Explains the VMWare of Virtualization

1. The VMWare View Virtualization Sanjoy Sanyal: Tech for Non Geek

4. Virtualization Concepts Sanjoy Sanyal: Tech for Non Geek Full (Transparent) Virtualization Paravirtualization Hardware Allows OSs to run inside virtual machines without modifications Requires OSs to be modified before it run inside the virtual machine Can provide explicit support for virtualization CPU Virtualization Memory Management I/O Virtualization Certain Operating Systems such as Windows cannot be modified. VMware has released the specifications of paravirtualization interface, the Virtual Machine Interface (VMI), The Open Source Xen project uses a modified Linux kernel. Intel’s VT and AMD’s Pacifica has hardware assisted virtualization as its aims

5. VMware product portfolio: Data Center Sanjoy Sanyal: Tech for Non Geek Vmware ESX Server is the building block of VMware Infrastructure VM Ware Product for DataCenters Description VMware Infrastructure Flagship product to build virtual data centers VMware ESX Server Hypervisor VMware Server Uses the Hosted Approach Vmware ESXi Free download VMware vCenter Management and provisioning of virtual machines, workload consolidation across physical machines

6. VMware Infrastructure: Virtual DataCenter OS Components : Application vServices guarantee availability, security and scalability to applications. Infrastructure vServices abstract, aggregate and allocate on-premise servers, storage and network Cloud vServices federate the on-premise infrastructure with third party cloud infrastructure. Management vServices help manage the virtual datacenter OS and the applications running on it. Sanjoy Sanyal: Tech for Non Geek

7. Virtual DataCenter OS: Products & Services Sanjoy Sanyal: Tech for Non Geek Application Services Function VMware VMotion Eliminates disruption through live migration of running VMs VMware Storage VMotion Eliminates disruption thru live migration of VM disk files across storage VMware HA Enables restart of virtual machines in the case of hardware failures VMware Consolidated BackUp Enables VM backup and restore VMware DRS Enables Priority based management of apps VMware vStorage VMFS Cluster file system that allows multiple versions of ESX server read-write access to the same virtual machine storage concurrently Management Services Function VMware vCenter AppSpeed Enables centralized applications management VMware vCenter Server Enables centralised management VMware vCenter Lifecycle Manager Enables policy driven provisioning and lifecycle management of virtual machines VMware vCenter Update Manager Enables automated enforcement of patch policies VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager Enables automated disaster recovery processes

8. VMware Product Portfolio: Desktop Sanjoy Sanyal: Tech for Non Geek VMware Product for Dektops Description VMware View Delivers desktops to users and not to a machine by decoupling a desktop image and the physical PC . Allows centralised management of desktops VMware Workstation Runs multiple operating systems simultaneously on a single physical machine. Runs multi-tier enterprise applications (client, server, database virtual machines) on a single piece of hardware. VMware Thin App Uses application virtualization to decouple applications from operating systems thereby allows an application on multiple operating systems without modification. Vmware ACE Provisions standardized client PC environments inside secure, centrally managed virtual machines called ACEs. Each ACE contains a complete client with device and network access control, there by protecting confidential data and compliance with IT polices. VMware Fusion (For the Mac) Allows Windows’ applications on Mac
