…but so are Server mgmt and Admin Costs

The Appeal of Server Virtualization• Reduced costs • Reduced complexity• Simplified management• Addresses fault / disaster recovery

needs• Better utilizes IT resources

What Are the Pitfalls• Virtual Machine

Overload

• Failure to Manage

• Cultural Resistance

SOURCE: Server virtualization: planning and pitfallsBy Garry Kranz, Contributor - SearchDataCenter.com

Why Cloud Computing• The next paradigm

• Significant Benefits

– Shift Capex to Opex– Increase Agility– IT at the Speed of Business

Private Cloud Computing is Real

• I believe that enterprises will spend more money building private cloud computing services over the next three years than buying services from cloud computing providers

– Thomas Brittman, Gartner, 2/5/2009, Private Cloud Computing is Real – Get Over it

AppZero – Server-side App Virtualization – TCO Impact

• SW Consolidation– Fewer OS Images to manage

• No more silos– Fewer OS Instances to manage

• Homogeneous/Heterogeneous SW Consolidation of VAA within OS

– Fewer App Images to manage• Sharing & Reuse delivers single point of patch for common sw

architecture elements

• App Mobility– Frictionless movement thru lifecycle – less cost to move – Reduced regression testing requirements – VAA state doesn’t

change– Burst into *Cloud as/when required.

VAA

A Virtual Application Appliance ( VAA ) is a collection of files

that includes Everything the App needs … but with

VAAs benefits• Applications and workloads are:

– Contained as one unit reducing provision and configuration errors– Isolation removes conflicts between apps increasing app density– Scalable by provisioning up and down form the network increasing agility– Movable from data center to cloud to cloud to data center -No cloud lock-in– Cloud ready

• “Gold application image” and shared VAAs– Fast way to prepare apps for the cloud – Only changed VAAs need to be synchronized agile cloud life-cycle – App runtimes/configs are consistent and automatable enhancing compliance– No changes to application, management tools leveraging existing frameworks

• The pay off– Fastest way to move existing apps to any cloud speed– Fastest way to replicate apps and keep them synchronized low SW TCO– Fast way to move apps out of the cloud to data center flexibility– Speed of provisioning makes for ultimate flexibility competitive advantage

What’s the role of Server-Side App Virtualization in *Cloud?

Server-Side App Virtualization can be utilized for Your Apps in IaaS Clouds, can be used to construct a PaaS cloud, or used by MSP/ISV to create multi-tenant Saas Offerings.
