VMware Cross-Cloud Architecture. Automate and orchestrate your Software-Defined Data Center on AWS

Ajit Pratap Kundan

Over the past two decades, VMware vSphere has been known as the most trusted andreliable 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 withthe VMware products packaging and licensing in detail.
