vCloud Director training – Backup Academy

By admin on June 4, 2013 in Education and Training

Yesterday a vCloud Director training video I produced for Veeam’s Backup Academy was released. It covers VMware vCloud Director and how it fits together. This training presentation is based upon my vCloud Director 101 series of articles (found here). Veeam have a number of useful training presentations and videos on the Backup Academy site, and I highly recommend visiting to find further education material. If you haven’t heard of Backup Academy before, this is how Rick Vanover explains it: Backup Academy’s goal is to help you become a virtual machine backup expert, so you can better meet the challenges of this changing environment. Backup Academy’s educational content is brought to you by renowned virtualization industry experts. I hope you enjoy this presentation and find it useful. http://www.backupacademy.com/vmware-vcloud-director-how-it-works.html?ad=hp Lastly I would like to thank Rick Vanover from Veeam for giving me the opportunity to produce this presentation. Thanks Rick.

This article is part 2 of my vCloud vApp design considerations and use cases definition. Part 1 can be read by clicking here. In this article we will look at the logical design of vApp use cases. I have spoke about these in the past in my vCloud Director Networking 101 post, but never really spoke about the specific use case. Use Case 1 – vApp Network Isolated This use case would primarily be used for development and test scenarios, where there is a requirement for vApps to be completely isolated. In this scenario multiple vApps of the same configuration can be deployed without risk of conflict, since there is no external connectivity available and all network traffic within the vApp is isolated at Layer 2. The characteristics of these vApps are: VMs are connected together on isolated vApp networks No connectivity between multiple vApps or to organization networks Same configuration can […]

This is a re-post from the official VMware vCloud blog: http://blogs.vmware.com/vcloud/2012/05/some-more-vcloud-director-configuration-maximums.html A question was asked yesterday regarding some of the configuration maximums that are currently not listed in the vSphere 5 configuration maximums document. Having discussed with vCloud Engineering and Product Management it has been confirmed that these numbers are used to provide the supported scale of vCloud Director and can be published to the wider community. The information listed will assist consultants and architects to better understand the supported scale when designing there public and private vCloud infrastructures. # of Console sessions (concurrent) 300 # of Console sessions (active) 100 # of Cells 10 # of Logical Networks 10156 # of vApp Networks 2987 # of External Networks 524 # of Isolated Org Networks 2264 # of Public Org Networks 2005 # of Routed Org Networks 2376 # of Network Pools 10 # of Catalogs 1024 # of Media 1024 […]
