2. Introducing Symantec ApplicationHA & VirtualStore
• ApplicationHA
– Virtualize business-critical applications with confidence
– Monitor applications in VMs and automate recovery
– Manage within vCenter
• VirtualStore
– Reduce storage costs caused by virtual sprawl
– Provision VMs and virtual desktops faster
– Manage within vCenter

Virtualization adoption
 Virtualization widely-adopted
IIS WebLogic SQL, Oracle
for non-critical applications
Apache WebSphere SAP
Print File Exchange  Increased pressure to continue
virtualizing
 Business critical applications
are infrequently virtualized

4. Why is the last mile so tough?
Need for Availability
Key challenges in managing virtualized servers1 “Customers have issues with apps failing
inside the guest… The market is lacking a

solution”
Ensuring Application Availability 51% – joint Symantec-VMware partner
Coordinating new deployments 41%
and upgrades Today’s Solutions are Not Enough
Managing unanticipated cost 42% – Protection for physical, not
increases
application failures
Overcoming existing allocation,
purchasing and budget practices 29% – Workarounds eliminate vMotion
and DRS
Compensating for the lack of
32% – Do nothing no longer is an
integrated management tools
option
How do you confidently virtualize business critical applications?

11. Virtualization Can Create Storage Challenges
Inefficient Storage Use Poor I/O Performance
VMware
• Scaling the number of VMs means • End user experience degrades when VDI
scaling the number of VM images users log-in en masse
• Data in each image is duplicated • Improving performance is expensive and
• Growing storage capacity is expensive complicated
and complicated

12. Optimize Your Storage in VMware Environments
VirtualStore
Improve Performance Reduce Storage Costs Manage Easily
• Scale performance easily and • Scale storage easily with • Manage storage from
cost effectively existing or commodity vCenter and eliminate the
• Provision virtual machines storage need for additional
faster • Store space optimized management tools
• Improve boot-up times for VM/VD snapshots
virtual desktops • Deploy thin provisioning and
storage tiering

13. VirtualStore Overview
Scale-out NAS Solution for VMware
• Scalable, high performance Clustered NAS ESX Servers
solution running on Solaris, Solaris x86 or
NFS
RHEL 5
• File serving performance scales linearly
with each VirtualStore head …
• Patented cache optimization packs more
VirtualStore
virtual machines into a single NAS head to
deliver faster boot times and improved
user experience SAN
• Space optimized snapshots reduce storage
footprint by only capturing iterations to
original VM/virtual desktop image
• Supports major storage platforms to
enable commodity or multiple vendor
storage strategies
• Centrally managed through VMware
vCenter
