Each Virtual Machine is a complete system encapsulated in a set of software files

(X86) Physical Server Virtual Hardware Virtual Machine (VM) Benefits

System with VMware Virtualization • Partitioning - Allows many Virtual Machines VMs to share same physical hardware. • IltiIsolation –FilFailure o f one VM VM will not affect the other VMs • Encapsulation - entire system (OS, apps, data, devices and state) is wrapped into files • Flexibilit y - Break dependencies between OS and hardware! ESX Server – Enterprise Class

Bare-Metal Architecture Proven Reliability and Performance Bare-Metal Hypervisor (Not based on Linux) Robust & Secured

Enterprise Features 4-way vSMP, 64 GB memory VM Supports both 32bit and 64bit Enterprise Workloads

Broad Ecosystem compatibility Supports 200+ guest OSes for Windows, Linux, Netware and x86 Solaris Servers, Storage (FC, iSCSI, NAS) Agenda Objectives Virtualization Overview VMware Infrastructure 3 – key features Infrastructure Optimization & Disaster Recovery Questions & Answers Manage Capacity, Not Servers

"Flexibility in building the server on the virtual machine environment is a real value…. Our system administrator configured 12 machines in less than 4 hours. Physical servers generally take one day each to build." -- Rod Lucero, Chief Architect, Conseco Finance Challenges for DR with Physical Infrastructure

Require identical hardware for recovery Site A Site B

• Because of hardware dependencies • Double costs, increases complexity

Idle hardware

• Need standby hardware Recovery • RiRepurposing servers a ttifditit time of disaster is Target labor-intensive and time-consuming

Slow, complex recovery process

• Different solutions for different availability tiers

• Separate procedures for system and data disks Configure Install Config Install Start “Single- hardware OS OS backup/ step automatic restore recovery” • Separate procedures for desktop PC’s agent • Multi-step recovery processes Simplify Disaster Recovery with VMware Disaster recovery with lower cost, less complexity and greater reliability

Production Recover to any hardware Recovery Site or Data Center • No need for identical duplicate h/w DR Hosting Site • Ctfllh/tDRitCan waterfall h/w to DR site
