New Enablers for More Effective Management Management & Automation > Guided Consolidation (in VirtualCenter) > Virtual Desktop Manager Guided server consolidation Integrated virtual desktop management Virtual Infrastructure > DRS with Distributed Power Mgmt Energy efficient resource management for a green datacenter Œ Virtualization Platform > ESX Server 3i Next generation thin hypervisor integrated into server hardware for rapid deployment 7

ESX Server 3i Compact, 32MB footprint Only architecture with no reliance on a general purpose OS Integration in hardware eliminates installation Intuitive wizard driven start up experience dramatically reduces deployment time Standards-based management of the underlying hardware Server boot to running virtual machines in minutes Simplified management Increased security and reliability 8

From server boot to running VMs in 3i Minutes 1. Power on server and boot into hypervisor 2. Configure Admin Password 3. (optional) Modify network configuration 4. Connect VI Client to IP Address Or manage with VirtualCenter 9

Enabling the Plug-and-Play Datacenter Plug: Power on a new server with ESX Server 3i. The new server joins a DRS cluster. Play: All VMs in the cluster are automatically rebalanced taking in consideration the newly available resources. On-demand capacity Easy scalability 10

Distributed Power Management (experimental) Power Off Business Demand Resource Pool Consolidates workloads onto fewer servers when the cluster needs fewer resources Energy efficiency Places unneeded servers in standby mode Brings servers back online as workload needs increase Minimizes power consumption while guaranteeing service levels No disruption or downtime to virtual machines 11

Guided Consolidation DISCOVER ANALYZE Automatically discovers physical servers Server assessment Analyzes utilization and usage patterns Converts physical servers to VMs placed intelligently based on user response CONVERT Lowers training requirements for new virtualization users Steers users through the entire consolidation process 12

New Enablers for Mainframe-class Availability and Reliability Across the Stack Management & Automation > Site Recovery Manager Automation of disaster recovery set up, testing, failover and failback Virtual Infrastructure > Storage VMotion > HA updates > Update Manager Non-disruptive migration of virtual machine disk files Protection of virtual machines from OS failures Automated enforcement of patch standards Œ Virtualization Platform 14

VMware Update Manager OFFLINE Automates patch management for ESX Server hosts and select Microsoft and RHEL virtual machines Policy compliance Scans and remedies online as well as offline virtual machines* and online ESX Server hosts Snapshots virtual machines prior to patching and allows rollback to snapshot Update Manager Eliminates manual tracking of patch levels of ESX Server hosts and virtual machines Automates enforcement of patch standards Reduces risk through snapshots and offline virtual machine patching 15 * Note: RHEL guests can only be scanned, not remediated

Non-disruptive ESX Server Patching with Update Manager and DRS Update Manager server VMotion VMotion Update Manager patches entire DRS clusters Each host in the cluster enters DRS maintenance mode, one at a time VMs are migrated off, host is patched & rebooted if required VMs are migrated back on Next host is selected Automates patching of large number of hosts with zero downtime to virtual machines 16

Storage VMotion Storage independent migration of virtual machine disks Zero downtime to virtual machines LUN independent Multi Tier Storage Supported for Fibre channel SANs Minimizes planned downtime due to storage Complete planned downtime management solution across servers and storage with VMotion and Storage VMotion 17

Enhanced HA VM Failure Monitoring (experimental) Monitors virtual machines for guest OS failures Automatically restarts VM after specified interval Resource Pool Minimizes unplanned downtime in the event of physical hardware failures as well as OS failures 18

Consolidated Backup (VCB) Enhancements 2 Mount Backup 3 Support for VMs running on iscsi, NAS or local storage Run VCB within a VM Use VMware Converter to restore VCB images Full GUI Integration with leading partners 1 Snap Snap Simplified data protection setup and configuration 1 step restore procedure for virtual machines 19 Copyright 2005 VMware, Inc.
