Enhance your virtualization skills by mastering storage and network virtualization with automation across different CloudsAbout This BookMigrate and build your applications in Hybrid Cloud with VMware Cross Cloud components and servicesGain in-depth configuration insights of VMware Cross Cloud architectureLearn to migrate applications from VMware to AWS and IBM CloudWho This Book Is ForThis book is for administrators, Cloud architects and network engineers who want to globalize their infrastructure using VMware and AWS services. An initial setup of workloads and data center is beneficial.What You Will LearnInstall and configure the Cloud foundation with Cross-Cloud servicesConfigure vSphere high availability with the vCenter redundancy setupArchitect and configure VMware with AWS CloudDeploy VMware components in IBM Soft LayerExtend your DR setup with VMware to consume DRaaSDesign and configure software-defined networkingImplement compliance regulations to fix violationsIn DetailOver the past two decades, VMware vSphere has been known as the most trusted and reliable 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 with the VMware products packaging and licensing in detail.Style and approachThis book follows a step-by-step, practical approach which will help you to have a better understanding of the cloud technology and the steps required to quickly reap its benefits while at the same time lowering your IT implementation risk and cost.
