Custom Data Center TECHNICAL OVERVIEW Understand capacity across vcenter boundaries Custom Data Centers (CDC) span clusters and vcenter server environments Combine Hosts, Clusters, and Data Center s from one or more vcenter environments Simple wizard driven CDC creation process Full Capacity management / planning for the Custom Data Center Is my West Coast CDC running short on Capacity? Support for all analysis badges VMworld 2017 Looks like a real vsphere data center What is the Health of my Production-East CDC?

Three Approaches to Avoiding Contention DRS Reactive Balance *NEW* Predictive Resolve unexpected resource demand Minimal overhead Only moves VMs that must be moved Moves VMs when contention starts VMworld 2017 DRS & vr Ops Balancing workloads across hosts and clusters Mitigates risk Attempts to prevent hot spots HUGE potential for overhead No guarantees DRS and vr Ops Predict the future demand Minimal overhead Only moves VMs that must be moved Content: Not for publication Moves before contention starts CONFIDENTIAL 33
DRS Keeps VMs Happy & Applications Performant DRS constantly looking at CPU and Memory demand from VMs, and Hosts providing resources DRS considers >25 factors when making placement decisions, such as: Estimated time to complete vmotion Estimated performance after vmotion VM resource demand Host resource capacity Resource reservations Resource limits VM & Host affinity and anti-affinity rules Datastore connectivity vsphere HA settings blogs.vmware.com/vsphere/ 2015/05/drs-keeps-vms-happy.html 34
Intelligent Workload Placement & Rebalance Ensure Performance for VMs & Apps Simplify and automate resolution of chronic resource contention Tight integration of DRS and vrops Workload Utilization Dashboard for easy visualization Rebalance Plan with Action button for automation vrops determines moves across Clusters DRS determines placement within the Cluster Rebalance Container Action Overview Input: Data Center or Custom Data Center (CDC) Output: Rebalance Plan outlining recommended moves Logic: Where will it fit best? Intelligent Workload Placement & Rebalance 35
Workload Placement: Rebalance Containers TECHNICAL OVERVIEW How vrops works with DRS Better together! vrops determines how to best balance Clusters Creates a Rebalance Plan Recommends which clusters VMs should be placed vrops hands VM-Cluster recommendation to DRS Leverages the vcenter DRS API DRS determines best Host in the Cluster to place the VM Requires Fully Automated DRS enabled on ALL clusters in the selected CDC or Datacenter VMworld 2017 vr Ops Cluster B DRS vr Ops Cluster A DRS Better Together Cluster C vr Ops Content: Not for publication DRS 36

What is Predictive DRS vr Ops understands workload behavior Some workloads have predictable resource utilization trends Will any of my hosts struggle to serve my workloads in the next hour? Allows DRS to pro-actively prepare for increased demand before demand occurs VMworld 2017 Potentially faster balancing and better performance from VMs Content: Not for publication resource demand Observed Observed spike: react! Remediation complete time Predicted Proactive remediation complete Predicted spike: prepare 40
