Challenges in Making SDDC Happen
2
• Troubleshooting
• Support calls to multiple
vendors
• Business interruption during
patching and upgrades
Lifecycle Management
and Support
• Understand where to begin
• Organizational structure and
process changes
• Design a reference
architecture
• Procure components from
different vendors
• Time investment before first
VM deployment
Setup
• Make disparate
infrastructure nodes
(compute, storage and
networking) work together
• Lack of automation and
tools for workload
provisioning and deployment
• Many points of control
Provisioning

One Destination, Three Approaches

Software-Defined Data Center
“Build Your Own” Converged InfrastructureHyper-Converged
Infrastructure
• Hardware (e.g. compute, storage, networking) and software components procured separately
• Use reference architectures
• Traditional data center components (e.g. shared storage hardware, servers, switches) integrated and sold in a single chassis, along with software options
• Server hardware pre-integrated with virtualization software for compute, network, storage and management, providing a single point of entry for the entire SDDC lifecycle

• Radically simplified Hyper-Converged Infrastructure Appliance(HCIA)…100% powered by VMware.
• Single SKU procurement model through EVO:RAIL partners
• Prescribed 2U/4N platform via Automated scale out up to 4 HCIAs
– General Purpose Server workloads ~100 VMs per HCIA
– VDI ~250 VMs per HCIA
• Single License Key for the all underlying appliance components
• Single methodology to perform non-disruptive patch & upgrades
• Single support channel through EVO:RAIL partners
• Time to value. Create your first VM in minutes!
