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.

Interoperability and integration


Interoperability is the key parameter of any system or product to work seamlessly with other systems or products without any operational overhead to the customer.

This chapter focuses on all important components that are required for a solution architecture and can provide all necessary out-of-the-box capabilities.

The interoperability between two different vendors' products/solutions depends on a past, present, and future roadmap, considering various customer requirements for their specific deployment scenarios and use cases.

Integration is a process in which separately produced components or subsystems are combined and problems in their interactions are addressed. The supported integrations between different products can vary based on changes in the past, current, and future use cases. We should review in detail any architecture design, deployment scenarios, limitations, or challenges with a customer's existing infrastructure, whether it is a physical, software...
