 partners and we thank our partners for coming not only themselves but for the thousands of customers they bring to VMworld each and every year. This year we have 20 people who have been to all 12 VMworlds since we started and they're sitting right down here in the audience well actually we have 21 because I too have been to all 12 and I remember thank you I mean thank you and I remember that first event in San Diego when we had all of 1200 people there and we thought we were on top of the world and if we really thought leaders I'd say we were in the clouds and at that event we laid out a vision a vision to transform the data center forever and virtualize a hundred percent of the workloads and I will tell you together there is no doubt collectively we have transformed the data center forever and we've changed the lives of thousands tens of thousands of IT professionals at VMware we're not just out to transform and change the lives of IT professionals we also seek to change the lives of many others along the way and we do this through what we call the VMware Foundation and it's built on a philosophy of citizens philanthropy where individuals are empowered to choose how and where they give back to the communities in which they work live and play and we're asking you to join our community this week to give back so let me tell you how you can do that as many of you came down the escalators this morning you saw this area we call it destination give back and we're asking you to choose one of four causes that best represents and has meaning to you those four causes are children education health in the environment and all you need to do is take a photo of yourself or take a photo of a cause that means the most to you posted to together 2015 let's start and talk about this year's theme ready for any and let me ask a simple question are you ready for any well whether you're been with VMware for a long time or you're new to us we've all been on a journey and as we've gone on this journey VMware has started to really understand the world in which you're living and the challenges you are facing since last vm world we have met with thousands of customers all around the world and no matter who we meet no matter where they are no matter where we go we see in here very similar challenges all of you are always asked to go faster you're not going fast enough you're asked to continue to be more innovative and actually stay ahead of the curve you're asked to drive employee in human capital productivity and make sure that you do it not only in IT but across the companies and we all know you're not get in an increase in headcount you're asked to be more agile and try to be more responsive to the line of business and the developers security even when you think you have everything secure enough they come and say make it more secure in cost we know that you're asked each and every day to reduce your cost not only reduce your cost but you're actually now being asked to help drive top-line revenue growth and the demands we see on you are increasing and they're increasing each and every day but the opportunities are also groundbreaking so what if what if we could more easily address these challenges and focus on those big groundbreaking opportunities what if at VMworld 2015 we could enable you to run build deliver and secure any application anytime any place our goal at VMworld this year is to make sure you're ready for any ready for any challenge or business opportunity that lies ahead to enable you here at VMworld to do four things the first run to be able to run a true hybrid cloud platform and take advantage of the full power of the software-defined data center to run any application build but it's not just build it's about build and embrace traditional applications containers and cloud native technologies to transform your business deliver deliver any application on any device with our industry leading end user computing solutions and last but clearly not least secure we need to be ready to accelerate both networking and security from the data center all the way to the device now we at VM where have a long-standing commitment of providing all of you with freedom flexibility and choice in fact it's woven deep into the DNA of our company and it's woven into everything we do we build and deliver to you in our ecosystem all you need to do to see evidence of this is go to the solutions exchange where you'll see hundreds of companies that are now part of our ecosystem in fact one could say VMware doesn't just have an ecosystem or hasn't built an ecosystem that we actually created an entire economy think about VMware being a platform company a platform company in the data center that needs to give you freedom and flexibility in choice to go southbound and northbound southbound to interface and run on any hardware platform you desire and go northbound to support any operating system or application think about any device you all need to give your employees choice of device they want to use to get access to applications whether it's a desktop a virtual desktop it's a smartphone or a tablet we also understand that many of you want to leverage the richness of the API's on top of technologies like OpenStack which is exactly why at VMworld last year we introduced the VMware integrated OpenStack solution that runs right on top of your existing infrastructures and now containers and you'll hear today that VMware has a two pronged approach to supporting containers first on your existing infrastructure infrastructure and second how you can build an entirely new infrastructure stack to support containers and cloud native applications and you'll hear more about that this morning now in the end we want to look at you and say you choose the technology you choose the architecture you choose the platform you choose the app you choose the device and we are here to work and engage with you and we believe at VMware the best way to deliver freedom flexibility in choice is to a one cloud any application any device architecture now let's quickly take a look at each of these starting with one cloud when we talk about one cloud we don't literally mean you have one homogeneous cloud what we mean is we want to partner with you to give you a seamless integration between your private cloud your public cloud or public clouds or if you're running a managed service cloud in the end we believe that the