Why Virtualization?

Customer Challenges

Power and cooling constraints are very real issues

Underutilized, inefficient systems

are limiting business growth

Disaster recovery planning is

non-negotiable

Ability to deploy new services is

critical toremain competitive

Energy costs are draining the bottom

line

Sprawling IT infrastructure is

increasingly hardto manage

Why do People look to Virtualization

• Server Sprawl: particularly Microsoft: 1 OS/1 App.• Legacy OS and application support• SLAs: consolidate yet maintain and/or enhance SLAs• Environmental issues: heat, power, cooling, footprint• Utilization: raise average platform utilization• Disaster Recovery• TCO: Support costs for aging servers• Simplify platforms and infrastructure• Flexibility: time to deploy, agile, dynamic data center• Security

System Virtualization- Goals

• Drive up Server utilization> Consolidate multiple (underutilized) physical servers onto single

physical server

• Drive down hardware, infrastructure and administrative costs> Eliminate server sprawl – reduce power/cooling requirements> Reduce expensive I/O “connection point” costs

• Reduce Data Center complexity> Increase server availability> Increase Server Admin efficiency

XXXXXXXChallenge

Solution

Results

• Replaced 14 x86 servers with 1 Sun Fire T2000 reducing space requirement from 14 U to 2U.

• Sun Fire T2000 8 core / 8GB system delivers 13.5X more operations per second running MySQL

• Previous power requirements of 3.5kW were reduced to 275 watts*

• Improve customer response times while reducing costs• Increase performance to meet customer demand• Reduce complexity of existing High Availability infrastructure• Reduce data center power and heat

• Improved customer experience and quality at lower costs than the competition• Reduced operational costs and doubled data center capacity• 50 - 75% operational savings • 13x power savings in 1/7th of the footprint • Simplified High Availability environment

Summary

• Virtualization a strongly growing market> Diverse technologies and issues> No one technology fits all

• Understand customers requirements> Develop solution appropriately

• Only Sun brings together all the pieces• Next Steps

Next Steps
