Agenda Solutions for Windows Server ® Virtualization Sizing, Deployment, and Management of Virtual Machines Virtual Machine Lifecycle Development and Management Server Virtualization with HP Servers
What Is Server Virtualization? Server Virtualization Server virtualization uses software to partition a physical server. Virtualization allows a single server to support multiple logical servers or virtual machines. What is Hyper-V™? Server role included with Windows Server ® 2008 that enables hypervisor-driven virtualization Hardware-specific requirements (AMD-V and Intel-VT)
Why Virtualize? More workloads on fewer servers for higher utilization Fewer physical servers save power and reduce management time Workloads can be moved between servers to optimize performance and reduce downtime X Consolidation Efficiency Flexibility Isolation Reduce hard dependencies between infrastructure domains 100% 80% 60% 40% 20% 0% Utilization
Server Trends Hardware Moving to multi-core Total cost of ownership (TCO) is key, power draw is critical Criteria: price, power, and performance Consider containers Virtualization and utilization Using every server at optimal capacity Monitor, measure, and manage 100% 80% 60% 40% 20% 0% Utilization

VM Lifecycle Development and Management Deployment of virtual machines alone is not a solution IT organizations failing to &quot;operationalize&quot; their approach toward virtual server investments should expect their TCO, as well as exposure, to significantly increase, not decrease! Virtual machines help you to recover from your mistakes… but not necessarily in preventing them!

VM Lifecycle Development and Management Configuration management is essential for virtualization Change and release management needed to control virtual machine sprawl Problem / Bug tracking is vital to prevent widespread virtual machine problems (especially when using parent/child virtual machines) Performance and capacity management to ensure that performance is real and sustained For large deployments, consider creating a “VM Factory” (a server-based development environment to create/develop/maintain virtual machines) Develop a Virtualization Strategy to mitigate these issues.

Which Applications Should Be Virtual? Review virtualization opportunities Develop a checklist for virtualization requirements and criteria Use a proof of concept (POC) / Pilot environment Monitor and manage virtual machine hosts to ensure requirements are met Consolidate applications in a virtual machine that doesn’t use the same system resources or isolate them in separate virtual machines Measure and test before and after deployments and migrations, both host and guests Test / verify Pilot Production Deploy, manage, and optimize Source: Gartner, Inc. “The Impact of Server Virtualization on IT Operations Processes and Organizations” by Cameron Haight, June 2008 Which Applications ? High utilization and high I/O >25% utilization and exceptions 15-20% utilization ERP / LOB high utilization Terminal Servers, Citrix, other thin client workloads File / Print Servers E-mail or Messaging Servers BI /Cognos workloads of mid-to-low utilization Directory Services, Domain Controllers Database Servers SharePoint servers w/mid-to-low utilization Gateways, controllers , Firewall Servers Heavily consolidated servers Security Servers w/mid-to-low utilizations Portals, Web/J2EE Web Servers Design virtual servers to meet your requirements

Editor's Notes

  1. Title : Momentum Webcast: HP Virtualization with Microsoft Hyper-V (Level 200)   Event ID: 1032383411 Join us for an introduction to Hewlett-Packard (HP) solutions using industry-standard ProLiant servers designed for Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V virtualization technology. Discover the benefits of deploying virtual machines on HP ProLiant servers, one of the best managed platforms in the industry. During the webcast, we provide server scenarios to help you determine which HP servers are right for your business virtualization needs. We give an overview of HP servers, network configurations, and storage solution architectures, and we discuss the manageability of virtual and physical servers using HP and Microsoft management tools. We also show example deployments of applications on HP servers. Presenters : Al Jimenez, Engineering Manager, HP, Eddie Martinez, Senior Solutions Engineer, HP, and Gualberto Huerta, Solutions Engineer, HP Al Jimenez is an engineering manager in the Hewlett-Packard (HP) Solution Alliances engineering organization. Al&apos;s team is responsible for Microsoft Internet business solutions for HP, which includes characterizing, understanding, and recommending Microsoft server solutions on HP ProLiant and HP BladeSystem servers. Since 1989, Al has worked for HP where he has designed and developed hardware and software, authored technical papers and presentations on Microsoft software and technology, and presented at and supported many Microsoft and HP customer events. Al has more than 30 years of industry experience, and he holds degrees in business management and engineering. He lives and works in Houston, Texas. Eddie Martinez is a senior solutions engineer in the Microsoft Solution Alliances engineering organization at Hewlett-Packard (HP). Since 1991, he has worked with HP in many capacities. Most recently, Eddie has been developing business solutions using Microsoft BizTalk Server on HP platforms and determining the manageability of these platforms and applications. Eddie has a bachelor&apos;s degree in business management, and he lives and works in Houston, Texas. Gualberto Huerta is a solutions engineer in the Microsoft Solution Alliances engineering organization at Hewlett-Packard (HP). He is responsible for creating deliverables that solve customer problems using HP products and services and Microsoft technologies. Gualberto&apos;s key job responsibility is performing the role of solutions engineer in the development of solutions and solutions deliverables. Gualberto has worked in the IT industry for 16 years and has been with HP since 2000, working as a pre-sales engineer and in technical business areas. He holds a bachelor&apos;s degree in business technical management and is currently pursuing a Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree. Gualberto lives and works in Houston, Texas. HP is a technology company that operates in more than 170 countries around the world. We explore how technology and services can help people and companies address their problems and challenges, and realize their possibilities, aspirations and dreams. We apply new thinking and ideas to create more simple, valuable and trusted experiences with technology, continuously improving the way our customers live and work. No other company offers as complete a technology product portfolio as HP. We provide infrastructure and business offerings that span from handheld devices to some of the world&apos;s most powerful supercomputer installations. We offer consumers a wide range of products and services from digital photography to digital entertainment and from computing to home printing. This comprehensive portfolio helps us match the right products, services and solutions to our customers&apos; specific needs. NOTE: In this presentation HP presents example deployment scenarios and system configurations and these may reflect specific deployments and workloads which may not exactly match a customer’s specific situation. HP therefore recommends that the reader implement a “proof-of-concept” deployment to determine exact solution and deployment details to meet their specific business need. © 2008 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.
