Cloud Overview3

Overview  Head in the Clouds, Feet on the Ground, Transforming IT Teams  Head in the Clouds   Is a cloud solution the right next step for IT services and solutions?   Cloud is next step beyond virtualization ala ‘pure virtual’   Many customers already adopting cloud, some for years on vSphere alone  Feet on the Ground   Solidify foundations for Cloud Computing (Physical/Virtual)   End-user/organization drives development   IT-as-a-Service Strategy  Transforming IT Teams   Increase business alignment (IT-as-a-Service partnership)   Move from virtualization to cloud   Training and/or Apprenticeship4 VMware Confidential

Overview  So why vCloud Director?  Enabler of Cloud   Multi-tenancy, Scalability, Supportability, Federation   Just as vSphere simplifies and enables complex infrastructure capabilities (HA, DRS, vMotion, sVMotion, SDRS, NIOC, SIOC, SRM etc,etc)   vCloud Director simplifies and makes reachable Cloud (vCloud API, vApps, self-service portal, multi-tenancy, VMRC, Fast Provisioning, vCloud Messaging, etc, etc)5 VMware Confidential

vCAT: Implementation Examples25

vCAT: VMware vCloud Implementation Examples Use as a reference for what a vCloud architecture design document might look like. We provide examples for Private and Public implementations. Both use a fictitious corporation “New Company or NewCo”. Provides architects and engineers with a reference implementation conforming to VMware best practices. Describes logical and physical design. Focuses on Infrastructure as a Service. Provides baseline that is extensible for future usage patterns. Based on vCloud Datacenter requirements.

vCAT: Hybrid Use Case29

vCAT: Hybrid VMware vCloud Use Case Use case example: Customer with Web presence. Needs to cloudburst front-end server farm due to incoming traffic spikes. Bridges Private and Public vCloud •  Outlines what customer can implement in terms of federating local private vCloud with a set of resource available in the public vCloud. •  Describes the potential of the hybrid concepts. Two scenarios covered: 1)  On-premise VMware vSphere environment. Customer wants to federate and extend local vSphere setup using public vCloud resources. 2)  On-premise private vCloud deployment. Customer wants to federate and extend private vCloud setup using public vCloud resources. Public vCloud (Service Provider) Basic definitions for a Cloud and information about the document toolkit.

vCAT: Hybrid VMware vCloud Use Case Both scenarios assume vCloud-based public vCloud as a remote, online resource, and covers: •  Subscribing to a public vCloud for capacity overflow •  Configuring secure connectivity to the public vCloud •  Triggering techniques for cloudburst into the public vCloud •  Cloning of the front-end logic •  Moving clones into the public vCloud •  Reconfiguring the infrastructure to drive end-user requests through the public vCloud resources •  Decommissioning public vCloud resources Public vCloud (Service Provider) Basic definitions for a Cloud and information about the document toolkit.

vCAT: Hybrid VMware vCloud Use Case Written more from consumption perspective than deployment perspective. Overview vSphere and Public vCloud Hybrid Scenario •  vSphere Private Resources & vCloud Public Resources •  Configuring Secure Connectivity to the Public vCloud •  Triggering Techniques for Cloudburst into the Public vCloud •  Scaling of the Front-End Logic •  Scaling Front-End into Public vCloud via VMware vCloud Connector •  Load Balancer Configuration •  Decommissioning Public Cloud Resources Private vCloud and Public vCloud Hybrid Scenario •  Private/Public Resources •  Configuring Security Connectivity •  Cloudburst Public vCloud (Service Provider) Basic definitions for a Cloud and information about the document •  Scaling Front-End Logic toolkit.

Overview – Quotes Related to vCAT Public Cloud Beneﬁts from vCAT “One client bootstrapped the architecture of their Public Cloud design based on our published materials. Without vCAT, they never would have been successful in building their Public Cloud offering.They are now a ‘vCloud Powered’ VSPP.” “For importance to the vCloud Data Center and vCloud Powered programs, vCAT is absolutely essential as it serves as the foundation for the design and architecture of VSPP Cloud environments.Without vCAT, it would be nearly impossible to offer technical validation of Service Providers wishing to partner with us on these programs.” – Jason Karnes, Cloud Architect VMworld Labs and vCAT “Max concurrent VMs was about 7000 with vApps in the 12-14 VM range. Some vApps had in excess of 30GB of RAM and 500GB of allocated storage (linked clones) with about 120GB used. We provisioned and destroyed 1 VM every 1.2 seconds during the show or around 4000 per hour.” – Curtis Pope, Cloud Architect 33 VMware Confidential
