5 Overview

6 VMware Validated Design for ROBO Built on top of VMware Validated Design for Software Defined Datacenter Supplement design by connecting up to 10 small sites Local core SDDC functions per site Two deployment models Centralized Decentralized #PBO1295BU CONFIDENTIAL

7 Regions in VVD ROBO Multiple regions support Disaster Recovery Support Data Privacy Laws Tenant data in region/country Distance between Regions can be large Countries East/West Coast Cities, i.e San Francisco (SFO) and Los Angeles (LAX) #PBO1295BU CONFIDENTIAL

8 About Hubs, Remote and Branch Office Sites Hubs Central point of provisioning/operations Support SDDC platform Can be dedicated to ROBOs Ensure continuous ROBO data availability DR\DA between Regions SLA dashboards Insight to ROBO investment Trending analysis Remote\Branch Offices Small location(s) Limited Datacenter capabilities Provides specific services Minimal IT investment Low SLA and connectivity requirements Can operate independently of Hub(s) Run <= 100 workloads #PBO1295BU CONFIDENTIAL
