The Rise of a New Era in IT
Cloud
Web
PC / Client-Server
Mainframe
Cloud will transform the delivery of IT
services and how they are managed
2
Cloud Computing Characteristics: Management Implications
Cloud Computing is an approach to computing that leverages the efficient pooling
of on-demand, self-managed virtual infrastructure, consumed as a service.
Efficiency thru Utilization
and Automation
3
Agility with Control
Freedom of Choice
Pooling
From machines to on-demand,
highly elastic resource pools
Self-Service
Easy access with policy-based
provisioning and deployment
Open & Interoperable
Application mobility between
clouds, based on open standards
Zero-touch Infrastructure
Policy-driven automation of
provisioning, deployment and
management
Control
Application-aware infrastructure,
built-in availability, scale, security,
performance guarantees
Leverage Existing Investments
Benefits of cloud computing to
existing applications and
datacenters
How do I Achieve ZeroTouch?
How to I Enable SelfService with Control?
How do I Get to the Hybrid
Cloud?
To Efficiently Automate to Maximize
Performance, Capacity, Scale
To Dynamically Assure Easy Access
with Compliance & Security
To Enable Management Across
Providers, Domains, and Clouds
Traditional Management Model is Too Complex

Traditional Management
Resulting Challenges
Silos
Meeting SLA’s
Component management on a
per-silo basis
Focused on devices,
not services
Static
Poor App Performance
Applications bound to
infrastructure
Brittle, slow
applications
Bolt-On
Complexity
Management is sold
after-market as an afterthought
Too many reactive
and fragmented point tools
Manual
Scaling without Adding Staff
Change is carefully planned,
risky, slow
Spiraling rate of change,
not enough people

Passively Discover Application Dependencies with vCenter ADM
ESX to VC Dependencies
Remember to plan
ESX server
Virtualized On Relationship
to protect all
three of these!
VMs
Virtual to Virtual
Dependencies
Physical to Virtual
Dependencies
Discover instances of DBs,
Application servers, etc
10
Discover hidden dependencies, prepare for moves, build DR protection groups
Passively Discover Application Dependencies with vCenter ADM
 Hybrid discovery model
WAN
– Passive, active, agent-less, analytic
– No agents required
 Passive network traffic capture
– Statistical sampling
– Uses virtual & core switch mirror ports
– Extracts details for packet structure
 Active discovery adds high
definition configuration details
– WMI, SSH, Telnet, SNMP and VI-SDK
11
ADM
DATA CENTER
VMware Data Center Blueprinting Services
 For customers engaging in
– Data center consolidation
– Migration
– Disaster recovery projects
 Delivers critical information for
– Determining server move groups
– Analyzing the impact of relocating
or consolidating critical business
applications.
 Actionable reports detail
– Actual business applications
– Underlying application
infrastructure
– Business applications
interdependencies supporting
your business
12
Business Application Mapping
Inter- and Intra- Dependency Maps
 Provides a detailed and
accurate infrastructure
layout of a given
business application
– Virtual and Physical
servers
– Services
– Interdependencies
 This is first step to
understanding the
business application is to
map out its internal
dependencies
 Required for any major
data center project (i.e.
DR, Migration,
Consolidation)
13
DB Layer
Application
Layers
Business Application Mapping
Discover Connections and Relationships
 Shows the dependencies
between business
applications
 Understand know how a
change (or failure) of one
business application
might impact a separate
business application
 Dependencies between
business applications will
affect the order in which
they are brought up at a
remote data center after a
disaster
