5. Business Objectives
• Based on interaction with <COMPANY>, the current business
objectives are:
– <Objective 1>
– <Objective 2>
– <Objective x>

Consultant: Insert the customer’s business objectives as provided by the sales
team. This shows that VMware understands the high-level business requirements
before the project starts. It is important for all project team members to understand
these requirements because this might be the first exposure to the project for some
of the people in the room.

9. SDDC Solution
• Solutions-oriented delivery methodology
– Business value-oriented modeling
– Prescriptive approach
– Predictable outcome
– Modular elements allow for adapted solution
– Orchestrated with supported, common workflow library
– Cohesive, unified VMware vCloud® Suite deployments
– Equal parts operational transformation (roles and process)
• What does this mean?
– Guidance amplified through successful field engagements
– Validated design takes out the guesswork
– Time impact on customer resources reduced
– Templated materials deliver well-understood engagements
9
11. Modularity
• Components are modular and can be adapted and customized
– Each element draws from field-proven approaches
• Assess the environment to determine:
– What is the context relative to the1-2-3 capability model?
– Is the environment SDDC ready?
– Are infrastructure services needed?
– Are application services needed?

13. Instructor Whiteboard Drawing
• Draw the next slide on the whiteboard explaining the methodology of the Virtualization
Design and Deploy Service
1. Start from the bottom, drawing the logical and virtual storage and networking
infrastructure.
2. Draw the Core Virtualization box above this.
3. Draw the VMware ESXi™ boxes next explaining that they are the consumers of the
following resources.
4. Draw the Clusters box, explaining that these aggregate the resources per workload.
5. Draw the Management, Edge, and Payload boxes in the cluster, saying that they are
for the segregation of resources.
6. Draw Payload explaining that this can be a single payload or multiple payloads.
7. Draw the Edge cluster explaining that it is built in an NS-EW way, leaf-spine model.
8. Draw the Management cluster, explaining that this is where VMware vCenter™ sits,
as well as any other technologies, such as VMware vCenter Operations
Management and VMware vCenter Orchestrator™, but with these three you can
transition to the SDDC Ready portion of SDDC ADND.
• Answer questions as they come up. It is meant to be interactive!

Assess current state

19. Virtualization
• The core part of any infrastructure is virtualization
• The key here is that there are NO static solutions
– Design is based on functional requirements in the environment
– Solution validated designs are used as known good starting points
– Virtual appliances are used by default
• Recommend starting off with the three clusters
19
Start at 3 Hosts
Span multiple Chassis
Management Cluster
One or More ChassisOne or More Chassis
Start with two clusters
Min 3 hosts per cluster
Max 8 hosts per cluster
Payload Clusters

20. Cluster Design
• Resources are designed to be modular
• Each resource pod contains payload and edge clusters
• Storage and networking are mapped accordingly
