Some more vCloud Director 1.5 configuration maximums

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 […]

VMware vCloud Director 101 – Networking – Part 4

This is part 4 of the vCloud Director 101 posts I have recently been writing.  This article covers the vCloud Director Networking concepts and how they fit together. You can read the previous posts by clicking here. To understand some of the terms contained within this post, you need to read the first post that discuses the terms “consumers” and “providers”.  We will be using these terms regularly throughout this article. vCloud Director network layers We will start by discussing the three different networking layers.  These are: External Networks Organization Networks vApp Networks These networks are managed at two different layers: Consumers and Providers. External Networks and Organization Networks are created and managed by the Cloud Admins or Providers, where as vApp Networks are created and managed by the users or consumers of vCloud Director. So what is an External Network? A Network that is external to VMware vCloud Director […]

VMware vCloud Director Building Block (Resource Group) design

VMware vCloud Director Building Block (Resource Group) design

Over the past few days, quite a few articles have been appearing about VMware vCloud Director, including some excellent networking articles from Duncan Epping yellow-bricks.com and a great architecture piece from Frank Dennemanfrankdenneman.nl but I havent seen anything about how to deploy a VMware vCloud Director environment with resilience or high availability, so thought I would write an overview of the basic design. So within the VMware Cloud Team we have taken a building block approach to deploying vCloud Infrastructure. By using this approach a resilient infrastructure can be guaranteed. A building block approach will enable the environments to easily scale horizontally. Building blocks within a vCD environment are referred to as “Resource Groups”. A vCD environment consists of all components needed to run a VMware vCloud excluding the underlying vSphere infrastructure: • VMware vCloud Director (vCD) • VMware vShield Manager • VMware Chargeback • VMware vCenter (supporting the Resource […]
