Hosted by VMware: Software Partitioning What It Does • ESX: Machine interface kernel OS (unique drivers required) • GSX: OS-hosted partition manager (host OS drivers/tools utilized) • Consolidates many small workloads on SMP systems • Windows and Linux • Dynamically reallocates resources • Processors: any percentage • Network bandwidth: average/maximum • I/O bandwidth: average/maximum What It Doesn’t Do • Eliminate multiple OS administration • Eliminate multiple OS license costs Risks/Issues • ISV support risk (especially Microsoft) • Driver support (ESX) • Microsoft’s workload strategy Use When • Multiple underutilized single processor workloads • Benefit from dynamic allocation • Application isolation important • New OS images and applications need to be deployed quickly • Strong OEM relationship available • Without rapid ROI in mind • GSX: Flexibility, MS support critical • ESX: Performance critical Copyright © 2003, Gartner
Hosted by The Promise of WSRM What It Does • Not just processor “affinity” • Dynamically adjusted processor utilization (via priority-setting) • Dynamically set limits on physical and virtual memory use of processes • Exceeding memory limit results in choice of warning or termination • GUI, command line, scripting • Accounting data created • Unused resource dynamically reallocated What It Doesn’t Do • Manage I/O or network bandwidth • Eliminate existing application collision problems Risks/Issues • Compatibility testing needed • ISV support limited — with slow ramp up (little motivation) Use When • Vendors can certify compatibility (e. g. , all Microsoft) • Microsoft develops tools/guidelines for easy in-house testing • Isolation less critical than reducing administration costs • Applications are more CPU-bound than I/O-bound • Note: Availability 6/2003, but significant ISV support will lag by six to 18 months Copyright © 2003, Gartner

Recommendations Hosted by · 64 -Bit: Consider 64 -bit Windows as a niche solution for specific applications, not as a general-purpose growth path. · Availability: The best way to maximize Windows availability is through skills and processes. · Partitions: Enterprises should consider VMware for projects that can provide an ROI in two years or less, but which also have an exit strategy — for example, test and development, migration, product demonstrations or low-end server consolidations. · Mixed Workload: Consider WSRM use for applications that can be proven to run effectively in a mixed environment only. · Windows NT 4. 0: Enterprises should plan to migrate critical servers away from NT Server version 4. 0 by year-end 2004 at the latest. · Windows Server 2003: Enterprises should view Windows Server 2003 as a point release and “slipstream” it into current Windows 2000 migration programs accordingly (starting 2 H 03). · “Function Packs”: Enterprises should prepare for Microsoft starting to offer optional server function pack between releases. · Windows Blackcomb: Enterprises should not plan on major improvements in Windows consolidation until Blackcomb (by 1 H 07).
