The Software-Defined Data Center Approach

Ideal architecture for the hybrid cloud

• All infrastructure services virtualized: compute, networking, storage

• Control of data center automated by software (management, security)

• Unified platform for existing and new apps, delivered to many devices

Operating System

Create a new virtual machine vSphere (Web) Client Manually create a new virtual machine Clone a template

Install an Operating System Manual install (CD/DVD) Windows Deployment Services Clone a template 3rd Party Deployment tools

vCenter OrchestratorAutomate and Integrate

Orchestration

vCenter Orchestrator

‘VMware’s Best Kept Secret’

Enables Automation Create powerful workflows easily by dragging and dropping pre-built actions

Enables Integration Integrate VMware solutions into your IT environment and processes Third Party Integration: CMDB, Service Desk, Monitoring Systems, Databases, Web Services, …

Provides a Workflow Engine Included with vSphere

15

Graphical Workflow Environment

Drag & Drop Reduce learning curve Reduce workflow development

Based on existing building blocks Workflows Actions Resource elements Predefined scriptable tasks

Third Party Integration Direct (API) Indirect (file, DB, e-mail) External triggers (SNMP) 3rd Party Plugins

The Power Of vRealize OrchestratorAdapt and Extend vRA Using vRealize Orchestrator

Backup/Restore

New Features Call vRO workflows from various points in the

lifecycle Create new custom IT Services Add new day-2 actions to existing services

Benefits

Provides many more capabilities for IaaS and App Services through 3rd party integrations

Provides improved support for provisioning and lifecycle processes
