  1. Virtualization Scenarios

  2. Tools & Techniques • Virtualization Hypervisor • Physical to Virtual Conversion Software • Storage Area Network (SAN) • iSCSI or Fiber Channel SAN Connection • Storage Management (LUN) • Backup & Disaster Recovery RPO & RTO

  3. Small Office Virtualization • Single file server • Server out of warranty & out of space • Additional services required • Accounting server • Terminal server • Intranet • etc

  4. Small Office Virtualization Benefits Risks Adds complexity Need to adjust backup plan Single point of failure • Preserve existing server • Expand HW capacity • Minimal user disruption • Lower HW Costs • Adds flexibility

  5. Server Consolidation • 2-6 existing physical servers • Increasing application requirements • Maxing out electrical system • Maxing out cooling system

  6. Server Consolidation Benefits Risks Solution needs to be appropriately designed Consider backup & disaster recovery requirements Adds complexity • Lowered Hardware Costs • Reduced Warranty Expense • Reduced Energy Consumption • Improved HW utilization

  7. Enterprise Virtualization • Appropriate starting at 4-8 physical servers • High Availability • Flexible and expandable • Dedicated IT staff • Significant investment

  8. Enterprise Virtualization Benefits Risks Software costs Complexity • Lowered Hardware Costs • Reduced Warranty Expense • Reduced Energy Consumption • Improved HW utilization • High availability • Flexibility
