Virtualization Overview

Virtualization, in computing, is the creation of a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, such as a hardware platform, operating system, a storage device or network resources.

What is Virtualization?
Virtualization is a technology developed IBM for their Mainframe. That allows you to transform hardware into software. Virtualization allows you to run multiple operating systems simultaneously on a single computer. Each copy of an operating system is installed into a virtual machine.

WHAT IS VIRTUALIZATION?

Virtualization is a technology that transforms hardware into software. Virtualization allows you to run multiple operating systems as virtual machines on a single computer. > Each copy of an operating system is installed into a virtual machine. Virtualization is not >Simulation >Emulation

Three Key Properties of Virtualization

Partitioning
Run multiple operating systems on one physical machine Fully utilize server resources Support high availability by clustering virtual machines

Isolation
Isolate faults and security at the virtual-machine level Dynamically control CPU, memory, disk and network resources per virtual machine Guarantee service levels

Encapsulation
Encapsulate the entire state of the virtual machine in hardware-independent files Save the virtual machine state as a snapshot in time Re-use or transfer whole virtual machines with a simple file copy

Virtualization: Fundamentally Better

Run several operating systems on a single machine. Create shared pools of resources to optimize your infrastructure.

Hardware

VMware provides hardware virtualization that presents a complete x86 platform to the virtual machine Allows multiple applications to run in isolation within virtual machines on the same physical machine Virtualization provides direct access to the hardware resources to give you much greater performance than software emulation

Hosted vs. Native Virtualization

HostedVMware Player, VMware (Workstation,

Server, ACE, VMware Server) Device support is inherited from host operating system for maximum hardware compatibility Virtualization installs like an application rather than like an operating system Can run alongside conventional applications

Native (ESX Server)

Maximum performance with lowest overhead using certified hardware Highly efficient direct I/O pass-through architecture for network and disk Highly secure micro-kernel virtualization layer only 100Ks of lines of code versus 1025 million lines of host operating system code Advanced features like VMotion available

Simplified License Management in vSphere 4

Simple license keys instead of flex

- 1 license per edition - 1 key for many hosts

New centralized license key administration in vCenter

- No separate license server to manage or monitor - Centralized host and license monitoring through vCenter enabling easy compliance

New license portal provides more accurate view of entitlement

Improved Activation Process

VI3 License Activation Is Failure-prone
Too many steps and context changes Customers have many opportunities to get confused or take wrong turns License files are the result of a long, multi-step portal transaction Complexity illustrated: 40 pages in VI3 admin/install guide devoted to licensing

Go to license portal

Choose server or host-based file

Download or email license file

Upload license file

Configure licensing in VC/ESX UI

0
Receive activation code in email

2
Generate new license file

4
Select license qualities to activate

6
Install license server if needed

8
Re-read license file to server

10
Product activated

A Dramatically Simpler Process In VI4

A short and easy activation process was the single most important design requirement License keys are sent in email and can be copied directly into the product no portal activation step required No separate license server means no additional installation, configuration or monitoring is required

Receive license keys in email

Enter license key into VC UI

Assign license key to ESX hosts
