Notas do Editor
Before I start, I want to take a quick poll of the audience. How many of you experience an IT environment that looks similar to this chart here where Business Expectations are growing faster than the ability of IT to deliver. Also how many of you have flat IT budgets this year?
I want to welcome you to the new reality of the mobile-cloud era.
Today with more users, more endpoints, and more data than ever before, there is a widening gap between business expectations and ability of IT to deliver. The dynamic nature of the mobile-cloud era today means that traditional ways of managing IT are simply not feasible anymore.
We know that innovation is the key to enabling IT to deliver at the speed of business – and we know that freeing resources, and shifting them from maintenance to innovative projects is the only way to get there.
We need game changing technology that bridges this gap
<CLICK>
and enables IT to deliver at the speed of Business.
To stay ahead of the competition and take advantage of business opportunities, infrastructure needs to be designed for secure delivery of cloud, mobile, social and big data applications
In order for IT to support business growth, consistent management and automation of the virtual data center is a critical first step
Optimizing infrastructure efficiency and IT productivity frees up resources that could be better spent on more meaningful projects.
Improving performance and reducing downtime remains a complex and expensive challenge—and IT teams need to be able to proactively address these issues rather than see first reports from end users
IT needs meaningful insights – all in one place, across the whole stack and leveraging all types of Monitoring data —so IT teams can take proactive action
IT needs to have better visibilities into dependencies of application and infrastructure components to avoid unwanted side effects of changes and extended trouble shooting
In order for teams to spend time where they can add most value, a wide and diverse range of manual tasks need to be safely automated at an effective scale
IT needs customizable and adaptable tools in order to safely automate in dynamic environments with policies and control
To become more efficient in resource utilization and application performance, IT needs to optimize initial placement and ongoing balancing of workloads
To improve operations, IT standards and security hardening guidelines must be more consistently and confidently enforced across the virtual infrastructure.
Today’s reality is that operations management to achieve the goals of SLAs, efficiency and control is a tough job. Why?
Because the tools that you use today don’t make it easy to manage the environment.
There is too much data, too many alerts, leading to fire drills and finger pointing. End users are often our best “monitoring tools” as they tell us something is not working.
In the physical world, we tend to overprovision because experience tells us that when you have enough resources, there shouldn’t be any problems. If you apply this mindset to a virtualized environment, you’ll negate the benefits of server consolidation.
So what exactly is vSphere with Operations Management?
Simply stated, vSphere with Operations Management takes your
<CLICK>
favorite edition of vSphere be it Standard, Enterprise, or Enterprise+
<CLICK>
and combines it with vRealize Operations Manager Standard.
<CLICK>
The Result is a bundle called vSphere with Operations Management that combines the world’s leading virtualization platform with management tools that gives you the ability to monitor health, reclaim capacity, and gain efficiency in your datacenter environment.
It’s has been nearly 3 years since the last major release of vSphere.
Since then…. Virtualization has become ubiquitous in data centers. 2012 marked the year where the number of virtualized workloads surpassed the number of non-virtualized workloads. And each subsequent year has seen the percentage of virtualized workloads steadily increase. However, there are new categories of workloads that are perceived as un-virtualizable or too risky to virtualize. In some cases, users have also just never considered putting these newer applications on a virtualization platform. vSphere broke down the barriers for virtualizing business-critical applications such as Oracle and Exchange, but now new cloud, mobile, social, and big data applications as well as other scale-up and scale-out applications hinder data centers from being 100% virtualized.
In this launch, VMware will show the industry that the vSphere platform is also the best place for these new applications just as it continues to be for the more traditional business-critical applications.
vSphere 6 will showcase three major pillars of innovation:
The first pillar of innovation is that vSphere 6 empowers users to virtualize scale-up and scale-out applications with confidence. Furthermore with vSphere 6, customers will be able to build and operate the cloud their way with the VMware stack or with open source technologies such as containers and OpenStack.
In the second pillar, vSphere 6 redefines availability through new industry-first features that minimizes downtime for applications over a broader set of environments and uses cases.
Finally, vSphere 6 simplifies management of the virtual data center content and infrastructure through a combination of new features that makes managing workloads more seamless.
Let me dive deeper into each of these pillars.
Chart illustrating that vSphere 6 can virtualize both scale-up and scale-out applications and everything in between.
We’ve increased the maximums again with this release.
vSphere 6 clusters can now support 64 hosts with 8000 virtual machines. This is up from 32 hosts and 4000 virtual machines.
vSphere 6 Hosts can now support 480 physical CPU’s and 12 TB of RAM, each host can now also support up to 1000 virtual machines.
Use Case:
Hadoop/Big Data Workloads
Scale-out applications will see greater consolidation ratios and improved performance with larger cluster sizes and greater virtual machine densities
vSphere Big Data Extensions simplifies and automates the process of provisioning and configuring production Hadoop clusters
2015 will include following features:
We will enable shared access to physical GPUs on NVIDIA GRID GPU hardware for high performance 3D workloads.
Also we will use native NVIDIA drivers
These improvements will meet super high performance needs that healthcare, manufacturing, higher education, and oil & gas may have.
Instant Clone, a technology built into vSphere 6.0, a foundation is put in place to allow for rapid cloning and provisioning of virtual desktops without overwhelming the storage with I/O intensive operations. With Instant Clone, users can deploy thousands of virtual desktops in a matter of minutes versus what would normally take hours.
