vCenter with External PSC
• Feedback on external PSCs suggests complicated lifecycle
• Configuration items, load balancers, backup and recovery, VCHA – make Lifecyle more difficult
• Domains, Sites, AD, latency are a little complicated
• Early vCenters supported Embedded Nodes Replication
We are looking at winding back the clock!

vCenter Server at Umpqua Bank

VMworld 2017 Content: Not fo

About Umpqua Bank
• Umpqua Bank is the West Coast’s largest independent community bank and is headquartered in Roseburg, Oregon.
• We have more than 330 locations, spanning from Seattle to San Diego and from the Oregon Coast to Idaho and into Northern Nevada.
• Our internationally recognized banking strategy offers the sophisticated products and expertise of a large bank, but delivers them with the personal service and community engagement of a community bank and the innovative experience of a great retailer.
• Instead of “branches” we call our locations “stores” and design them as inviting spaces for customers and others in the community to come in and enjoy. They’re meant to be gathering places for the community – to read the paper, surf the Internet, enjoy a cup of coffee, or even host an event.

About Umpqua Bank
• One way that Umpqua Bank supports its communities is through our Connect Volunteer Network, which provides Umpqua Bank associates with up to 40 hours of paid time off per year to volunteer with youth focused organizations and schools and community development programs.
• In 2015, 67 percent of Umpqua associates participated in Connect volunteering more than 50,000 hours in communities.
• In April 2014, we completed our merger with Sterling Financial; broadening our network and our ability to serve our communities, while remaining committed to staying a community bank at any size.

Challenges
• Dependency vCenter Server• Access for critical services
• Access by multiple teams
• Merger• Consolidating environments and teams
• Upgrade and configure environments to be consistent
• Centralize and simplify
• Patching and Upgrades • Fix security vulnerabilities
• Keep current
• Minimize downtime and risk
VMworld 2017 Content: Not fo

bution
Solution: vCenter Migration Tool
• Migrated from vCenter installed on Windows Server with external database to vCenter Appliance (VCSA)
• Opportunity to simplify the environment – Migrated to VCSA with embedded database and external Platform Service Controllers (PSC)
• Kept existing roles and user/group access – no change to RBAC
• vCenter Server Identity preserved – same IP address, hostname, certificates, etc.
• No changes or impact to connecting (compatible) services – No affect on backups, monitoring, security, etc.
VMworld 2017 Content: Not fo
r publication or distri
bution
Solution: Single SSO and ELM
• One Single-Sign-On (SSO) domain and Enhanced Link Mode (ELM)
• Replicate policies, roles, and permissions across multiple vCenter Servers
• Login to one vCenter and access to the other vCenter Servers
• Search for VMs and other objects across multiple vCenter Servers
VMworld 2017 Content: Not fo
r publication or distri
bution
Solution: Improved Patching and Backup
• Patching and upgrade of VCSA and PSC includes services, database, and OS• Less outages required - not patching separate Windows server for vCenter and
database. And patching of vCenter Server
• Single team patching
• New to 6.5 – File based backup of VCSA and PSC• Additional step to protect and rollback
• Restore option from vCenter Server Appliance 6.5 Installer
• Supports SCP, FTP/S, and HTTP/S
• New to 6.5 – Integrated Update Manager• Fewer Windows Server and databases

Conclusion
Benefits:
• Simplified and consolidated environment with fewer servers in
vCenter Server landscape
• Consistent access for teams and services
• Improved patching and upgrade
• Improved backup and restore
• Fewer outages and less riskVMworld 2017 Content: N
