AS-11 NETWORK TRAFFIC CONTROL USING CUSTOMIZED VMWARE APPLIANCE P.N. Vineeth Kumar vineethkp@vmware.com Software QA Engineer II Dec/03/2007
AIM Creating specialized virtual appliances and providing a single box solution for complex networks. • Managing such appliances using a GUI or through a ready-to-deploy format.
Packaging ideas along with the product • Possibilities : Virtualization at all layers of the OSI reference model. • Finding possibilities of using VMware technology on each of these layers. • Customer scenarios related to each of them. • Chalking out new areas / methods for increasing the productivity / efficiency of an existing virtualized platform. • Providing simple, yet highly efficient solutions based on virtualization, to solve frequent issues faced by customer. • Feasibility of the solution should be within a chalk point. • Nurturing ideas / solutions for future enhancements on existing platforms for customer satisfaction. • Updating customers with new ideas which are tested and certified, on a routine basis, along with patches, if needed. • And many more
Major Network components / devices • Routers • Switches • Firewalls • Load Balancers • Traffic Splitter
Single Box Solution Firewall Load-balancer Splitter / Broker Internal / Server Layer Internet / Client Network ESX / VMWARE Server Physical Interfaces

Proposed Setup Classic ESX Virtual Router VM VM VM VMWAE/ESX Server I/P NICs Fail-over O/P NICS Fail-over VM MASTER VM Physical Switch VM VM
DMZ on DVD • The entire set of VMs and its configuration data can be put on a single DVD. • The deployment of the solution is only a click away. • The VMs will be generalized and only the configuration data varies between setups. • Configurations can be stored centralized location and can be made accessible to the all the setups of a datacenter. • The VM network within an ESX can be represented as an XML, and hence we can save the network setup in a portable format. • Drag and drop GUI can help is managing the VMs on the virtual network. The configurations needs to be altered automatically. • Configuration data can be generated using a wizard and are stored in portable format (say XML). • The entire network along with it’s configuration can be backed up for restoration process ( worst case scenario), on a set of DVD or any other removable media. • Should be made compatible with upcoming projects of virtualizing networking components (like routers and switches).
