New Requirement for Opening Severity 1 Support Requests

VMware Global Support Services is committed to addressing critical support issues In order to ensure critical issues are being handled as effectively as possible we are changing the process for submitting Severity 1 support requests

Beginning on February 21 all Severity 1 support requests must be opened by calling technical support This will enable us to provide personalized real-time support during critical situations Customers with Web-only support programs such as Silver Support and Subscription Fusion Per Incident Support Complimentary Support and SDK will be able to open severity 2 3 and 4 support issues through the Web

VirtualCenter Availability OverviewHigh availability for VC is growing in importance

VC is now critical for customers running VMware in production

Current architecture has several potential points of failure

HA protects VC running in a VM against hardwareOS failures buthellip

Lacks application awareness WAN failover capability

~60 of customers run VC on a physical server

VC Federation wonrsquot address this for 2+ years

Competitive solutions are expensive complex and lack support for database WAN failover

Alternative solutions cost $8K and up for limited capability

vCSHB offers a compelling VC Availability solution

Proven technology supports SQL Exchange Blackberry availability

Provides rapid VC app and database failover on LAN or WAN

Spectrum of VC Availability Options

Filling the VC Availability amp geographic failover gap prior to Federated VC is a key opportunity for revenue generation amp competitive differentiation vs MSFT System Center VMM

Therersquos no embedded database for now but will be in GA version ndash currently it supports only Oracle but GA version will support Oracle DB2 and one of MySQL or PostgreSQL (yes there will be free option )

VI Client for Linux is not part of this project and will not be delivered together with GA of vCenter for Linux ndash VMware is now looking for options like unified client based on Adobe Flex for all platforms ndash accessible through web interface

Linux based vCenter will not support Guided Consolidation (incl Converter) guests customizations

All interfaces of vCenter remains the same ndash ie VI perl toolkit will works in the same way for both platforms

Add-on products like SRM will be delivered as virtual appliances based on Linux later on

vCenter Server for LINUX

Itrsquos written natively in C++ - no Windows environment emulation is in place

Itrsquos virtual appliance running CentOS 5 inside (recompiled RHEL5 stripped down of RedHat logos and trademarks)

Therersquos no embedded database for now but will be in GA version ndash currently it supports only Oracle but GA version will support Oracle DB2 and one of MySQL or PostgreSQL (yes there will be free option )

VI Client for Linux is not part of this project and will not be delivered together with GA of vCenter for Linux ndash VMware is now looking for options like unified client based on Adobe Flex for all platforms ndash accessible through web interface

Linux based vCenter will not support Guided Consolidation (incl Converter) guests customizations

All interfaces of vCenter remains the same ndash ie VI perl toolkit will works in the same way for both platforms

Add-on products like SRM will be delivered as virtual appliances based on Linux later on

Open Source VMFS driver

This driver enables read-only access to files and folders on partitions formatted with the Virtual Machine File System (VMFS) VMFS is a clustered file system that is used by the VMware ESX hosts to store virtual machines and virtual disk files

The VMFS driver is developed and maintained by fluid Operations and is included in upcoming releases of the eCloudManager product where it is used to allow enhanced features like offloaded backups of virtual machines hosted on VMware ESX hosts

The VMFS driver comes with a command line interface (CLI) to mount and analyze VMFS volumes The VMFS driver was tested on Linux and Windows based hosts but should work on any platform that supports Java
