4 RED HAT ENTERPRISE VIRTUALIZATION HYPERVISOR/KVM OVERVIEW SMALL-FORM FACTOR, SCALABLE, HIGH PERFORMANCE HYPERVISOR BASED ON RED HAT ENTERPRISE LINUX Inherits performance, scalability, security, and supportability of Red Hat Enterprise Linux Shares Red Hat Enterprise Linux hardware and software ecosystem Host: 160 logical CPU (4,096 theoretical max), 2TB RAM (64TB theoretical max) Guest: 160 vcpu, 2TB RAM Supports latest silicon virtualization technology Microsoft certified for Windows guests Designed for large scale (500+ hosts and 5,000+ VMs) Administrative interfaces include: GUI, RESTful API with session support, Linux CLI, Python SDK

5 RED HAT ENTERPRISE VIRTUALIZATION MANAGER FEATURES High availability Live migration Storage live migration Live snapshots Load balancing (DRS) Power saver (DPM) Hot-plug disk and NIC Storage on local disk, FC, iscsi, NFS, Red Hat Storage Server, IBM GPFS, POSIX or Direct LUN Self-service portal with quotas Integrated Red Hat Storage Server management* Eco-system marketplace Third-party UI plugin support *Technology preview

6 RED HAT ENTERPRISE VIRTUALIZATION USER PORTAL Enables users to self-provision VMs Create, edit, or remove VMs Manage and monitor virtual infrastructure Tied to Microsoft Active Directory, Red Hat Identity Management, other LDAP Resource management with quotas and object/role security Essential internal cloud capability

7 ADVANCED SECURITY FOR YOUR VIRTUALIZATION INFRASTRUCTURE Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization inherits the security features of Linux and Red Hat Enterprise Linux Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 has achieved Common Criteria Certification at Evaluation Assurance Level (EAL) 4+ SELinux security policy infrastructure Provides protection and isolation for VMs and host Compromised VM cannot access other VMs or host svirt project Sub-project of SELinux community Provides hardened hypervisor Multi-level security Isolated guests Contains any hypervisor breaches

8 MONITORING AND REPORTING Historical usage, trending, and quality of service Integrated reporting engine based on Jasper reports More than 25 pre-built reports and dashboards included Ability to create and customize reports and templates

9 INDUSTRY-LEADING VIRTUALIZATION PERFORMANCE SPECvirt_sc2010: As of November 15, 2013, Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization claims 10 of the top 15 results and the only 8-socket and 16-socket server scores.

10 SIGNIFICANT COST ADVANTAGE FOR RED HAT Simple subscription pricing ($999/ $1499 per socketpair per year) Single comprehensive edition with all features Lower acquisition cost accelerates ROI New releases can be immediately incorporated at no additional cost 10 physical hosts (2 sockets each) Same density across both

11 VIRTUALIZATION TO CLOUD CONTINUUM Virtual Infrastructure Management Drivers Server Virtualization Consolidation Reduce Capital Expense Private Cloud Distributed Virtualization Flexibility & Speed Reduce Operational Expense Automation Less Downtime Self-Serve Agility Standardization IT as a Business Usage Metering Hybrid Cloud Capital Expense Elimination Increased Flexibility (up and down) Visibility Optimization Agility Federation Control Automation Self-Service Brokering Derived from Gartner Roadmap: From Virtualization to Cloud Computing (reference slide)

12 RED HAT CLOUDFORMS - Multi Hypervisor Management Cloud Enablement Integrated with Infrastructure Management Approval Workflow Self Service Compliance Chargeback Quota Enforcement Cloud Enablement Automation Cloud Bursting Tagging Policies Infrastructure Management Resource Mgmt Capacity Planning Optimize Config Mgmt Root Cause Analysis

13 Multi Hypervisor Management Seamless Self-Service CLOUDFORMS Role-based Delegation Self-Service Portals Service Catalogs Automated Provisioning Quotas & Chargeback

14 SELF-SERVICE AUTOMATED PROVISIONING Deployment of Self-Service Resources CLOUDFORMS Role-Based Access Controls Chargeback Quota RBAC Service Delivery Requests Quota Enforcement Intelligent Workload Placement Approval Workflow Converged Infrastructure Management

15 Multi Hypervisor Management Single Pane of Glass for Administrators CLOUDFORMS Configuration Management Resource Management Capacity & Utilization Dashboards, Timelines Change & Drift Tracking

16 Multi Hypervisor Management Brown-field & Green-field: Managing ALL Resources from a Single Pane of Glass True Visibility CloudForms sees all VMs and workloads, not just ones it created. CloudForms interrogates the virtual disk VS just speaking to originating management system Admin Role #1 Admin Role #2 Admin Role #3 Guest OS Platform VM State Policy Applied # of Snapshots

17 Multi Hypervisor Management Root Cause Analysis and Reducing the MTTR When VM compared to template, quickly see issue was caused by recently increased memory Drift Analysis Compare to parent/host Compare to earlier time Quickly find similar VMs across the landscape KEY Genealogy what is the worst case scenario, know if the problem will expand beyond

18 Multi Hypervisor Management Automating Process- Stop VM if it Breaks Policy Sample Rule: Every Windows VM must have McAfee v2.0 installed Help Desk YES NO Security Team CLOUDFORMS Converged Infrastructure IT Management Users only see conforming VMs/Workloads Non-conforming VMs preventing from running Policy breach notifications sent automatically Tagging certain items allows one to apply policies to only tagged items

19 Multi Hypervisor Management Executive Management CLOUDFORMS Financial Management Governance & Compliance Forecasting & Planning Health, Availability

20 Multi Hypervisor Management Chargeback/Showback Network CPU Memory Storage 4 Dimensions to Cost: Whole Unit Allocated Actual Usage Tagged
