Dynamic Provisioning
1. FabricServer detects the need for a new
VM and instructs VMware to place a new
VM running a FabricServer engine

2. FabricServer provisions and configures
the application platform and application
run time within the new VM

5. 5
Simplify Configuration and Deployment
Centralize and automate complex configuration management
of application platforms
- Application platforms have complex system architectures that require
complex configuration management
Just-in-time Repurpose Virtual Machines
- Repurposes VMs just-in-time, for whatever application platforms are
needed
Benefit Metrics:
Build only templates, not virtual
machines:
 70% less effort in virtual machine
management
Only backup templates: not virtual
machine snapshots:
 70% less backup storage needed
Stop configuring application
platforms in dedicated VMs:
 30% fewer virtual machines active any
one time
 30% less expensive SAN/SCSI
storage and fewer servers
Plus you get:
 Better service levels
 Physical and virtual infrastructure
used simultaneously

6. 6
Manage Application Service Levels Dynamically
• Platform dynamically allocates resources based on demand and manage
• Activate appropriate type and number of Virtual Machines

7. 7
Value Proposition for VMware Customers
Time to Deploy
Challenge:
Provisioning and configuration of
enterprise applications is complex,
inconsistent and slow, typically taking
anywhere from 1 to 30 days, per setup
Weeks Minutes
Value Proposition:
DASM supports automatic
provisioning and configuration of an
enterprise application tier in minutes,
with absolute consistency
Server Utilization
App Silos Clouds
Challenge:
Every application project requires its
own resource pool, which wastes
money, delays routine activities and
stifles innovation
Value Proposition:
DASM enables multiple application
projects to use common resource
pools of physical and virtual
infrastructure
Performance / QOS
Challenge:
Ad-hoc approach to service
management makes it very difficult to
dynamically respond to changing
demand and resource availability
Value Proposition:
DASM integrates service management
with provisioning, configuration and
runtime control, to dynamically
respond to changing demand and
resource availability
