4. Drivers for Extending Your Data Center
Capacity
limitations
Efficiency
Increased
geographic
coverage
• Running out of data center
capacity
• Upgrading existing data center
requires significant CapEx
investment
• Tiering of workloads across
data centers
• Short-term workloads are
inefficient uses of available
capacity
• Merger, acquisition,
or branch location
• Geographic diversity
Key: Compatibility and Connectivity

5. Four Development and Testing Themes
5
The Best Platform for All Applications
Quickly try out
new applications
that can provide
new business
value without any
constraints on
your existing
infrastructure
Test new
applications
Easily perform
upgrades in an
isolated
environment
without posing
any risk to your
production apps
and infrastructure
Test upgrades
of current
applications
Start new
development
initiatives and
“sandbox”
projects with the
freedom that the
cloud brings.
Develop brand
new in-house
applications
Reinvent your
software
development
lifecycle by
creating a hybrid
DevOps
experience for
your developers
Cloudify your
SDLC

environments,
and short-term
usage
Build & Destroy
Data center
consolidation and
app rationalization
is easier on a

Great to “SaaS-ify”
applications to
create hosted

§ Single interface and common
management
§ Designed to integrate with vCloud Air
§ Doesn’t require “console hopping”

9. The Best Cloud for Enterprise Applications
§ vCloud Air is the only cloud that can
provide the exact same application
architecture support for both your
existing data center and the cloud.
Benefits
§ Same vSphere platform means complete
application component portability (e.g.
operating system, middleware, database,
etc.).
§ No need to re-architect applications just to
run them in the cloud.
§ Create true hybrid DevOps environment
for deploying enterprise applications in
your existing data center and the cloud

What app provisioning should be …
An application architect uses a self-serve application provisioning portal to fully provision and update
applications across any registered cloud.
