What’s New in vCloud Director 1.5

What’s New in vCloud Director 1.5Most Agile Access to Secure Isolation and The Only Hybrid CloudCloud Infrastructure Simple Management Infrastructure• Fast Provisioning (Linked • vCloud Messages • vShield Edge VPN Integration Clones) • Microsoft SQL Server Support• vApp Custom Guest Properties • Expanded vCloud API and• 3rdpary distributed switch SDK support • vSphere 5 support• Globalization

Fast Provisioning using Linked Clones Overview • Provisions new VMs from a template without replicating the entire image • Instead, links the images (clones) so that common elements are stored only once vmd vmd vmd k k k Benefits • Dramatically speeds up provisioning time Template from >2 minutes to <5 seconds vmdk • Reduces storage footprint (and cost) by over 60%

Linked Clones in vCD Full Clone (Default) Linked clones can span • multiple datastores A Entire disk copied B • multiple vCenter Servers New independent VM Fast Provisioning A No disk copy A’ Delta disks spawned Delta Disk Delta Disk Base Disk (READ ONLY)

Enabling Linked Clones Enable fast provisioning on an organization virtual datacenter with a single mouse click

Manage your cloud networking using standard tools vCloud Director 1.5 3rd party distributed switch REST API vShield Manager Network vendor tools Administration/Mo nitoringNetworkadmins

vCloud Messages Overview • Connect vCloud Director to enterprise systems through messaging to rapidly create end-to-end system integrations Benefits • Integrate vCloud Director with existing IT management tools • Receive updates for vCloud Director tasks CMDB IPAM Ticketing

Notifications and Blocking tasks Over 100+ tasks have notifications available Certain tasks can be configured to block for external input before completing • Browse the category of tasks and select the operation (e.g. vApp Power operations, Virtual Data Center Operations) • Browse to System -> Administration -> Blocking Tasks

Microsoft SQL Server Support Overview • Build a vCloud Director environment u sing a Microsoft SQL database for all cloud configuration data Benefits • Leverage existing investments and database skill sets • Reduce the cost of building a cloud

List of supported databases Supported Databases • Oracle 10g Std/Ent Release 2 • Oracle 11g Std/Ent • Oracle 11g R2 New • Microsoft SQL 2005 Std/Ent SP4 New • Microsoft SQL 2008 Exp/Std/Ent (64-bit) New

vSphere 5 support vCloud Director 1.5 Overview • vCloud Director adds support for vSphere 5 platform vCenter Server with Auto Deploy • vSphere Auto Deploy support • Support for virtual hardware v8 Image Profiles Host Profiles • 32 vCPU • 1 TB vRAM Benefits • Faster deployment of physical vSphere vSphere vSphere infrastructure • Run the most demanding workloads in vCloud Director

Expanded vShield Integration Overview • Integration with vShield IPSec VPN capabilities through both API & UI • Expanded firewall capabilities to include Virtual VirtualDatacenter: Datacenter: full 5-tuple firewalls Remote WAN Local E E d d g g e e Benefits • Organization administrators can configure private networking enclave connected back to corporate datacenters • 5-tuple firewalls allows fully flexible network access management—control source & destination.
