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.

Micro-segmentation conceptual design


The micro segmentation solution contains various components that must be integrated to make them work well together. These components range from networking devices and infrastructure services, to storage area network devices and applications. Each of these components has a large number of potentially valid configurations, but only a few of these configurations result in an integrated, functional system that meets the specified business and technical requirements of a solution.

The key components in the conceptual design are described in the following sections:

  • Internal project networks: These networks represent the main project's workloads; these workloads can be virtual cloud-based, or legacy physical and virtual-based. The customer’s network security model allows systems of any type to reside in alternative networks classified in multiple zones: Intranet (ISZ), and Secured (Newyork). Standard rules of this network security model allow for VMs in Newyork...
