The document discusses BLADE Network Technologies' VMready product, which provides virtual machine aware networking capabilities that allow network administrators to configure and manage virtual machine network traffic, ensuring network connectivity and security when virtual machines migrate between physical servers. VMready integrates with VMware vCenter to automate configuration of virtual switches and provide visibility of virtual machine information. The VMready switch module from BLADE Network Technologies brings these virtualization-aware networking features to the HP BladeSystem through firmware upgrades.

1. VMready™ product update for BLADEOS 6.1 BLADE Network Technologies | Confidential

2. Overview of Server Virtualization 2

4. Virtualization increases the utilization and efficiency of Data Center resources by running applications on less hardware

5. Saves Purchase cost

6. Saves Energy cost

7. Virtual Machines can be moved between physical servers for improved availability, maintenance and provisioningVirtual Machine Virtual Machine Virtual Machine Hypervisor Physical Server

8. Current Virtualization market players VMware™ VMware is the current market leader in server virtualization. Their flagship product vSphere provides the infrastructure and management solutions for large enterprise level virtual environments Xen Xen is an open-source hypervisor that is available for Linux and Solaris operating systems. Citrix XenServer™ is a commercial and fully supported Xen hypervisor Microsoft Microsoft’s Hyper-V™ (hypervisor) product runs on Windows 2008 Server™ and is provided with the server software. It supports Microsoft guest virtual machines and some non-Microsoft [Linux] guest operating systems. KVM Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) is a hypervisor that is rapidly gaining interest. KVM is part of the Linux kernel since 2.6.20 and provides native virtualization on Intel VT and AMD-V CPUs Oracle VM Oracle VM is a Xen based hypervisor that is fully supported by Oracle 2/2/2010 BLADE Network Technologies Confidential 4

19. BLADE OS 6.1 delivers next gen VMready VMready shipped Feb 09 with SmartConnect 41.1 SmartConnect 41.1 provides : VMready Stacking Layer 2 BLADE OS 6.1 adds VMready to L2/L3 release BLADE OS 6.1 provides : VMready with VMware vCenter integration Layer 2 Layer 3 2/2/2010 BLADE Network Technologies Confidential 10

20. The problem Data Centers are rapidly evolving to virtualized environments Multiple VMs per server VMs becoming mobile to meet dynamic workloads Traditional switches are blind to VM-specific traffic Can neither monitor nor manage Virtual Machine traffic Network Engineers lack tools to troubleshoot VM traffic VM mobility risks exposing security holes 2/2/2010 BLADE Network Technologies Confidential 11

21. The Solution Virtual Machine Aware Networking: VMready Measure and manage VM traffic Assign network parameters per Virtual Machine Consistent network settings during VM migrations Switch Resident code – nothing to change on the server Works with all hypervisors Shipping in production since Feb 2009 BLADE OS 6.1 provides 2nd gen VMready with VMware integration 12

23. Configuration per physical port only

24. No flexibility for unique VM needs

26. Configuration per virtual port

27. Automated Network mobility

28. Configuration follows Virtual Machines in real-time during migration13

31. Disconnected users

32. Disconnected customers

33. Overworked network adminsUsers get disconnected Data becomes unprotected Customers locked out 14

36. Usable

37. Easy

38. Automatic network configuration

39. Enables Dynamic data centers VMready switch Users can access Data and Apps Data is protected from unauthorized access Customers 15

40. Integration with VMware vCenter Virtual Machine 3 Virtual Machine 4 Virtual Machine 1 Virtual Machine 2 ESX 2 hypervisor ESX 1 hypervisor Virtual Switch Virtual Switch VMready Switch G1 VM1, VM3 vCenter server G2 VM2, VM4 Integrates with VMware vCenter Can automate the creation of port groups on ESX vSwitches Ensures ensure network settings are consistent VMready also polls vCenter for VM info such as VM names, location 16

42. VM Detection: VMready switch automatically discovers and identifies the Virtual Machines (VMs)

43. VM groups – Groups of similar VMs: dedicated switch resources, isolation from other VMs

44. N-Motion™ - Automatic configuration of Ethernet switches in real time to facilitate network I/O for migrated VMs

45. Integration with VMware vCenter

46. Single pane of management both VMready switches and ESX vSwitches

47. VM network configurations can be exported from VMready to vCenter

48. Rich display of VM information such as IP addresses, VM name and ESX server location

49. Dynamic Provisioning of VMs

50. VMs can be configured in advance

51. Smoothes P2V transition

52. Accounting and Auditing

53. VM Migration is detected by VMready and reported

54. Traffic per VM can be audited
