INF-NET2373 Best Practice for
Deploying VXLAN with Cisco Nexus
1000V and VMware vCloud Director
Technical Level:
Speaker(s): Han Yang, Cisco Systems, Inc.
HALL 8, LOWER LEVEL | Room F1
Cisco Nexus 1000V is the first virtual switch to
offer Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN), providing
cloud network isolation, and is fully integrated
with VMware vCloud Director®. Come to this
session to find out how to deploy VXLAN with
vCloud Director. It will also provide a deep dive
into VXLAN deployment best practices.
INF-SEC3460 Here and Now: Software
Defined Networking and Security -
Integrated Solutions You Can
Use Today
Technical Level:
Speaker(s): Dean Coza, VMware, Inc.;
Jonathan Gohstand, VMware, Inc.;
Hatem Naguib, VMware, Inc.
HALL 8, LOWER LEVEL | Room B1
Software defined networking and security is here
today and VMware’s technology partners are
with us! Come to this session and see what these
partners are delivering right now. The session
will focus on descriptions of vSphere-integrated
solutions our technology partners such as F5,
Kaspersky, Safenet, Symantec and Riverbed and
many more are delivering to complete the picture
and provide vendor choice. These integrated
solutions leverage multiple APIs, including a
new network-level API just released with vCloud
Networking and Security 5.1. Also covered are
the partners using the vShield Endpoint APIs.
Representatives from the technology partners will
be on hand to answer questions. Attendees will
gain an understanding of why software defined
data center services are superior to current
architectures, what multi-vendor open solutions
are available, and how customers are benefiting
from this new model today.
INF-STO2192 Distributed Storage: Tech
Preview Of a Virtual SAN Technology
Technical Level:
Speaker(s): Christos Karamanolis, VMware, Inc.;
Kiran Madnani, VMware, Inc.
HALL 8, LOWER LEVEL | Room D1
In this session, we will preview Distributed
Storage, a new Virtual SAN storage technology
from VMware. This technology will leverage a new
policy-driven storage management paradigm to
automate VM data lifecycle management at cloud
scale. With this technology, administrators will be
able to virtualize and manage storage the same
way they do that today for CPU and memory.
We will discuss the use cases and benefits of
this technology in virtualized environments.
INF-VSP1367 Upgrading vSphere
Technical Level:
Speaker(s): Kyle Gleed, VMware, Inc.
HALL 8, LOWER LEVEL | Room C1
An in-depth overview of the vSphere upgrade
process; includes an detailed overview of
the upgrade procedure along with tips and
recommendations to ensure a successful upgrade
with minimal disruption to your virtual machines.
Covers pre-upgrade, upgrade and post-upgrade
considerations to include guidance on upgrading
VMware Tools and VM compatibility levels.
INF-VSP1729 Understanding
Virtualized Memory Performance
Management
Technical Level:
Speaker(s): Kit Colbert, VMware, Inc.
HALL 8, LOWER LEVEL | Room B2
Have you ever wondered how ESX decides which
VMs to reclaim memory from? Do you know the
best way to tell when your host’s memory is at
capacity? What about how to tell when a VM is
starving for memory resources and experiencing
poor performance? In this session, we will guide
you through the complicated world of virtualized
memory performance management, explaining
the concept of entitlement, how it’s computed
and how it affects memory allocation and
reclamation. We will help you better understand
how memory usage patterns and interactions on
the ESX Server host can affect vSphere memory
metrics. Finally, we will present performance data
and use that to motivate best practices around
memory management to keep your data center
running smoothly and efficiently.
ITT3241 Operating a More Reliable
Cloud Through Proactive Incident
and Problem Management
Technical Level:
Speaker(s): Rich Benoit, VMware, Inc.;
Doug Huber, VMware, Inc.
HALL 8, LOWER LEVEL | Room G2
Organizations leveraging cloud computing have
the ability to evolve traditional management
approaches to more proactively diagnose and
address infrastructure issues before they escalate
and threaten availability. This session introduces
the specific operational best practices that are
required to create a model of proactive incident
resolution that helps to create a self-healing
cloud environment. This session will also discuss
how organizations are able to take advantage
of automation to shift operational expenses to
focus on more strategic investments that bring
innovation and competitive advantage back to
the organization. All of these recommendations
and best practices will enable you to more
effectively support and reap the benefits
of a cloud environment.
