Server Consolidation Through Virtualization Management Power, space and maintenance costs forcing more efficient use of resources Challenges Green data center requirements increasing dramatically Addressed Virtualization growing to deal with new requirements but introducing new management challenges Intelligently consolidate servers using virtualization to reduce Server hardware costs Configuration Manage virtual and physical servers through one solution to Capabilities optimize use of resources Manage multiple virtual environments with one solution
13. Virtualization Management Automated provisioning and server consolidation Manage virtual machines to consolidate physical servers Identify candidates servers and do quick physical-to-virtual and virtual-to-virtual conversion for server consolidation Effective and secure patching and upgrading of VM’s Control VM sprawl by consolidating workloads, moving virtual machines, and shutting down unneeded virtual hosts Guidance and best practice services to reduce server sprawl and improve virtualization management Centralize, automate and manage both physical and virtual server software deployments in the data center Capacity planning and resource optimization Quick provisioning of operating systems, applications, patches and updates on both physical and virtual servers Guidance and tools for planning and server deployment Up-to-date inventory and visibility of the servers and applications which reside in the data center Guidance and best practice services for configuration management optimization to streamline IT operations
14. Consolidation Performance Physical Physical servers data collected Prioritized report machinesconverted to to identify of consolidation retired or virtual consolidation Performance data candidates Virtual Machine Intelligent candidates repurposed machines placementagents collected from VM Manager of each hosts for intelligent VM on optimal host deployed to virtual machine hosts placement Physical Infrastructure Virtual Machine Hosts
15. Administrative Provisioning New VM created from configured Pre-configured template VM configuration template customized from selected for new template VM Intelligent Centralized Performance data placement of new Library of VM collected from VM VM on optimal host Templates hosts for intelligent placement Virtual Machine Hosts
16. Server Consolidation Through Virtualization Management Controlling Virtual Machine Sprawl Physical Servers Virtual Machines Add Require Increased Infrastructure Planning Patch Management Migration Performance Monitoring Load Balancing Event Monitoring VM Management and Configuration Configuration Management Physical Disk / Storage Provisioning Rack Space and Power End to end management of virtual machines ensures control of environment Single management environment for physical and virtual servers Virtual machine provisioning and configuration, along with patch management and software upgrades Server health and performance monitoring and management Virtual machine backup and recovery (disaster recovery) Heterogeneous hypervisor support Virtualization deployment guidance and services Improve virtualization management and implement virtualization best practices
17. End to End Monitoring Proactive platform, application and service-level monitoring Unintended configuration changes resulting in greater cost and Challenges risk Addressed Heterogeneous mix of services, applications and servers causing inability to find root cause and increased downtime Increasing service level agreements difficult to meet End to End Availability, performance, and configuration monitoring to Monitoring proactively address IT issues Capabilities Deep application and service -level monitoring
