Power infrastructure is no longer a standalone item in your IT toolkit. Virtualization, connectivity and the cloud are having a profound impact on how power management is being integrated into the IT environment. Join Eaton to learn more about how these trends are shaping the future of power protection.

1. Virtualization, Connectivity and the Cloud Trends driving the future of power protection SpiceWorld - 2011 Austin, TX John McIlwain & Brian Cox

3. Key Customer Needs TCO Key Needs Why It Matters? Budgetary Concerns Constrained IT budgets are reality and IT managers are constantly being driven for better utilization of existing assets, especially in dynamic, virtual environments . Green Initiatives Green Initiatives are becoming the norm. IT managers are looking for ways to conserve energy and extend the useful life of equipment. Ease of Use / Time Simply things just need to work and not require a lot of setup. Additionally, time is one of the most limited assets an IT manager has. Anything that can be done to provide quick and pertinent information is key. Protection / Peace of mind The last thing an IT manager wants to worry about is power. Integrated Total Solution Gone are the days when a UPS can stand alone. Power protection is no longer about a battery in a box. It has to provide a way to operate as a integrated power management solution.

4. Market Drivers Drivers Why It Matters? Virtualization New requirements to manage multiple virtual servers during power events. More systems are riding on a single piece of hardware - single point of failure. Need to be able to balance loads and move virtual servers in the case of a power event. Manageability Need to remotely manage networks. Need alerts and updates when things go wrong or need maintenance Cloud Computing With the shift in resource demands inherent with cloud computing, the availability of networking equipment will be even more critical in order to access resources in the cloud. Integrated Total Solution Gone are the days when a UPS can stand alone. Power protection is no longer about a battery in a box. It has to provide a way to operate as a integrated power management solution.

5. Virtualization As A Game Changer

9. So what does virtualization have to do with power?

10. Virtualization As Driving Force Behind Power Management Paradigm Shift Power Management has to be Virtualization-centric Legacy Eaton UPS Monitoring   Outlet control   Server Shutdown   Virtual Host Shutdown   Cluster Shutdown  VM Live Migration  VM Fail-over Coming soon

11. Live Migration – to avoid power disruption Moves applications from server facing imminent power disruption to server with good power Nomenclature: vMotion – VMware, XenMotion – Citrix, Live Migration – Microsoft

12. VM Consolidation – Extends Run Time Suspend non-critical Virtual machines, Consolidate critical virtual machines Shut down un-used servers

13. VM Fail-over – Continual Uptime Suspend non-critical Virtual Machines “Fail-over” critical Virtual machines to an available cloud
