3. TODAY'S TOPICS - GET THINGS DONE
Get in - some words about virtualization (even for you as pros)
Get it run - different ways to manage virtual environments
Get openQRMed - what is it, what can it do for you
Get it seen - openQRM demo and workshop
Get it asked - Q&A time
6. WHAT IS VIRTUALIZATION
It is not a new technology!
Simplified:
Summarize (computing) resources and run multiple systems or
customers on the same equipment
Already mainframes came along with logical partitions (e.g.
LPARs)
Vmware knew how to establish a market for x86 virtualization
solutions
Xen and other Open-Source projects followed
7. VIRTUALIZATION MODELS
Operation system-level virtualization
- guest systems share one kernel with host system
Emulation
- guest systems have their own „virtual“ processor
Para-virtualization
- guest systems „know“ that they are virtual
Full-virtualization
- guest systems are „applications“ and have their own little world
8. IS IT A MARKET?
IDC-Report Server Virtualization Survey 2008:
‣ "Over the half of all server spendings will be
virtualized."
In easy words: Hell yeah it is!
10. FOR WHO IS IT GOOD FOR?!

16. WHAT IS THE CLOUD?
Definition:
Clouds are hardware-based services
offering compute, network and storage capacity where:
Hardware management is highly abstracted from the
buyer
Buyers incur infrastructure costs as variable OPEX
Infrastructure capacity is highly elastic (up or down)
