Wie heeft er plannen om IaaS in de toekomst te gaan gebruiken?
Welke workloads (test, dev, prod)?
Wie heeft er plannen om alles te verplaatsen naar de Cloud?

Providers
Hybrid Cloud
Composition of 2 or more
interoperable clouds,
enabling data and
application portability
Public Cloud
Accessible over the
Internet for general
consumption
Private Cloud
Operated solely for an
organization, typically
within the firewall

8. vCloud Director Scaling
VMware vCloud Director Cells
• Scale horizontally
• Add load balancer in front of Cells
• Multi-Cells share vCloud Director Database
vSphere Resources
• 1 vCD Cell : many vCenter Servers
• Multiple vCenter Servers attached to vCD can
be in linked mode (optional)

11. Virtual Datacenters
2 Different Layers of Compute Resources
Provider vDC
• Can be either a cluster or a resource pool
• Used to define an “SLA”
• Storage Tier
• N+X HA redundancy
• Specific HW
Org vDC
11 Confidential
Org vDC
• Is a logical container for resources for your Organization
• Used to define how resources are allocated

Resource Allocation Models for Organization vDCs
• Allocated sub-resources of a provider vDC
• Allocation uses a model, each of which can set limits on number of VMs
Allocation Model Definition
Pay As You Go
• No upfront resource allocation in the org vDC
• Resources are reserved as users create vApps
• Can set a percentage of resources to be reserved
• vCPU rating can be adjusted
Pool expands to accommodate
resources reserved on demand
vApp
vApp
13 Confidential
• vCPU rating can be adjusted
Allocation Pool
(“Virtual container”)
• Allocated pool of resources with a percentage reserved
• Cloud admin controls ability to overcommit resources
• Users cannot modify VM reservations and limits
• Resources can be shared between org VDCs
Reservation Pool
(“Physical container”)
• Allocated pool of resources with 100% reserved
• Users can adjust VM reservations and limits
• No sharing of resources with other org VDCs
• Similar to allocation pool, with reservation = 100%

14. Networking
3 Different Layers of Networking
• External
• Organization
• vApp
Managed at two layers: Users & Cloud Provider
An External Network, is a means of providing a connection with the
“outside world”.
14 Confidential
• Set up by Cloud “Providers”
An Organization Network is a network contained within an
organization.
• Set up by Cloud “Providers”
A vApp network is a network contained within a vApp.
• Set up by Users
18. Use Cases for Private Cloud
The target use case for the vCloud includes the following workloads:
• Development and test
• Pre-production
• Demos
• Training
18
• Tier 2 and Tier 3 applications
21. What is vCloud Request Manager?
Enhanced Governance and Control of
vCloud Director based Private Clouds.
21 Confidential
vCloud Director based Private Clouds.
22. What is vCloud Request Manager?
• Add sophisticated workflow driven approvals
processes to provisioning requests.
1. Provisioning with Approvals
2. Software License Tracking
22 Confidential
• Automatically track software license usage in the cloud.
• Simplify the creation of “Organizations” and enforce
standardization through “Blueprints”.
3. Policy Based Cloud Partitioning
23. Cloud Consumer (eg: QA Engineer): Requests new vApp based on template.
Approver (eg: Line Manager): Receives email notification and approves via email.
Capability: vApp Provisioning with Approvals
Initiate Request Approval Workflow Email Notification
23 Confidential
Key Value: Controlled approvals and governance
24. Asset Manager: Associates software licenses with vApp templates.
Capability: Software License Tracking
Licenses Allocated on vApp Creation Licenses Freed on
vApp Deletion
24 Confidential
Key Value: Automatically track software license usage in the Cloud.
25. Capability: Policy Based Cloud Partitioning
Cloud Consumer (eg: Project Manager, QA Manager): Requests new “Cloud”.
Approver (eg: Line-Manager): Receives email notification and approves via email.
Initiate Request Approval Workflow Email Notification
25 Confidential
Key Value: Simplify creation and management of Organizations.
