• WW 5.1 million data centers, Costs $100-175M to build a large DC 2007
– ~$1005/Sqft, $40,000/Rack, $2,500/Server, 2.5U– 82% of installed equipment (Srvr,Stg,Ntwk) has only10% utilizn.– For every $1 invested in new IT infrastructure, $7 spent to maintain– For every $1 in new Server spending, 42c spent on Power & Cooling /2006– Virtual Servers growth outstrip Physical servers by 50% > Rise in managing VM– Blades increasing Power/Rack by 10x Need Power/Cooling, Weight, Solutions to pursue
• Consolidation– IT in Mega Data Centers, Data & Video Info Vaults at SPs
• Remote Offices, Global Reach, Always On– 66% of Enterprise workforce has remote location independent capability– Always On 24/7, Continuous Availability Mandatory
• New Technologies Necessary - a Competitive Weapon– Hi Density Blades, Multicore CPUs, Industry Std Computing Infrastructure, TB Disks,– Fast Networks: 10GbE, MPLS; Global Reach– Convergence (Voice Video, Data): Unified Communications, VoIP– Mobility & Wireless
• Focus – Focus on IT Services and not IT Resources or Infrastructure– Rise of Cloud Computing and SaaS, SOA in its wake– Complex Systems Interdependencies growing exponentially can create system wide instabilities– Automation of Low-Level Risks to free up on Initiatives aligning IT (CIO) to Business (CEO)

Workloads Consolidation using VZ
Source: Dan Olds
• A single server 1.5x larger than standard 2-way server will handle consolidated load of 6 servers.• VZ manages the workloads + important apps get the compute resources they need automatically w/o operator intervention.• Physical consolidation of 15-20:1 is easily possible• Reasonable goal for VZ x86 servers – 40-50% utilization on large systems (>4way), rising as dual/quad core processors becomes available• Savings result in Real Estate, Power & Cooling, High Availability, Hardware, Management

Hypervisor Model
Features• A single OS hosts multiple applications.• VZ layer handles resource allocation between applications• VZ layer also provides protection to the host OS so that a misbehaving application does not cause problems for the system as a wholeMajor Players - SWSoft, Sun/Containers
