2 Description How Virtualization Complements New-Generation HardwareAuthor:Mike Bookey (VMware)Paper Abstract:Extensive 'scale-out' and multi-tier application architectures are becoming increasingly common, and the adoption of smaller form-factor blade servers is growing dramatically. Since the transition to blade architectures is generally driven by a desire for physical consolidation of IT resources, virtualization is an ideal complement for blade servers, delivering benefits such as resource optimization, operational efficiency and rapid provisioning. The latest generation of x86-based systems feature processors with 64-bit extensions supporting very large memory capacities. This enhances their ability to host large, memory-intensive applications, as well as allowing many more virtual machines to be hosted by a physical server deployed within a virtual infrastructure. The continual decrease in memory costs will further accelerate this trend. Likewise, the forthcoming dual-core processor technology significantly benefits IT organizations by dramatically lowering the costs of increased performance. Compared to traditional single-core systems, systems utilizing dual-core processors will be less expensive, since only half the number of sockets will be required for the same number of CPUs. By significantly lowering the cost of multi-processor systems, dual-core technology will accelerate data center consolidation and virtual infrastructure projects, Beyond these enhancements, virtualisation software providers are working closely with both Intel and AMD to ensure that new processor technology features are exploited by virtual infrastructure to the fullest extent. In particular, the new virtualization hardware assist enhancements (Intel and AMD s Pacifica) will enable robust virtualization of the CPU functionality. Such hardware virtualization support does not replace virtual infrastructure, but allows it to run more efficiently. 3 VMware at a Glance Founded Total Employees Number of Users Key Partnerships # Channel Partners Customer Profile Operating Structure 1998 ~ 2, Million AMD, Dell, HP, IBM, Intel 3, ,000 Enterprise Customers 99 of the Fortune 100 Independent EMC Subsidiary 4 2

5 Three Key Properties of Virtualization Partitioning Run multiple operating systems on one physical machine Fully utilize server resources Support high availability as shared data is cluster-ready for failover and redundancy Isolation Isolate faults and security at the hardware level Dynamically control CPU, memory, disk and network resources per virtual machine Guarantee service levels Encapsulation Encapsulate the entire state of the virtual machine in hardware-independent files Save the virtual machine state as a snapshot in time Re-use or transfer whole virtual machines with a simple file copy 9 VMware Infrastructure Key Solutions 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 standardised 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 10 5
