A Balancing Act: Objectives and Resources
Business Demands
IT Challenges
• Customer Satisfaction
• CapEx & OpEx
• Revenue
• Service Level Agreements
• Cash flow
• IT Complexity

Challenges of Traditional Computing Environments
1:1 ratio of server/OS/application
• Low resource utilization across IT environment
• Server sprawl = Increasing cost and complexity
• Difficult to scale applications to keep up with demands
Keeping applications available, optimized
•
Silos of applications = silos of solutions for protection
•
A comprehensive BCDR solution can be multi tiered and complex
•
Lack of comprehensive visibility across the IT infrastructure
Cost and complexity restricts the solution
• Some applications are left unprotected
• No easy way to test = unpredictable results in the event of an outage
6
Top Technology Priorities
“While the majority of Global 1000 enterprises are heavily virtualized, many smaller enterprises
and those in emerging economies are still early in their virtualization effort.” — Gartner, 2012
Q. Which of the following initiatives are likely to be your IT
organization top technology priorities over the next 12 months?

Virtualization
Simple Application Protection
• Entire system – including application, OS,
and data – is stored as virtual machine files
• Simplify availability and data protection for
applications and virtual machines
Encapsulation
Cost-Efficient Infrastructure
Consolidation
vSphere
• Improve hardware utilization and reduce footprint
• Reduced hardware requirements at recovery site
• Use recovery hardware to run low-priority apps
Flexible Infrastructure
Hardware
Independence

vSphere
vSphere
• Leverage a pool of servers to avoid failures
• Eliminate need for identical hardware across
sites
• Enable waterfalling of equipment to recovery site

Why Should I Virtualize?
1. Reduce
the Complexity
2. Dramatically
Lower Costs
3. Enable Flexible, Agile
IT Service Delivery
to simplify operations
and maintenance
to redirect investment into
value-add opportunities
to meet and anticipate the
needs of the business
Drive IT Agility to Increase Business Value
14
How Do I Get Those Benefits?
Consolidation - One-time event that moves existing applications
onto a fewer number of servers
Containment - An ongoing effort to virtualize new applications
and manage growth of existing ones
Availability – Introducing virtualization to increase application
availability and data recoverability
…there are many more benefits of virtualization

VMware Virtualization Delivers Business Value
With vCenter Operations Management and
vSphere , TUI InfoTec was able to identify root
causes of IT issues, saving 70% on hardware
investments and reducing time to indentify
problems by 50%.
Within two years, Ducati infrastructure went from
zero-to-98% virtualized, all with no down time
and supporting a 3x increase in production.
With VMware virtualization, Myron Steves can
switch their business over to their backup
datacenter anytime and be up and running
within a few hours instead of days. And they
eliminated $400,000 service cost paid to a thirdparty disaster recovery service