seamless integration that we can bring to you will create what we call a unified hybrid cloud and the unified hybrid cloud brings tremendous value and benefit to both IT as well as your customers let's look at it through your eyes as IT you can now operate as if you're managing one logical cloud and use a single cloud management platform to automate the delivery of all of your applications both on-premise and off-premise for your users users being your line of business or the developers the distinction between on-premise IT and off-premise IT is now eliminated so what this gives us the ability to do is to build run or develop any application whether on-premise or off-premise and seamlessly federate those workloads back and forth and by doing that it gives us the ability to showcase and leverage powerful infrastructure technology like NSX providing a common security layer on-premise in all-premise in the end we do not believe there is anyone in the industry that can deliver as powerful of a unified hybrid cloud platform as VM where now in IT we often say it's not just about the infrastructure in fact we often say it's all about the app everything starts and stops with the application which is why we need to continue to support traditional applications in fact it's what runs all of our businesses today but we also know at the same time application development and delivery models are changing and evolving and doing it faster than ever which is why we need to support new technologies both today and tomorrow like cloud native applications and VM where is here today to enable you to run a unified platform supporting traditional applications cloud native applications containers and open source technologies now we all know that an app is meaningless without a device to get access to it anytime anywhere today we know our users have higher expectations than ever they want to move from device to device and as they move from device to device they want to be able to get access to their content and applications in the exact same way while we at IT need to make sure everything is secure all the way from the data center to the application VM where is business mobility solutions enable the consumption of both applications and content on any device all while allowing you to continue to manage it effectively and securely when we bring this all together we start to see the formation of what we believe is the architecture for IT and we're sharing that vision with you here at VMworld 2015 and it starts with that notion of one cloud a unified hybrid cloud platform that spans on-premise and off-premise and manage clouds and we believe the only way to effectively and scalably run a hybrid cloud is through a software defined data center architecture this software defined data center architecture can be built on and run one of three ways first you can decide to build it on your own or you can leverage converged infrastructure like VCEs V block or VX block architectures where you can run it on top of a hyperconverged infrastructure and you can manage all of the software defined data center assets and hardware simultaneously with something right you will speak about next called Evo SDDC manager that infrastructure need to be scalable reliable and secure to support both traditional applications and cloud native applications and those applications are only as good as the users who get access to them leveraging any device in a very very secure way so let me give you a few examples of how VMware is partnering with our different customers to take advantage of this one cloud any application any device architecture starting with an automobile man manufacturer can actually monitor and tune their customers cars remotely in real time or the deep partnerships we're forming with service providers and telco companies who can now bring new technologies like voice over LT in 4G and other new services to market extremely fast leveraging VMware's powerful network function virtualization solutions or an education system where we're securely allowing teachers students and parents all to get access to curriculum and content in a very secure way and we're allowing that to expand outside of their local districts and local school systems and engage on a global basis in a very seamless way securely to share about a share projects that they can build upon throughout the world we are helping kids save shape the future today one of my favorite a pharmaceutical company 120 years old of course they have a big legacy data center but they couldn't move fast enough to the new world so they decided to build a software defined data center and stuff and stand up an entire new stack and the very first application they put on it was nothing other than SAP a mission critical application and after that they're now migrating over 450 applications a month in less than one year this pharmaceutical company completely transformed how they run build and deliver and secure their applications in and their infrastructure now to bring this to life this morning I'm gonna introduce a customer and partner on stage this individual literally had to survive the biggest fight of his professional career and is leading not only IT transformation across his company but in cross and entire industry and I'd like to before I introduce this gentleman to stage run a short video to introduce direct TV it used to be so simple you sat down and watched whatever was on TV but today's viewers demand a lot more from their TV entertainment providers direct TV is the nation's number one satellite TV content provider ranked number one in customer satisfaction for 15 years in a row and in a complicated world of content delivery making their unprecedented standard of service and reliability seem well simple but of course it isn't please join me in welcoming to stage executive vice president and CIO of direct TV Mike Benson Mike thank you for joining a few of your friends here just a few just a few and all of them are direct TV customers great I like that idea so Mike so what are some of the business challenges and opportunities and customer demands you're facing today and how are you trying to solve them so in a paid TV environment we're very mature marketplace challenges with competitors competitors going after market share it's very challenging for us and then you have new entries coming into the marketplace like Netflix and Hulu they're