Agenda

VMware Cloud Management Active Application Management Strategy vFabric Application Director Product vFabric Application Director with Puppet

VMware Cloud Management A Differentiated Approach

Service Provisioning Automate the provisioning of infrastructure, applications and desktops as a service

Operations Management Adopt embedded, converged management for the Software Defined Datacenter

Business Management Govern and manage cloud services as a critical element of running IT like a business

Simple, automated management for heterogeneous and hybrid clouds

Applications Today
Deployed on virtual and cloud infrastructure
Span across Private, Public and Hybrid Clouds
Private Clouds

Public/Private/ Hybrid Cloud

Public Clouds

Developed with agile or iterative methodologies

Apps released early and often

Written in diverse frameworks

Traditional (Java, .Net) and Modern Frameworks

Packaged or Custom Applications

3rd Party Apps, Home grown, SaaS

Cloud Operating Model

Driven by the Cloud Journey Leads to distinction of ownership and collaboration

DevOps
Apps released early and often Businesses need frequent changes and expect higher service level.

VMwares Active Application Management Strategy for IaaS

The move towards cloud and use of modern application frameworks and methodologies is creating an opportunity to think differently on managing applications Manage applications holistically and separately from the supporting
infrastructure

Help manage applications that move across, and run across, public and
private clouds

Horizontally integrates management across deployment, monitoring and

change Optimize
Isolate, trouble shoot, remediate, change

Deploy Build
Instrument early

Monitoring Policy Topology Update Scale Policy

Monitor
Resources, compliancy, transactions, users, change impact

Add Capacity Reboot Burst Compute

Components, topology, resource allocation, environment binding

Approach Validated Through Multiple Use-Cases & Verticals

Deploy 1,800 machines in 2 hours
vs. 25 machines per day with HP Opsware

Scaled from 0 to over 10,000 servers

in 2 months without training

287 servers per SysAdmin

vs. 19 for BMC BladeLogic

Over 50,000 systems
