Slide 4: Why would HSP need Virtualization?
• Shared Hosting • Application Hosting • True VPS • Managed VPS • Dynamic Dedicated • Split Dedicated • Virtualized Infrastructure
! Availability (long time-to-recover) ! ! Resource Management (utilization) ! ! No customers isolation (failure impact) !
• SplitShared
• Software-asa-service

Slide 5: Virtualization management challenges
• Virtualization Benefits
– Availability
▪ Online Migration ▪ Online Backup/Restore
• Management Challenges
– 10s times more OS instances to manage – Configuration – Monitoring – Compliance with SLA – Allocate/adjust resources – Mass management – Integration with existing management system
– Resource Management
▪ On-the-fly allocation ▪ Resource pools delegation ▪ Optimize workloads
– Full Isolation & Security
▪ End-user Freedom
– Dynamic Provisioning
How to realize benefits of Virtualization and address management challenges?

Slide 22: Summary
• Realize the potential of Virtualization
– If you use Virtualization, you need Virtual Automation – PVA allows you to efficiently manage your virtual infrastructure
• Most of you already use pieces of PVA
– If you use Virtuozzo, you use some components of PVA – If you use Parallels Automation, you will use PVA
• Future of multi-virtualization management
– Virtuozzo and VM-based technologies compliment each other – Choose the right technology for the job – Parallels Virtual Automation will manage them all – TRANSPARENTLY!
