  1. SIOS – Comprehensive High Availability Options for your VMware Environment

  2. Agenda • About SIOS/SteelEye • Importance of High Availability • Challenges of HA in VMware Environments • SIOS – Enhancing VMware HA • vAppKeeper • SIOS SteelEye Protection Suite • Demo • Next Steps

  3. About SIOS / SteelEye Who is SIOS Technology Corp / SteelEye? • Founded 1999, wholly owned subsidiary of SIOS Technology, Inc • Profitable division within a profitable, publicly traded organization • Provides Best-In-Class High Availability, Data Replication and Disaster Recovery solutions • Global Organization • Headquartered in San Mateo, CA • Remote Offices throughout the US, UK and Japan • Over 35,000 licenses installed worldwide • RedHat and Novell certified solutions

  4. The Cost of Downtime Linux in the Enterprise • Need for Linux based HA solutions is higher than ever: • Critical Linux applications such as SAP and Oracle are rapidly growing across the enterprise • Applications not missions critical in the past are critical now (email, etc) • These applications need to be highly available to serve today’s 24x7x365 business landscape • Bottom Line:Cost of downtime to customers is substantial ! Cost of protection is NOT.

  5. Why HA: Pain Points / Challenges Improve Service Levels to customers while reducing Total Cost of Ownership!

  6. SIOS Offerings for Linux SIOS / Steeleye Solutions are • Flexible for both Virtual and Physical Environments • Physical to Physical • Physical to Virtual • Virtual to Virtual • Offers Multiple Levels of Protection • Integrated Application Monitoring for VMware HA • Comprehensive Multi Node Clustering • Able to protect ANY application • Supports many enterprise apps off the shelf • Protect your own custom applications with ease

  7. High Availability Challenges in VMware Environment

  8. Sources of Outages – Limitations of VMware HA VMware HA strength lies in protection against hardware failures 80% of unplanned outages are the result of application failures, misconfigurations and other operational errors Application awareness is essential to maximizing application availability

  9. SteelEye vAppKeeper Integrated High Availability with VMware

  10. vAppKeeper Brings Application Awareness to your VMware HA • Cost-effective high availability solution for applications that do not require multi-node clustering • No standby resources (hardware, software, etc.) necessary • Less complex to deploy and manage than multi-node clustering • Plug-in allow management and monitoring through the vSphere Client • Allows customer to fully leverage VMware tools and automation without compatibility issues

  11. vAppKeeper - Single-Node Protection vSphere Client w/ vAppKeeper Plug-in OS SMC App vAK App vAK App vAK App vAK HTTP OS OS OS vMotion HA DRS VMware HA Application Monitoring API Browser-Based vAppKeeper UI

  12. vAppKeeper + VMware HA = Resiliency • vAppKeeper • Monitors the health and applications (A) and their dependencies (D) • Withholds heartbeat to instruct VMware HA to respond to an application failure (restart, VMotion) • VMware HA • Monitors physical host for failure • Monitors virtual machine for failure • Can monitor VMware Tools heartbeat to identify OS failure

  13. Enterprise Management Visibility vSphere Client dashboard and granular application hierarchy views Flexible Management Options Brower-based user interface Command-line interface Multi-level policy Temporal recovery logic

  14. SIOS – End to End Linux Protection SteelEye Protection Suite SteelEye Protection Suite vAppKeeper (VMware) vAppKeeper (VMware) SteelEye Protection Suite (Non-VMware) SteelEye Protection Suite (Non-VMware) Physical Clusters Physical to Virtual Virtual to Virtual Cloud
