Market

Virtualization is fastest growing technology in the data center z $1B market in 2006 z Up $618 from 2005 z Estimated to be a $2B market by 2008

Analysts estimate that only 5% of servers are virtualized z Expected to rise to 15% by 2011 Breakdown of deployments z Development : 61% z Non Critical workloads : 47% z Critical workloads : 33% 3

Economics

Red Hat eliminates the economic barriers to adopting virtualization enterprise wide

With Red Hat Enterprise Linux virtualization comes at no additional cost

Virtualize any system without added investment z Run on your existing hardware z No costs for virtualization software z No extra subscription costs for “guest” virtual machines z RHEL subscription provides 4 virtual guest subscriptions z RHEL AP provides unlimited guest subscriptions

Allows customer to deploy virtualization anywhere With Red Hat there is no penalty for Virtualization 4

Performance and Scalability Red Hat provides the most scalable Virtualization platform z z

z

Scales from single CPU servers to largest multi core machines The only virtualization platform that spans the entire enterprise z From x86 up to Itanium2 Scales to meet the needs of enterprise class workloads z Supports up to 32 virtual CPUs per guest z Supports up to 1024 cores per host z Up to 16GB memory per guest z Up to 16TB of memory per host z Dynamically allocate resources to respond to business needs z Add memory or CPU resources on-the-fly z Scale-up or scale-down resources z Live Migrate servers to take advantage of unused resources 5

Benefits of Red Hat Virtualization „

RHEL 5 provides the most scalable and flexible Virtualization platform z

Allows organizations to virtualize all work loads z Provides the highest performing virtualization solution z Removes barriers to virtualizing high performance enterprise applications

z

Provides 'best of breed' solution for Linux virtualization

z

No additional hardware and software investment

z

Reduces complexity z Use consistent tools to deploy, manage and deploy your entire infrastructure z Deploy a single platform that covers all your virtualization need z Includes support for Windows XP, 2000 and 2003 20

Security Your

virtual machines are only as secure as their host

10%

of servers use RHEL – this well proven system is the same as our virt host.

Red

Hat has a proven track record for providing a secure operating environment

Since

VMware is proprietary there are much fewer eyes on the code, and the days of risk are not shared.

All RHEL Security Issues are fixed within 72 hours of discovery,
