Operating System
VMware virtualization
3
Virtualization: Fundamentally Better
Run several operating systems
on a single machine.
4
Create shared pools of resources to
optimize your infrastructure.
ESX Server
Virtual Machines
 Virtualizes servers, storage
and network
 Runs multiple virtual machines
on the same server
ESX Server
 Only third generation hypervisor
Physical Server
 Production proven in more than
40,000 customer deployments
 Unparalleled reliability: more than
1,000 says of uptime and counting

Application Performance Benefits – an example
 Achieve 60,000 iops with ESX
Server 3.5
 Average across 15,000 Oracle
databases is 1280 iops
•
Average number is data collected from Capacity Planner which collects iops info throughout the day at regular sampling intervals
•
60,000 iops is equivalent to 60,000 Exchange users

Virtualization Platform Enhancements
Paravirtualization
Virtual Machines
ESX Server
Memory
 Paravirtualization is making the guest
OS virtualization aware and more
performant running on a hypervisor
 VMware led successful industry
collaboration effort to create a standard
interface - paravirt ops - that allows
standard Linux kernel (2.6.21) to be
VMware virtualization aware
 Ubuntu 7.04 now uses this interface
9
Network
 Enables Linux to run at higher performance by making it virtualization-aware
Storage
 Performance benefits seen for workloads
such as large databases, multi-process
apps
Paravirtualization Benefits
 Paravirtualization benefits workloads
when virtual machines are
Switching between several
different execution threads
Executing network and disk i/o
 Large databases, multi-process
applications, file servers, web
servers typically benefit from these
improvements
