The over-provisioning model used by data centers for years is unsustainable – and a new dynamic model is emerging driven by virtualization and automation. While these technologies aren’t necessarily new, IT departments must become competent and refine their skills in the use of virtualization and automation to contain costs as businesses continue to demand IT services. These slides are designed to help data center managers learn how to leverage these virtualization and automation technologies to create a business-driven data center that delivers new levels of service quality, efficiency, agility and risk reduction.

7. Defining Key Capabilities for a Dynamic Data Center Source: NIST Rapid Elasticity: Rapidly and elastically provision , automatically , to quickly scale out /rapidly released to quickly scale in Measured as a Service: Automatically control and optimize resource use by leveraging a metering capability at a level of abstraction appropriate to the type of service (e.g. bandwidth, user accounts). Resource usage can be monitored, controlled, and reported providing transparency for both service provider and consumer. Resource Pooling: Computing resources are pooled to serve multiple consumers using a multi-tenant model, with different physical and virtual resources dynamically assigned and reassigned according to consumer demand. On-Demand Self-Service : Consumer can unilaterally provision automatically without human interaction Broad Network Access: Available over network through standard mechanisms Pay per use Demand management Efficient use of assets Match business demand Business alignment Agility Efficient use of labor Standardized Cloud Characteristics per NIST Benefits

vCenter delivers comprehensive infrastructure management capabilities for virtual environments and also provides extensibility interfaces to enable it to plug into existing physical management frameworks, which work in concert to ensure service levels across all application components, whether they are physical or virtual VMware vCenter integrates with industry-leading systems management solutions for enterprise-wide system management giving IT the ability to protect their investment and training in existing tooling, while providing best of breed capabilities across the board. What’s new? The VMware Ready Management solution program provides customers with validated partner solutions that further simplify end-to-end physical and virtual management with assurance of interoperability and consistent support and documentation. This enables customers to more quickly deploy management solutions and drive new levels of agility and automation in the datacenter.
NIST is a good starting point for identifying the characteristics that define cloud computing. <build> Let’s boil that definition down to some essential activities IT needs to enable to operate like a cloud – Pool, Orchestrate, Self-Serve and Secure (note: could use bullets from previous version as talking points to explain what each of these elements mean, thus keeping this slide clean) And while NIST is a good definition, it’s not a recipe for success. I could define a house as a dwelling with four walls and a roof but it doesn’t tell me how to make it weatherproof, or that I need to pay my property taxes. <build> As we’ve said, although the benefits of cloud are revolutionary, the capabilities required are evolutionary. The same disciplines that you use to manage traditional services today can and should be used to manage services you deliver using a cloud model. And the same tools you use today can be extended to address unique cloud challenges. Indeed, you really need the same tools since operating a cloud isn’t distinct from your traditional IT – it’s an extension of it. <build>And these same disciplines and tools apply to how you consume services. For example, although business may consume Salesforce.com as a service, you are still responsible for security, so federated identity management and single-sign on should be extended to the cloud.. Today networking is essentially a cloud service you consume and make part of your services, but we’re going far beyond that. You may consume storage or compute power as a service, which then becomes part of some other hybrid or “multi-source” service you deliver to your end customer. Even SaaS applications like Salesforce.com are likely to be integrated with other services you offer, like accounting, to drive some higher level business service. And while you need to guarantee service levels to your customer, you also need to assure that external service providers are guaranteeing their service levels to you, so you can then assure the overall service level to your end consumers. <build> It’s increasingly rare that services you deliver will be completely provided and controlled by you. Your IT has increasingly become part of a value chain, and your ability to maximize value for the business and control costs will increasingly rely on extending your management to key control points across your value chain.

CA provides both physical and virtual management in the same context (what is the effect of the physical environment hosting virtual server and visa versa) also centralized on a common console / view. CA’s history in heterogeneity speaks volumes for our ability to work across multiple vendor platforms without favoritism. Completeness is demonstrated in CA ability to provide comprehensive integration within our own product solutions, but also beyond that – into partner solutions and 3 rd party vendor products.
