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 Foundation


VMware Cloud Foundation software establishes a unified SDDC platform for the hybrid cloud. In the context of the private cloud, customers can deploy VMware Cloud Foundation software on top qualified ready nodes from HPE, QCT, Fujitsu, and others in the future, with qualified networking.

VMware Cloud Foundation has been designed from the start to be the simplest path to an SDDC private cloud, enabling certified VMware partners or customers to build SDDC clouds based on VMware Cloud Foundation for use at the time of delivery or build:

VMware Cloud Foundation overview

Once a VMware Cloud Foundation system is delivered, customers simply need to connect it to a network and, in a matter of hours, they have a complete SDDC cloud with compute, storage, networking, security, and management.

VMware Cloud Foundation integrates logical and physical compute, storage, and networking into a unified solution. It brings together VMware's compute, storage, and network virtualization into...
