• Achieving SDDC through Hyper-Converged Infrastructure
• Technology & Offering Overview ̶ EVO:RAIL ̶ EVO:RACK Tech Preview
• Recommended Breakout Sessions
Comparing Public and Private Clouds
Goals: Agile, Available, and Inexpensive
Public Cloud Private Cloud
Low-cost commodity x86 physical infrastructure (storage, servers, network)
High cost traditional x86 physical infrastructure (storage, servers, network)
Homogenous virtual infrastructure layer Heterogeneous virtual infrastructure layer
Purpose-built management stack Traditional management stack or purpose-built stack that integrates with traditional components

Challenges in Making SDDC Happen
9
• Troubleshooting • Support calls to multiple
vendors • Business interruption during
patching and upgrades
Lifecycle Management and Support
• Understand where to begin • Organizational structure and
process changes • Design a reference
architecture • Procure components from
different vendors • Time investment before first
VM deployment
Setup
• Make disparate infrastructure nodes (compute, storage and networking) work together
• Lack of automation and tools for workload provisioning and deployment
• Many points of control
Provisioning
One Destination, Three Approaches

Software-Defined Data Center
“Build Your Own” Converged Infrastructure Hyper-Converged Infrastructure
• Hardware (e.g. compute, storage, networking) and software components procured separately
• Use reference architectures
• Traditional data center components (e.g. shared storage hardware, servers, switches) integrated and sold in a single chassis, along with software options
• Server hardware pre-integrated with virtualization software for compute, network, storage and management, providing a single point of entry for the entire SDDC lifecycle
• Ease of procurement via prescriptive approach
• Design predictability • Faster time to
deployment • Simplified SDDC lifecycle
management • One support call
• Ease of procurement • Custom fit to environment • No limitations on
scalability • One support call
• Maximum customization and flexibility (hardware selection, scalability)
