Do you want to enable all the functionality of your external storage with VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF)? Virtual Volumes (vVols) the solution! VCF enables enterprises to manage their private and public clouds at scale. vVols enables VCF to easily scale by managing storage capabilities via policy instead of Storage vMotion, eliminating the need to individually manage LUNs or volumes in your WLD. When you think of the conceivable scale VCF allows, managing LUNs and volumes can be daunting—not so with vVols. With VCF, you can also enable large-scale functionality, such as Kubernetes cloud native storage. You will learn the benefits of vVols and how it integrates with VCF as a principle or supplemental storage.

In this session, we will dive deep into how you can deploy VMware Cloud Foundation in a multiple Availability Zone (AZ) deployment model based on VMware vSAN stretched clusters. Members of the VMware Cloud Foundation architect team will describe the what, why and how of the VMware Cloud Foundation multi-AZ design.

You will learn about the compute considerations, how storage availability is configured, the networking traffic setup, and the data center requirements to support a multi-AZ deployment. You will also find out the process to deploy and extend workload domains to a second AZ.

Join this interactive discussion to learn how you can deploy VMware Cloud Foundation with stretched clusters in your data center.

Join this technical deep dive into VMware Cloud Foundation—a standardized, private cloud infrastructure platform, designed to run traditional and container-based applications, that enables customers to succeed in their data center modernization and hybrid cloud journey. You will see product demonstrations of the latest features and capabilities of this solution.

Learn about VMware Cloud Foundation networking from its architects. We will detail the networking aspects of VMware Cloud Foundation, including single-site and multisite deployments. Information will focus on your physical networking requirements, how VMware Cloud Foundation integrates with your data center, and what capabilities it provides. We will also describe the VMware NSX-T network architecture and how it enables various deployment topologies. Learn not just the what, but the why behind our design choices.
