vCenter Application Discovery Manager (ADM)

1. vCenter Application Discovery Manager (ADM) Product Overview

2. The Rise of a New Era in IT Cloud Web PC / Client-Server Mainframe Cloud will transform the delivery of IT services and how they are managed

3. Cloud Computing Characteristics: Management Implications Cloud Computing is an approach to computing that leverages the efficient pooling of on-demand, self-managed virtual infrastructure, consumed as a service. Efficiency thru Utilization and Automation Agility with Control Freedom of Choice Pooling From machines to on-demand, highly elastic resource pools Zero-touch InfrastructurePolicy-driven automation of provisioning, deployment and management Self-ServiceEasy access with policy-based provisioning and deployment ControlApplication-aware infrastructure, built-in availability, scale, security, performance guarantees Open & InteroperableApplication mobility between clouds, based on open standards Leverage Existing InvestmentsBenefits of cloud computing to existing applications and datacenters How do I Achieve Zero-Touch? To Efficiently Automate to Maximize Performance, Capacity, Scale How to I Enable Self-Service with Control?To Dynamically Assure Easy Access with Compliance & Security How do I Get to the Hybrid Cloud?To Enable Management Across Providers, Domains, and Clouds

4. Traditional Management Traditional Management Model is Too Complex Resulting Challenges Silos Component management on a per-silo basis Meeting SLA’s Focused on devices, not services Static Applications bound to infrastructure Poor App Performance Brittle, slow applications Bolt-On Management is sold after-market as an afterthought Complexity Too many reactive and fragmented point tools Manual Change is carefully planned, risky, slow Scaling without Adding Staff Spiraling rate of change, not enough people

9. vCenter Application Discovery Manager Overview

10. Remember to plan to protect all three of these! Passively Discover Application Dependencies with vCenter ADM ESX to VC Dependencies Virtualized On Relationship ESX server Virtual to Virtual Dependencies VMs Physical to Virtual Dependencies Discover instances of DBs, Application servers, etc Discover hidden dependencies, prepare for moves, build DR protection groups

11. WAN DATA CENTER ADM Passively Discover Application Dependencies with vCenter ADM • Hybrid discovery model • Passive, active, agent-less, analytic • No agents required • Passive network traffic capture • Statistical sampling • Uses virtual & core switch mirror ports • Extracts details for packet structure • Active discovery adds high definition configuration details • WMI, SSH, Telnet, SNMP and VI-SDK

12. VMware Data Center Blueprinting Services • For customers engaging in • Data center consolidation • Migration • Disaster recovery projects • Delivers critical information for • Determining server move groups • Analyzing the impact of relocating or consolidating critical business applications. • Actionable reports detail • Actual business applications • Underlying application infrastructure • Business applications interdependencies supporting your business

13. Business Application MappingInter- and Intra- Dependency Maps • Provides a detailed and accurate infrastructure layout of a given business application • Virtual and Physical servers • Services • Interdependencies • This is first step to understanding the business application is to map out its internal dependencies • Required for any major data center project (i.e. DR, Migration, Consolidation) DB Layer Application Layers

14. Business Application MappingDiscover Connections and Relationships • Shows the dependencies between business applications • Understand know how a change (or failure) of one business application might impact a separate business application • Dependencies between business applications will affect the order in which they are brought up at a remote data center after a disaster

15. vCenter Application Discovery Manager (ADM) Summary • Get and keep a fast and accurate data center view – across virtual and physical • Precise visibility into all application interactions via network-based approach • Eye-opening discovery of unknown, unwanted, & unexpected application behaviors and dependencies • Application-aware data center moves & consolidations, migrations, and DR plans
