you to create logical and elastic trust zones that are protected from network-
based threats.
• VXLAN is the enabling technology for network virtualization, providing network
abstraction, elasticity, and scale across the datacenter. VXLAN provides an
architecture for scaling your applications across clusters and pods without any
physical network reconfiguration.
• Data Security scans virtual workloads for sensitive data such as credit card
information and reports violations of regulations (such as PCI-DSS), enabling
IT organizations to quickly assess the state of compliance with regulations from
around the world.
• Management and Reporting capabilities are enabled through seamless integration
with VMware vCenter Server and VMware vCloud Director.
VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager:
Ensure simple and reliable disaster protection for all virtualized applications,
leveraging cost-efficient vSphere Replication or storage-based replication to:
• Replace traditional, error-prone manual runbooks with simple, automated
recovery plans
• Enable frequent nondisruptive testing of recovery plans to ensure that they meet
business requirements
• Automate site recovery and migration processes to ensure fast, reliable recovery
• Streamline planned migrations and preventive failovers
Management:
VMware vCenter Operations Management Suite:
Ensure service levels, optimum resource usage, and configuration compliance in
dynamic virtual and cloud environments through integrated performance, capacity,
and configuration management.
• Operations management dashboard and proactive alerts: Obtain comprehensive
visibility into the health, risk, and efficiency of your cloud infrastructure.
• Automated root cause analysis of performance problems.
• Correlation of performance and change events: Quickly understand and
remediate performance issues arising from configuration changes.
• Capacity planning, reporting, and optimization: Identify areas of reclaimable
waste and chronic capacity shortfalls and optimize VM density.
• Continuous compliance: Detect, remediate, and enforce configuration standards
to maintain a compliant infrastructure.
• Discovery and visualization of application and infrastructure dependencies.
• Integrated cost metering and reporting: Create visibility into resource utilization
and the financial value of consumed resources.
VMware vFabric Application Director:
Automate the configuration and deployment of multi-tier applications across private
and public cloud infrastructures.
• Application blueprints: Blueprints offer an intuitive drag and-drop canvas for
quickly creating visual blueprints of application deployment topologies.
• Standardized OS and middleware templates: A customizable catalog,
prepopulated with standard application components and scripts, allows easy
reuse when constructing new application topologies.
• Flexible cloud deployments: Blueprints can be reused on multiple virtual and
private/public cloud infrastructures.
• Deployment profiles: Profiles govern settings such as cloud templates, networks,
and application configuration values allowed for use in specific deployment
environments.
