Software-Defined Data Center Case Study – Financial Institution and VMwareVMware
In this case study, a large financial institution engaged the VMware software-defined data center team to create a three-to-five year forward-looking strategy document for its IT department. The overriding business driver for the institution was the need for a drastic reduction in IT OpEx Costs, at least a 50% OpEx annualized cost reduction over a three-year period. This presentation explains how VMware Accelerate Advisory Services established the necessary strategy, including a look at the “cloud reference architecture,” which addressed the: application plane, control plane, infrastructure layer, and management plan.
Virtualization breaks the connection between software and hardware, allowing more flexible use of resources. It enables efficient pooling and utilization of hardware, software, and other resources. Virtualization increases efficiency through better hardware utilization and lowers costs, while improving flexibility, quality of service, and capacity utilization.
This document discusses the need for organizations to optimize their data centers given economic pressures to do more with less resources. Many data centers are approaching capacity for power and cooling and struggle with capacity planning and disaster recovery. It also outlines various components of data center infrastructure that must be carefully managed like racks, switches, and HVAC systems to prevent overload conditions. Finally, it discusses how server virtualization enables disaster recovery across data centers by allowing instances to exist across locations, simplifying failover.
Software Defined Data Center (SDDC) is the next evolution of the underlying technology, where software delivers greater levels of intelligence and value, on top of standardized hardware.

When APM came to the forefront five or so years ago, we all thought we’d finally found the answer to our visibility challenges. Almost every organization implemented some form of APM. The truth is these solutions, for the most part, delivered. APM today is doing exactly what it’s supposed to be doing. But it is still not enough.
APM has fallen short in two separate areas. One is not addressing the multitude of data – in addition to the metrics gathered by APM solutions – that must be analyzed to determine application health. The second is the failure to predict the global shift from an ITIL-based IT Ops strategy to a DevOps/Application Support structure; from silos of information to a merged architecture where everyone has access to the data and views they need.
APM is now just a piece of an end-to-end visibility and control solution.
In this webinar, Rodney Morrison, SL's VP of Products, discussed the disillusionment of APM, and did a walk-through of several use cases of companies who are leading the way to the new era of end-to-end visibility and control of their critical applications and infrastructure.
Learn how these companies are able to:
• See only the events that matter to them with enough context to show why they matter
• Provide access to end-to-end, time-correlated monitoring metrics for faster troubleshooting
• Enable custom, real-time holistic views of application configuration, dependencies and data flows for more intuitive understanding of application performance
• Automate manual processes such health checks and stop and start scripts to work faster and reduce errors
This document provides an overview of infrastructure as a service (IaaS) including key concepts such as virtualization, delivery models, deployment models, and the benefits of IaaS.

Powering Virtualization, Applications, and Data Center Transformation with Co...Dell World
How can you streamline management and administration, provide services and applications fast, and empower your customers and users? Having to run IT more efficiently is a given; infrastructure operations and the data center must become simpler, easier to manage and less costly. And IT must be "cloud ready." Convergence is a path to that efficiency—and if that sounds like a mix of virtualization, cloud, utility, on-demand and shared computing services, you are right. The majority of "converged solutions" today are complex and rigid, resulting in more inflexible islands of technology rather than integrating with existing processes, investments and strategies. Organizations are demanding solutions designed with the key tenets of modularity and flexibility at their core. The ROI of convergence can be realized in many ways, but involves reevaluating your platform strategy to consider solutions that are not only optimized for virtualization density, but designed to work for you at any scale, from office to enterprise.
