Formerly a leading industry analyst who literally
wrote the definition of virtualization


agenda

1 Everyone has virtualization, but some are better than others

2 A lifecycle model for building virtualization maturity

3 Management ‘tipping points’, and other barriers to success

4 Actionable approaches to build virtualization maturity

5 CA Technologies Solutions, Summary, Q&A, Wrap-up


the outstanding promise of virtualization

Virtualization can deliver substantial ROI, greater
agility, improved continuity, and other business values

Agility Fast IT support for business innovation, transformation

Continuity Hardware redundancy, site recovery, live migration

ROI Hardware consolidation, power, rent, cooling, downtime


so everyone is deploying virtualisation – in part

• 75% of enterprises using virtualization in production
2008

• 76% of global CIOs undergoing or planning virtualization
2009

• 90% of businesses have implemented server virtualization
2010

Virtualization is now the top priority for most global CIOs
(up from number 3 the previous year)

but virtualization maturity is not all clear sailing

Additional challenges at every stage of the
virtualization lifecycle

Larger More dynamic More difficult Growing
deployments infrastructure to control production

More critical Pressure on Increasing
applications staff & skills LOB visibility


virtualization maturity challenges can lead to “VM Stall”


STOP STOP STOP

virtualization management tipping points

‘VM Stall’ – inability to overcome ‘tipping points’
needed to move the needle on virtualization maturity


the growing concern of ‘VM stall’

CIOs report a persistent difficulty in
expanding virtualization deployments

— 15-25% of workloads running in virtual servers (various analysts)
— 34% of total server infrastructure are virtual servers (CDW)
— 38% of mission-critical business services are virtualized (CIO.com)
— 30% of servers are virtualized on average (CA Technologies)


so … what’s the big deal?

Inability to expand virtualization maturity is
not just an academic issue

— Maximum benefit from virtualization is unrealised
— Failure to leverage virtualization investments
— Cannot compete with more agile businesses
— Leaving money (and other benefits) on the table


functional capabilities to overcome ‘VM stall’

Discovery, security, configuration, capacity, response, SLAs
Visibility Align performance, security, compliance with business policy

Of deployments, licences, facilities, service requests, etc.
Control Expand tier 1 apps, reduce costs, with existing staff

Meet response, continuity, experience, & uptime SLAs
Assurance Build LOB trust, compliance, satisfaction, and approval

Rapid provisioning, configuration, remediation, self-service
Automation Reduce skill burden, improve audit, reduce errors, add security


discover & record virtualization deployments


deep discovery and visibility into hosts and guests


not just systems, but applications …

Tracking of the virtual
machine to the host

Applications installed on
the virtual machines


… plus databases, middleware, networks, storage, security, etc.


… with deep and definable discovery, collection


… with relationship mapping between configuration items …

Virtual system to
physical parent system
relationship

Detailed relationship
information


… to create detailed inventory and differences records

Detailed inventory of
virtual systems and their
configurations


… while keeping up on resource utilization …


through easy-to-use visualization & topology maps


take control of replication, migration, & continuity


centralize control from a common dashboard


integrated dashboards ease skill requirements & burdens

Get all the information you need in
one dashboard
Copyright 2010, CA Technologies Select to drilldown and take action

beyond migration & monitoring – start taking action


flexibility to support multiple administrator skills, depts.


rich performance visibility, applications, traffic, response

Performance views of ESX Visibility into application
hosts and Virtual Machines traffic responsiveness
across ESX hosts


track performance, highlight events, trace incidents

Context sensitive launch
from topology map to rich
performance data

identify symptoms, track root causes, take rapid action

Alarms show high CPU
utilization and
degraded performance

Single root cause alarm
speeds triage, improves
“signal-to-noise”

Embedded expert advice,
allows rapid remediation,
problem prevention

assurance – not just historical, but real-time analysis


repeatable provisioning with reusable VM templates


deliver user control over resource needs, expose real costs

Dynamically change configurations


scheduled deprovisioning prevents VM sprawl too!


build repeatable processes with standardized packages


automate maintenance too e.g. compliance & policy checks

Discover servers & applications Schedule recurring tasks like
& group them into Services discovery, refresh, change
detection, compliance checks

Include Compliance Policy
control sets in scheduled
management profiles

automate remediation, not just monitoring/alerting


even automate assurance with IT process automation


and build maturity toward a dynamic, self-service data center
