Introducing VirtualizationConfig and Architecture Challenges :Legacy application migration Test and developmentautomation Server consolidation Introducing VirtualizationConfig and Architecture Challenges


Introducing virtualization: Config & Architecture Challenges :Introducing virtualization: Config & Architecture Challenges Maintaining test / training environment Segmenting from production Quick rebuild / duplication Supporting legacy line-of-business applications on aging hardware Applications only supported on NT 4.0 Server sprawl “One server, one application”


Server Sprawl ... :Server Sprawl ... The Data-centre is FULL Full of under-utilized servers Greater wattage per unit area than ever Cooling at capacity In some places, electricity is maxed out We can’t all move to Iceland Companies worrying about environmental record


Hardware drivers :Hardware drivers Multi-core architectures can deliver their best with virtualization Many work loads are “a bit parallel” but not “Embarrassingly parallel” Processors are going “Embarrassingly parallel” Wattage goes up with Square of clock speed Moore’s law gains will give more cores,not faster clock speed Virtualization support on chip from Intel and AMD


Software maturity :Software maturity The need is there, the hardware is there ... Software is maturing too More than one credible player in the market We have moved beyond “Virtual PC” It’s not just the Virtualization technology... Management tools High availability Interoperability


Configuration and Architecture Virtual Server 2005 :VS works with Windows: Heartbeat from kernel/ scheduler Windows Device drivers Up to 32 host CPUs Up to 64GB host RAM VS leverages existing system storage, networking and security infrastructure Teamed NICs, teamed HBAs VS Standard Edition Optimized for Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition (2-4P/32GB) VS Enterprise Edition Optimized for Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition (<8P/64GB) Virtualization infrastructure VM monitor COM API Resource management WMI/event log integration Multiple Threaded Support Configuration and Architecture Virtual Server 2005 Guest OS: Runs all major x86 operating systems 3.6GB RAM 4 NICs 56.5TB storage (IDE -SCSI) 2-N failover MSCS clustering Industry-standard device models Intel 440BX motherboard DEC 21140 NIC S3 Trio64 SVGA IDE/ATAPI controller Adaptec 2940 SCSI controller Legacy devices KBD, Mouse etc No custom drivers needed


Configuration and Architecture Virtual Server Performance & scale :Configuration and Architecture Virtual Server Performance & scale R2 increasedScalability with 64-bit x64 hosts - 32-bit guests Windows Server 2003 Standard/Enterprise x64 Edition Windows XP Professional x64 Edition 64-bit port of VMM and service Better scaling from larger kernel address space x64 systems typically can have more RAM Increased Performance Improved shadow page table management Improved performance of guest process switchingand memory intensive application Early customer saw a 50% drop in CPU utilization


Virtual Server 2005 R2 interoperability :Virtual Server 2005 R2 interoperability Wider Guest OS support Linux VM Additions Additional guests supported Windows NT4 Windows Server 2000 Windows Server 2003 (& SP1) Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 Emulated Ethernet card supports PXE booting Integrates VMs into deployment infrastructure


Virtual Sever 2005 R2 – SP1 :Virtual Sever 2005 R2 – SP1 Hardware-assisted virtualization support (Intel VT / AMD Pacifica) Additional Guest and Host Operating Systems Support for greater than 64 virtual machines on x64-based hosts VHD Mount command-line tool and APIs Tested for interoperability with SCVMM Beta 2 RC Interoperability with Volume Shadow Copy Service. Service Publication using Active Directory Service Connection Points Host clustering whitepaper Virtual SCSI fix for Linux guests Larger default size for dynamically expanding virtual hard disks VMRC ActiveX control and Internet Explorer Security Zones API’s returns more operating system information


Configuration and Architecture Windows Server R2 EE Licensing (1) : Windows Server R2 Enterprise Edition INCLUDES 4 Instances Pre R2 License Model : Total: 5 Windows Licenses Windows Server R2 EE: Total: 1 License Configuration and Architecture Windows Server R2 EE Licensing (1)


Configuration and Architecture Windows Server R2 EE Licensing (2) :Library with 100 images of Windows 7 Servers running images (1 per server) License by “running instances” Pre R2 License model Total: 107 Windows Licenses New License rights: Total: 7 Windows Licenses Configuration and Architecture Windows Server R2 EE Licensing (2) Promotes the use of virtualization and a more dynamic data centre Create and store images as needed License the machine used instances


Application Licensing :Application Licensing App. Vendors beginning to account for virtualization E.g. Microsoft SQL ServerBizTalk® ServerISA ServerLicensed per virtual processor in virtual machines


Virtual Machine management :Virtual Machine management Microsoft System-Center Virtual Machine Manager Powershell applets, built on existing APIs to manage Servers, VMs and Libraries Scripting interface to support Data centre automation MMC user interface built on top V1 for VS2005-R2/SP1. New API in WSV 2008 – support in V2.

Offline Library – Organizing the Virtual Data Centre :Offline Library – Organizing the Virtual Data Centre Templates “sysprepped .VHDs” with associated hardware config standardizes deployment of new virtual machines Virtual Machines Manage non-running virtual machines Enabler to scheduled VM deployment and tear down Disks, ISO and Scripts Distributed architecture Multiple library servers put images near DFS replication for standard image distribution


Centralized Mgmt: Library of the Offline Building Blocks of Virtual Data Center :Centralized Mgmt: Library of the Offline Building Blocks of Virtual Data Center Templates contain both “Gold” image of software as well as hardware settings Offline Virtual Disks Offline Virtual Machines Scripts for post deployment configuration and customization


Consolidation onto Virtual Infrastructure :Consolidation onto Virtual Infrastructure Identification of consolidation candidates Integrated Operations Manager consolidation candidate report Consideration of peak vs. average performance Configurable report parameters Physical to Virtual Migration Not VSMT based, new VSS based P2V functionality Support for Windows 2000 Server, Windows 2003 Server, optimized for Windows 2003 and above Optimized network transport using BITS (Background Intelligent Transfer Service) that enables P2V at network speed No need to boot into PXE (W2K3 +) Wizard based or scripted via Powershell


Self-Service Portal – People Ready Virtual Infrastructure :Self-Service Portal – People Ready Virtual Infrastructure Web based interface Significant Controls for Managed Deployment End Users only able to engage with their VMs Users offered sets of templates for deployment Quotas set on resources by individual Optionally deployed Stale machines “retired” after lease expiration
