Operational demands limit business agility
Business and IT Leaders Say Cloud Enables Agility
SOURCE: Global Business Agility Survey, February 2011
80%+ associate business agility with revenue growth, cost reduction, and risk management
63% agree cloud can have a significant impact in making business more agile and responsive
Companies with enterprise-wide cloud deployments are 3x more likely to achieve business agility that is “much better than competition”
The Solution is for IT to Become an Enterprise Cloud Service Provider

QA
• Quickly spin up/ tear down to speed time to deployment
• Tap into the elasticity/ utility for no idle assets
• Reduces CapEx requirements
Deployment cycles reduced from weeks to days while maintaining visibility, compliance and security
• “Shadow IT” apps leading to compliance and data security concerns
• Long IT support cycles to spin up new environments hampered business agility
Challenge
• Extend the network and AD environment to an Enterprise Cloud Provider
• Consolidate and standardize processes while retaining flexibility
Solution
• Improved IT and business agility: Deployment cycles reduced from weeks to days while maintaining visibility, compliance and security

Business Agility Case Study: F1000 Manufacturer
“With a designated enterprise cloud partner we are realizing our vision of IT as a service.” - Director, IT IaaS Solutions Delivery
Private Cloud
vSphere Public Cloud DC #1
Datacenter Service Provider
Common Use Case – Spread Workloads across Clouds
vSphere
Keeping business mission critical in the datacenter and move other essential apps to the cloud
• Built in business continuity
• Operational offloading of routine tasks
• Strategic flexibility
Public Cloud DC #2
Transitioning to Exchange 2010 in the Cloud
Cloud Scale on Your Own Terms High availability /low latency via
DAGs, active /active deployment Retain control: unlimited mailbox
and message sizes; legacy features such as Public Folders
Conform to security policies and compliance needs (archiving and e-discovery)
Licensing freedom: your own Exchange license or SPLA
Optimize costs: scale user count up or down monthly with no minimums or penalties
Cloud Deployment Example
Exchange architecture is ideal for Hybrid Cloud
• Frequent outages and data loss; Managing infrastructure distracted from innovation and serving customers
Challenge
• Run back office applications securely from the enterprise cloud
• 800+ Exchange mailboxes and 1MM+ forwarding addresses
• Voice over IP• Financial apps: custom ERP, custom billing• File serving and file sharing
Solution
• Increased business agility • Reduced operational complexity and costs
Impact
Back Office Case study:
“Our entire business depends on the Tier 3 Cloud. It pretty much runs everything for us, so that we don’t have to.” - Andy Evans, Founder and CTO, Obeo

What is vCloud Powered?
A VMware-authorized “technology badge” for qualified service providers
• Cloud service runs on vSphere and vCloud Director™• Service exposes the full end-user vCloud API• Provides OVF image import and export
Signifies use of the VMware hybrid cloud architecture for application portability
• VMware vSphere™: robust virtualization platform• VMware vCloud Director:
• exposes virtualized shared infrastructure as multi-tenant virtual datacenters
• enables cost-effective access to the cloud service• leverages self-service catalogs to deploy and consume pre-
configured services.
• VMware vShield™ security technologies Leverages existing investments in VMware virtualization

VMware vCloud Connector
• Single pane of glass interface for hybrid clouds– View VMs & templates across vSphere & private/public vclouds
– Copy VMs & templates between clouds
– Power ops & Access Console on VMs on vCloud & vSphere
– Deploy vApp templates in vCloud (fenced mode)
– Search for VMs & templates by name
– Launch vCD console for deeper operations
• Efficient and reliable transfer mechanism– Point to point transfer between clouds
– Checkpoint restart to ensure reliable transfers
• Controlled sharing between users– Multiple vSphere Client and vcloud.vmware.com users can
share
– Each user needs to provide his own cloud credentials
• Accessible via multiple interfaces– Accessible via vSphere Client
– Accessible via browser in vcloud.vmware.com
• Management interface – Update of vCC Server & Node
vCloud Connector allows users to visualize, operate and copy workloads/templates between vCloud Powered clouds
