3 vSphere and the Software-Defined Data Center Flashcards
What is Server virtualization solution?
vSphere
- vSphere abstracts the physical resources of a host computer and makes them available to multiple guest virtual machines.
What is Network virtualization solution?
NSX Data Center
- NSX Data Center delivers networking and security in one software application, abstracted from the underlying physical infrastructure.
What is Storage virtualization solution?
vSAN
- vSAN provides storage virtualization at the host level and logically abstracts the physical storage layer for VMs.
What is Desktop virtualization solution?
VMware Horizon.
- VMware Horizon simplifies the management and delivery of virtual desktops and apps through a single cloud platform to end users.
which statements best describe the role of vSphere in the SDDC?
- Controls access to the underlying physical infrastructure.
- Pools, controls, and allocates resources that are consumed through the cloud management layer.
vSphere and Cloud Computing
Cloud services can be managed and delivered in different ways:
- Private cloud: You host and manage the underlying infrastructure of your SDDC on-premises.
- Public cloud: A third party owns and manages the underlying infrastructure of your SDDC.
- Hybrid cloud: Some resources are hosted on-premises and some in the public cloud.
vSphere and VMware Cloud Foundation
VMware Cloud Foundation integrates vSphere, NSX Data Center, and vSAN to provide a unified SDDC platform for the private and public cloud:
- vSphere, the foundation technology, virtualizes the compute resources of the data center.
- NSX Data Center manages the virtualization of networking.
- vSAN manages the virtualization of storage resources.
