Increasing Adoption of S erver Virtualization

VMs (finally) making inroadsinto the DC

The VM installed base was 2.9million in 2007 only about 7% of the total DC server market

Anticipated to be over 60% within 4years

Impact on server architectureVMs enable full usage of multicoreVMs driving higher memory and I/ O requirements

P arallel LAN S AN infrastructure:Currently many DC servers have 5+connections per server

Virtualization drives higher bandwidth to the

server Leads to an inefficient and costly

network infrastructure:Higher adapter and cabling costs

Plus downstream port costsMultiple fault domains; complex diagnostics
