Vmware—通向云计算的最佳途径.ppt

vStorage Thin Provisioning optimizes storage costs through the most efficient use of storage in virtual environments. Storage requests more often than not are usually overestimated by users mostly to avoid having to go through the request/approval process. With vStorage Thin Provisioning, IT depts can now assure business users of storage space availability while deferring the actual costs of purchasing storage to when it is really needed. Full reporting and alerting on allocation and consumption ensure that virtual machines don’t really run out of storage, Storage VMotion and Volume Grow (next slide) ensure that virtual machines can either migrate to datastores with additional storage or volumes can be increased in size when consumption approaches allocation. * * * . VMware vSphere? 4 is the industry’s first cloud operating system, transforming datacenters into dramatically simplified cloud infrastructure and enabling the next generation of flexible, reliable IT services. VMware vCenter Server provides greater operational control of vSphere environments through automation and deep visibility into every level of virtual infrastructure. It scales to manage large environments and integrates with industry-leading systems management solutions for enterprise-wide system management. * * 虚拟化 VMSafe announced earlier in 2008, is a set of APIs that enable protection of VMs by a protection engine that : Works with the hypervisor to inspect a VM’s mem, cpu and storage from a higher privilege point Is isolated from the malware Covers all aspects of security – not limited to network or host. 虚拟化 VMSafe based products from our security partner ecosystem will work with 虚拟化 vSphere? editions to provide higher levels of security than even physical systems. A number of partners have demo-ed prototypes of products that use VMSAfe to protect their environments. MORE DETAIL Security solutions have an inherent problem. Protection engines are running in the same context as the malware
