  5. “WINNING” vmware solutions from the field

  6. Supporting the Mission: Overview • SRM as a Troop Deployment Tool • 4 Step failover, custom reverse, failback

  7. Supporting the Mission: Considerations • Network connectivity • Satellite links • Initial sync • Then ship • Order of boot-up • Storage • AD • Database • And the rest

  8. Datacenter Consolidation: Overview • DOD Project (BRAC) • 64 Datacenters  3 • Linux, Windows, Solaris x86 • Scripted Installs • Closets, datacenters,SCIFs

  9. Datacenter Consolidation: Considerations • Different network classifications • NIPR, SIPR, JWICS, etc. • Metric collection • CPU, Memory, Mbps, • IOPS • Method of migration • P2V? Fresh install?

  10. Disaster Recovery: Overview • Large Federal Financial Institution • Site Recovery Manager • Sterling, VA to Denver, CO • Hardware: • HP C-Class blades • EMC Storage • RecoverPoint

  11. Disaster Recovery: Considerations • Latency & bandwidth between sites • Asynchronous or synchronous? • Flat network? • Re-IP or no Re-IP? • Failover and failback? • Licensing considerations • Operational decisions • Who hit the panic button?

  12. COOP: Overview • Large Financial Institution • ZERO downtime • Site A & Site B = 30 miles apart • ~200 blade servers • ~2,500 VMs

  13. COOP: Considerations • Networking • Flat • Geographically disperse ISP connections • Load balancers • Backups • Avoid pipe-hopping • VM in A, Storage in B,VTL in A • Storage platform?

  14. Tactical: Overview • 2-man lift rack solutions • NetApp • Dell • vSphere • Quickly deployable • Active Directory • Exchange • Sharepoint

  15. Tactical: Considerations • Ruggedized equipment? • Spare depot • Network hurdles • E.g. Satlinks • Automated & easybuild-outs • Storage footprint in U

  16. “Add some gold.”Emerging vmware-based solutions

  17. Emerging VMware-Based Solutions • Immediate: SRM & Geoclusters • Near: VMware View, ThinApp(80%) • Forward: The Cloud • vCloud Director • vCloud API • Identity Management

  18. “it’s a three-letter word. It rhymes with, ‘why.’”VDI

  19. Emerging VMware-Based Solutions • VDI = running desktop OS’s as virtual machines • Sometimes coupled with appvirt solution • Sometimes coupled with zero/thin client solution • AppVirt = running packaged applications • Contains all DLL’s, files, registry strings, etc

  20. VMware ThinApp Links the Application, Virtual Operating System (VOS), File System and Registry into a Single EXEMSI File WindowsOperating System • Application Encapsulation& Isolation • Intercepts file and system calls • Process Loading- start exe from VOS, Launch from host OS (Virtual/Physical).   • DLL Loading. Loads EXE/DLL/OCX dependencies. • Thread & Process Management. VOS tracks all processes and threads inside virtual registry (Sandbox of Runtime Modifications). ThinApp SecureCompressed Container (EXE) Application PhysicalRegistry VirtualRegistry Registry Access PhysicalFile System VirtualFile System File Access Virtual OS Sandbox

  21. Steps for packaging an application with ThinApp: • The Setup Capture utility creates a baseline snapshot before the application is installed (pre-scan) • The application is traditionally installed • The Build phase of Setup Capture creates the virtualized applicationpackage (post-scan) • Set package “entry points” and package options • Finish by browsing and building the project

  22. VMware View: Architecture Centralized Virtual Desktops VIEW CONNECTIONMANAGER ZeroClient ThinClient ThickClient

  23. Full VMs versus Linked Clones TRADITIONAL VDI VMWARE VIEW COMPOSER Linked Clones Parent Image VMWARE THINAPP VMWARE VIEW COMPOSER

  24. Endpoint Flexibility Thick Client Thin Client Zero Client Mobile Devices • iPad/iPhone • Android* • Windows, Mac OS or Repurposed PCs • Broad Support

  25. Traditional VDI Profile Mgmt App Mgmt Storage Footprint Client Mgmt Image/OS Mgmt

  26. Unidesk + VMware View Storage Footprint reduction Storage Tiering TCP based Replication Application Management Any application Versioning Rollback User/Machine Personalization Local profile utilized ALL settings retained Data and Apps stored separately User installed apps supported OS / Image Management Single Image Management Image Sharing Version Control & Rollback

  27. “Ignite your warrior.”Self promotion

  28. SELF PROMOTION • Twitter, Twitter, Twitter • #VMware, #VDI • Blog, but only if active • VMware vExpert • VMUG

  29. SELF PROMOTION • Build a VMware-based solution • Then blog & tweet about it • Clearances • Secret, Top Secret, TS SCI, Q, DHS, OPM etc. • Passport • In theater?

  30. VCDX Tips • Doesn’t have to be real-life • Make-believe may be better • Intimately know your design • Think out loud • Have fun

  31. Questions? • Useful Links: • How to Configure CAC with VMware View • http://tinyurl.com/2bc2pds • VMware View Follow-Me Desktop with CAC • http://tinyurl.com/2c36cks • Supercharge Win7 vDesktops to 4 vCPU • http://tinyurl.com/2fk5t5n JLangone@ThinkVIRT.com @langonej +1 401 954 3363 www.ThinkVIRT.com www.MicroTech.net
