ESXi Migration
22
VMware ESXi: 3rd Generation Hypervisor Architecture
VMware GSX(VMware Server)
• Installs as an application
• Runs on a host OS
• Depends on OS for resource management
VMware ESXArchitecture
• Installs “bare metal”
• Relies on a Linux OS (Service Console) for running partner agents and scripting
VMware ESXi Architecture
• Installs “bare metal”
• Management tasks are moved outside of the hypervisor
VMware ESX
Service ConsoleVMware ESXi
2001 2003 2007
The ESXi architecture runs independently of a general purpose OS, simplifying hypervisor management and improving security.

How Does A User Plan an ESX to ESXi migration?
1. Visit the ESX and ESXi Info Center
2. Start testing ESXi
• If you’ve not already deployed, there’s no better time than the present
3. Ensure 3rd party solutions used by your customers are ESXi Ready
• Monitoring, backup, management, etc. Most already are.
• Bid farewell to agents!
4. Familiarize with ESXi remote management options
• Transition any scripts or automation that depended on the COS
• Powerful off-host scripting and automation using vCLI, PowerCLI, …
5. Plan an ESXi migration as part of vSphere upgrade
• Testing of ESXi architecture can be incorporated into overall vSphere testing

Selling Strategies in Detail
Selling Target
vSphere Package
Target and Rationale VMware Overall Objectives
Individual Users Hypervisor Individual users or groups with no virtualization
experience or awareness.
Get as many users to try VMware’s core virtualization product as possible. Upsell users from free product to paid product.
SMB Essential Kits and Standard
SMBs with basic IT sophistication, smaller environments, and price sensitivity. Some may need scale but not advanced features.Essentials Kits are at low price points, ideal for introductory purchases, and have a defined IT scale (up to 3 hosts).
Continue to gain market share with SMBs and provide them basic business continuity features. Grow small SMB customer segment and position for upsell/upgrade over time
Larger SMB Acceleration Kit
Customers new to virtualization. Single SKU bundle to simplify sales in the transactional channel. For SMBs to start a virtualized environment, with vCenter Standard to add additional capabilities (e.g., multi-site recovery)
Provide larger and growing SMBs an extensible management platform and a scalable virtualized infrastructure. Simplify the sales process with a discounted, single SKU bundle.
ROBO Essentials for ROBO
Retail and Branch Office environments with high price sensitivity and no need for advanced vSphere features used in datacenter environments. Most likely a enterprise-class customer that is extending beyond the data center.
Gain market share in the retail space (as well as other verticals) and prepare these customers for upsell to more advanced features in higher editions.
LargeEnterprise ENT and ENT+
Customers with high IT sophistication who are considering virtualization of mission critical workloads. Ent+ provides policy-based management, with the highest level of virtualization performance possible
Provide confidence to virtualize mission critical applications while guaranteeing SLA’s for larger VM’s and business critical applications.
