Get More from Server Virtualization
0 likes472 views
This document summarizes a webinar about getting more from server virtualization by using application virtualization. It discusses the benefits of server virtualization, but also the potential pitfalls like overloading virtual machines. Application virtualization with AppZero virtual application appliances (VAAs) is presented as a way to address these issues by isolating and consolidating applications, reducing software lifecycle costs, and improving mobility between servers, datacenters, and clouds. Using VAAs allows for easier application patching, updating, and management overall.
![What Are the Pitfalls
• Virtual Machine – “We virtualized servers
but didn't get rid of them.
Overload We still have all the
management and
maintenance issues you
• Failure to Manage have to contend with
when not really
consolidating the
(physical) servers," Niraj
Patel - GMAC.
– "There's no point in going
to a platform like VMware
if your cost of operations
is [going to be]
increased," Phil Dawson -
Gartner.

- 9. What Are the Pitfalls • Virtual Machine – "They set up virtual Overload servers to test new applications and keep setting them up and setting them up – until the server blows up because they didn't put a limit on how many virtual servers could be placed on a physical machine“ - Rick Villars IDC SOURCE: Server virtualization: planning and pitfallsBy Garry Kranz, Contributor - SearchDataCenter.com

What’s the benefit of Sharing/Reuse? – If I Support 1000 servers ( real or virtual or cloud ) … • 2 Versions of AppServer • 2 Versions of DB • 2 Versions of OS – 500 servers are OS1, the other 500 are OS2 – 500 servers are DB1, the other 500 are DB2 – 250 Servers on OS1 are AppServer 1, 250 AppServer 2 – 250 Servers on OS2 are AppServer 1, 250 AppServer 2 • Traditional Approach • With VAA…. – OS or DB Update – 4 VAA • 1 for each DB Version • Crawl thru 500-1000 Machines • 1 for each AppServer Version – 2 Gold OS Image – AppServer Update • Crawl thru 250-500 Machines • OS or DB Update – Update 1 or 2 Images/VAA • AppServer Update – Update 1 or 2 VAA Reducing the number of things to manage thru the lifecycle simplifies operations and reduces costs ( customers say by 80% or more )
- 32. Tap the App: Patch/Update AppZero VAA Virtual Machines Virtualization doesn’t change how OS/App Patches are Managed – Software TCO is the same Single point of Fewer OS application Images to patch/update maintain – Lowers SW Lowers SW TCO TCO
