  1. Virtualization Futures VMworld Europe 2008 Dr. Stephen Alan Herrod CTO and VP of R&D, VMware

  2. Agenda Where is Hardware Going Where is Software Going Connecting Computing Clouds

  3. Where is hardware going? • x86 continues to move upstream • Massive compute power available • Power usage grows even more critical • Highly-connected compute, networking, and storage • Emergence of high-speed, shared interconnects • Shared storage becomes less expensive and more pervasive • Networking and storage riding x86 improvement curve VMware transforms powerful, disparate hardware into Virtual Infrastructure

  9. Virtual Infrastructure Shared Resources for Server and Desktop Virtual Desktop Manager

  10. VMware Virtual Datacenter IT Service Delivery IT Service Continuity Infrastructure Optimization Desktop Management Management and Automation Virtual Infrastructure Platform ESX Server 3i Hypervisor

  11. Hypervisor Platform Direction • In a phase of tremendous innovation driven by: • Proliferation of cores and potential inefficiencies • Intel and AMD launches make 16+ core systems • Technology allows more workloads for virtualization • 2nd generation CPU and memory HW assist, I/O acceleration, Paravirtualization • Rapidly growing move to pervasive, mission-critical use • Requires huge focus on reliability and manageability • Thin architecture • Unparalleled security and reliability • Compact 32MB footprint • Only OS-independent design focused on virtualization • Integrated in server systems

  12. Virtual Infrastructure ESX Server 3i Brings Plug-and-Play Resources • Straight from the OEM to the Shared Resource Pool • Pre-installed • Pre-configured • Pre-certified ESX 3i ESX 3i ESX 3i

  13. VMware Virtual Datacenter IT Service Delivery IT Service Continuity Infrastructure Optimization Desktop Management Management and Automation Virtual Infrastructure Platform Virtualization Platforms/Hypervisor Hypervisor

  14. VMware Infrastructure Vision The Self-Optimizing, Self-Protecting Datacenter • Moves functionality traditionally considered “management” into the infrastructure • Any application gains the benefits, just by virtue of being in a VM • Provides new reasons to go virtual VMware HA VMware DPM Storage VMotion VMsafe VMware DRS

  15. VMware’s Virtual Datacenter Stack IT Service Delivery IT Service Continuity Infrastructure Optimization Desktop Management Management and Automation Virtual Infrastructure Platform Virtualization Platforms/Hypervisor Hypervisor

  16. IT Service Delivery IT Service Continuity Infrastructure Optimization Desktop Management Management and Automation Overview Provide the fastest way to provision and manage IT services Provide the most resilient and highly available compute platform Provide the easiest compute platform to deploy and operate Simplify enterprise desktop management through virtualization Update Manager Desktop Manager Stage Manager Site Recovery Manager Lab Manager

  17. Agenda Where is Hardware Going Where is Software Going Connecting Computing Clouds

  18. FIREWALL Virtual Appliance Virtualization Has Simplified Software • Easier to develop and test • Easier to deploy • Easier to protect • Virtual appliances have taken this even further Checkpoint Windows

  19. Where is software going? • More diversity in OS and application use • Simultaneous use of Linux, Solaris, and Windows farms • Customized open source stacks and diverse versions/distributions • Services becoming disaggregated and distributed • SOA leads to many more components in use • SaaS and hosted computing options growing • Management task becomes even more difficult • Need a way to normalize management approach • Can’t stifle software progress along the way

  20. Provisioning, Backup, Load Balancing, DR, … Process Process Process App Stack A App Stack C App Stack B DB2 9 Software’s Growing Management Complexity The same process must be executed differently depending on the hardware, OS, or application environment

  21. A logical IT Service provided as a collection of VMs Application and Infrastructure VMs Logical network connections Managed as a single-unit Treated as one entity (provisioning, backup) The right view for managing & achieving SLAs Normalization is Needed: vService IIS #1 Load Balancer Firewall Oracle IIS #2 E-commerce vService e-commerce vService Tomcat App Server

  22. vServices Provide a Better Unit of Management vService A vService B vService C Standard Software Containers App Stack A App Stack C App Stack B Virtual Infrastructure DB2 9 Physical Hardware Complex application stacks become standardized software containers • With common processes for management

  23. Agenda Where is Hardware Going Where is Software Going Connecting Computing Clouds

  24. VMware enables a local datacenter “cloud” On-demand capacity via DRS Self-healing and tolerant of hardware failures Applications seamlessly move between resources VMware enables hosting providers offer better services Hosted/SaaS offerings can be standard x86 applications On-demand capacity even more critical Offer customers add-on services of backup, DR, and security VMware’s Role in “Cloud Computing”

  25. VM and vService mobility goes even further Compute-, Network-, and Storage-VMotion Extending from the LAN to Wide-Area-Networks Manage vServices independently of where they run vService includes full state and infrastructure instructions Just as VMs separate software from hardware, vServices separate software and software management from the hardware Next Phase: Connecting the Datacenter Clouds

  26. Extends Virtual Infrastructure beyond a single datacenter Use secondary DR site for workload overflow Leverage other departments’/LOBs’ resources Rent resources from hosters when appropriate All while maintaining the IT Service SLA Next Phase: Connecting the Datacenter Clouds vService vService vService VM Virtual Infrastructure Virtual Infrastructure Secondary Datacenter Primary Datacenter Hosting Provider

  27. Summary • Virtual Infrastructure aggregates hardware into flexible resource pools and creates a truly virtual datacenter • Virtualization simplifies software management, and vServices extend this even further • Building upon VM mobility, virtual infrastructure, enables effective use of resources that are local or remote, owned or rented
