Drivers for Standardization are Emerging
“While we initially chose VMware virtual infrastructure to address development hardware problems by reducing hardware costs and decreasing server deployment time, we soon discovered additional benefits to adopting the technology, including server portability, protection, and availability.”

Customers Have Been Looking for a Better IT Management Model
Why can’t my data center be as easy to use as the USB port on my Macintosh? It’s plug and play, mix and match, multi-function, and it just works—every time, and on the fly. That’s what I want, I want a USB Data Center! Whoever figures that out, will really be on to something big…

VMware Update Manager
Eliminates manual tracking of patch levels of ESX Server hosts and virtual machinesAutomates enforcement of patch standardsReduces risk through snapshots and offline virtual machine patching
* Note: RHEL guests can only be scanned, not remediated
Automates patch management for ESX Server hosts and select Microsoft and RHEL virtual machines
Scans and remedies online as well as offline virtual machines* and online ESX Server hosts
Snapshots virtual machines prior to patching and allows rollback to snapshot

Performance Benefits
Standardization on virtualization benefits IT processes by:
Eliminating variability associated with physical hardwareReducing number of specific processes for “special” applications
Performance optimizations allow easy extension of virtualization in the datacenter to all applications

Average across 15,000 Oracle databases is 1280 iops
Average 4 CPU database iops is data collected from Capacity Planner which collects iops info throughout the day at regular sampling intervals
ESX Server i/o throughput is not a constraint for virtualizing most databases

Virtualization Platform Enhancements Paravirtualization
Enables Linux to run at higher perform-ance by making it virtualization-aware
Performance benefits seen for workloads such as large databases, multi-process apps
Paravirtualization is making the guest OS virtualization aware and more performant running on a hypervisor
VMware led successful industry collaboration effort to create a standard interface - paravirt ops - that allows standard Linux kernel (2.6.21) to be VMware virtualization aware
Ubuntu 7.04 now uses this interface

Paravirtualization Benefits
Paravirtualization benefits workloads when virtual machines are
Switching between several different execution threadsExecuting network and disk i/o
Large databases, multi-process applications, file servers, web servers typically benefit from these improvements
BT =Binary translation
VMI = VMware Para-virtualization interface
Guest OS used in the experiment: SLES 10 SP1, 2.6.16 VMI patched kernel
Virtual machine characteristics: 1 virtual cpu, 1GB memory
