Vmware Vcloud Suite Enterprise Keygen
Theodora Glime
First of all VMware vCloud Automation Center (vCAC, pronounced as vCake ? is playing a more prominent role in the suite. vCloud Suite Standard includes vCAC standard, vCloud Suite Advanced includes vCAC Advanced and vCloud Suite Enterprise surprisingly includes vCAC Enterprise.
These three vCAC versions differ in terms of available features where vCAC standard offers basic provisioning and management options, advanced offers governance and extensibility options, vCAC enterprise includes application provisioning, changes and data (f.k.a. Application Director). vCAC will be the primary tool for deploying private clouds whereas vCloud Director will be more a IAAS service provider solution. I will post another article on this soon.
Also new is that vCenter Operations Management Standard is added to vCloud Suite Standard! This is something we were waiting for; especially for customers running vSOM (vSphere with Operations Management) and upgrade to vCloud Suite standard was not really an option because it lacks vCenter Operations Management (vCops) standard. This has changed now, which makes upgrading from vSOM to vCloud Suite Standard a logical step.
VMware vCloud Suite is an enterprise-grade cloud infrastructure and management solution comprising VMware vSphere and vRealize. The suite aims to deliver modern cloud infrastructure automation and operations to run both modern and traditional apps. To break it down, the VMware vCloud Suite offers the following:
The vRealize Automation platform is powered by DevOps principles to deliver modern infrastructure automation. The vRealize Automation platform also receives open-source contributions from the Salt Project community.
VMware Aria Suite is the new name of vRealize Suite. VMware offered the vRealize Suite in two paid editions: Standard and Advanced. However, after 2018, the suite was rebranded to VMware Aria Suite to include hybrid cloud costing capabilities, including on-premises SDDC deployments and VMware Cloud on AWS. The VMware Aria Suite is available in three editions: Standard, Advanced, and Enterprise Edition
As an automated lifecycle management tool, this product helps to automate Day 0 to Day 2 operations of the entire Aria Suite. It offers an intuitive interface to access customer resources while also focusing on business-critical initiatives.
This tool provides scalable log aggregation and indexing for the suite with real-time search and analytics. It collects, imports, and analyzes logs, providing users with real-time answers to service malfunctions and system problems across physical, virtual, and cloud environments.
This tool simplifies complex IT tasks through automation and seamlessly integrates with other VMware Aria Suite products for more extensive features, including working with existing infrastructure, tools, and processes.
vCloud Suite offers robust data center virtualization tools that enable efficient management and operation of virtualized servers, networks, and storage systems. This feature allows enterprises to reduce physical infrastructure costs, enhance scalability, and improve overall data center performance.
With self-driving operations, vCloud Suite harnesses AI and machine learning to automate and optimize IT operations management. This functionality helps in proactive detection and resolution of operational issues, enhancing system performance and reliability without manual intervention.
vCloud Suite includes self-service infrastructure automation capabilities that empower users to provision, configure, and manage computing resources quickly through automated workflows. This feature accelerates deployment, ensures consistent operations, and reduces the potential for human error.
The suite integrates DevOps practices into the management of infrastructure, promoting faster and more flexible development cycles. This includes tools for infrastructure as code (IaC), continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD), and more, supporting seamless collaboration between development and operations teams.
VMFS Recovery provides robust data protection by enabling the recovery of files and data stores from corrupted or failed VMFS volumes. This is crucial in environments where data integrity and availability are paramount, ensuring that virtual machines can quickly return to operational status without significant data loss.
One of the primary benefits of VMFS Recovery is its contribution to high availability. By quickly restoring data and system functionality after incidents like hardware failures, software bugs, or human errors, VMFS Recovery minimizes downtime. This ensures that critical applications running on VMs remain accessible, maintaining business continuity.
The tool simplifies the management of recovery processes with an intuitive interface and automated recovery procedures. It reduces the need for extensive technical expertise, allowing IT teams to handle recovery tasks with more confidence and less external support.
As virtual environments grow, the importance of scalable recovery solutions becomes more evident. VMFS Recovery supports scalability by efficiently handling large volumes of data and numerous VMs. This capability ensures that as enterprises expand their virtual infrastructure, their ability to safeguard and recover data keeps pace.
