  2. Trends and Challenges Facing IT Cut PowerConsumption Better Supportthe Business Get a Better Return on Investments Today’sIT Dept. AddressTechnologicalComplexity Make IT More Secure ReduceOperating Costs

  3. The Basics

  4. Vmware VMotion™ Migrate running virtual machine from one server to another Zero downtime Continuous service availability Complete transaction integrity. VMotion support on FC, NAS and iSCSI storage

  5. Automated Resource Assurance Increased Availability On Demand Capacity • Automated • Across Applications • Non-Disruptive • Flexible • Dynamic Balancing • Continuous Optimization Just-in-Time Shared Infrastructure The Always On, On Demand Data Center + + X

  6. The 3rd Generation Virtualisation Suite • VMware ESX Server 3.5 • VMware VirtualCenter 2.5 • 4-way vSMP / 64GB Virtual RAM support • Distributed Virtual Machine File System • VMware Vmotion / Storage Vmotion • VMware High Availability • VMware Distributed Resource Scheduling • VMware Consolidated Backup • VMware Distributed Power Management • VMware Update Manager • VMware Converter • VMware Guided Consolidation

  7. “Maintaining duplicate hardware at a DR site is expensive, complex, and time consuming.” Typical DR Challenges “A DR site is like having an expensive insurance policy. We know we need something, but it’s difficult to justify the cost.” “Testing our DR plan is very difficult. And to be honest, we’re just not sure if it’ll work as we hope it will.” “When we tested our DR plan recently, we missed our Recovery Time Objective by DAYS! ”

  8. Typical DR Challenges DR Site Production Site • Complex • Costly • Difficult to Test • Unreliable • Inefficient • Inflexible • Multi- replication How Virtualization Solves the DR puzzle • Reduce DR Costs • Flexible • Efficient • Flexible • Unified replication • Reliable (storage replication updates all SW&HW) • Reliable (easier to test) • Reliable (Boot & Play scenario)

  9. Figleaves – Dell Knock Out! • - Figleaves.com wanted a modern high-performance infrastructure that is adaptable, simple-to-manage and scalable to satisfy its ambitious growth plans. • - Updated ageing IT infrastructure, created a second data centre to aid disaster recovery. Whilst implementing the HP Adaptive Infrastructure solution. Solution • VMware VI3 Enterprise x 33 • HP BladeSystem with 33 ProLiant BL460 c-Class server blades • HP StorageWorks 4400 Enterprise Virtual Array (EVA) • HP StorageWorks Modular Smart Array (MSL) 2024 Tape Library • VMware virtualisation software • HP Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager • HP Insight Control Management for BladeSystem • HP Technology Services

  10. Automating Disaster Recovery with VMware Site Recovery Manager & HP StorageWorks

  11. What is VMware Site Recovery Manager? Protected Recovery • SRM is an end-to-end Disaster Recovery (DR) automation product • SRM automates the recovery of virtual machines that reside on array based replicated LUNs • SRM interfaces with HP storage via a Site Recovery Adaptor for HP Continuous Access Replication Software

  12. Site Recovery Manager Features VirtualCenter Site Recovery Manager Virtual Machines ESX Server ESX Server ESX Server ESX Server Servers HP StorageWorks EVA • Centralized management • Create, test, update and execute recovery plans from a single point of management • Tight integration with VMware VirtualCenter • Monitoring and alerts • Disaster recovery automation • Build recovery process in advance • Automate testing of recovery plans • Automate execution of recovery process • Simplified setup and integration • Allocate and manage recovery resources • Easy integration with HP StorageWorks Continuous Access Replication Software

  13. VMware SRM with HP StorageWorks - Key Components • VMware Site Recovery Manager • Manages and monitors recovery plans • Tightly integrated with VirtualCenter Virtual Center Site Recovery Manager • HP SRM “Adapter” • Free Download software to enable integration between SRM and HP EVA Storage and HP Continuous Access EVA HP SRM Adapter Virtual Machines • VMware Infrastructure • Requires ESX Server 3.0.2 or later • Requires VirtualCenter 2.5 or later VMware Infrastructure Servers • HP StorageWorks EVA • iSCSI or Fibre Channel storage (CV 8.0.1 or later) HP StorageWorks EVA Array Replication • HP EVA Continuous Access Replication • Integrated via replication adapters created, certified and supported by HP

  19. Key selling messages for HP & VMware SRM Fast Recovery in hours, not days or weeks Reliable Eliminates error-prone processes. Automates testing & recovery. Runs on HP Platforms. Manageable Create, monitor, and update recovery plans from VirtualCenter Affordable Leverage cost savings from consolidation (servers, floor space, power & cooling, administrative).

  20. Call To Action VMware and HP Solution seminar (Stephen Watson) 9.30  VMware present around business drivers for adopting Virtualised solutions and VMware with HP 10.00 ISS present on how Blades and ISS servers work well together with reasons behind this. 10.30 Break 10.45 SWD presents on why use EVA as a the virtualised storage for the VMware solution 11.15 Services show how HP can offer end to end solution 11.45 VMware offer a technical presentation to answer queries on how it works and the features available (SRM and VMotion being asked about a lot.) 12.15-12.30 close

  21. Summary Virtualization enhances DR in many significant ways Faster More Reliable More Manageable More Affordable HP & VMware’s SRM extends the DR benefits of Virtualization through automation. HP & VMware have collaborated on SRM integration with the HP StorageWorks EVA & HP Continuous Access EVA. Virtualization and DR can boost your business Significant market momentum and customer demand Creates deeper customer relationships & multiple projects Drives additional sales of high-end servers, network storage, and services VMware, are ready to help you
