5 Key Takeaways Stringent requirements of BCA workloads Challenges associated with meeting the above requirements How the VMware Software-Defined Data Center (SDDC) helps BCA workloads High performance Resiliency and High Availability Security Automation Performance and Capacity Management Cost Transparency Hybrid Cloud 5

6 Characteristics of Business Critical Application (BCA) Workloads 6

7 BCA Requirements Availability Performance Recoverability Scalability Security Must be highly available Must be resilient and redundant MTBF must be very high Timely process completion is critical Must avoid bottleneck RPO, RTO, MTD, WRT must all be very low Recovery plans must be verifiable and repeatable Should be adaptive and grow with little reconfiguration effort Security from Internal & External attacks and be complaint with industry standard security practices 7
