-increasing hardware requirements Single application per server causes server sprawl Flexibility Difficult handoffs between developers and testers Rapid deployment is elusive High rates of configuration change

28 Virtual Desktop Infrastructure Virtual Desktop Infrastructure enables enterprises to host desktop virtual machines in their data center on VMware software and provide users access from a PC or thin client using a remote display protocol. Users: Virtual Desktop Infrastructure Outsourced call centers Offshore developers Branch office consolidation Desktop disaster recovery Value: Central management, increased security, strong user isolation Products: Virtual Desktop Infrastructure

29 Virtual Desktop Infrastructure The Challenge Prudential UK needed to provide 850 employees at its new Mumbai center with the complete Prudential desktop comprised of more than 100 applications needed to service customers Without a means to host our existing standard desktop in the UK, we would not have been able to provide remote access to our Mumbai employees in such a short space of time, and VMware server virtualization proved to be the most flexible and cost effective approach. Andy Ruby Manager of Infrastructure Design Prudential UK The VMware Solution ESX Server enabled Prudential UK to run its standard desktop remotely without rewriting any of its applications Implemented in less than six months Substantial cost savings All IT management is done at headquarters in Reading Allowed company to extend remote access to third parties and home workers Improved customer service
