Virtualization The Opportunity

• Virtualization Killer platform for the
  next-generation data center (Merrill Lynch, 22
  Oct 2007)
• Hardware refresh is key to virtualization
  efficiencies
• Improved utilization means fewer physical
  servers are needed for a given amount of
  computing workload
• The perfect storm of growth drivers
• x86 server utilization averages only 10-15 of
  total capacity
• Virtualization optimizes multi-core processors
  utilization
• Virtualization helps failover, disaster recovery,
  and reduces downtime

3
Virtualization Changes the Game Entirely with
Renewed Level of IT Empowerment

• Pool and consolidate Do more with less
• Increase hardware utilization without isolation
  penalty
• Reduce number of servers to cut operating costs
• Instantly provision new server on shared resource
  pool

• Scale out, not up Let the idle be idle
• Siloed and dedicated deployments result in
  over-provisioning and under-utilization of
  multiple servers
• Virtual deployments can easily be scaled
  horizontally so that steady state deployments are
  more efficient

• Achieve flexibility Prioritize, decide, control
• Infrastructure becomes flexible thru policy-based
  automation and dynamic capacity on demand
• Manage applications SLAs and not their
  configurations

BEA and VMware are the Sweet Spot

• Virtualization based on industry-standard x86
  servers is growing fast and accelerating
• VMware dominate the x86 hypervisor virtualization
  space
• Application servers are the next big growth area
  for virtualization
• Massive installed base of Enterprise Java
  applications which will reap massive TCO benefits
  from virtualization
• BEA has unique technology which will allow
  customers to virtualize Enterprise Java with
  superior efficiency, reliability and scalability

BEA LiquidVMFirst Virtualization-Enabled JVM

• WHAT IT IS Designed to be deployed within a
  dedicated virtual machine directly on
  hypervisor-based virtualization platforms on x86
  servers(Initially VMware Infrastructure)
• HOW IT WORKS Embedded POSIX based nix
  emulation layer runs a single JRockit JVM as
  kernel process within virtual machine without
  exposing any external non-Java interfaces to user
• WHAT IT DOES Enables deployment of Java
  applications and SOA services running within the
  JVM as virtualized software appliances with
  greater efficiency of memory and CPU utilization

WebLogic Server Virtual EditionFirst Java
Platform for Virtualized Environments

• WHAT IT IS Software appliance containing WLS
  Premium with LiquidVM that delivers ready-to-run
  platform for Enterprise Java Apps optimized
  out-of-the-box for virtualized environments
• HOW IT WORKS Pre-configured ISO Image gets read
  from shared storage environment and deployed
  within virtual machine dynamically
• WHAT IT DOES Unlocks the full utilization
  potential of server virtualization for Enterprise
  Java Applications by improving overall efficiency
  and reducing operations and management costs

7
WebLogic Liquid Operations Control Governance of
Multiple Java Applications Deployed on
Virtualized Resource Pool

• WHAT IT IS Policy-based framework for automating
  deployment and governance of Java applications
  and services onto virtualized and non-virtualized
  hardware resources
• HOW IT WORKS Agents interface with remote
  endpoints to monitor and execute instructions
  based on flexible rules and action framework
• WHAT IT DOES Simplifies management of multiple
  Java applications and reduces overall operating
  costs

Customer value proposition
Key BEA Differentiators

• Control Business agility through application
  governance
• SLAs based on policy-based automation
• Applications can be scaled and migrated without
  huge time and effort overhead
• Simplicity Pre-configured software appliances
• Fully integrated stack removes installation and
  configuration challenges
• Rapid provisioning and deployment of new
  instances on resource pool
• Efficiency Cost reduction thru virtualization
  and consolidation
• Higher utilization less hardware to support same
  number of applications
• No OS license and administration costs
• Reduced data center complexity and operating costs

VMware Virtual Vanguard Award

• Most Successful Virtual Appliance Developed by
  an ISV
• Awarded by VMware for WebLogic Server Virtual
  Edition
• Recognition of BEAs leading role in bringing the
  virtual appliance model to the infrastructure
  market
• BEA is the only major infrastructure vendor today
  to embrace this new model for enterprise
  virtualization

The Virtual Vanguard Awards program is an annual
program to honor VMware customers and independent
software vendors (ISVs) who have demonstrated
exceptional use of virtualization technology.
