datacentre and into cloud, this will then provide a company
with the ability to preserve SLAs and respond to business
as requirements change.
Alex mentioned that we’re getting to a point now where
the physical network can be considered as a barrier to the
SDDC. So what’s the solution?
Alex also indicated that vSphere with Operations Management delivers tangible return on investment (ROI) via:
Virtualising the network via embedding the networking functionality in the software layer. The power of VMware’s NSX
is that it removes one of the last barriers to the SDDC and
transforms the operational model of the network in terms of
speed, cost savings and choice.
-
Increased capacity utilisation – visibility of where
resources are being underutilised
-
Increased consolidation ratios – report back on
whether efficiency is being achieved
-
Increased hardware savings – do customers genu
inely need additional hardware?
-
Reduced diagnostic problems and resolution
downtime
Some of the new and/or improved features of the product
include:
-
-
-
-
-
-
Performance & scale – high availability for physical
hardware and applications
APP HA
Flash read cache
Replication – the provision of application recovery
points at a consistent known point in time, allowing
one to recover the machine
Backup & recovery – in conjunction with EMC’s
Avamar technology, if vCenter falls down one is
still able to recover the virtual machines, there is
integration with agents, and options exist around
the storage tiers which one places it on
Big data extensions – following on from the theme
that requirements from customers are changing in
the types of things they want to do, VMware has
improved the latency sensitivity of the underlying
Hypervisor, and has done a lot of engineering
work to support big data requirements (su 6?2 ???F??f?"W???R???6??R?bF?R?Wr7W7F??W"&V?Vf?G2&S???v^( ?&R?6?6VV??r?Wr&?6?F?7F?&vR?W7FVB???F?R??7&V6R???vW"?b6W'fW'2?BF?Rff?&F&??G?`?&V?&??G??b6W'fW"f?6?bF?6?2?v?F?F?RV?W&vV?6R?`?f?6?7F?&vR6??W2F?R&??G?F?fW'?&?F?'V??BW??VvR??V?B?bW&f?&??6Rf?"&V6??&?R&?6R????F?f?GV?6W'fW"?F?R6???V?vR?2F?B7W7F??W'2??rv?@???v?W"??W"?b6W'f?6W2v??6?W??7G2??F??bF?B?F??0?v?????7BF?R7F?&vRFV6?6???2?b?B??vW'2?fW"F?P??W?Bf?fR?V'2????vV?V?BbWF??F????d?v&^( ?2?B'W6??W72??vV?V?B7V?FR???w2?BF??W???&Rv?BF???w2&V??6?7BF?&?Vv???7&V6VBf?6?&??G????????Rv?F?F?R&?6?F?V6?VB??'??W?V&?W"v?W&P?F?R6????G&VG2?B2&?f?B???726V?G&R?Bw&VFW ?G&?7&V?7?&WGvVV?F?RGv?W??7G2??FW&?2?bf??F??r?v???v??66V?&????FW&?2?bF?Rd6??VB??'&?B6W'f?6R?d?v&R?2??r?ffW&??rF?R???B?b6W'f?6W2&V??r?ffW&VB??F?RU2?BWW&?R??f?7W76VB??&?F?FVF?6FVB6??VB?Bf?'GV?&?fFR6??VB???W?6??6VB'?&V??F??rF?RVF?V?6R?bf&??W26?W2?G0?f??&?RF??FV?F??7W7F??W'27V6?2g&VR&?GV7BWf?VF???F?v???G2??B??G2?????'2?v??6??ffW'2? ???WFR6W76???f?"7W7F??W'2F?6?BB???R?B??v?F??d6??VBF?&V7F?"?d6??VBWF??F???6V?FW"?WF2??F?Rd?v&RW6W"w&?W?2?6?w&?v?g&??7G&V?wF?F??7G&V?wF??Wf?FV?6RF?Bv??BF???w2&R?V???r??F?P?d?v&R6???V??G??????v?f??&??G????7&V6VBW&f?&??6Rf?"?76???7&?F?6??????6F???0???F?R&??G?F?'V?&?rFF?6F???2??e7?W&P??W??6?F?V6?VB??F?Re7?W&R?v?&???r&?V?@?7W?'F??r??B?b?V?"?6F???2?2vV??2V?f?&???V?G2'V????r?2?6F???2?BWGF??rF?R6&??F?W0????6RF?v?fR??6?v?B?Bf?6?&??G???F?????F?&??r??&?fV?V?G2?fR?6?&VV??FRF?e7?W&R&?rFF?W?FV?6???2??F?R7W?'B?b?F??FW????V?G3?e7?W&P?&W?6F??????f??rF?R&??G?f?"?V?F??R???B???F??P?6??W2???W&VB?WB?fW"??W'2?F?2bvVV?3??Be7?W&P?FF&?FV7F?????&V??r&?RF?&W7F?&RF?&V7F?F?F?P?e7?W&R??7B?BW6??r?W72F?7?6V?V?BF??FVGW?6F???FV6?????w???N( ?2&6?6????F???f?"7W7F??W'2??????rF?WB&6?W??F?f?'GV?V?f?&???V?Bf?"F?Rf?'7BF??R?d?v&R???2?3C????f?WrfV?VR???F?4?C3BU4FV??sr?C?b?#s2f?cS?C#r?Swwr?f?v&R?6???6??&?v?B *?#2d?v&R???2???&?v?G2&W6W'fVB?F??2&?GV7B?2&?FV7FVB'?R?2??B??FW&?F????6??&?v?B?B??FV??V7GV?&?W'G??w2?d?v&R&?GV7G2&R6?fW&VB'???R?"??&RFV?G2?7FV@?B?GG???wwr?f?v&R?6???v??FV?G2?d?v&R?2&Vv?7FW&VBG&FV?&??"G&FV?&??bd?v&R???2???F?RV??FVB7FFW2?B??"?F?W"?W&?6F?7F???2????F?W"?&?2?B??W2?V?F???VB?W&V????&P?G&FV?&?2?bF?V?"&W7V7F?fR6????W2?#??wwr?f?'7FF?7G&?'WF????6??????
