Data Center Challenges
Scaling operations and infrastructure
By 2009:
ƒ 65% of enterprises will be using x86 server
virtualization
ƒ 45% of x86 servers will be virtualized
ƒ Percent of virtualized workloads will double
each year through 2012
Moving Beyond Consolidation
ƒ VM portability, Security and Visibility
ƒ High Availability and Continuous operations
ƒ “Anywhere” Applications

Is Server Virtualization the solution?
ƒ Security, Network Segregation, Isolation
ƒ Capacity Control (Resource Management)
ƒ What happens to other resources (non server or
storage)?
ƒ Live Migration Problems?
CPU Type, 64-bit OS/HW, HBA/NICs
Unplanned Downtime?
ƒ Recovery?
Using SRM with SRA
What happens to network?
