Drivers for Extending Your Data Center

Capacity limitations

Efficiency

Increased geographic coverage

• Running out of data center capacity

• Upgrading existing data center requires significant CapEx investment

• Tiering of workloads across data centers

• Short-term workloads are inefficient uses of available capacity

• Merger, acquisition, or branch location

• Geographic diversity

Key: Compatibility and Connectivity 4

Four Development and Testing Themes

5

The Best Platform for All Applications

Quickly try out new applications that can provide new business

value without any constraints on your existing infrastructure

Test new applications

Easily perform upgrades in an

isolated environment

without posing any risk to your production apps

and infrastructure

Test upgrades of current

applications

Start new development initiatives and

“sandbox” projects with the freedom that the

cloud brings.

Develop brand new in-house applications

Reinvent your software

development lifecycle by

creating a hybrid DevOps

experience for your developers

Cloudify your SDLC

Four Key Themes for Extending Current Applications

The Best Platform for All Applications

Perfect for testing and development,

training environments, and short-term

usage

Build & Destroy

Data center consolidation and app rationalization

is easier on a common platform

Consolidation

Great to “SaaS-ify” applications to create hosted

versions.

Desktop-as-a-Service (DaaS)

vCloud Air – Disaster Recovery

1Dependent on available bandwidth

Simple and secure asynchronous replication and failover for VMware vSphere®

§  Warm standby capacity on vCloud Air §  Self-service protection, failover and

failback workflows per virtual machine

§  15 min1 – 24 hr. recovery point objective (RPO)

§  Initial data seeding by shipping a disk §  Includes: §  2 X 7-day disaster recovery

tests per year §  30 days of recovered virtual

machine run time

§  Single interface and common management

§  Designed to integrate with vCloud Air

§  Doesn’t require “console hopping”

The Best Cloud for Enterprise Applications

§  vCloud Air is the only cloud that can provide the exact same application architecture support for both your existing data center and the cloud.

Benefits §  Same vSphere platform means complete

application component portability (e.g. operating system, middleware, database, etc.).

§  No need to re-architect applications just to run them in the cloud.

§  Create true hybrid DevOps environment for deploying enterprise applications in your existing data center and the cloud
