Step 1 – Blueprint / Topology
• We choose VM Ware as software to virtualise, because:– It has a proven track in our business– It is mature today– It is well supported globally
• Why not Xen (at the time being)?– Less in line with our functional requirements– Far weaker proven track in our business
• Why not Microsoft’s Hyper-V?– No proven track– Requires us to pioneer => the opposite of our customers’ needs
Step 2 – Define & Invite
• Key Selection Criteria• Service availability
(customer centric)• Recovery speed• Continuity assurance
• Scalability• Spare parts• Compatibility
• High ROI• FTE reduced• Energy consumption
• Manageability• Support automation• Notification &
reporting
Availability Flexibility
CostSupport
• Stability• Capacity & performance
– Scalability– Usability (raw to effective capacity)– Throughput speed– Redundancy
• Manageability• Compatibility with hosted applications• ISCSI
• Additional softwaree.g. snapshot, replicator, back-up,
monitoring, management, reporting• Power consumption• Cooling• Quotation by 3rd parties (operations)• Official benchmark reports• Reference cases
• Specific selection criteria domains for storage
Step 2 – Define & Invite
Step 3 – Evaluate & Compare
We virtualized because ...
• Our products & services support our customers’ business growth. We are to ensure them:– High availability & continuity– Performance & scalability– Rapid recovery capability
• We are a profit company, so:– Customer satisfaction is KEY– Ratio “cost/benefit” is important to us– Value for money, today and over the next 3 years
