……As one measure of this leadership, we announced that for the 16th consecutive year we were No. 1 in U.S. patents, with over 4,000 in Thats more than the total of Microsoft, HP, and Cisco combined. Consistent with the direction of our business, over 70 percent of our patents were for software and services…… Mark Loughridge, IBMs Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.

Cosa succede quando si virtualizza? Tuttavia, possono emergere nuove complessita Con i giusti strumenti le risorse virtualizzate possono essere facilmente create, aggiustate, mosse, clonate, monitorate e controllate Crescita rapida di risorse virtualizzate cross ambienti multipli Relazione delle risorse virtualizzate con il sottostante strato fisico Monitoraggio della salute e determinazione dei problemi tra infrastruttura fisica e virtualizzata Virtualization changes everything

Le maggiori sfide che i clienti hanno in testa Ho troppi servers da gestire, di fornitori diversi Non ho abbastanza potenza e capacita di raffreddamento nella mia server room da poter installare ancora server Il mio budget per la gestione dei server e molto facile che verra tagliato

Che cosa guida oggi il mercato ?? Si cerca la riduzione dei costi di acquisizione e operativi attraverso il deployment di workloads mission-critical su sistemi x86, guidando cosi la necessita di high availability I costi di gestione dei sistemi sono cresciuti sette volte piu rapidamente dei costi hardware 1 I costi di power & cooling sono pure cresciuti il business medio ora spende circa 50 cents di power & cooling per ogni dollaro speso di hardware 2 x86 processor technology diventa sempre piu potente e capace di far girare applicazioni di business piu grandi e piu sofisticate che aiutano a ridurre i costi dellIT I costi della gestione dei server stanno rapidamente superando leffettivo costo della vita dellhardware La proliferazione dei servers sta consumando prezioso spazio, consumando budget IT, consumando budget per impianti elettrici/di raffreddamento 1.

Proprieta delle macchina virtuali Hardware Independence Una macchina virtuale gira senza legami specifici con lHW Partizionamento Molteplici macchine virtuali girano simultaneamente su un singolo server/PC Isolamento/ Secure La macchina virtuale e isolata dal Host OS, e dalle altre VMs Incapsulamento Lintera VM e salvata in files. Puo essere spostata e/o copiata come un qualsiasi file

Maggior utilizzo dell HW Prima di VMwareDopo VMware La virtualizzazione permette il consolidamento di workloads da servers sottoutilizzati su un singolo server per ottenere un maggior utilizzo in piena sicurezza

I clienti virtualizzano per: consolidare risparmiare energia la flessibilita l alta affidabilita Anche per applicazioni particolari la continuita di servizio Anche durante gli aggiornamenti (es. SO, sw, fix per DB..) il D/R facilitato il costo di gestione basso

Regole per la Virtualizzazione Evitare gli Hot spot – Riducendo il rischio di più carichi di lavoro saturando un dato server –Se i server virtuali sono posizionati su più server di piccola dimensione (per esempio quatto macchine con 2 processori) piuttosto che su di un server più grande (per esempio un 8 processori) allora le richieste di risorse da un particolare workload possono saturare un dato server fisico mentre un altro sarebbe sottoutilizzato Un server condiviso ma di maggiore dimensione/potenza può evitare hot spot artificiali che impattano il livello di servizio (throughput e tempo di risposta). Disporre di risorse hardware stimando possibili carichi di lavoro futuri –Spesso è il caso di pianificare una nuova configurazione multi-sistema se le richieste di risorse da parte di alcuni sistemi/workload non sono noti con precisione. In questi casi si ha un gran vantaggio usando un server scalabile come x3850M2 per ospitare diversi server virtuali in modo da gestire le sorprese di un particolare sistema/workload senza acquisire altro hardware per il server o apportando modifiche fisiche. Capacità di soddisfare picchi di carico. –Con un grosso server piuttosto che con N server più piccoli, cè una grande probabilità che un processore sia libero in qualche intervallo di tempo per gestire picchi per qualsiasi aumento di carico.

Why Is Sizing Important?? There are so many sizing considerations, both the source and target Consider just the Source server –Average and Peak CPU utilization –Average and Peak memory utilization –Page Size and page extents –Disk I/O throughput –Network I/O throughput And now the Target server –CPU Utilization –Memory Utilization –Page size page extents –Disk I/O throughput Virtualization efforts are only successful if they are sized appropriately

Mancano i desktop …..

IBM Client Consolidation (CCON) – Muovere i workloads dai desktop ai datacenter ….… You are probably familiar with server consolidation using virtualization (SCON) Now consolidate desktop workloads onto servers using Client Consolidation (CCON) Three IBM approaches to CCON: –Shared Services: Server based applications or desktops deployed in shared services models such as Citrix, where users share a single OS –Virtual Client: uses virtualization of client OS and applications on servers to deliver client computing, specially integrated and priced for client workloads (VMware) –Workstation Blades: Uses workstation class hardware installed in the data center to host a connection to a thin client device. Typically, 1 blade per user. CCON Workstation Blades Shared Services Virtual Client (VCS)
