Summary – Today’s Session
• Symantec Granite Labs is a large scale implementation of a Software-Defined Data Center (SDDC)– Based on VMware and Symantec technologies– 145,000 VMs deployed, 20,000 under management today with 3,000
internal users – 15-month implementation– Have saved 280,000 Symantec staff hours– While delivering better quality to end-users, in less time
• Are Symantec’s experiences applicable to your company?– Why did SDDC make sense?– What was implemented?– What were the results and lessons learned?

SYMANTEC VISION 2013
Value to Symantec• Cost
– Single shared pool of networking, storage, and compute resources.– Reduced administration– Reduced integration costs
• Agility– Data Centers available in minutes instead of weeks or months.– Abstraction of hardware at all layers allows flexibility and reduced downtime.– Faster turn around when implementing new solutions– Reduce provisioning effort allowing employees to refocus their actual jobs - helping
customers.– Removing the burden of managing labs from engineers and trainers.– Helps to break down barriers between departments and reduces silos
• Governance– Secured within the Symantec Firewall / Private Enterprise Cloud– Complete oversight into the datacenter topologies allow for improved control.

SYMANTEC VISION 2013
Metrics / Lessons Learned• Cost
– Single shared pool of networking, storage, and compute resources.• Explosive adoption, over 3,100 employees have used the solution since launch. Average
over 1,600 active users every month.• Over 145,000 virtual machines deployed since launch.• Over 20,000 virtual machines under management• Unified Library of over 600 Software Defined Data Centers (vApps)
– Reduced administration• While fewer admins are needed, they need to be cross functional and understand the
latest virtualization trends.• Choosing the right vendors who understand cloud is critical.
– Reduced integration costs• Cloud integration is complex, use as many integrated solutions as you can which are proven
to work together. Symantec is seeing the savings in the ability to leverage integrations across the cloud.
SYMANTEC VISION 2013
Metrics / Lessons Learned• Agility
– Software Defined Data Centers available in minutes instead of weeks or months• Average Provisioning Time: 17 Minutes, completely changes the way employees work.
– Abstraction of hardware at all layers allows flexibility and reduced downtime.• Multiple hardware transitions since inception, zero user impact.• Orchestration is a must
– Faster turn around when implementing new solutions• Our entire cloud topology is actually stored in an SDDC vApp inside of the cloud, allowing for on the fly testing
of new solutions even with the cloud itself.
– Reduce provisioning effort allowing employees to refocus their actual jobs - helping customers.• Saved over 280,000 man weeks of effort
– Removing the burden of managing labs from engineers and trainers.• Transitioned to Cloud Operations
– Helps to break down barriers between departments and reduces silos• Over 600 shared labs covering most Symantec product lines currently available• Support Services, Training, and Engineering are finally able to share… everything.
SYMANTEC VISION 2013
Metrics / Lessons Learned
• Governance– Secured within the Symantec Firewall / Private Enterprise Cloud– Complete oversight into the datacenter topologies allow for improved
control.• Auditing of topologies to reduce human error.• Ensure proper security is in place prior to allowing deployment.
SYMANTEC VISION 2013
Future
• Unparalleled Cloud Integration with Symantec Products• Incorporate enhancements to virtual networking (Nicera)• Reference Architectures
