IT must respond to custom requests and LOBs face queues

Users

May I have a

LAMP stack, please?

� Approval processes and queues

� Custom requests strain IT

� Hardware acquisition

� Infrastructure deployment

� Manual planning and provisioning

� Difficult capacity management

Infrastructure Admin

Granting self-service access reduces dependency on IT

Cloud Admin

End User or IT Representative

VMware vSphere

� Self-Service Portal

� Standardization with central catalog of templates and media

� No overprovisioning with feeling of infinite resources

For IT, this is a similarly challenging situation

From managing a highly

customized, siloed datacenter

To a standardized and pooled

datacenter

The hybrid cloud is the best model to capture these benefits

Cloud ServiceProviders

Hybrid CloudComposition of 2 or more interoperable clouds, enabling data and application portability

Public CloudAccessible over the Internet for general consumption

Private CloudOperated solely for an organization, typically within the firewall

VMware vCloud Director

� Builds on vSphere and scales up to

10,000 VMs and 25 vCenter Servers

� Creates virtual datacenters, by pooling

resources into new units of consumption

� Securely enables the cloud with

vShield, LDAP authentication, and RBAC

� Provides self-service portals and

standardized infrastructure catalogs

� Isolates users into organizations with

unique catalogs, policies, and LDAP

vCloud Director builds on vSphere to transform IT

� vCloud API enables inter-cloud portability,

programmatic control, and integrations

Users given direct, on-demand access to infrastructure services

� Three ways to connect

• Direct access through web-based

user portals

• Integrate into IT workflows and

request processes

• Programmatic access through

vCloud API

� Delegated controls

• Basic VM operations, including

provisioning and deprovisioning

• Move vApp to new VDC

• Customize the guest OS

• Adjust resource guarantees

� Yet, IT never loses control

12

Users deploy standard services from central catalogs

� Direct access to catalogs

through self-service portal

� Catalogs contain templates,

vApps, and Media

� Catalogs can be customized by

organization

• Users can be given permission to

create organization-wide catalogs

• Organizations can be given

permission to create datacenter-

wide catalogs

Users have an isolated infrastructure sandbox

� Organization Virtual Datacenters

are isolated resource pools

dedicated to an organization

� Logical abstraction between

application and underlying

hardware

� Access without risk of exceeding

capacity, bothering “neighbors,”

or creating security issues

� Can be offered at a predefined

SLA with corresponding costs
