Book Description

Over the past two decades, VMware vSphere has been known as the most trusted and reliable virtualization platform. VMware Cross-Cloud Architecture shows you how to design and configure Cross Cloud Architecture by using VMware Cloud Foundation and vRealize Suite with various use cases across private, public, and hybrid Cloud. This book takes you through everything from a basic understanding of virtualization to advanced aspects of storage and network virtualization, clustering, automation, and management.

This book will be your guide to designing all aspects of Cloud.

We start with the challenges faced by a traditional data center, define problem statements for you, and then brief you on respective solutions. Moving on, all kinds of virtualization and Cloud offerings from AWS and IBM Soft Layer are introduced and discussed in detail. Then, you’ll learn how to design IT infrastructures for new and existing applications with a combination of Cloud Foundation, vRealize Suite, and vSphere enabled with VSAN and NSX. Furthermore, you’ll learn how to design and configure high availability, disaster recovery, and apply an appropriate compliance matrix.

Toward the end of the book, you will learn how to calculate the TCO/ROI, along with the VMware products packaging and licensing in detail.

What you will learn

• Install and configure the Cloud foundation with Cross-Cloud services
• Configure vSphere high availability with the vCenter redundancy setup
• Architect and configure VMware with AWS Cloud
• Deploy VMware components in IBM Soft Layer
• Extend your DR setup with VMware to consume DRaaS
• Design and configure software-defined networking
• Implement compliance regulations to fix violations

Who This Book Is For
