3. Agenda
• What is Virtualization
• Virtualization Software
• Advantages of Virtualization
• vCloud
• Optimization and Performance
• Virtualization Architecture
• Q&A

4. What is Virtualization
• Virtualization is a creation of Virtual over an Actual Complete
Machine
• Virtual can be a Hardware Platform, Operating
System, Storage Device or Network Resource
• Virtual is a set of files, running programs on an actual, physical
machine (which the user need not necessarily be aware of)
• Virtualization is used to centralize administrative tasks while
improving scalability and overall hardware-resource utilization

5. Virtualization Software
• VMware Desktop & Enterprise Software
• VMware ESX and VMware ESXi
• Market leader in terms of virtualization management tools is
VMware
• Hyper-V Server 2008
• Windows Server 2008 R2 OS platform you can download
Hyper-V Server at no cost.
• Citrix Xen Server
• XenServer

6. Advantages of Virtualization
• Lower number of physical servers
• Implementing a server consolidation strategy
• Having each application within its own "virtual server"
• Standard virtual server, build many, easy duplication
• Deploy multiple operating systems
• Affordable Recovery
• Desktop Management Control
• Protect all applications running

7. vCloud
• Public Cloud: Management Software and infrastructure
technology to enable customers to move their applications to
the cloud.
• Hosted Cloud: Offer enterprise customers all the benefits of
cloud computing services—delivered on dedicated servers with
exclusive network access control to meet their requirements.
• On-Premise Cloud: Increase IT agility by hosting a private
cloud that gives your workers the flexibility they demand while
helping to optimize datacenter utilization.

8. vCloud
Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2)
• http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/
Web Service Provides Resizable Compute Capacity in Cloud. It
presents a true virtual computing environment.
• Allows you to obtain and configure with minimal friction
• Provides you with complete control of computing resource and
environment
• Variety of operating systems, custom applications and
environments

9. vCloud
Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2)
• Scalability upgrading as your computing requirements change
• Allowing you to pay only for capacity that you actually use
• Manage your network access permissions
• Elastic Virtual Images as you desire
• Run on Multiple Locations
• Reliable and Secure Service
