Hypervisors: The work horses in a modern data centerSYMANTEC VISION 20145
Hypervisors A piece of software that enables multiple virtual machines to berun on same hardware resources Two types of hypervisors– Bare Metal Hypervisors (VMware ESXi)– Hosted Hypervisors (VMware Workstation) Trivia– What type is Hyper-V? Oracle VM for SPARC? KVM?– Do you need to backup hypervisors? Why, Why not? How?SYMANTEC VISION 20146
Hypervisor Managers: They sort of work like our managers!SYMANTEC VISION 20147
Hypervisor Managers The software to manage multiple instances of hypervisors andvirtual machines– VMware vCenter Server– Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager Usually provided with a database backend Trivia– Do you need to backup Hypervisor Managers? Why, Why not, How?SYMANTEC VISION 20148

Storage Snapshots: Snapshot of snapshotsSYMANTEC VISION 201413
Storage Snapshots A way to create recovery points quickly on primary storage itself– Crash consistent or application consistent?– May be replicated to another primary storage target– May be copied to secondary storage NetBackup Replication Director for VMware Trivia– How do you prepare for DR readiness with storage snapshots?SYMANTEC VISION 201414
Cloud: It is more than taking hypervisors to the skySYMANTEC VISION 201415
Cloud The promise of zero CapEx for end users CapEx reduction through resource pooling for providers OpEx reduction through automation and self-service Three kinds– Public cloud– Private cloud– Hybrid cloud Trivia– Can you have private cloud in the sky? Why or why not?SYMANTEC VISION 201416
Software-Defined Data Centers: Your private cloud on premiseSYMANTEC VISION 201417
Software-Defined Data Centers A data center where compute, storage and networking isvirtualized, pooled and allocated to applications using asoftware based orchestration layer A good example for a private cloud Journey to SDDC has three phases– Abstract and Pool– Automate– Empower Trivia– How do you virtualize networking?SYMANTEC VISION 201418
