A typical VMware Customer…
• Consolidation Results• Less Servers: 1000
100• Less HBAs: 500
160• Less SAN Switches: 22
8• Less Network Switches: 84
10• Less Computing Power (kW): 407
52• Cooling Power (kW): 509
64• Real Estate (sq ft): 2053 257
A Typical VMware Customer…
100 2-socket, dual-core servers running VMware Infrastructure 3
1,000 applications/virtual machines
Consolidation ratio of 5 VMs per physical processor
50 GB of storage on average per virtual machine (50 TB of storage total)
Each physical server consumes 1.4kW/hr of energy costing $1368/yr in terms of power and cooling @ $0.11 per kWh
By upgrading to VMware vSphere 4 this customer will:•Save additional $575,599 annually or $1,726,678 over 3 years•Free up more than half person/year in sys admin time•Reduce business downtime by additional 30 min a year
VI3 Benefits
VMotion – Avoided downtime due to planned server maintenance
Storage VMotion – Avoided planned storage downtime
HA – Simple cost effective high availability
DRS – Automated monitoring and load balancing
= $ 450,000
= $ 430,000
= $ 480,000
= $ 390,000
Assumptions: • 6 updates per physical server per year• 1 storage move every 3 years• 2 failures per 10 server cluster per year• Avoided over-provisioning/admin time in monitoring servers for load balancing

VMware vSphere™ - The Best Choice for your Business
VMware’s higher consolidation ratios, higher scalability get better CapEx
VMware’s vServices and vCenter capabilities lead to better OpEx
VMware unique technologies like DRS, DPM, FT, chargeback, AppSpeed, VMsafe, host profiles, Storage vMotion, others allow IT to deliver on SLAs
while controlling costs
VMware strives to support whatever hardware, application stack, management stack, OS, or service provider the customer has selected
VMware strategy: Remain neutral so the customer has maximum choice
…to cut capital & operational costs
by up to 50% for all applications
…while automating & guaranteeing quality
of service
Efficiency Control Choice
…for flexibility in SW stack, HW, & service
