World Economic Forum,2018, Davos, Switzerland
“The term ‘superpowers’ conjures an
image of major nations shaping the
course of global history. But in the digital
era, I believe it’s time we expanded that
definition to include four extraordinary
technological superpowers that promise
to wield as much influence over the next
20 years as any nation state: mobile
technology, the cloud, artificial
intelligence (AI) and the internet of
things (IoT)”

What is the market doing?
Lots of variation, but Hybrid is a clear winner…

Why Multi-Cloud?
Top 5 Reasons for a Multi-Cloud Strategy

But, getting ”cloud” right is difficult…
Private cloud is not easy
• Complex, costly, difficult to operate
• Non-optimized, mismatched
hardware
• Hard to keep up with public cloud
services
Public cloud has its
challenges
• Change is difficult
• Security & data sovereignty
• Cost, lack of visibility, governance
Hybrid/Multi cloud requires
planning
• Migration complexities, integration
challenges
• Security
• Lack of standards
• Networking challenges

• In most cases, the
services you need can be
delivered from multiple
sources, both on-prem
and in the public could,
depending on your
specific need.
• As the ‘cloud maturity’ of
your business increases,
you may move from one
platform to another.Data Must Remain Compliant with applicable regulatory requirements policies and SLA’s
Data Must Remain Secure at rest and in-motion

• The cloud is constantly
evolving, offering newer
and more efficient ways of
delivering services. Keep
looking to improve on
previous decisions
• It’s important to move
purposefully, but not to
attempt too much change
without carefully
considering all the
implications

Building a Private Cloud with the Software Defined Data Center
▪ All infrastructure services are virtualized:
compute, networking, storage
▪ Control of data center automated by
software (management, security)
▪ Ideal architecture for hybrid cloud
▪ Unified platform for existing and new apps,
delivered to many devices

Your Private Cloud, made easy
▪ The solution arrives pre-built, configured & cabled in
rack
▪ Standardized x86 Datacenter Building Blocks
▪ Expandable to 8 Racks (256 Nodes)
▪ Managed as a single unit through SDDC Manager
▪ Each workload domain can be independently managed,
expanded and upgraded
▪ Automated Deployment of dedicated tenant infrastructure
called ‘Workload Domains’
▪ ‘Day 2’ Upgrades are fully engineered, simple one-click
operations with no outage or downtime.
▪ (*Per Workload Domain Upgrade: vCenter, ESXi, vSAN & NSX)
A fully Software Defined Datacentre, completely built in just a few days….

Self-driving Operations, automating business and operational intent
What is your target utilization objective?
• Balance - Workloads are evenly spread out
• Consolidate – Workloads are placed maximize utilization aka densification
How much risk is acceptable?
• Headroom provides a buffer of space for the
cluster
• Reduces risk from bursts or unexpected
demand
How to drive placement based on business needs?
• Tags-based placement
• SLA Tiers: Gold, Silver Bronze
• License Policies: Windows, Oracle, Linux
• Compliance: PCI, HIPAA
• App affinity policies
Turn on self-driving operations
• Run it now based on recommendation
• Schedule it for an automated ongoing
optimization
• Automate to run when performance
troubles occur
Private Cloud

Self-driving Operations – Right-size workloads on your Private Cloud
VMware Cloud Migration presents an
opportunity…
• Right-size all VM’s.
• Undersized – Struggling for resources
• Oversized – Clogging up the workload “CPU
Ready & Co-Stop”
• Automate – Scale Up operations
Private Cloud

Understand dependencies to plan your cloud migrations
Service Discovery
• Discover and list services and
display the relationship between
selected service and other services
on other VMs.
• Visualize relationship of selected
VM with other VMs
• Service Breakdown Across
Environment
• Validate SRM protection group
and recovery plan membership
Private Cloud

Your Multi-Cloud Strategy, Costing made easy
Model the cost of migrating your workloads to other clouds
Cost Comparison
• Compare the cost of
running specific
workloads in other
clouds
• Compare the cost of
a VM or application
between your
datacenters.
Private Cloud
Compare your Datacenter costs
Compare your Cloud costs

Your Multi-Cloud Strategy, Costing made easy
Track the costs of your current public cloud workloads
Public Cloud
• Provides Visibility and
breakdown of your current
cloud costs.
• Empowers decision
making on workload
placement
Private Cloud

Start your multi-cloud journey with a Private
Cloud…and as you build capability, experience
and skills extend to cover multi cloud use cases
Every organisation needs a multi-cloud strategy
to accelerate digital transformation…
VMware Validated Designs (VVDs) will give you
the technology validation for a quick start
People/Process aspects are equally important
as the technology/Cloud Management
Platform underpinning your multi-cloud
strategy
Conclusions / Key Takeaways
To develop the strategy, a good starting point
will be our 6-step approach…
As always, VMware Professional Services and
VMware Partners are there if more help is
needed…
