The Rise of a New Era in IT

Mainframe

PC / Client-Server

WebCloud

Cloud will transform the delivery of IT services and how they are managed

Cloud Computing Characteristics: Management Implications

Cloud Computing is an approach to computing that leverages the efficient pooling of on-demand, self-managed virtual infrastructure, consumed as a service.

Pooling From machines to on-demand, highly elastic resource pools

Zero-touch InfrastructurePolicy-driven automation of

provisioning, deployment and management

Self-ServiceEasy access with policy-based provisioning and deployment

ControlApplication-aware infrastructure, built-in availability, scale, security,

performance guarantees

Open & InteroperableApplication mobility between

clouds, based on open standards

Leverage Existing InvestmentsBenefits of cloud computing to

existing applications and datacenters

Efficiency thru Utilization and Automation

Agility with Control Freedom of Choice

How do I Achieve Zero-Touch?

To Efficiently Automate to Maximize Performance, Capacity, Scale

How to I Enable Self-Service with Control?

To Dynamically Assure Easy Access with Compliance & Security

How do I Get to the Hybrid Cloud?

To Enable Management Across Providers, Domains, and Clouds

Traditional Management Model is Too Complex

Traditional Management

Silos

Component management on a per-silo basis

Static

Applications bound to infrastructure

Bolt-On

Management is sold after-market as an afterthought

Manual

Change is carefully planned, risky, slow

Resulting Challenges

Meeting SLA’s

Focused on devices, not services

Poor App Performance

Brittle, slow applications

Complexity

Too many reactive and fragmented point tools

Scaling without Adding Staff

Spiraling rate of change, not enough people

Passively Discover Application Dependencies with vCenter ADM

ESX server

Virtual to Virtual Dependencies

ESX to VC Dependencies

Virtualized On Relationship

Physical to Virtual Dependencies

Discover instances of DBs, Application servers, etc

Discover hidden dependencies, prepare for moves, build DR protection groups

Remember to plan

to protect all

three of these!

DATA CENTER

WAN

ADM

Hybrid discovery model– Passive, active, agent-less, analytic

– No agents required

Passive network traffic capture– Statistical sampling

– Uses virtual & core switch mirror ports

– Extracts details for packet structure

Active discovery adds high definition configuration details

– WMI, SSH, Telnet, SNMP and VI-SDK

Passively Discover Application Dependencies with vCenter ADM

VMware Data Center Blueprinting Services

For customers engaging in– Data center consolidation– Migration– Disaster recovery projects

Delivers critical information for – Determining server move groups– Analyzing the impact of relocating

or consolidating critical business applications.

Actionable reports detail– Actual business applications– Underlying application

infrastructure– Business applications

interdependencies supporting your business

13

Business Application MappingInter- and Intra- Dependency Maps

Application Layers

DB Layer

Provides a detailed and accurate infrastructure layout of a given business application

– Virtual and Physical servers

– Services

– Interdependencies

This is first step to understanding the business application is to map out its internal dependencies

Required for any major data center project (i.e. DR, Migration, Consolidation)

14

Shows the dependencies between business applications

Understand know how a change (or failure) of one business application might impact a separate business application

Dependencies between business applications will affect the order in which they are brought up at a remote data center after a disaster

Business Application MappingDiscover Connections and Relationships
