Why Is The Software-Defined Data Center (SDDC) Important?

The customer context and needs that drove

the creation of the SDDC vision by VMware

What’s Changing: Rise of “Shadow IT”

PaaS SaaS

* Source: Gartner, November 2011: “By 2015, 35% of enterprise IT expenditures

for most organizations will be managed outside the IT department's budget."

The Other Thing That is Changing: Customers Want Choice

The Pain Points Are Only Getting Worse

** Equinix.com blog, Cisco VNI 2011 Gartner 2009 and 2011, IDC 2011

Workloads are doubling every 4 years…

…how do we manage this growing complexity?

50x – Data managed within enterprise datacenters

44x – Storage growing from 0.8 ZB to 35 ZB in 2020

26x – Mobile data traffic growth from mobile devices

10x – Servers worldwide growth

5x – IP-based video and real time applications growth

4x – IP traffic growth

2012

By 2015

The same principles that transformed

a single layer of the data center…

and delivered unprecedented

value for customers…

What if…

Abstract. Pool. Automate.

were applied to

the entire data center?

9


The ideal architecture for private,

hybrid and public clouds.

All infrastructure is virtualized

and delivered as a service, and

the control of this data center is

entirely automated by software.

vCloud Networking and Security (vCNS) – Networking and Security

Capabilities of the vCloud Suite

• Edge virtual appliance providing integrated gateways services, such as Firewall, Load Balancing, NAT, VPN

• App vNIC level firewall

• VXLAN extended networks

• Integration with vCenter and vCloud Director

How it works

• Simplified packaging, only available in vCloud Suites

• Improve workload mobility and compute utilization across clusters

• Cost savings from the use of virtual appliance for L4-L7 services instead of purpose built hardware.

• Meet compliance goals with ability to isolate critical applications in a shared infrastructure

Today When A VM Needs Storage….

Setting up storage requires:

1. Spreadsheet black-magic

to determine right configs

2. Several additional steps:

• Build disk pools

• Assign RAID levels

• Create LUN/volumes

• Zone and map LUNs

• Format LUN/Volumes

• Assign data services

(Replication, etc.)

Which LUNs

have the right

performance and

availability for

each VM?

Here are

your LUNs.
