Virtualization
What is VMware
Key features
Virtual and Physical Infrastructure
Resource Sharing
Comparison
Consolidation
Advantages
Installing VMware
3. Virtualization
Ability to run ‘multiple OS’ on a ‘single physical system’ and
share the underlying hardware resources
4. What is VMware
VMware is virtual machine software
Each virtual machine has its own set of virtual
hardware
Allows multiple virtual machines, operating systems
to run in isolation and side-by-side on the same
physical machine.
5. Without VMware
All require same power
All emits same heat
All require physical
space
Setup , Configuration
Maintenance, support…
6. With VMware
Flexibility
Operational Efficiency
Disaster Recovery
Optimizes the use of
Physical resources
Easy to configure
15. How does it works
Allows multiple operating system instances to run
concurrently within virtual machines on a single
computer
A virtualization layer is installed, which uses either a
hosted or hypervisor architecture
16. Comparison
Difficult to move or copy
Bound to a specific set of
hardware
Often has short life cycle
Requires personal contact
to upgrade hardware
Difficult to manage
remotely
Virtual Machine
• Easy to manage
• Isolated from other virtual
machines running on the
same physical hardware
• Insulated from physical-
hardware changes
Physical Machine
• Easy to move and copy
• Encapsulated into files
• Independent of physical
hardware
17. Consolidation
BEFORE VMware AFTER VMware
Servers
Storage
Network
Facilities
• 1000
• Direct Attach
• 3000 cables/ports
• 200 racks
• 400 power whips
• 50
• Tiered SAN and NAS
• 300 cables/ports
• 10 racks
• 20 power whips
19. Advantages
Reduce physical number of servers
Reduce Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
Increases efficiency
Beneficial to business needs
Security to each VM
