10. vMotion without Shared Storage

11. vSphere Data Protection

12. vSphere Replication

13. vShield Endpoint

14. Other Enhancements • vMotion Enhancements • One action for vMotion and Storage vMotion without Shared Storage • Enhanced Web Client • Expect this to be last Virtual Infrastructure Client for Windows (everything is going to Web Client) • Single Sign-On for multiple vCenters • vOrchestator updates • Enhanced workflows for VM automation processes • Launch workflows from with Web Client http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/techpaper/Whats-New-VMware-vSphere-51-Platform-Technical-Whitepaper.pdf

15. Other Enhancements • Virtual Machine Updates • Windows 8 Server and Desktop Support • Enhanced CPU Virtualization (Example: Microsoft XP Mode on Windows 7/8) • 64 vCPUs and 1TB of RAM • Hardware-Accelerated 3D Graphics • 3D graphics card support for Windows 7/8 based VMware View desktops on VMware vSphere • NVIDIA only http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/techpaper/Whats-New-VMware-vSphere-51-Platform-Technical-Whitepaper.pdf

16. Other Enhancements • Enhanced Auto Deploy • Stateless (AKA Diskless) • Stateless Caching Mode • Stateful Install Mode • VM Tools Compatibility • Notification in client letting you know what level of ESX host compatibility the VM Tools will allow http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/techpaper/Whats-New-VMware-vSphere-51-Platform-Technical-Whitepaper.pdf

17. Software defined datacenters – What are they and how will they help you?

18. What is it? • Term Coined by VMware for the basis of cloud computing (private and public). • Four Key Elements: Computing, Network, Storage and Security • It allows its tenants to have their own virtual datacenter with an isolated collection of all the compute, storage, networking, and security resources that they are used toin a traditional Datacenter. • Hardware independent platform that is served up by the hypervisor.

20. How will it help you. • The “Datacenter” can grow and shrink to efficiently use physical resources. • No upfront hardware cost to you. • Resources on demand • Time to deploy these resources can be orders of magnitude faster than in most of today’s IT environments.

21. VMware vCloud Director Suite Information

22. Licensing • VMware vCloud Director requires VMware vSphere Enterprise edition or higher licenses and at least one instance of vCenter Server Standard • Enables “Virtual Datacenters” • vCloud Networking and Security Technologies • Isolated Multi-tenant Organizations • Self-service Web Portal • VMware vCenter Single Sign-On • Integrated vSphere Profile-Driven Storage and vSphere Storage DRS

23. Support for 64 Virtual CPU’s and 1 TB of memory • Simplified software defined networking. • Compute, storage and networking now can be created in a single workflow, enabling administrators to deploy a complete infrastructure in minutes • Now able to take a snapshot of a single virtual machine or an entire vApp. After a snapshot has been taken, a user easily can revert to that point in time when it was taken.

24. VCNS Gateways provide the following services: • Load Balancing • DNS • Firewall • NAT • DHCP • Additional Documentation • For more information about VMware vCloud Director, visit the product pages at: http://www.vmware.com/products/vcloud-director/overview.html. • You can access the documentation for vCloud Director by going to: http://www.vmware.com/support/pubs/vcd_pubs.html

25. VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager (SRM) What's New and Technical Overview

26. Challenges of traditional Recovery methods

28. How SRM complements vSphere

29. Required Components of SRM

30. Broad Replication Choices

31. Other SRM 5.1 Updates • Updates for known issues • SRM 5.1 supports reprotect and failback with array based and vSphere Replication • SRM 5.1 is now fully 64-bit • Improved disk resignaturing for VFMS disks • Improved handling of datastores in the all paths down (APD) state http://www.vmware.com/support/srm/srm-releasenotes-5-1-0.html#whatsnew

32. So do I buy SRM or just use vSphere Replication by itself? • vSphere Replication • No DR orchestration, purely replication (No automated failover or failback procedures) • Expect increase in RAM and CPU utilization needed to manage the replication (less VM density per host) • Can migrate VM Protection configurations to SRM • Can be great for Branch Office to Datacenter Replication or for keeping copies of local VMDK VMs replicated to another host with local disk • No Orchestration of DR Events • Less VM Density per host • Can be migrated to SRM

33. VMware View Updates (including Wanova acquisition update)

37. Persona Management

43. Wanova Mirage • Now called VMware Mirage • Still appears to be licensed seperaly then View • Did show VMware View integration at keynote

44. Key Features • Centralized single image management with local execution • Total image recovery • Fill bi-directional network optimization and integrated deduplication • Integrated PC break-fix and troubleshooting • User initiated backup and restore • Automated OS and Hardware migration

45. Technology Overview

46. Impact of Anti-Virus products on VMware View deployments

47. Project Virtual Reality Checkhttp://www.projectvrc.com/ • Independent Consultants from Europe • Jeroen van de Kamp, CTO - Login Consultants • Ruben Spruijt, Technology Officer - PQR • Sven Huisman, Consultant - PQR • Standardized testing using Login VSI and standard applications (Office, IE, Acrobat, Flash, etc.) to simulate load • Same tests leverage by HP, Dell, IBM, Citrix, VMWare, Microsoft, Cisco, VCE, etc.

48. Tested Anti-Virus Solutions (Work in progress) • Traditional AV Scanners • McAfee Enterprise 8 • Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1 • Trend Micro OfficeScan 10.6 • Microsoft Forefront Endpoint Protection 2010 • Hypervisor based scanners • McAfee MOVE AV 2.0 • Trend Micro Deep Security Scan Symantec 12.1.2 with vShield Endpoint integration was not released yet

49. Maximum number of desktops: Stateless desktops <5% <10% when optimized ~5% offloaded to 15% on host ~13% to 25% <15% to 25% ~35%

50. Maximum number of desktops: Stateful desktops <5% <10% when optimized ~5% offloaded to 15% on host ~13% to 25% <15% to 25% (Needs more testing according to VRC) <15% to 25% ~35%
