Virtualization widely-adopted for non-critical applications

Increased pressure to continue virtualizing

Business critical applications are infrequently virtualized

Introducing Symantec ApplicationHA

Why is the last mile so tough?

Today’s Solutions are Not Enough

– Protection for physical, not application failures

– Workarounds eliminate vMotion and DRS

– Do nothing no longer is an option

Need for Efficient Storage Management

Virtualization Can Create Storage Challenges

VirtualStore 11

• Scaling the number of VMs means scaling the number of VM images

• Data in each image is duplicated

• Growing storage capacity is expensive and complicated

Inefficient Storage Use

• End user experience degrades when VDI users log-in en masse

• Improving performance is expensive and complicated

Poor I/O Performance

VMware

Optimize Your Storage in VMware Environments VirtualStore

12

Improve Performance

• Scale performance easily and cost effectively

• Provision virtual machines faster

• Improve boot-up times for virtual desktops

• Scale storage easily with existing or commodity storage

• Store space optimized VM/VD snapshots

• Deploy thin provisioning and storage tiering

• Manage storage from vCenter and eliminate the need for additional management tools

Reduce Storage Costs Manage Easily

VirtualStore Overview

VirtualStore 13

• Scalable, high performance Clustered NAS solution running on Solaris, Solaris x86 or RHEL 5

• File serving performance scales linearly with each VirtualStore head

• Patented cache optimization packs more virtual machines into a single NAS head to deliver faster boot times and improved user experience

• Space optimized snapshots reduce storage footprint by only capturing iterations to original VM/virtual desktop image

• Supports major storage platforms to enable commodity or multiple vendor storage strategies

• Centrally managed through VMware vCenter
