INF-STO1545 Architecting Storage
DRS Datastore Clusters
Technical Level:
Speaker(s): Frank Denneman, VMware, Inc.;
Valentin Hamburger, VMware, Inc.
HALL 8, LOWER LEVEL | Room B2
In this session Frank Denneman and Valentin
Hamburger will cover and explain in great detail
what to consider when building a Storage DRS
datastore cluster. Introducing the concept of
datastore clusters can affect or shift the paradigm
of storage management in virtual infrastructures.
The goal is to demonstrate the relationship
between the datastore cluster and existing
objects in the virtual infrastructure and how the
introduction of datastore clusters can effect
various design decisions. This session is a must
for anyone implementing Storage DRS that
wants to maximize their cluster and vSphere
resource designs.
INF-VSP1423 esxtop for
Advanced Users
Technical Level:
Speaker(s): Krishna Raj Raja, VMware, Inc.
HALL 8, LOWER LEVEL | Room F4
This is an advanced technical session for ESX/
ESXi administrators who want to understand the
various counters exposed by esxtop. This talk will
cover various troubleshooting scenarios and will
provide insights into the inner workings of the
VMware® ESX® hypervisor.

Deliver Your IT Services in the Cloud
Technical Level:
Speaker(s): Burke Azbill, VMware, Inc.;
Matthew Carpenter, VMware, Inc.
HALL 8, LOWER LEVEL | Room B1
Come to this breakout session to learn what
went into the creation of the Hands-on Lab

from the lab content and highlight how different
VMware products work well together.
ITT3244 Planning and Measuring
the Impact of Cloud: IT Metrics that
Matter
Technical Level:
Speaker(s): Sanjay Mirchandani, VMware, Inc.;
Craig Stanley, VMware, Inc.
HALL 8, LOWER LEVEL | Room G1
Cloud computing provides a unique opportunity
for IT to measure its impact based on metrics
that are increasingly relevant to the business.
The ability to measure and communicate
metrics that illustrate the impact of cloud on
agility, efficiency, and reliability is essential to
demonstrating the impact of IT as a strategic
differentiator.
During this session, VMware will share insights
from enterprises and global service providers
implementing cloud environments, including
business-relevant IT metrics to measure success,
benchmarking processes that can assist in
identifying key metrics, industry IT benchmarks
that enable organizations to compare their
performance to industry peers, and the
importance of starting a cloud implementation
with clearly established goals and baseline IT
metrics. During this session, attendees will better
understand:
• How do I measure the success of my Cloud
implementation?
• Which metrics are most relevant for new
Cloud environments?
• How does my Cloud implementation perform
when compared with industry benchmarks?

OPS-CSM2150 Lab Management with
VMware vCloud Director: Software
Development Customer Panel
Technical Level:
Panel: David Ashman, Thomson Reuters;
Shane Kelly, Ericsson;
Jason Puig, Symantec
Moderator: Cathal Cleary, VMware, Inc.
HALL 8, LOWER LEVEL | Room A2
Software developers and testers are the most
aggressive consumers of infrastructure in most
enterprises. For software teams, every minute
waiting for infrastructure is an opportunity cost in
product development time to market. To respond
to these aggressive needs, software development
teams are leveraging VMware vCloud Director®
to deliver complete and isolated infrastructure
to developers and testers in a matter of minutes.
While consumers get the infrastructure they need
in minutes, IT administrators are experiencing
unprecedented productivity, often provisioning
hundreds of virtual machines per day. In this
session, listen to a panel of thought leaders from
Symantec, McKesson and DST Systems to learn
about how they are accelerating infrastructure
delivery in software development lab environments.
