VMware Software-Defined Data Center, also known as virtualization, is the first step toward the VMware vCloud Air Virtual Private Cloud creates portable workloads and place workloads on premises, off premises or both. You choose where your applications live and you retain full management control. Extends your data center, you can use the same management tools and both on site and offsite cloud environments. You can also set your networks to mimic your existing data center settings. High availability and load balancing are included at no extra cost. VMware vCloud Air Virtual Private Cloud also offers total edge gateway control. VMware vCloud Air Virtual Private Cloud is ideal for smaller workloads and tight budgets. It’s also an excellent option for workloads that don’t need dedicated hardware and can be deployed in a multi tenant environment.

Introduced by VMware more than a decade ago, x86 server virtualization has become a standard technology used by a vast majority of data centers worldwide. Servers deployed the conventional way operate at less than 15 percent of capacity. Virtualization rewrites the entire equation. CPU and memory are decoupled from physical hardware, creating pools of resources for use wherever needed. Each virtualized application and its operating system are encapsulated in a separate, isolated software container called a virtual machine (VM). Many VMs can be run simultaneously on each server, putting the majority of hardware capacity to productive use. The results have transformed server efficiency by offering superior performance, higher availability, and significant savings. The result is IT achieves significantly more at dramatically lower cost through virtualization.

Creates portable workloads and place workloads on premises, off premises or both. You choose where your applications live and you retain full management control. Extends your data center, you can use the same management tools and both on site and offsite cloud environments. You can also set your networks to mimic your existing data center settings. High availability and load balancing are included at no extra cost. VMware vCloud Air Virtual Private Cloud also offers total edge gateway control. VMware vCloud Air Virtual Private Cloud is ideal for smaller workloads and tight budgets. It’s also an excellent option for workloads that don’t need dedicated hardware and can be deployed in a multi tenant environment. Gain robust hybrid capabilities with workload portability. Seamless networking, and common management make it easy to extend to the cloud from on premises environments.

VMware Software-Defined Data Center Storage

VMware Software-Defined Data Center storage (VMware SDS) strategy is to evolve storage architectures through the pervasive hypervisor. Bringing to storage the simplicity, efficiency, and cost savings that server virtualization brought to compute. Software-Defined Storage abstracts the underlying storage through a virtual data plane. Making the VM, and thus the application, the fundamental unit of storage provisioning and management across heterogeneous storage systems. By creating a flexible separation between applications and available resources, the hypervisor can balance all IT resources. Compute, memory, storage and networking — needed by an application. The fully virtualized data center is automated and managed by intelligent, policy based data center management software, vastly simplifying governance and operations. A single, unified management platform lets you centrally monitor and administer all applications across physical geographies, heterogeneous infrastructure and hybrid clouds.

VMware Software-Defined Data Center Virtualization

What is network virtualization, and how does it differ from Software-Defined Networking (SDN)? In contrast to VMware Software-Defined Data Center, in which hardware remains the driving force. VMware network virtualization technology truly decouples network resources from underlying hardware. Virtualization principles are applied to physical network infrastructure, abstracting network services to create a flexible pool of transport capacity that can be allocated, utilized and repurposed on demand. In a close analogy to the virtual machine, a virtualized network is a software container that presents logical network components. Logical switches, routers, firewalls, load balancers, VPNs and more — to connected workloads. These virtualized networks are programmatically created, provisioned and managed, with the underlying physical network serving as a simple packet forwarding back plane. Network and security services are allocated to each VM according to its needs, and stay attached to it as the VM moves among hosts in the dynamic virtualized environment.
