What is Virtualization?
• Virtualization is the pooling and sharing of IT
resources that includes: servers, storage, and
networking.
WHY VIRTUALIZE?
COST BENEFITS
• REDUCE HARDWARE COSTS BY AS MUCH AS 50%
• REDUCE TIME TO PROVISION NEW SERVERS UP
TO 70%
• REDUCE POWER CONSUMPTION - SAVINGS $500 $600 PER YEAR, PER SERVER
• MINIMIZE DOWNTIME ENSURING BUSINESS
CONTINUITY
VMware Virtualization
• HA / DRS
VMware HA allows virtual machines on failed
ESX server hosts to restart on another
ESX host. The DRS solution uses system
algorithms and user created rules to
determine optimal placement of virtual
machines
VMware Virtualization
(Contd.)
• VMotion
Ability to migrate a running VM from one
physical host to another without interruption
• Storage VMotion
Ability to migrate storage from one location to
another without server interruption
• VDI – virtual desktop infrastructure

• Site Recovery Manager
Guides users through the process of creating,
automating, and testing disaster recovery
plans for their virtual infrastructure

Accomplished
• Today DoITT has deployed over 500 Virtual
Machines on HP DL 585s running VI3
• Implemented VMware 3.5 and Virtual
Infrastructure 2.5
• We are averaging 25 to 30 VM’s per physical
host
Accomplished (Contd.)
•
•
Hosted applications:
- Web Applications
(Includes agencies public facing websites)
- SQL Database
- Blackberry
Lab Manager
Developers’ tool for rapid deployment of
test environment
Current
• Mission critical application deployment
• Citrix application delivery infrastructure –
testing phase
• Thin Clients
(Pilot test deployment of 50 Thin Clients
including the 311 Call Center)
DoITT’s Next Steps
• Exchange
• Enterprise Vault
• Business Continuity
DoITT’s Offerings
• Platespin / Power Recon
- Deployed in agencies for 30 days
- Create virtualization assessment with
software that measures, analyses and
determines the optimal fit between server
resource supply and workload demand
