VMworld 2014: vSphere HA Best Practices and FT Tech PreviewVMworld
This document provides an overview and best practices for vSphere HA and introduces new technologies in tech previews. It begins with a disclaimer about features in development. The presentation then covers vSphere HA capabilities and recommendations for networking, storage, HA and VSAN configuration, and host isolation responses. It also discusses admission control policies and aims to maximize available resources after failures. Finally, it previews new technologies for fault tolerance and improving VM availability in cases of storage connectivity loss.
The popularity of Virtual SAN is growing daily. Server admins are finally free to aggregate storage in their servers to create a shared storage system that scales with their compute needs. The underlying key to making it all work is networking. All Virtual SAN data flows through it, and correct selection and configuration of networking components will mean the difference between disruptive success or dramatic failure. This session will give deep insight in the do's and don'ts of Virtual SAN networking. Best practices for physical and virtual switch configuration and performance testing will be discussed. Virtual SAN 5.5 and 6.0 will be covered, and the networking differences discussed. Methods of troubleshooting network issues will be covered. For those configuring a Virtual SAN network for the first time, for labs or enterprise scale, this session is a must-see.

HBC9363 Virtualization 2.0 How the Cloud is Evolving the Modern Data Centerdavehill99
In his article Virtualization 2.0 Is Your On-Ramp to the Cloud published on SIliconANGLE, VMware Cloud Strategist David Hill, writes, “Many companies today are recognizing value in the cloud even though they have no plans to mothball their own data centers. To them, the cloud represents both an extension of their on-premises infrastructures and the latest chapter in the ongoing evolution of their IT practice.”
David goes on to describe this latest chapter as “Virtualization 2.0,” because just as virtualization untethered workloads from servers, this stage is about untethering those same workloads from the data center itself, enabling apps to freely move between clouds the way they can move between servers today.
VMworld 2014: Site Recovery Manager and Stretched StorageVMworld
SRM with stretched storage provides a new approach for active-active data centers:
- It allows live migration of VMs across vCenter servers using stretched storage for continuous availability.
- Recovery plans can be tested non-disruptively and used to automate recovery from site failures via vMotion.
- Planned migrations can be performed before site maintenance using vMotion for zero downtime.
This document discusses using VMware Site Recovery Manager (SRM) to provide zero downtime application mobility across sites with stretched storage. SRM can now simultaneously manage both stretched and non-stretched storage, providing orchestration capabilities for planned maintenance, automated recovery from failures, and disaster avoidance across active-active datacenters. Key benefits of using SRM with stretched storage include enhanced monitoring, testability of failovers, and control over virtual machine dependencies and priority during recovery operations.

How to Get the Fastest Possible Citrix Logon Times? Optimization Tips for ...eG Innovations
Logon is a user's first interaction with the Citrix digital workspace service, and hence, a slow logon can influence a user's opinion of the service in a way that no other metric can. Therefore, logon time is the #1 key performance indicator (KPI) in Citrix environments.
Slow logons have an impact not just on user perception, but also productivity. When each logon takes minutes — maybe on multiple systems — it results in lost work time and costs the business. So, it is imperative that logons be as quick and non-intrusive as possible. But how can we make this happen?
Learn some of the best practices for Citrix logon time optimization.
This document contains the resume of Dinakar Nerusu, who has over 10 years of experience as a system administrator working with large IT infrastructures and data centers. He has experience managing Windows and Citrix servers in banking, finance, and retail industries. Some of his responsibilities have included installation, configuration, and management of virtualization technologies; troubleshooting incidents; and managing teams of other system administrators.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).
