Disclaimer • This session may contain product features that are currently under development. • This session/overview of the new technology represents no commitment from VMware to deliver these features in any generally available product. • Features are subject to change, and must not be included in contracts, purchase orders, or sales agreements of any kind. • Technical feasibility and market demand will affect final delivery. • Pricing and packaging for any new technologies or features discussed or presented have not been determined.

  3. Agenda • Overview of VMware Zimbra • Building ITaaS with vSphere • Zimbra Performance and Scalability • Zimbra User Experience • Key Takeaways

  4. Key Takeaway's • Plug and Play with todays cloud infrastructure of choice, VMware vSphere. • Designed for massive scalability and mailboxes without boundaries. • Policy driven administration and extensibility with 3rd Party Applications and APIs.

  5. Journey to IT Transformation – Accelerate and Amplify Enterprise Hybrid Cloud Cloud High Governance Low Governance Infrastructure focus Application focus Business focus Virtualization IT Production Business Production IT as a Service

  6. Building ITaaS with Zimbra User Experience Anywhere Access Application Cloud Scalability Virtualization Operations Hardware Independence

  7. VMware Zimbra 7 Product Overview iPhone BlackBerry Zimbra Web Client Zimbra Server BES, Browser Zimbra Desktop Tablets Android Windows SOAP ActiveSync, Mobile Browser Standards Clients Apple Desktop MS Outlook Exchange Server Active Directory MAPI POP, IMAP, CardDAV, CalDAV LDAP, WebDAV

  8. Hardware Independence User Experience Anywhere Access Application Cloud Scalability Virtualization Operations Hardware Independence

  9. Flexible Storage Options * Scale Out Storage, **Virtual Storage Appliance

  10. Flexible Storage Capabilities No limitations on storage technology No limitations on snapshot, replication, HA technology No limitations on de-duplication or auto-tiering technology Only recommendations for configuration and performance

  11. Zimbra + vSphere Solves IT Ops User Experience Anywhere Access Application Cloud Scalability Virtualization Operations Hardware Independence

  12. Integrated High Availability with vSphere • VMware HA, Application Monitoring API • Monitors Critical Zimbra Services • Sends heartbeat every 15 seconds • Protects all mail components • MBS, MTA, LDAP, Proxy, Archive, +3rd Party X Critical Zimbra Services Resource Pool VMware ESX VMware ESX VMware ESXi Operating Server Failed Server Operating Server

  13. High Availability Setup Step 1: start heartbeat on Zimbra VM /opt/zimbra/libexec/vmware-heartbeat start Step 2 : add heartbeat to startup scripts /etc/init.d/zimbra_heartbeat Step 3: enable app monitoring in vSphere Client

  14. Integrated Business Continuity with vSphere • Choose your RPO • ≥15 minutes – SRM with Host Based Replication • < 15 minutes – SRM with 3rd party HW/SW replication • Protects all mail components • MBS, MTA, LDAP, Proxy, Archive, +3rd Party • Test failover without production interruption Site A (Primary) Z MTA Z MBS Z Proxy Z LDAP VMware vSphere Servers Site B (Recovery) Site Recovery Manager

  15. Fine to Coarse Grain Backups with vSphere • Item Level • End user, Self service recovery • Admin enabled/disabled • Mailbox Level • D2D based built into Zimbra • No 3rd party agents or software required • Use 3rd party to vault to external media • VM Level • Snapshot backups using VMware Data Recovery • 3rd party HW/SW solutions using vStorage APIs • Crash consistency built into Zimbra

  16. Zimbra Application Architecture User Experience Anywhere Access Application Cloud Scalability Virtualization Operations Hardware Independence

  17. Mailbox Server (MBS) Architecture – Cloud Scale • Written in Java for high transactional throughput • Multiplex within single process, avoid process swapping and IPC • Low CPU utilization at scale • Efficient storage architecture to support Large (>30GB) mailboxes Zimbra Collaboration Server Message and File Store API DatabaseReliability Search Meta Data 3Rd PartyStorage System Zimbra Primary Zimbra Journaling Index DB Zimbra Secondary HSM

  18. Zimbra with NetApp NFS on vSphere • 10K user workload • 90 percent SOAP users, 10 percent IMAP users • 21 receive/hour, 7 send/hour (per user) • 120KB average message size • 25% messages with 500KB attachment • 100% Concurrency • Workload Requirements • 60-70% write IO for MBS • 1700 IOPS total for MBS • 200 IOPS total for MTA server Detailed MBS Storage Profile

  19. Scale Out on vSphere 5 • Result • 21% host CPU utilization @ 32K users. • Hypothesis: can double users per VM from 4K – 8K *Dell R910, 4 socket x 8 core x 2.27 GHz Xeon X7350 (Nehalem-EX), 256 GB

  20. 4K – 8K Performance Comparison • Result • Same compute resource footprint, double the users • Well within performance tolerance levels

  21. Virtual vs. Native Performance Comparison • Result • 97% of Native performance!! • Guest OS improvements • Dynamic hugepages allocated to applications (vs. fixed) • Tickless timer with on demand interrupts (vs. periodic query)

  22. Zimbra vs. Exchange: Compute Resources

  23. Admin and User Experience User Experience Anywhere Access Application Cloud Scalability Virtualization Operations Hardware Independence

  24. Simple Provisioning on VMware vSphere • NEW* Multi-instance Appliance • Install to Inbox in minutes • No OS installation or administration Demo

  25. Web Administration • ITaaS model • Web Administration – multi-platform multi-browser • Secure by design – application logging and monitoring • Class of service – manage services and configuration • Delegated Administrative model • Multi-tenant / multi-domain by design • External LDAP / AD integration • GAL per domain • SSO authentication ( SPNEGO/Kerberos, SAML, Oauth) per domain • Compliance • Zimbra Archiving and Discovery • Legal Hold and Cross Mailbox Search • Single Instance Storage Archive or Separate Server/Storage Demo

  26. Web Client Experience • Multi-platform / Multi-browser / Multi-Device • Location and device independent • AJAX / HTML5 (lead with the browser) • Zimlets • Large Mailboxes • Search • Backend architecture (metadata and blob store separation) • >30GB mailboxes Demo

  27. Key Takeaway's • Plug and Play with todays cloud infrastructure of choice, VMware vSphere. • Designed for massive scalability and mailboxes without boundaries. • Policy driven administration and extensibility with 3rd Party Applications and APIs.

  28. Q&A
