Why Hybrid Cloud

It provides a clear use case for public

cloud computing

Using a Hybrid cloud model is a valuable

approach to architecture

Mix and Match resources between

infrastructure availability

Solve resource constraint headaches,

scale out to the cloud

5

Business Drivers

Innovation and new product development

Accelerating release cycles and speed to market

• Faster Application deployment

• Prolonging legacy applications

Operational efficiency

• Leveraging SLAs from cloud

Reduced TCO

Lowers CAPEX when trying new markets

• Lowers initial investment into infrastructure

Business Agility

• Managing Business Requests with IT speed

6

Technical Requirements

vSphere Environment

• Suitable workloads ready and available to move to the hybrid cloud

Public Cloud Access

• Access to a Cloud environment

vCloud Connector Server

• vCloud Connector Server deployed in your vSphere environment

vCloud Connector Node – Public Cloud

• Leverage Provider Multi Tenant node

vCloud Connector Node – vSphere

• vCC Node deployed in the vSphere environment

vCloud Networking and Security (optional for DCE)

• Manager

• Edge Gateway

Internet Access and communication between environments

How We Do It – SITE TO SITE VPN

9

Step 1 – Select Your Cloud Provider

10

Step 1 – Select Your Cloud Provider

Criteria

• Dedicated Cloud

• Virtual Private Cloud

Cost

Security

Compliance

Capability

11

Step 2 – Determine Public Cloud Sizing

How many VMs

Which Operating Systems will I use?

• Licensing Impact

How many Catalogs will I have

• Do I have lots of templates I want in the cloud?

• Will I utilize Service Provider templates?

12

Step 3 – Sign the Deal

13

Step 4 – Design Your Cloud Networks

How many routed networks?

• Create multiple networks for different services

• 9 Interfaces to utilize

VPN Configuration

• Network Settings considerations

Firewall Rules

• Firewall rules are always reciprocal

Impact on my current environment

• Move my templates to the cloud

Backup

• Backup Networks

14

Step 5 – Infrastructure Deployment in the Cloud

DNS

• Always need DNS

Active Directory

• Local Authentication for services

DHCP

• Using vCNS Edge device to provide DHCP Services

Backup

• Is backup services a consideration

Step 6 – Workload Migrations

V2C is the new P2V

Using vCloud Connector for migrations (consider smaller workloads)

Template migration

Catalog sync

Existing VM migrations (V2C)

vCloud Connector Multi-Tennant Node exists in vCloud Hybrid Service

No need to deploy your own Cloud Node

Strategy Overview Diagram

Public Clouds Private Clouds

Hybrid Cloud Seamlessly extend your data center to the public cloud

Virtual Workspace Manage access to services, applications and data for any device

The New Role for IT: IT as a Service

Software-Defined Data Center Virtualize the entire data center

Management and Automation

Storage and Availability Compute Network and Security

24

Bridging the Gap Between the Business and IT

Line of Business

Requires speed, agility and

the ability to innovate

IT Team

Focused on maintaining

reliable, secure infrastructure

Two Key Challenges

Growing chasm between Business

and IT due to lack of agility Lack of trust for business-critical

workloads in the public cloud

With the Same Solution

Common platform that spans private and public cloud, linking them together seamlessly.
