Reference Architecture for Active System 1000 with VMware vSphere
Page 7
VMware vSphere 5.1 Update 1: VMware vSphere 5.1 Update 1 includes the ESXi™ hypervisor, as well as
vCenter™ Server, which is used to configure and manage VMware hosts. Key capabilities for the ESXi
Enterprise Plus license level include:
VMware vMotion™: VMware vMotion technology provides real-time migration of running virtual
machines (VM) from one host to another with no disruption or downtime.
VMware High Availability (HA): VMware HA provides high availability at the VM level. Upon
host failure, VMware HA automatically re-starts VMs on other physical hosts running ESXi.
VMware vSphere 5.1 Update 1 uses Fault Domain Manager (FDM) for High Availability.
VMware Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) and VMware Distributed Power Management
(DPM): VMware DRS technology enables vMotion to automatically achieve load balancing
according to resource requirements. When VMs in a DRS cluster need fewer resources, such as
during nights and weekends, DPM consolidates workloads onto fewer hosts and powers off the
rest to reduce power consumption.
VMware vCenter Update Manager: VMware vCenter Update Manager automates patch
management, enforcing compliance to patch standards for VMware ESXi hosts.
VMware Storage vMotion™: VMware Storage vMotion enables real-time migration of running VM
disks from one storage array to another with no disruption or downtime. It minimizes service
disruptions due to planned storage downtime previously incurred for rebalancing or retiring
storage arrays.
Host Profiles: Host Profiles standardize and simplify the deployment and management of
VMware ESXi host configurations. They capture and store validated configuration information,
including host compliance, networking, storage, and security settings.

Dell Active System Manager: Active System Manager is an intelligent and intuitive infrastructure and
workload manager. Active System Manager leverages templates to automate infrastructure
provisioning, on-boarding, and re-configuration, which greatly simplifies and speeds up the process,
and also significantly reduces errors associated with manual configuration. The result is better
infrastructure and workload quality with fewer configuration errors that can be costly.
The key capabilities of Dell Active System Manager are:
Template-Based Provisioning — Streamline and standardize workload deployments through
centralized capture and application of best practices and operational steps
Infrastructure Lifecycle Management — Discovery, inventory, configuration, provisioning, and
ongoing management of physical and virtual infrastructure
Resource Pooling and Dynamic Allocation — Create and manage physical and virtual resource
pools; efficiently schedule or allocate resources on-demand
End-To-End Automation — Multi-tier automation across physical (server, storage and network)
and virtual layers
Workflow Orchestration — Intelligent workflow orchestration engine for rapid physical and
virtual workload provisioning
