1 S5005 VIRTUALIZATION AN INTRO TO VIRTUALIZATION Jeremy Main Senior Solution Architect - GRID

2 Virtualization 101 AGENDA 1 Why virtualize 2 Why NVIDIA cares about virtualization 3 How to get started with GRID 2

3 SO WHY VIRTUALIZE: PHYSICAL WORLD VS. VIRTUAL WORLD Physical World Virtual World 1:1 1:1 1:1 1:1 1:1 1:1 Many:1

4 SO WHY VIRTUALIZE: ADVANTAGES Partitioning! Multiple OSes, sharing physical resources Portability! Copying, exporting or moving VMs is simple Security! Hardware is isolated from the OS

5 SO WHY VIRTUALIZE: BUT WHAT ABOUT DESKTOPS?! Resource management issues! High-end user demands! IT operations staff to manage it all! Business demands! End users demands

6 SO WHY VIRTUALIZE: AND WHAT ABOUT APPLICATIONS?! Application virtualization allows distribution of multiple copies of an application from a single physical server.! Typical solutions: Citrix Metaframe Presentation Server now XenApp VMware ThinApp, Remote Desktop Session Host (RDSH) Microsoft App-v Others

7 THE HOW: SERVERS, GOING FROM PHYSICAL TO VIRTUAL Physical Server Virtual Server Virtual Server! Same hardware! Tiny hypervisor! Flexibility! Scalability! Security! Recoverability Hypervisor of choice Same Physical Hardware

THE HOW: DESKTOPS, GOING FROM PHYSICAL TO

8 THE HOW: DESKTOPS, GOING FROM PHYSICAL TO VIRTUAL Physical Workstation Virtual Virtual Virtual Virtual Virtual Virtual Virtual Workstation Hypervisor of choice! Server hardware! Density math! Like VM s Flexibility Scalability Security Recoverability Server Physical Hardware

9 WHY DOES NVIDIA CARE? CPU VS. GPU GPU Accelerator CPU Optimized for Serial Tasks Optimized for Many Parallel Tasks! Physical CPU in host Shared Doing networking NOT a GPU!! Impacts density!

10 WHY DOES NVIDIA CARE? VISUAL REALISM AND ACCURACY Complex materials surfaces, reflections and shadows Fast and Interactive Performance Without GPU With GPU

11 SEGMENTING THE USER POPULATION DESIGNER POWER USER Tier 1 (e.g. design engineers) Designing / Rendering 3D High Definition Graphics KNOWLEDGE WORKER Tier 2 (viewing/editing of 3D drawings) Viewing or working with 3D HD Graphics Tier 3 (typical knowledge workers) Becoming more visual!

12 DESIGNER IMPORTANCE OF GPU POWER USER VIRTUAL WORKSTATION Nice to Have GPU Needs GPU 3D Engineering & Design Apps Office Productivity PLM & Volume Design KNOWLEDGE WORKER VDI / Virtual App Windows 7 Web

13 DELIVERING GPU: THE MISSING INGREDIENT FOR VDI!! NVIDIA Quadro for professional graphics The trusted industry standard ISVs look for NVIDIA driver! All users expect a great visual experience!! The challenge: How to deliver in a virtual environment? Avoid physical desktop issues Take advantage of virtual benefits

16 HOW TO FAIL VDI Ten ways to make your VDI deployment fail 1. Believing desktop and server virtualization are the same 2. Doing too much 3. Not knowing why you're virtualizing 4. Forgetting the user environment 5. Hanging on to bad habits 6. Misjudging how your VDI deployment will scale 7. Misunderstanding Microsoft licensing 8. Thinking a VDI deployment will save you money 9. Not working together 10. Underestimating virtual desktop requirements 16

26 FEEDBACK FROM THE FIELD More than 600 proof of concepts " Involve Citrix/VMware expert (e.g. VAR, Citrix, VMware) " Don t optimize during proof of concept/pilot it s all about the user experience " Be realistic about user densities - this is not task worker world " Set up success criteria " You will fail w/o defining a clear goal " Know what you want to accomplish " Use GRID qualified servers " Don t try to do your own bake/upgrade - use OEM integrated servers " Be on latest firmware (SBIOS & VBIOS) " Plan for different sets of servers for production & development 26
