About Tomato A Norwegian based company Founded 2003, 21 employees Creator of TDS D/R solution for VMware Specialized and highly focused on Virtualization and Disaster/Recovery solutions A VMware Premier Partner in 2003 VMware VAC partner in 2004 Aquired by Ementor January 2008
About VMware & Virtualization Virtualization = many servers on one! Simplifies administration and cuts cost Consolidation: effective use of server resources Security: easy to manage in a D/R scenario Scalabillity: easy to add new server resources Environmental friendly: use less power and cooling Leading edge technology
Why does Virtual Infrastructure make D/R easier?...because Virtual Machines are files VMs can be administrated the same way as data Copy (DR, provisioning and test) Replication (DR) Archiving (DR, test and history) Versions (DR and testing)
Why does Virtual Infrastructure make D/R easier?...because Virtual Machines are hardware-independent Applikasjon Applikasjon Applikasjon Operativsystem Operativsystem Operativsystem Virtual Machines do not see the actual physical Hardware Simplifies DR New possibilities for the DR site VMware Fysisk hardware
Business Continuity is a driving reason for Virtualization What are the top three objectives you seek for data center virtualization in your company this year? (select up to three) Utilize virtualization to improve BC and DR Increase the server consolidation ratio Improve virtual machine performance Improve management of VM environment Expand the # of mission critical apps running in VMs Improve internal skills to support Reduce complexity Improve tracking and visibility of VMs Expand # of non mission-critical apps running in VMs Extend virtualization to all divisions in the company Move from test/dev to production virtualization Improve our ability to calculate ROI Consolidate the # virtualization SW vendors Diversity the # virtualization SW vendors 1% 1% 9% 7% 7% 19% 17% 14% 14% 25% 34% 31% 39% 44% 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% Top Objectives for datacenter virtualization Source: Comprehensive survey of VMware customers conducted in July-August 2008, who use ESX in production. 2008: N=376

Storage Vmotion: Migrate a virtual machine disk files from one datastore to another while the vm is running.vmx.vmdk Migrate disks to different locations The VM does not change host while migrating
Storage Vmotion Use Cases: Used when upgrading from ESX 2.x to ESX 3.x Use for storage maintenance and reconfiguration Redistribute storage loads D/R Failback Primary storage Use for failback from D/R storage to primary storage
