  2. Data center flexibility challenges Non-strategic tasks burn most cycles Provisioning infrastructure takes too much time We have more physical than virtual servers Variable workloads = sub-optimized capacity VM deployment quality inconsistent

  3. The efficient data center architecture Intelligent Data Management • + Disaster recovery / continuity • + Object and unified storage • + Automated tieringand de-duplication • Optimization of data value throughout its lifecycle, placing iton the right tier and storage type Streamlined Application & Workload Management • + Compress the time-to-value for new applications • + Self-service IT • + Proactive, predictive monitoring • Rapid delivery of strategic IT services with groundbreaking new capabilities Simplified Infrastructure Management • + Policy-based updates & config • + Manage network, storage,servers in a single pool • + VMWare, Hyper-V, Xen, physical Tools for managing and deploying your physical, virtual and logical infrastructure • + Intelligent, purpose built servers • + Efficient I/O fabric • + Optimized storage • + Cloud-optimized infrastructure • Smart, virtual ready infrastructure for rapid deployment and optimized operations IntelligentInfrastructure

  4. The need for Simplified Infrastructure Management • Discrete Server, Storage and Networking teams have to commit resources • Extremely people intensive processes • Lengthy time to deploy a resource set and then turn it into a solution • Organizational challenges limit optimization / utilization once it becomes a solution STORAGE Storage Team NETWORKING Networking Team SERVERS Server Team

  5. When complete, solutions often inefficient • Experimental workload resources often don’t get reclaimed • Hyper-growth workloads constantly require care and feeding • Cyclic workloads waste resources • All workloads are over resourced for safety Experimental workload Mail Workload Business Cycle Workload Day 1 1 Year

  6. Dell Efficient Data Center in action Dell Virtual Integrated System Dell Virtual Integrated System Accelerate delivery of strategic IT services with groundbreaking new capabilities VIS Delivery Center Integration of the most common infrastructure activities into VMM VIS Integration Suites Rapid resource deployment, optimized operations, and planning VIS Infrastructure

  7. VIS Infrastructure Approach: Manage a single resource pool with Dell Advanced Infrastructure Manager • Efficiently manage the entire infrastructure and all it’s elements • Servers, server network connections • Storage, storage network connections • Network infrastructure connecting the servers in the rack to the network backbone

  8. Deploy, manage and maintain a single resource pool Advanced Infrastructure Manager Management • Efficiently manage heterogeneous virtual and physical systems to reduce TCO • Rapidly and repeatably deploy your VMWare, HyperV, Xen and physical systems, Dell can help break through your Virtualization roadblocks Virtualization • Drive data center ROI by integrating new and existing server / storage / networking into a single resource pool – no single vendor lock in Server / Storage/ Networking Infrastructure optimization • Allocate resources to meet dynamic workload demands – no resource silos Deployment and operation • Bring virtual-like functionality to physical servers

  9. Dell Advanced Infrastructure Manager Dynamic server re-provisioning • Rack Once, Cable Once • No manual changes to LAN/SAN switches, cabling, storage LUNs • No manual changes to network addresses, storage addresses • No reloading software on servers One moment servers are a Windows cluster, on an internal network, connected to LUN1… The next moment the servers are a Linux Web Grid, on an external network, connected to LUNs 2 & 3…

  10. Dell Advanced Infrastructure Manager Data center consolidation QA / Test Utilization – 35% Pre-production Utilization – 60% Standby Utilization – 0% Production Utilization – 50%

  13. Dell Advanced Infrastructure Manager Workload balancing

  14. Dell Advanced Infrastructure Manager Dynamically migrate workloads –Physical to virtual or virtual to physical

  15. Dell Advanced Infrastructure Manager advantages Dell Advantage Management + Single tool management of heterogeneous virtual and physical systems Virtualization + VMWare, HyperV, Xen (and physical) support Server / Storage/ Networking + Open, multi-vendors and multi-connect Infrastructure optimization + Automate dynamic workload variability + Reclaim / redeploy resources for strategic projects Deployment and operation + Rapid, repeatable VM and physical deployment

  16. Advanced Infrastructure Manager advantages Dell Others + Single tool management of heterogeneous virtualand physical systems • Islands of efficiency that must be individually managed Management Server / Storage/ Networking - Replace w limitedvendor and technology options + Open, multi-vendors and multi-connect + Automate dynamic workload variability + Reclaim / redeploy resources - Single solution island In your data center Infrastructure optimization • Storage management?, Fabric management? • OS deployments • HW/FW upgrades? • Physical to virtual swap? + Rapid, repeatable VM and physical deployment Deployment and operation

  17. The efficient data center advantage • + Optimize the management of both physical and virtual servers • + Incremental, open approach to protect your IT investments • + Free-up 50% of your IT budget for innovation Intelligent Data Management • + Dynamically manage servers, networks, storage and workloads • + Radically reduce the number of devices to cable, deploy, manage, power, cool and the tools required Streamlined Application & Workload Management • + Automate the day to day, from workload deployments to image creations • + Design to use the best-of-breed technologiesas they develop – no vendor lock-in… even Dell Simplified Infrastructure Management • + Storage virtualization, efficient object storage, automated data tiering, and de-duplication can reduce storage costs > 50% • + Leverage on-demand capacity scaling and cloud DR IntelligentInfrastructure