over the top capabilities that adds additional pressure to the marketplace and then we have this other phenomenon that happens about three to five times a year where demand of our IT services just burst and those events that take place are very challenging not only to our IT organization but to the whole organization as a whole and now we have the acquisition or the merger with AT&T and that adds additional pressure on the fact that we now are selling more and more of our capabilities in all the retail stores out there with an AT&T we're also having to deal with every every device mobile apps whether that's a tablet or a phone and providing streaming content out there that's great so Mike I just had the opportunity to share with our audience VMware's vision for one cloud any app any device how does this map to the vision and priorities and strategy you're laying out within and direct TV well Carl's pretty consistent with our long-term strategy as well and demands that we've talked about just a minute ago and we've been partnering with VMware now since 2008 which has been really fabulous for us thank you and and you know we've been using a hybrid cloud philosophy and approach at least for the five or six years that we've been on this journey some of that cloud capability is on-prem some of that cloud is out on the and out not in our environment but out in the public and then we do some some other capabilities of a hybrid type of capability and that's done real well for us and we're just what we're trying to do is just put more and more of our customers content and capabilities closer to our customers out there on the perimeter as we go and so this whole unified cloud is our strategy that's great so Mike just a minute ago you talked about this sudden burst in capacity that happens three to five times a year and I must admit I was one of those people who spent $99 on the fight of the century between Mayweather and Pacquiao and my experience was flawless how were you able to manage and deliver such a great experience for your clients so I'll say one thing it was you know we were very successful but I don't think mostly would think that the fight was that great of a fight but anyways an early but it was worth donating to yes direct team we like that like that real well but in early April you know I challenged my team to go look at preparing volumes double the volumes that we thought they were going to be and you did this in April early April right May yes may second one second one month and so they went and took that information with huge pressures on us trying to deliver they put together a strategy and came back and said they could do it now we had a lot of people that night and during that day monitoring this and making sure we could pull this off and we were very successful in doing that but what we did we leveraged the VMware virtualization technologies and NSX to help us do that and primarily was the whole idea of the network side of this which was more challenging to us in the past yeah it was very good though very successful so Mike let's double-click hey how did you end up selecting NSX as a key enabler for this mega fight so we've been on this journey for virtualizing our data centers and putting things out in the cloud for some time and so we started out virtualizing servers then we went to storage and then we went to the next challenge for us was how do you do that eliminate that bottleneck that you had from a network perspective and so we use NSX allow us to move from a magical manual rigid delivery to a more software friendly delivery and we put things out there and then out on top of that added better security as well in that space so next week is another big season and I guess you'll see a big spike as the NFL season kicks off how are you leveraging your findings and learnings from the mega fight to address the NFL season starting next week so Carl we've been providing the NFL for 21 years so we have exclusive rights with the NFL we've had it for 21 years it's been very profitable for us and makes our customers sticky with us which we love but the demands are even greater every year every year we have challenges the first couple weeks trying to make sure we get everything working correctly and we go through a lot of rehearsals well in advance of this in fact the teams are working on them for the past month and solving that but those demands are very challenging and so now we even have more more challenges in the fact that we are having with the AT&T merger and now providing more services and capabilities out there so what we did is we took the lessons we learned from the fight and we apply them to the NFL season this year so this is probably our first year we're going to see this new capability that we've had in the past which we should help us tremendously so this season is critical to us especially with AT&T there's more demands more devices more capabilities that we've put out there we're doing more fantasy football capabilities more stats out there some more things that the consumer is going to interact with that's great Mike so before we let you go this morning what are some of your priorities let's say over the next five years that you're focused on to help continue to drive transformation across not only direct TV but the entire broadcast industry so the three things that we are focused on is cloud mobility slash digital and big data in our biggest challenges to support the vision of mobilizing every aspect of our business devices anywhere anytime anyplace and AT&T is really on the forefront of that then we have the broadband software definition networks that we're trying to do we're trying to move away from traditional networks that are hardware driven to be more leveraging software defined solutions in that space and then our expressions are with VMware's would be a great partnership with that so those are kind of the things that we have going in that from a cloud perspective and digital is big to us and then big data we will take that big data and information we get from our users apply that from how we better service them and give them a better experience well Mike we can't thank you enough for participating in VMworld and more importantly the partnership we have between direct TV and VMware thank you for your time and we hope you get to enjoy the rest of the show Carl thank you very much thank you Mike Benson and I'm