**vmware vision

- efficiency - cut capital and operational costs by over 50% for all application
s
- data - while automating quality of service
- os - and remaining independent of hardware, os, application stacks, and servic
e providers
**vsphere 5.5 architecture
virtualization layer
- infrastructure services
- compute- virtual smp, memory management
- storage-vmfs, psa, vsphere flash
- network- standard and distributed switches
- application services
- availability- vmotion, storage vmotion, HA & FT, data protection
- security- vshield endpoint, vsphere firewall
- scalability- drs/storage drs, storage i/o control, network i/o control
management layer
- vcenter server
interface layer
- clients (vsphere client, web client,sdk, windows terminal services, xterm)
**vsphere with operations manager overview
how is vcenter operations manager different?
- patented, self learning analytics
- automated capacity planning and analysis
- designed for vmware vsphere
- built for cloud
storage networks- nfs san, iscsi san, fc san
vsphere distributed services
-vmotion- enables the migration of live virtual machines from one physical serve
r to another without service interruption. this live migration capability allows
virtual machines to move from a heavily loaded server to a lightly loaded one
-storage vmotion- live migration of a virtual machines storage to a new datastor
e with no downtime. extending the vmotion helps administrator to leverage storag
e tiering, perform tuning and balancing and control capacity with no application
downtime
-HA- in the event of server failure the affected virtual machines are restarted
on other production servers which have spare capacity
-App HA- in the case of operating system failure, vsphere HA restarts the affect
ed virtual machine on the same physical server
-FT- enables fully fault-tolerant VM pairs without requiring virtualization of t
he clustering solution. the solution can provide complete protection from host-l
evel failures while still enabling the benefits of virtualization
-DRS- helps you manage a cluster of physical hosts as a single compute resource
by balancing cpu and memory workload across the physical hosts
-storage drs- allow you to implement storage tuning and load balancing without i
ncurring application downtime
-DPM- enables active power state control, reducing energy consumption and carpon
footprint
-replication- replicates powered vm from vcenter to another
-storage i/o control (SIOC) - allocates available io resources to vm depending o
n rules
network architecture
-standard switch- emulates physical switches
-distributed switch- vm networking
-network i/o control- this solution allows vsphere to control indenpent network
flows within a single nic which allows vsphere to provide shared uplink capacity
to services such as ip storage, vmotion and production vm traffic without riski
ng performance issues due to contention
storage architecture
-virtual disks
-vsphere datastores
-physical storage
vmfs- default storage for vm (LUN)
vmdk- files over the vmfs
storage i/o control (SIOC) - allocates available io resources to vm depending on
rules
vsphere hypervisor 5.5 architecture
-vmkernel
-virtual machine monitor
-virtual machine hardware
-device drivers
-vmware tools
-memory management
vcenter operations manager 5.7: vapp architecture
-analytics VM
-UI VM
-requirements needs environment size, landscape and complexity
