VMware Cross-Cloud Architecture

By: Ajit Pratap Kundan

Overview of this book

Over the past two decades, VMware vSphere has been known as the most trusted and reliable virtualization platform. VMware Cross-Cloud Architecture shows you how to design and configure Cross Cloud Architecture by using VMware Cloud Foundation and vRealize Suite with various use cases across private, public, and hybrid Cloud. This book takes you through everything from a basic understanding of virtualization to advanced aspects of storage and network virtualization, clustering, automation, and management. This book will be your guide to designing all aspects of Cloud. We start with the challenges faced by a traditional data center, define problem statements for you, and then brief you on respective solutions. Moving on, all kinds of virtualization and Cloud offerings from AWS and IBM Soft Layer are introduced and discussed in detail. Then, you'll learn how to design IT infrastructures for new and existing applications with a combination of Cloud Foundation, vRealize Suite, and vSphere enabled with VSAN and NSX. Furthermore, you'll learn how to design and configure high availability, disaster recovery, and apply an appropriate compliance matrix. Toward the end of the book, you will learn how to calculate the TCO/ROI, along with the VMware products packaging and licensing in detail.

VMware Cloud (SDDC) assessment, design, and deploy service solution overview


The solution provides customers the flexibility to select additional capabilities to complement the base core components which easily interlock with the target platform.

The VMware Virtualization Design and Deploy Service is built for a customer who is adopting or expanding their virtualization infrastructure deployment. The service provides a comprehensive design of the virtual infrastructure, followed by the deployment and validation of the solution using the capabilities provided by vSphere.

The primary objective of this service is to design and deploy a virtualization solution using vSphere according to a documented architecture that can be successfully implemented and validated in the customer's environment. This includes utilization of vSAN if appropriate for the environment.

Secondary objectives include the following:

  • To provide a virtualization solution overview and knowledge transfer so that customers can effectively...
