2. Virtualization Overview
Virtualization
Hypervisor abstracts traditional physical machine resources and
runs workloads as virtual machines (VMs)
VMs each run applications and guest OSes
S-2 Copyright © 2009 VMware, Inc. All rights reserved.

3. Virtualization Overview
Hypervisor
Partitions computing resources of a server
for multiple VMs
Hypervisors alone lack coordination for
higher availability and efficiency
VMware vSphere
VMware vSphere goes beyond basic host
partitioning by aggregating infrastructure
resources into a giant virtual computer
Serves as a dynamic OS for a private
internal cloud in your datacenter

Reducing the Cost of Downtime with VMware FT
VMware Fault Tolerance (FT) prevents revenue loss from mission-critical,
high-revenue
high revenue generating applications outages
Simplicity of configuration and reduced time & effort compared to hardware-
based solutions adds even more savings
For a 10 physical server, 150 VM environment, assume ~10% of VMs are protected by FT (15 VMs). 2
host failures in the cluster per year Lost revenue per minute of high-revenue apps can range from
year.
$2000-15000 per minute depending on type of transactions being processed.
