Key features of VMware virtualization

Hardware Independence

Run a virtual machine on anyserver without modification

Partitioning

Run multiple virtual machinessimultaneously on a

single physical server

Isolation

Each virtual machine is isolatedfrom other virtual machines

on the same server

Encapsulation

Virtual machines encapsulateentire systems (hardware

configuration, operating system,apps) in files

What is VMware ESXi?

Thin architecture

Unparalleled security and reliability

Compact 32MB footprint

Only OS-independent design focused on

virtualization

Integrated in server systems

Easiest way to deploy and manage

virtualization

Hardware is certified and ready-to-run

Intuitive start up experience that dramatically

reduces deployment time

Optimized for central management

Next generation, thin hypervisor integrated in server systems


19/34

Requirements for Hardware Integration

Hardware-like security, reliability

(MTBF), and manageability

Infrequent reconfiguration and little

state information

Small footprint and minimal

interfaces

Architectural Benefits

Unmatched security and reliability

OS independence means minimal interfaces and a small attack profile

Locked down, menu-driven interface prevents users from running

arbitrary code

Simplified management

No special operating system knowledge required (e.g. Linux)

No user accounts or passwords to create and maintain

No OS security hardening, antivirus, or backup effort required

Integrated, standards-based CIM providers for hardware management

Fully featured and high performing VMware ESXi supports all the functionality of

VMware Infrastructure 3


24/34

Management without the Service Console

VMware ESX users today use theService Console for

VMware ESXi users will use

Command line management or

executing custom scripts (e.g. for newserver deployment or patches)

Remote Command Line Interface

(Remote CLI)

Running hardware agents for

performance and health monitoring

Industry standard monitoring protocols;

e.g., agent-less management via CIM

Running other 3rd party agents

ISV solutions that leverage standard

interfaces, the VI API, and VMware

Consolidated Backup

VMware ESXi continues trend of migrating management functionality from the ServiceConsole to remote management tools

VCB and Backup

VMware Consolidated

Backup (VCB) interface

Move backup out of the

virtual machine

Eliminate backup traffic on

the local area network

Deployment of VMware ESXi

Many users today use Service Console scripts for installation

and configuration of ESX Server hosts

With VMware ESXi

No installation required hardware integrated, ready-to-run

Configuration automation detection, discovery, and gooddefaults

Remote CLI for additional configuration / customization


27/34

2727

Patching and Upgrading of VMware ESXi

Patching Today with VMwareESX

Patches are fine-grained

Users employ esx-update to

install ESX Server patches

With VMware ESXi

Patch consists of whole

image replacement

Patch can applied via Remote

CLI or through Update Utility

Back out of patches with a

dual bank approach

Partitions servers to create the most robust foundation for adynamic, automated data center

What does it do?

Supports all the VMware Infrastructure 3 features andbenefits

How do youuse it?

All the sophistication of VMware ESX and VI3 for thevirtual infrastructure power user

Simple and intuitive start-up experience for the new

virtualization user

Who can use it?

Next generation, thin architecture provides improvedsecurity, reliability, and simplified management

Server integration provides rapid installation,configuration, and deployment

What is unique?

Next generation, thin hypervisor integrated in server

hardware

What is it?
