  1. Virtualization: Doing it right the first time to avoid costly repeat attempts. Software Licensing, Storage Options, Power and Cooling and Management

  2. vSphere 4 Product Licensing Essentials includes support and Essentials Plus requires support.

  3. vSphere 4 Product Licensing Support is required and sold separately. vSphere 4 Acceleration Kits/Promotions

  4. Microsoft OS Licensing • Operating Systems will need to be licensed • Microsoft O/S

  5. Storage • Shared Storage Pools • Centralized Management • Cost and Simplicity

  6. Storage Protocols What will it be with your VMware environment? • FC (Fibre Channel) • FCoE (Fibre Channel over Ethernet) • iSCSI • NAS (NFS) The answer is based on your environment and or application requirements. http://www.vmware.com/resources/techresources/

  9. Agenda for Today • New Storage Technology • For Aligning VMware • Server Cost Reduction Strategies • with • Storage Cost Reduction Strategies • Reducing Storage Power • Reducing Storage Space • Reducing Storage Hardware • Reducing Storage Management • Storage Architectures for VMware • Single ESX Server • Multiple ESX Servers / VMotion • Multiple ESX Servers / VMotion / Disaster Recovery 9

  10. New Technology to Reduce Storage POWER Old MAID Reduces application performance for energy savings “On-or-off” approach to energy savings Usually only supported on SATA drives Minutes to spin up components to respond to IO requests Slow response confines use to just a few applications AutoMAID Benefits of MAID without the limitations! Energy savings with application performance “Green with Speed” Supported on SAS and SATA drives Three levels of energy savings Level 1, up to 20% Level 2, up to 40% (SATA only) Level 3, up to 60% Fast response to 1st I/O requests Level 1, sub-second Level 2, less than 15 seconds Level 3, less than 30 seconds Fast and flexible response broadens use to include a wide range of applications 10

  11. Using LEGACY technology compared to NEW technology $.15 Kilowatt hour cost 3 year period 84TB Results - 60% less expense (includes CAPEX , OPEX) The results when you use New Technology to Reduce Storage POWER 11

  12. New Technology to Reduce Storage SPACE Drives are installed back to back to reduce vibration • Density • Single 4U chassis • Up to 84TB • 21TB per U • SAS and SATA • 4 FC ports • 4 iSCSI ports • Performance • 4 RAID Engines per chassis • 4 GB cache per chassis • 1100MBs and 40,000 IOPs Drive bottom Drive bottom New 4X Enterprise RAID Engines Per Chassis Cooling channel reduce drive heat. 12

  13. The results when you use New technology to Reduce Storage SPACE • Using LEGACY technology compared to NEW technology • $100 per. U per. month • 3 year period • FC Ports cost $300 each • 84TB SATA (25TB of SAS) • Results - 62% less expense (OPEX) – 85% less expensive (Infrastructure CAPEX) 42TB in 9 U 42TB in 4 U 13

  14. New Technology to Reduce Hardware Components • The Results when you use NewTechnology to Reduce Hardware Components • 65% fewer components • Less space • Less power • Fewer points of failure • Few things to worry about 14

  15. New Technology to Reduce Storage Management • The Results when you use NewTechnology to Reduce Management • 1 thing to manage NOT 3 things to manage • Less effort to scale • Less to worry about 15

  16. New Storage Technology for A Single ESX Server • SAS (Speed) and SATA (Capacity) • 3TB to 200TB • Dual / Redundant FC / iSCSI connections • Active / Active Data Paths • Host Port Redundancy • Network connection Redundancy • Storage controller Redundancy • 3TB to 200TB Single ESX Server Guests ESX Virtual Server Host 16

  17. New Storage Technology for Single Site - Multiple ESX Servers with VMotion Guests Guests VMotion ESX Virtual Server Host ESX Virtual Server Host • Server Redundancy • SAS (Speed) and SATA (Capacity) • 3TB to 200TB • Dual / Redundant FC / iSCSI connections • Active / Active Data Paths • Host Port Redundancy • Network connection Redundancy • Storage controller Redundancy • 3TB to 200TB 17

  18. New Storage Technology for Multi-Site ESX Servers / VMotion / Disaster Recovery Site B Site A Guests Guests VMotion ESX Virtual Server Host ESX Virtual Server Host • Server Redundancy, Data Redundancy, Storage Redundancy, Site Redundancy • 5 Nines = 99.999 HA • SAS (Speed) and SATA (Capacity) • 3TB to 1000TB 18

  23. Common Mistake Failure to adjust your power and cooling for your new infrastructure may result in decreased efficiency

  24. Data center infrastructure efficiency = IT load power Total data center input power Defining Data Center Infrastructure Efficiency DCiE The percent of your input power that gets to the IT loads The rest goes to power, cooling, and lighting equipment

  25. The cooling system uses the most energy in the data center Data Center Physical Infrastructure IT COOLING system POWER system
