OPS-CSM3439 The Automation of
VMworld Labs: An Exercise in
VMware Frameworks
Technical Level:
Area of Interest: t
Speaker(s): Dave Shanley, VMware, Inc.;
Kyle Smith, VMware, Inc.
HALL 8, LOWER LEVEL | Room C2
As the VMworld Hands-on Labs have evolved and
become more sophisticated over the last 9 years,
so too has the user experience and automation
software used to orchestrate the event. In this
session the engineers behind the 2012 HOL will
dive into the gory details of what it takes to
deliver such an experience. We’ll touch on the
application frameworks and middleware used,
architectural decisions that were made to improve
scalability and reliability within the system, as
well as the challenges we faced in coordinating
independent systems across geographically
distributed data centers.
PAR2146 Disaster Recovery to the
Cloud using SRM – Opportunities
for Partners
Technical Level:
Area of Interest: s
Speaker(s): Gil Haberman, VMware, Inc.
HALL 8, LOWER LEVEL | room E3
Many organizations today do not have adequate
disaster recovery (DR) protection for their
applications. In most cases, disaster recovery
is perceived as too expensive, complex and
unreliable for any but the most mission-critical
applications. But disaster recovery is a natural
fit for the cloud, and VMware’s Disaster Recovery
to the Cloud Services make disaster recovery
broadly accessible for all applications and sites
by providing cost-efficient, automated and simple
disaster protection using SRM and vSphere
Replication.
Join us in this session to hear from VMware
and leading service providers about exciting
opportunities for the partner community:
• Join VMware Service Provider Program and
begin offering DR to the Cloud services using
SRM and vSphere Replication
• Partner with service providers looking for
channel resellers to effectively reach customers
SPO2069 Solving the Application
Provisioning Nightmare: Integrating
vSphere and vCloud Director with
Your Application Delivery
Networking Services
Technical Level:
Speaker(s): Charlie Cano, F5 Networks;
Adina Simu, VMware, Inc.
HALL 8, LOWER LEVEL | room B1
In this technical deep dive, we present a new
integration between vSphere, vCloud Director,
and Application Delivery Networking services.
This integration unifies and simplifies the
deployment of applications and their associated
supporting infrastructure. While virtualization
enabled IT to provision applications in minutes
instead of days, the more complex process of
provisioning and configuring the necessary
infrastructure still takes considerable time, effort,
and manual coordination. That problem can be
addressed by leveraging new APIs in vSphere and
vCloud Director. These APIs allow tight integration
with your application delivery controller, and unify
the deployment and configuration of applications
and their network services. Service templates
can be defined and assigned to applications
based on characteristics, business requirements,
and SLAs. Much of the complex, error-prone,
and time-consuming work previously required
to deploy production applications can now be
automated. This significantly improves IT’s agility
and efficiency.
Highlights:
• The architecture: abstraction of resources,
dynamic configuration of underlying
infrastructure
• How this model complements existing IT
processes and expertise
• Example use cases illustrating rapid deployment
of an application in the dynamic data center
SPO5629 Flash as a Cache –
Rethinking Virtualization
Technical Level:
Area of Interest: S
Speaker(s): Niall MacLeod, Fusion-io
HALL 8, LOWER LEVEL | room G2
While virtualization allows organizations to use
and manage infrastructure much more efficiently,
it places an extremely high demand on storage
systems by making even sequential access
random. Because random access is precisely the
pattern that most challenges traditional storage,
much of virtualization’s cost savings are offset
by the need to purchase and maintain expensive
storage systems just for performance purposes.
These systems are generally unable to offer cost
effective, scalable or predicable performance and
so with flash-based solutions readily available,
companies are rethinking how they virtualize.
Now companies can place active virtual machines
on flash memory using read caching.
This offers the virtual machine the benefits
of flash performance whilst still residing on
traditional disk. In turn, offloading reads from the
shared storage system can significantly speed up
writes; in some instances by 10 times.
This session will discuss how to best leverage flash
memory and read caching in your virtualization
environment to improve performance.
