VMworld Summary:
- Need to prioritize delivery of applications to the users
- Break down the rigidity of infrastructure to become adaptable
- Success comes through being thoughtful, decisive, and bold
Today’s Silos:
- Traditional vs cloud
- IT vs Dev
- On-premise vs Off-premise
- Safe/secure/compliant vs instant/elastic/self-service
- Own assets vs leverage others’ assets (example: Uber)
Strategy:
- SDDC
- Virtualize everything you can
- Compute: vSphere
- Network: NSX
- Storage: VSAN & vVol
- Mgmt: vRealize
- Hybrid-cloud
- EUC
Software-Defined Data Center:
- Hyper-Converged Infrastructure (HCI)
- Build-Your-Own –> Converged –> Hyper-Converged
- Blessed configuration that isn’t all out-board components
- Solution: EVO:RAIL
- 2U/4-node from qualified partners
- Scales to 4 HCIAs for gen-purpose (100 VMs) and VDI (250 VMs)
- Compute + Network + Storage
- Linear scale-out — add another box
- Larger deployments: EVO:RACK (RAIL expounded into a full rack w/ TOR switch)
- OpenStack Integration
- VMware distribution of OpenStack
- Unified, single-vendor support
- Containers without Compromise
- Not new, just under different names: Solaris Zones, FreeBSD Jails, OpenVZ
- Benefits: Process isolation, reproducible environment, management at scale
- Solution: Docker
- vCloud Suite 5.8
- vSphere Essentials –> vSphere Remote Office/Branch Office (ROBO)
- Changed licensing from CPU to VM
- No vCenter included
- vSphere 6 (Beta)
- 4-CPU SMP Fault Tolerance
- Applications Mobility
- Cross vCenter vMotion
- Long Distance vMotion
- Software-Defined Storage
- Extending VSAN to vVOL
- Policy-based storage
- Communication happens between vCenter and SAN
- vCloud Suite –> vRealize Suite
- ITBM Standard
- vCloud Automation Center Adv/Ent
- vCenter Ops Adv/Ent
- …
- NSX
- Micro-segmentation
- Allows what before was prohibitively expensive (firewalling workloads)
- Policy-based
- Micro-segmentation
vCloud Air (formerly vCloud Hybrid Service)
- Virtual Private Cloud On Demand (Beta)
- Sign-up: vmware.com/go/ondemand
- Dedicated Cloud
- Virtual Private Cloud
- Disaster Recovery
- Upcoming Services: DBaas (MySQL, MSSQL), Object Storage (based on EMC ViPR), Mobility (Airwatch), Cloud Mgmt (vCAC)
End-User Computing (EUC)
- Airwatch: mobility
- CloudVolumes acquisition: managed application containers
- Horizon Workspace Suite: Horizon, Airwatch, Virtual Portal
- Partnership with VMware, Google, and nVIDIA
