The Challenge:IT Creating Better Business Outcomes

With Virtualisation…

More workloads on fewer servers for higher

utilisation

Fewer physical servers save power and reduce management time

Workloads can be moved between servers to optimise performance and

reduce downtime

Virtualisation Usage Model:Server consolidationServer consolidation with virtualisation allows more applications to be combined on a single server than physical consolidation alone, while increasing service levels to the business and reducing hardware, power, cooling, and floor space costs by up to 50%-70%.

Application Consolidation

Run 10+ on a single server

CPU Utilisation Increase up to 500%

Lower Costs Reduce power & cooling

Provision in minutes, not days

Expansion Dynamic addition of new virtual server for business needs

Legacy Applications

Extend the lifecycle if running on older operating systems

Server Consolidation Customer ExampleConsolidation Results

• Servers: 1000 80 92%• HBAs: 500 160 68%• SAN Switches: 22 8 63%• Network Switches: 84 10 88%• Computing Power (kW): 407 52 87%• Cooling Power (kW): 509 64 87%• Real Estate (sq ft): 2053 257 88%

Per Workload Savings Over 3 Years• Server Hardware: 39,529 SEK • SAN Components: 1,971 SEK • Network: 2,011 SEK • Computing Power: 5,158 SEK • Cooling Power: 6,449 SEK • Real Estate: 2,929 SEK

TOTAL: 58,046 SEK per workload Converted from USD to local currency

Virtualisation Usage Model:Virtual Desktop Initiative (VDI)Desktop virtualisation centrally hosts and delivers a cost-efficient desktop environment from within the datacenter by consolidating many physical desktops onto a single server.

Dynamic reallocation of desktop connections

Industry standard everything

Leveraging familiar hardware, management and virtualisation tools

Security Application and data centrally located, complete user isolation

VDI Customer ExampleDistrict School Board of Collier County, Florida

Background• Fast growing county in

Southwest Florida− Naples is largest city (315K)

• 43,000 students and 5,000 staff− 2,000 new students each

year

• 44 schools

• 21,000 desktop computers− Initially virtualising about

7,000− Graphics-intensive

applications

• Concerned with costs of supporting multiple images across multiple sites

Implementation• 500 ProLiant BL35p servers

− 4 GB memory per server

• SAN-based storage

• HP clients

• HP RGS Protocol

• VMware Infrastructure (VI3)

• Softricity SoftGrid

Virtualisation Usage Model:Disaster Recovery/High AvailabilityVirtualisation offers customers a cost-effective solution to quickly recover operations in the event of a disaster.

Existing Hardware

Redeployed as heterogeneous failover server

No More 1:1 Ratio

Ratio can be 1:Many

Quick Recovery

Software/virtual vs. hardware

Disaster Tolerance

Via SAN instead of asynchronous data “snapshots”

Security Application and data centrally located, complete user isolation

Virtualisation Usage Model:Test and DevelopmentVirtualisation provides a wide range of test platforms with minimal hardware, while allowing developers to create a specific environment to more quickly and easily capture and reproduce software defects.

Lower Costs For capital equipment and operating budgets

Ease of Creation

Test beds created & stored with multiple OSes & older versions

Easier Defect Management across Multiple Sites

Software defects can be captured in situ for easier analysis and replicated to other locations, even outsourced developers

Virtualisation Challenges• Impact Danger! –

Single Server Failure• Virtual and Physical

servers – Must manage both!

• People Skills Sets – 2 kinds required (physical & virtual)

• Experience needed! Consolidation can be hard work

• Business resistance to changes in processes
