Agenda

• Current trends in IT

and virtualization

today

• Understanding the

“Software-Defined

Data Center”

• VMware as Platform

for the SDDC

• Questions


Trends in virtualization

• It’s a Digital World!

• Many businesses and organizations will have to change their models and approach to operations in this new digital world

• IT organizations will have to become more agile and responsive to support these new business models

• Clouds – the new Factories of the Digital World


Trends in virtualization

Internal IT will continue to face competition from outside.

• IT has become a source of differentiation or competitive advantage in almost every industry

• We are seeing a “consumerization” of IT

– Mobile devices – smart phones, tablets, BYOD

– High expectations set by end users used to social media

• Traditional data centers are proving to not be agile enough or too slow to scale

• Line of business managers now have alternatives to their own IT departments


Trends in virtualization in 2013

Software-Defined Data Center

• Based on a framework that abstracts the hardware from the delivery of services to the business

– Configuration of resources is done in the upper layers of software systems

– New services can be turned on or off rapidly and existing services can grow or shrink as needed

• A little different than “Cloud” in that it can support legacy applications as well as new services

• Reap many of the agility benefits of cloud computing while maintaining legacy applications


Three key trends drive us towards a

new model

In a software-defined datacenter…

All infrastructure services are

delivered as software

And, the control of this datacenter

is entirely driven by software


The journey to self-service & private

cloud

Abstract and pool compute, storage, and network

Flexible use of capacity

Self-service for infrastructure

Self-service for applications


The software-defined datacenter


Software-defined datacenter

Software-Defined Datacenter:

All infrastructure is virtualized and

delivered as a service, and the

control of this datacenter is

entirely driven by software.

Standardized ▪ Holistic ▪ Adaptive ▪ Automated ▪ Resilient


Software-defined datacenter benefits

Description of the capability Capability of

SDDC Problem it

solves

• Monitoring that learns usage cycles,

and knows when human intervention is

needed

• Forecasting future needs

Self-optimizing Shackled IT

• Disaster recovery to heal failures, at

the hardware, cluster, or site level

• Security app, edge, endpoint

Self-healing Impossible SLAs

• Pools of compute, network, and storage

resources controlled by IT policy

• Service catalogues that meet customer

demands

• Meters to assign usage

Self-service Lack of Agility
