Approaches to Implement the SDDC

Custom

Do It Yourself

• Design a custom architecture with in-house knowledge

• Manually deploy and maintain multiple individual software & hardware

components

Build Your Own

with

VMware Validated Designs

• VMware Validated Designs provide standardized designs, deployment

guides and day 2 operational guidance with extensive interop testing of

the software components

• Manually or automatically deploy individual software components following

the VVD guidelines and best practices to deploy and operate the SDDC

Fully Automated

with

VMware Cloud Foundation

• VMware Cloud Foundation is an integrated SDDC platform with built-in

automation for bring-up, configuration and patching/upgrading of the stack

• Automatically implement an SDDC with a validated architecture that reflects

VMware best practices by deploying VMware Cloud Foundation
