Are you considering VMware vSAN as the hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) solution for your environment? The key to achieving the best out of vSAN is correct sizing. In this session, we will talk about the entire workflow, from assessing your IT environment to efficiently sizing and getting hardware recommendations. We will demo the VMware HCI Assessment tool, which pulls HCI metrics based on IOPS, capacity, compute and more. Find out how assessment followed by sizing helps to size real-world environments. Learn about the new vSAN Sizer features, such as saving sizing projects, resource utilization customization, and importing assessment data. See how to use the vSAN Quick Sizer mobile app on the fly for scenarios such as reverse-sizing vSAN based on a fixed budget.

Spend less time and money worrying about your organization’s disaster recovery plans. Traditional solutions are unreliable, complex, and expensive. Increasingly, organizations are turning to Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) because of its reliability, ease of use, and cost efficiency by leveraging the elasticity of cloud computing. VMware’s newest DR solutions, based on Datrium, will offer unsurpassed operational consistency for the infrequent and transient nature of disaster scenarios. Come learn about VMware’s latest DRaaS solution for protecting your vSphere environment. Built for IT infrastructure professionals responsible for IT Resiliency, it provides highly reliable, cost effective, easy to use disaster recovery with low recovery times. Get an overview and demo of this new “built for the cloud” solution from VMware.

Although many businesses know they need a disaster recovery plan, especially as more businesses create digitally based products and services, measuring the top- and bottom-line benefits can be a real challenge. For those looking to persuade management to adopt VMware Site Recovery Manager, an ROI model can be a powerful tool in winning over a skeptical audience. We’ll review an ROI model and provide an exhaustive framework so you can build your own.

Hybrid cloud storage infrastructure is rapidly evolving to meet the demands of the most complex workloads. Learn how VMware is advancing the VMware vSphere external storage stack to address these workloads now and in the future. This session will cover storage topics, including vSphere Virtual Volumes, VMFS, NFS, NVMe over Fabrics (NVMeoF), and iSCSI for on-premises and cloud deployments.

Enterprises are rapidly adopting hyperconverged infrastructure powered by VMware vSAN to solve some of their biggest IT infrastructure challenges, such as increasing complexity, rising costs and the accelerating pace of operations.
