  3. NUMBER OF VMs TIME The Joint VMware/EMC Effect The Path to Success • Process and Tech Standard Phase • Extended Mobility • “VM 1st” Policy • Heavy-Use Phase • Disaster Recovery • Tier 1 apps • Backup Built for VM • Performance/QoS • VM Mobility • VDI • Light-Use Phase • Utility Servers • High Availability • Pilot Phase • POC Servers • Test/Dev Time

  4. Simple, easy-to-use solutions that integrate with and extend all VMware advanced functions (e.g., DRS, Storage VMotion, SRM) Flexibility for iSCSI, FC, and NFS – every protocol VMware needs = no risk, no sacrifices, no protocol wars Proven scaling, proven replication, proven availability, proven tier 1 app solutions Unique capabilities in VMware environments: Backup built for VMware VDI solutions – from 1 image to 10,000 in minutes Change control and end-to-end virtual-to-physical management Virtual appliances Joint VMware/Exchange/SQL/Oracle/SAP solutions Net – more customers choose EMC for VMware 5 Reasons – Why EMC for VMware “For virtual servers, networked storage solutions are more heavily weighted toward EMC storage. In previous years, storage attached to virtual servers was highly captive relative to the server hardware purchase.” • Source: IDC’s Server Virtualization 2007 Multiclient Study, Dec 2007 * EMC and VMware were sponsors of this study 2007 Server Virtualization Survey Results - IDC Chart Source: IDC’s Server Virtualization 2007 Multiclient Study, Dec 2007. Chart shows percentage of survey responses to a question about primary brand of network storage attached to virtual servers. N=311

  8. VMware ESX Server EMC CLARiiON CX3-80 Storage Fabric VMware Top I/O Performance… • Can a single ESX Server drive a CLARiiON CX3-80 with 165 disks? • The test: • One server • 16 cores (Intel Tigerton) • 16 VMs (Windows 2003 Server) • IO-intensive workload • 8k block size • 100% random • Mixed read/write

  9. 15K IOPs – Good for I/O-Intensive VMs

  10. 30K IOPs – Exceeds the Load of Many Databases

  11. 60K IOPs – Around 120,000 Microsoft Exchange Mailboxes

  12. 100K IOPs!

  13. VMware ESX Server EMC CLARiiON CX3-80 Storage Fabric VMware VMware and EMC: Meeting Extreme Storage Needs • When do you need 100K IOPS on a single ESX Server? • 200K Microsoft Exchange mailboxes • 85 average four--way DBs • What does it take? • Nearly 500 disks • Three CX3-80s • 77 TB of disk space!
