    Computing
    (The new IT frontier)

    By Matthew Bulat
    M.Eng.Tech MCSE MCDBA
    What is virtualisation?
    A host computer running isolated
    guest operating systems \
    applications
     A Virtual Machine (VM) is the
    representation of a physical machine
    by software
     VM can work independently of the
    host architecture
    Why Virtualization?
     Use hardware efficiently
     Save electricity at the
    server/UPS/cooling system
     Setup new computer projects quickly

     Run development systems up offline


    on desktop PC
     Save money on yearly hardware
    budgets
     Save space in computer room

     Less network hardware needed


    Who is involved?
     Linux and Xen project
     Microsoft and Virtual PC software

     VMWARE and multiple software


    systems
     Apple has virtualization built into
    OSX Leopard
     Sun systems
    Where is industry heading?
     Future server buying trends are
    forecasting virtualization will reduce
    need
     Green IT is becoming a hot issue

     The ability to perform constantly


    more with same hardware suits
    virtualization
    Virtualization possibilities
     8 CPU server
    Server  48 GB RAM
    with
     12 Virtual Machines
    Virtual
    Machines  780 Watts

     SAN with 7.5 TB


     840 Watts

    Storage  220 mm rack space


    Area  1620 Watts total
    Network
     ~ $93k in hardware
    Virtual Applications
     Install an application in a protected space
    with its own installation files and registry
     Allows multiple version of the same
    application to run side by side
     Test applications and remove them cleanly

     No more bloated registry and DLL hell

     Remotely deploy new applications very fast

     Applications available can be related to


    Group membership
    Software Virtualization Solution
    Virtual application deployment
    Apple and Windows
    Windows and Linux
    Virtual PC
    Virtual Server 2005 R2
     Works currently on top of Windows 2003
    Server (free download)
     Make virtual machines of legacy NT4 and
    Windows 2000 Servers on modern
    hardware
     64 virtual machines limit

     Each virtual machine is limited to 1 CPU

     Microsoft running over 1200 VMs on this


    Windows 2008 Server virtualization
     Up to 4 CPU can be used by a VM
     Support Linux VM
     Can use ISO images
     Built for server consolidation in mind
     Slow down server sprawl
     Get good utilization of servers
     Standard licences allows 4 virtual servers
     Datacentre licence allows unlimited VM
     Up to 32GB memory per VM supported
    Thin Clients
     Very quick to start
     Can be run locally or remotely

     Thin clients are secure, only use


    minimal power and do not need
    upgrading
     Centralise all storage requirements

     Only screen, mouse and keyboard


    changes on the network
    Thin Client Example
     Run 20-40 thin
    clients per server
     Full multimedia thin
    clients available
     Can use wireless,
    Ethernet, modem or
    3G card for
    connection
     Can also be used for
    VOIP telephony
     Use VPN connections
    Combine VMs and VOIP
    Linux Xen
     Citrix acquired Xen Source
     Products Citrix Xen Server / Xen Desktop
     Desktop VMs hosted at server
     64 bit hypervisor management for fast
    input output
     Up to 8 CPUs per VM
     Up to 32 GB RAM per VM
     VM can be moved between servers without
    downtime
     Supports Windows 2000/2003, Linux, XP
    VMWARE Workstation
     Supports 19 version of Windows and
    26 versions of Linux
     All VMs have VNC access
     Up to 8GB per VM
     Create whole desktop VMs
     Create VMs for USB devices
     Make VMs for use later on VM player
    or ESX server
     Great for development testing on VM
    VMWARE ACE desktop
    VMWARE ESX Server
     VMs can use up to 4 CPUs
     VMs can use up to 64GB memory
    each
     iSCSI, SAN, 4 GB Fibre SAN support

     Can use Ghost images of existing


    servers to make virtual machines
     Memory allocation to VMs can
    change with need
    V Motion
