VMware Consolidated Backup Agentless file level backup Move backup out of the virtual machine A single agent running on the proxy server rather than an agent on every virtual machine. Eliminate backup traffic on the local area network Utilize Fibre Channel tape devices for virtual machine backups Pre-integrated with major 3rdparty backup products 18 Copyright 2005 VMware, Inc.

Architectures Do Matter VMware Architecture True thin hypervisor No general-purpose OS Direct driver model = I/O scaling Drivers optimized for VMs Page Sharing = Greater Density Hypervisor owns the resources MSFT / Xen Architecture Large general purpose OS in management partition Indirect driver model Generic drivers in mgmt partition Potential for I/O throughput degradation under load All VMs down when mgmt partition fails (BSOD/Kernel panic) 22
Size Does Matter VMware ESXi 32 MB Windows 2008 Citrix Server XenServer Core with v4 Hyper-V RC0 1.8 GB 2.6 GB 23
The Highest VM Density Memory Optimization Dynamic Balancing Highest VM Density 24
Smarter Memory Management = Greater VM Density TCO per VM is the critical metric! Host system memory is usually the resource bottleneck. VMware memory management technology allows an average of 2:1 memory overcommit (and oftentimes greater) Transparent Page Sharing Memory ballooning 25