Investing in VMFS Recovery can be highly cost-effective. By preventing significant data loss and reducing downtime, it helps avoid the high costs associated with these issues. The investment in a recovery solution is often minor compared to the potential losses from extended downtimes or data breaches.
VMFS Recovery is an essential component in the management of VMware environments, offering significant benefits for data safety and operational continuity in virtual machines. Its comprehensive features support a resilient infrastructure by providing reliable and efficient tools to handle data recovery and protection.
In summary, vCloud Suite serves as a comprehensive automation system for both public and private clouds, utilizing vSphere as its foundational infrastructure. Among the numerous components that make up the vCloud Suite, vCloud Director stands out as particularly significant.
vCloud Director functions at a higher level, abstracting vSphere and the underlying hardware it manages. VCD enables the creation of virtual data centers, while vSphere allows for the generation of virtual machines within traditional data centers. Customers no longer need to submit tickets to modify their virtual hardware settings.
This cloud management suite consists of multiple components, such as vRealize Automation, vRealize Operations, vRealize Log Insight, and vRealize Business for Cloud. VMware vRealize Automation, previously known as vCloud Automation Center, is a software product that provides support across multiple vendors and clouds.
Since the announcement of the two new VMware offerings: VMware vSphere Foundation (VVF) and VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) at the end of 2023, I have been trying to wrap my head around the new offers and to better help me understand the next level of details, I have put together several diagrams across the various offers and applicable add-ons that can be purchased.
After sharing these diagrams internally, the feedback was extremely positive and I thought I would also share these diagrams with our users and partners who might still have questions around the new offers. I have also created a short URL which you can access by going to vmwa.re/skus
Lastly, I know many of our users currently consume our VMware Validated Solutions (VVS) and I thought it would also be useful to include a mapping of the available and planned VVS for the VCF offering.
A: No. In addition to them being available as add-ons to the new VCF, VVF, vSphere Standard and vSphere Essentials SKUs, customers can purchase VCDR, VMware Ransomware Recovery, and SRM separately to protect existing vSphere and VCF environments. They can also purchase VCDR and VMware Ransomware Recovery separately for VMware Cloud on AWS and Google Cloud VMware Engine environments. VMware Cloud DR with VMware Ransomware Recovery is the best way to deliver cyber resiliency for vSphere and VCF environments."
I'm being told the same... SRM is ONLY available with VCF and VVF, and
NOT with VMware vSphere Standard (VVS). Pointed them to this blog and they told me this is "Not Official" VMware info, and it is not reflected anywhere on VMware's site.. Sigh...
There'll be a migration path for those who've already onboarded, I don't have the details as some of that is still being worked on from technical standpoint. If vSphere+/VCF+ customer hasn't onboarded, you have a few more options which you can reach out to your account team for further assistance.
Hello William, thank you for the informative article. We have a vsphere enterprise+ cluster and use vDS / LACP LinkAgg as well as DRS/HA/SVMotion with SAN storage connected via NFSv3. We don't need aria, srm and vsan. Which license modell fits our needs?
I am wondering that there is no Add-On for TAS (Tanzu Application Services) and TKGi (Tanzu Kubernetes Grid Integrated)? AFAIK the majority of enterprise customers still preferes these solutions instead of TAP/TKG.
Ist it also possible to use the VCF subscription without actually using VCF? Please correct me if I am wrong, but you just need NSX DFW and some additional Add-Ons you have to choose the VCF subscription?
If you want to get the benefits of SRE Essentials which is included in Select Support for the VCF offer, you will need to deploy the full VCF stack including SDDC Manager. While nothing stops you from deploying a subset, it wouldn't be considered "VCF" and hence you wouldn't qualify for SRE Essential services (which is included in offer) is my understanding
To get the full benefits of the new VCF offer including SRE support services, you'll need to deploy the full VCF stack (as prescribed). While nothing stops you from deploying a subset, it wouldn't be considered "VCF" and hence you wouldn't qualify for SRE Essential services (which is included in offer) is my understanding. I don't know the specifics about Aria Universal ... so best you reach out to your account team to dive deeper into your specific entitlements, as there maybe some transition programs/etc. that is unique to each customer based on their purchases.
