OPS-CIM1309 vCAT 3.0: Operating a
VMware vCloud
Speaker(s): Rohan Kalra, VMware, Inc.;
Kevin Lees, VMware, Inc.
HALL 8, LOWER LEVEL | Room C2
The VMware vCloud Architect Toolkit (vCAT)
was first published in late 2010 and has quickly
become recognized as the industry leading
source for building and consuming a VMware
cloud environment. It has done so by providing
an architecture, along with design considerations,
based on VMware’s direct experience architecting,
designing, and implementing both private and
public clouds for our customers.
With the release of version 3.0, vCAT not only
includes an expanded cloud technology scope but
also begins to address how to operate a VMware
cloud environment as well. Gartner found that
Management and Operations Processes was the
number one challenge identified by participants
of its Data Center Conference. Recognizing
this as one of the very key challenges in cloud
computing, VMware provides its customers,
through vCAT 3.0, a maturity model and
operations framework-based set of operational
and organizational “design” considerations.
This session introduces the participants to vCAT
in general, the VMware Cloud Operations Maturity
Model and Framework, and the resulting key
operational and organizational considerations for
operating a VMware cloud environment as found
in the “Operating a VMware Cloud” document
contained in vCAT 3.0.

SPO3304 Best Practices for
Collaborative DevOps with Optimal
Application Performance in VMware
Environments
Technical Level:
Speaker(s): Pratik Gupta, IBM;
Robin Hernandez, IBM
HALL 8, LOWER LEVEL | Room C3
Are you missing windows of opportunity for
adopting new and innovative business solutions?
Does a lack of collaboration and poor visibility
across organizations keep you from achieving
your business objectives? Statistics show that
more than 50% of applications released to
production are rolled back, over budget and
missing critical features. The most innovative
companies know that finding ways to quickly
develop and deploy revenue generating
software on time and under budget are the key
to success. Accuracy and agility are critical to
DevOps, however, effective collaboration between
Development and Operations to deliver scalable
and manageable software can be a challenge.
Join this session to hear an integrated approach
that will help you facilitate the successful
deployment and adoption of new services.
Learn how you can set up a DevOps project
workflow, track project changes, implement
no-touch automatic execution of tasks, leverage
an internal library to track versions of releases,
and utilize a dashboard to gain visibility of flow
and metrics that will help you reduce production
problems and improve the performance and
speed of your DevOps process.
Also understand trends and directions in
application performance management and new
innovations that dramatically simplify your ability
to ensure availability and performance of your
applications. How can you quickly diagnose a
problem and fix it quickly? How can you ensure
the availability and performance of my overall
application workload? How can I use workload
specific knowledge and instrumentation to better
manager my environment?