Many organizations have several vCenters servers across diverse geographic locations, and on these vCenters there is most likely a collection of templates and ISOs. Currently there is function within vCenter to centrally manage the templates and distribute them to all locations. The Content Catalog provides the ability to centrally manage content and ensure it’s distributed across the infrastructure.
vCenter’s Content Library provides simple and effective management for:
VM templates
vApps
ISO images
Scripts
Use Cases:
Centrally manage VM templates
Distribute templates globally
Guarantee identical versions of templates/ISOs are available to all locations
Accomplish automatic VM template lifecycle. New templates are automatically distributed and old templates are deleted.
The Content Library breaks down into three main features. Here is a summary of those features.
Store and manage content
Share content
Consume content
As stated previously, the Content Library provides the ability to store and manage content. This ensures that the latest versions of the templates are available across the infrastructure.
In addition to virtual machine templates, vApp templates, ISO files, and scripts can also be stored within a Content Library.
There are three types of Catalog Libraries
Local Catalog – Local only to the local vCenter
Published Catalog – A local library that is published for catalog subscribers
Subscribed Catalog – A library that syncs with a published library
There are also two types of subscriptions to a published catalog.
Immediate Download (aka Automatic Subscription) – The entire contents of the published catalog are copied to the subscriber.
On-Demand - Instead of downloading all the data at once, only the metadata is downloaded as a reference to the content on the published library. This allows the administrator to download full catalog items only when needed by synchronizing individual items of within the catalog.
The vSphere Web Client went through extensive optimization around both performance and usability.
Recent Tasks moved to bottom
Flattened right click menus
Deep lateral linking
Both the classic Windows installation and the vCenter Server appliance support all the new vCenter Server 6 scale numbers.
There is no longer a difference in scale between Windows and the Appliance!
Windows installs support embedded Postgres, external SQL, and external Oracle Databases. Full scale is still supported when running the embedded Postgres database.
The Appliance supports embedded Postgres or external Oracle Databases. Full scale is still supported when running the embedded Postgres database.
Use Case:
Customers can now deploy the version that makes sense for their business without worrying about sacrificing stability or scalability.
Customers can begin to move to the Appliance at their own pace while still having full interoperability between the Windows and Appliance vCenter Servers.
In order to get rid of the challenges we discussed in the last slide i.e. monitoring overlaid, finger pointing, etc., what we need is a set of tools targeted for specific areas. There needs to tools to manage each of the fiver pillars of Operational Analytics: log management, capacity management, configuration management etc.
Sure you do have lots of options to chose a virtualization mgmt tool, but what really moves the needle is this: you need comprehensive operations analytics that drives a higher level of automation. automation that works for you, not against you.
Analytics can be used to leverage past, present and expected future behavior to get better insights into your specific environment. Traditional monitoring tool and one-size-fits all approaches don't cut it, no matter how cheap they say they are.
And then the other point is that in a modern datacenter, the virtualization platform and the management tools work together to help you deliver more value to your business.
Example: automation - placement and balancing of workloads (DRS, Storage DRS) are enhanced by the recommendations and actions suggested by vR Ops to find better hosts/clusters if demands change and to proactively relocate workloads based on stress patterns.
----- Meeting Notes (11/4/14 12:17) -----
This should come before automated remediation
Operations teams can greatly benefit from unlocking the largely untapped value hidden in logs to improve service levels.
The ability to quickly search for patterns and details in logs is critical for ops teams get to the root cause quickly.
Increased integration between vCM and vRealize Operations Manager allows you to monitor critical configuration standards within the Operations Manager console. You can also do some compliance inside vRealize Operations. It can do vSphere hardening for hosts and VMs. You can’t jump over to VCM for remediation.
Here is one example to show how we enable a holistic view into your operations.
Rather than managing VMs as black boxes, we can discover application and infrastructure dependencies, monitor at the infrastructure and application level and provide customized views for each team.
The latest 6.1 release is all about Intelligent Workload Management. There are two significant ways in which this latest release is going to make the lives of our customers better. We do it through these new capabilities –
Intelligent Workload Balancing
In a typical virtualized data center, workloads are often placed sub-optimally, resulting in inefficient usage of clusters. Additionally, the ongoing balancing of resources is a difficult, time-consuming, and non-strategic activity.
With vRealize Operations 6.1, we provide the solution. You can now visualize how your clusters are loaded with workloads across clusters, vCenters, and data centers. And you can get a Balancing Plan that recommends optimal placement of the workloads and balances the workloads across clusters.
This helps customers save time and be more productive, and also optimize the utilization of their existing capacity, helping reduce future CapEx.
Integrated OS Monitoring (available by adding vROI)
Monitoring OS and infrastructure is complex, requires multiple tools, and can lead to blind spots.
With this release, we have made OS monitoring available natively in vRealize Operations Insight. This means you have a single solution to monitor and manage your environment, making management easier, troubleshooting faster, and providing a more streamlined usage experience.
Predictive analytics help IT to proactively identify and avoid potential issues across infrastructure and application stacks in one place.
Intelligent Workload Placement and Proactive Rebalancing:
“It’s your library, and we help you be organized, and put books back into the right shelves.”
Customer Benefit: Time savings, and optimal resource utilization.
Differentiation: Every customer environment is different. Our self-learning analytics approach adapts to each unique environment, unlike a one-size-fits-all approach that other vendors use.
Integrated OS Monitoring:
“It’s like a Apple Watch for your data center. We constantly monitor and capture all the right metrics, and give you the results and expert advice, all in one place.”
Customer Benefit: Comprehensive coverage and proactive visibility into the entire stack with a streamlined usage experience.
Differentiation: Single solution for monitoring and analytics.
