Challenges for VM migrating to cloud

• Convert the VM to proprietary format

• Manually change the configuration

• Different to clone environments

Ravello is an overlay cloud that lets enterprises run their VMware workloads on

various public clouds – without converting & migrating virtual machines.

Agility: Greater agility with

blueprinting for rapid

deployments & collaboration

Cost Reduction: Up to 60%

cost reduction with hourly

usage-based pricing

Lift & Shift: Freedom to run

existing VMware apps on

leading public clouds

Ravello: Overlay Cloud


Ravello: Why Overlay Cloud???

Oracle Confidential – Restricted 14

> 50% of the DC workloads are VMware based.

VMware VMs don’t run on public cloud natively –

they do on Ravello

VMware virtual appliances differ from cloud

equivalents VMware virtual appliances are unavailable on public

cloud – they are on Ravello

Layer 2 networking crucial for many apps to function

L2 networking is unsupported on public cloud – it is on Ravello

Native AWS, Azure & Google IaaS offerings are not VMware-compatible and do not provide workloads portability across Public Clouds and Data Centers.


• Saves License and Support Cost associated with VMWare’s Hypervisor (ESX) and Management Tools (VSphere)

• Significantly reduces the consulting services cost associated with migrating many Virtual Machines from on-premises to the Cloud

• Significantly reduces the cost of re-testing application workloads on VMWare and KVM when migrating them from on-premises to the Cloud

•Makes migration faster, allows to shutdown Data Centers faster.

•Uses lower cost and higher quality Infrastructure-as-a-Service

• Savings in Data Center OpEx costs

• Runs VMs exported from VMware / KVM private cloud setup without any change including network/security appliances (F5 Big IP, Check Point, Fortinet, …)

• Runs any VMware VM in any public cloud / region


Software Defined Network - Full L2 Overlay

• Complete control of any L2 and L3 network configuration

• No dependency on underlying cloud

• Private static IPs, multiple subnets

• Multiple NICs per VM

• Multiple public IPs per NIC / VM

• Console access

• Control of switch settings

• VLANs

• Trunk / access ports

• Promiscuous / mirror ports

• DNS, DHCP services

• Public IPs, Elastic IPs

Software Defined Network - Fully fenced

• Fully fenced network in each ‘capsule’

• One-click duplication of identical environments

• No IP collisions, no scripting to adjust IPs for each new copy

Use-case: Oracle Primevera running on VMware in customer’s DC – need copies of app on cloud for dev-test

Data Center based Primevera

Admin 12c

Primevera User

Steps to move this app to cloud

1 Upload the four VMware VMs to Ravello

2 ’Drag & drop’ VMs into a Ravello ‘application’

3 Setup networking on Ravello to mirror DC networking {if configuration is not automatically imported}

4 Publish


Drag and Drop the VM


Accessing the VM via Console


Clone an application from Blueprint


Configuring Ravello virtual network to look like DC network

On-Premise Virtualized Workloads

Compute Cloud • Set up Dev/Test Environments

• Allows customers to create development and test environments on a Public Cloud using VMWare

• Allows customers to maintain compatibility with their on-premises production VMWare stack

• On-Premises Workloads Migration

• Allows customers to migrate the Application Workload to the Public Cloud without any changes

• Allows customers to eliminate VMware’s Hypervisor (ESX) and Management Tools

Ravello: Use Cases


Solution Result Challenge

One of world’s largest online entertainment and solution providers, 888 has a massive VMware based application environment, with 250+ Windows VMs, multiple domain controllers, Fortinet firewalls, F5 load balancers with multiple subnets and VLANs.

Oracle Confidential – Internal 66

When 888 needed to expand to international markets they needed test environments identical to production -for regulators. Each environment took them three months to stand up, & slowed down their business.

Tried migrating to AWS for more agility but failed – mainly due to networking complexity

888 Holdings

Faster availability of the environment – time reduced from 3 months to 20 minutes

Parallel environments on demand for development, test and regulatory needs

Substantial cost savings due to on-demand usage

Ability to use capacity from any public cloud to run VMware environment

888 uploaded their VMware VMs to Ravello and deployed their application as is (including complex networking). Now every time a regulator needs a test environment they can spin one up in any geography in 20 minutes.


Solution Result Challenge

The world’s leading open source software provider, Red Hat maintained a physical data center for delivering partner and end-user training.

Oracle Confidential – Internal 67

Red Hat always ran out of training capacity during new product announcements and rollouts.

Because they didn’t have a global footprint, it meant a poor end-user experience for partners in international geographies.

The result of this was many untrained, or poorly trained, partners, which in turn resulted in lost revenue.

Red Hat

Achieved infinite elasticity to meet demand during training peaks

Deployed workloads all around the world improving end user experience

Substantial cost savings considering a 3 year TCO

Ability to train more partners faster on new product releases

The Red Hat GPE team creates complex environments in Ravello once, and then saves a blueprint. Now every channel partner can spin up an environment anywhere in the world with the click of a button. This is used for channel partner training as well as customer demos


Key Takeaways – Oracle Ravello

• Lift & Shift the VM to cloud easily

• Software Defined Network - Full L2 Overlay

• Easily clone the application with blue print
