Agenda

• Virtualisation Benefits
• Virtualisation Generations
• VMware Infrastructure 3

3
Tradition x86 Architecture

• Single OS per machine
• Software and hardware tightly coupled
• Multiple applications often conflict
• Underutilized resources introduce real cost into
  the infrastructure

? Old model doesnt work anymore!
4
Virtualized x86 Architecture

• Separate OS and hardware break hardware
  dependencies
• OS and Application as single unit by
  encapsulation
• Strong fault and security isolation
• Standard, HW independent environments can be
  provisioned anywhere
• Flexibility to chose the right OS for the right
  application

Yesterdays Virtualisation

• 1st Generation Virtualisation
• Introduced partitioning technology to the x86
  platform
• First x86 hypervisor supporting Dos, Netware,
  Windows and Linux
• Single server management
• Local Storage
• Resource Control for a single physical server
• Runs small workloads

6
Todays Virtualisation

• 2nd Generation Virtualisation
• Central Management for multiple physical servers
• Centralized Storage using the Virtual Machine
  File System (VMFS)
• Introduced the technology to move Running
  Virtual Machines (VMotion)
• Central managed resource control per physical
  server
• Production ready platform with 20.000 customers
• Runs small to medium workloads

7
Introducing the next Generation of Virtualisation

• 3rd Generation Virtualisation
• Aggregates industry-standard (x86) servers into
  a single unified identity
• Uses logical Resource Pools to manage
  consumption
• Provides Service Level Agreements to manage
  groups of Virtual Machines
• Allows central backup protection for ALL Virtual
  Machines
• Delivers failure protection for ALL Virtual
  Machines
• Runs all types of workloads
