Leverage multiple Cloud Storage Tiers

By admin on July 23, 2014 in vCloud Air

Over the past few months I have been working on a number of projects within the vCloud Hybrid Service. One of these projects has been working with Storage Tiers in the cloud. Recently vCloud Hybrid Service launched new tier of storage Standard Storage. Offering multiple storage tiers is a critical part of delivering cloud services to consumers who needed different levels of service. Multiple Cloud Storage Tiers I wanted to link to a couple of articles over on the VMware vCloud blog that I think are important to read and understand when considering how to architect your cloud workloads. VMware vCloud Hybrid Service Standard Storage Tier Mix and Match Storage Tiers The two articles above really demonstrate the power of how you can architect your workloads to leverage different cost models, based on your requirements for performance vs cost, and how simple it is to implement these deployments into Infrastructure […]

vCloud Hybrid Service launches two new offerings

By admin on May 6, 2014 in Cloud Computing, vCloud Air

Yesterday vCloud Hybrid Service launched two new offerings and released them into the public cloud. This is of personal interest to me as I was the Tech Marketing lead for these two new releases. For me, being part of the team that is launching these offerings, and the rapid speed of delivery and growth within VMware’s vCloud Hybrid Service gives me great pleasure, and pride. Anyway, lets get on with the technical stuff. Standard Storage Tier First up is storage tiering. vCHS now offers two types of storage tier. SSD Accelerated and Standard. SSD-Accelerated is exactly that, an SSD-Accelerated tier, that uses SSD Caching to increase the performance. Standard storage is slightly different, it is just plain old spindle based storage without any SSD Acceleration, resulting in a lower performance. As The Register puts it “Plain old spinning rust”. For me, its an important part of cloud, offering multiple types of […]
