Virtual Infrastructure
  • Partition a single server reliably and securely
    into multiple virtual machines

4
Virtual Infrastructure
  • Aggregate entire farms of systems, storage and
    network into a shared IT service
  • Partition a single server reliably and securely
    into multiple virtual machines

12
What is ESX Server 3i?
  • Thin architecture
  • Unparalleled security and reliability
  • Compact 32MB footprint
  • Only OS-independent design focused on
    virtualization
  • Integrated in server systems

13
Industry is Designing for Virtualization
  • ESX Server 3i built into server hardware
  • Virtualization optimized server designs
  • Multi-core
  • Large memory configurations
  • Multiple NICs
  • Diskless servers
  • Virtualization support in processors and chipset
  • VT, AMD-V
  • NPT, EPT

Architectural Benefits
  • New way to provision ESX thin virtualization
  • Unmatched security and reliability
  • OS independence - small attack profile
  • Even more locked down
  • Less patching
  • No config errors
  • Simplified management
  • No special OS knowledge required
  • No user accounts or passwords to create and
    maintain
  • No OS security hardening, antivirus, or backup
    effort required
  • Standard APIs for hardware management

ESX Server 3i supports all the functionality and
Performance of VMware Infrastructure 3
16
Hardware Trends Drive Virtualization
  • Massive compute supply mandates virtualization
  • High core count
  • Large memory
  • High speed converged I/O fabric
  • X86 continues upstream
  • 70-80 business compute needs
  • Minimal virtualization overhead
  • 3rd generation hardware assist
  • Virtualization-aware ecosystem



Virtualization becomes a default server feature

Common Information Model (CIM)
  • Key features
  • Agent-less, standards based monitoring of
    hardware resources
  • Used by VirtualCenter to provide basic hardware
    status information
  • CIM providers readable by 3rd party management
    tools

Guided Consolidation
DISCOVER
  • Automatically discovers physical servers
  • Analyzes utilization and usage patterns
  • Converts physical servers to VMs placed
    intelligently based on user response

ANALYZE
  • Lowers training requirements for new
    virtualization users
  • Steers users through the entire consolidation
    process

CONVERT
27
VMware Converter
  • Converter integrated into VirtualCenter
  • Perform scheduled or manual migrations
  • Use Converter to restore VCB Images
  • Migrate other VMs

Physical Machine
Physical-to-Virtual
28
VMware Update Manager
  • Automates patch management for ESX Server hosts
    and select Microsoft and RHEL virtual machines
  • 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

OFFLINE
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
Update Manager
29
Non-disruptive ESX Server Patching with Update
Manager and DRS
  • 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

Storage VMotion for Storage Array Migration
  • Array maintenance
  • Migrate to different class of storage
  • Remove Bottlenecks
  • Tiering

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

Resource Pool

High Availability for all Servers
Less than 10 of x86 workloads are clustered today
Application protection
New! Enhanced HA add even more attractive and
suitable for more workloads
