THE MOST CRITICAL IT STRATEGY DECISION THIS DECADE. THREE CHOICES. 7 Karl Stevens
THREE APPROACHES TO BUILDING CLOUD Three Common Categories Greenfield Start from Scratch A GOOD APPROACH FOR FOR SERVICE PROVIDERS, BUT IMPRACTICAL FOR ESTABLISHED IT Add a Cloud Silo: Limited & Closed PROPRIETARY APPROACH ADDS ANOTHER SILO = INCREASED COMPLEXITY BRING CLOUD ADVANTAGES TO YOUR IT FUNCTION WHERE IT MAKES SENSE, WITHOUT LOCK IN Open Hybrid Cloud: Flexible & Portable LEVERAGE EXISTING INVESTMENTS
TRUE BENEFITS ONLY THROUGH THE POWER OF OPEN SOURCE AND OPEN STANDARDS And much more...
BUT GOES BEYOND OPEN SOURCE Open Source - You choose your economics - not your vendor - Avoid lock-in Viable independent Community - Not controlled or limited by one vendor Open Standards - Open standards at every level of the stack - Access to greater innovation Freedom to use IP - Able to be deployed without patent restrictions Choice of Infrastructure - Deploy to any infrastructure you choose - One that's right for you, not your vendor Open APIs - Extensible APIs for open interoperability Portability - Application portability across private and public clouds

USE CASES AND OBJECTION HANDLING Karl Stevens
UNIX TO LINUX MIGRATIONS The problem UNIX customers use LPARs, containers, or zones Or they are moving from older boxes to new x86 that demand consolidation Questions The solution Virtualization achieves the above benefits on x86 RHEV is the best platform for virtualizing RHEL guests UNIX to Linux conversion best time to virtualize Achieve benefits of single-vendor solution without the lock-in Are you using LPARs, containers or zones today? Moving to new x86, are you concerned about utilization, consolidation, manageability Mix of Linux and Windows workloads to centrally manage? Cautions Some workloads not suitable for virtualization Hybrid mode (bare metal RHEL + RHEV VMs) requires architecture work Make sure storage & network infrastructure is up to task
LINUX ORGANIZATION WITH ZERO TO LITTLE VIRTUALIZATION The problem Customer needs to refresh aging x86 infrastructure. Looking to consolidate Linux workloads onto modern, energy efficient, higher performing x86 servers. Customer wants to reduce, improve utilization, increase agility The solution Virtualization achieves the above benefits on x86 Solution from same trusted vendor that is delivering RHEL RHEV is the best platform for virtualizing RHEL guests Questions Is Linux-based virtualization technology a better fit for your organization? Do you want the Vmware/Windows group managing your infrastructure (and your budget?) Cautions May need V2V or P2V solutions from Red Hat or partners VMware advocates from Windows side of house may try to get into a feature war
LINUX ORGANIZATION WITH RHEL/XEN OR RHEL/KVM VIRTUALIZATION The problem Management and administration of virtualization infrastructure is difficult and time consuming. Customer wants to significantly expand cluster to many hypervisor hosts. The solution RHEV is the centralized enterprise management solution from Red Hat and the natural migration path Solutions based on RHEL/Xen or RHEL/KVM easily ported through V2V tools Questions How will you manage a homegrown virt solution as the company grows? Do you want to leverage the experience of the open source community in virtualization management like you do for Linux? Cautions Beware of the recent FUD by Oracle and Citrix claiming the Xen is now part of the Linux kernel RHEV 2 did not allow much of the tuning these customers were used to hooks is the way RHEV 3 will allow customization
VMWARE CUSTOMER UNHAPPY ON COST The problem Customer is seeing diminishing buyer power with a strategic IT vendor. Customer seeks leverage versus the proprietary pricing practices of VMware Questions The solution Bringing in a second source greatly improves negotiating position with VMware. Many of our RHEV customers who have migrated from VMware have found it to be a straight-forward transition. RHEV is a proven virtualization solution offering compelling value. Have you thought about the advantages of a dual source strategy? Do you have virtualized Linux and window s workloads? What are your requirements around performance and scalability? Do you single source all of your IT technology? Cautions There are costs with adding a second source talk to customer about benefits (pricing power, driving down costs) Be ready to talk about why RHEV is better than Citrix Xen, MS Hyper-V
VMWARE CUSTOMER KICKING THE TYRES The problem Multiple factors driving customer to look for alternative to VMware. Wants more choice and flexibility over the long term and seeks to avoid proprietary vendor lock-in. Wants lower virtualization cost. Corporate IT policy requires dual vendor supplier The solution RHEV is the industry leading open source based enterprise virtualization solution. Most of our RHEV customers found the transition from VMware easy (migration, training, integration, etc.) Questions Did you know that VMware lowers its prices significantly when they hear Red Hat is in the deal? Doesn't hurt to talk to us and do a POC... Cautions Most tire kickers will not buy. How to turn a tire kicker into an opportunity? RHEV offers 80% of the features at 20% of the cost Find where RHEV fits today With 20% RHEV (a credible install), customer strategic strength in negotiating with other vendors
VDI: IMPROVE DESKTOP MANAGEMENT The problem We have a large office with 100's of physical desktops We have multiple offices and remote locations with disparately located desktops The solution Virtualization centralizes desktops into a controlled datacenter Creates true desktop portability and agility, including failover and backup Reduces or even eliminates desk-side visits, including PC replacement Deliver desktops to internal LAN and external WAN offices with SPICE Questions Do you have a large office building of desktops or multiple office locations to support? Does IT staff spend all their time servicing desktops? Are you still buying and deploying new PCs every 3-5 years? Cautions Not all remote locations will have the network to support remote access (check bandwidth & latency) VDI does not apply to all users nor all use cases
VDI: HETEROGENEOUS DESKTOPS The problem Users need Windows and Linux desktops Developers code on Linux, test on Windows The solution Desktop virtualization removes dependencies on single OS environments RHEV-D delivers any mixture of Linux and Windows desktops Power User Portal provides selfpublishing privileges for both RHEV-D increases flexibility to access any desktop from nearly any web browser Questions Do you deploy Windows & Linux desktops today? Do your users require multiple environments at once? Do your users have more than one type of desktop PC at their desk? Cautions Not all applications work well when virtualized RHEV-D does not support 3D acceleration/modeling