quite sure you'll hear many more examples from both customers and partners throughout this week just like Mike's story now let me give you a sneak preview of what you'll hear in the keynotes this morning and then again tomorrow morning the next session we'll talk about run and how we can enable you to truly run a unified hybrid cloud platform and as I said earlier take advantage of the full power of the software defined data center to run any application that you so desire we'll follow that up and we'll have it drill down into how you can build and embrace traditional applications containers and cloud native technologies to support and transform your business going forward tomorrow morning we'll have an exciting presentation from Sanjay Poon and Noah Wasmer who will talk about VMware's vision of allowing all of you to look at your customers and say you can run any application on any device and you in IT can make sure it's secure by leveraging VMware's end user computing innovations that we continue to bring to market and then we're gonna wrap up the first part of the general session tomorrow morning talking about security and networking and how we collectively can come together and secure the data center in ways that have never been imagined in the past not only the data center but all the way to the device and then our closing keynote tomorrow morning is gonna be from Pat Gelsinger VMware's chief executive officer and he will give you his perspective on the five imperatives for digital business and he'll ask each of us the following question what do we as business leaders and IT leaders need to be prepared for in order to stay ahead over the next five years I promise you you're not gonna want to miss this powerful presentation from Pat in closing my session this morning I want to start where I begin and ask a question are you ready for any I would say that individually we're probably not but together we are absolutely ready for any enjoy VM World 2015 and enjoy the rest of the morning thank you business is changing fast and the competition fierce these successful companies depend on unified hybrid cloud services that let them innovate like a startup and deliver like an enterprise Harlan provides an ever-increasing amount of products and services but our core is credit card processing where we process millions of transactions a day every single one of the transactions that we process runs on VMware one of the things I really like about VMware is their cloud management suite and how you can manage a public and a private cloud in the same pane of glass that really improves our flexibility improves our agility and really speeds up the delivery of our services to our customers century and coffers a broad portfolio of managed services and infrastructure services working with the mware what we can do is we can extend those services to meet our clients means where they are today and where they want to go in the future like she's data center model really hinges on being able to use a hybrid model that really gives us the flexibility to use our own bare metal but within the data center to encompass both private cloud and public cloud VMware offers VIF the chance to make its vision possible and that is global education for all we have to have the ability to reach four million teachers across the US and beyond and then connect them with teachers all around the world the cloud gives us an unbelievable opportunity to scale globally to add security features to ensure a great user interactivity and to ensure that we have the capacity to grow even larger in the center would not be able to deliver what the business is asking of it without the tools that we get from VMware today because now we have the automation tools that come with the decod suite we now have an 85% reduction in infrastructure utilization in time to deploy it's just been a tremendous savings in every dimension ladies and gentlemen please welcome VMware's executive vice president and general manager cloud services bill fathers thank you last year you'll remember we talked about the amazing pace and accelerating pace of public cloud adoption right now over 90% of you now have workloads deployed in the public cloud you'll also remember we said to get those benefits faster with less risk and by meant and to get more flexibility you should embrace a hybrid strategy you just heard Carl talk about VMware's unified hybrid cloud strategy now you might be thinking what exactly do you mean by hybrid is this just as basic as connecting a SaaS application into an existing environment no it's a much more long-range mission it's a more fun that reflects a more fundamental shift in the application deployment patterns that we're seeing as you start to embrace the public cloud put practically hybrid cloud using a combination of private cloud public cloud based on our software defined data set center technology represents a way to solve some of the toughest challenges today that you're facing now the good news is that thousands of you are already embracing this hybrid strategy and getting great results from doing so so how are you doing that well what I'd like to do is take advantage of the fact that I have a fantastic job every week I get to see hundreds of examples of how clients are really starting to embrace the cloud and there's three dominant use cases that we see disaster recovery using the cloud to protect your crown jewels your mission critical applications application scaling you just heard a fantastic example from one of our strategic clients looking to get more performance availability from your application and mobile applications where you're looking to expose your core business processes to your customers now disaster recovery frankly is a use case that you have nailed you've absolutely cracked it and you'll see vmware continue to evolve our portfolio of offerings that we offer directly and through our vclad air network of partners and you'll see us also in start to do things like make site recovery manager available as a cloud-based offering you've absolutely nailed it so I don't need to spend much time there but these next two use cases or where we're seeing this emerging trend of how you're deploying applications differently so let me dive straight in and talk about applications scaling latency kills revenues it doesn't matter what business you're in you could begin we're getting ready for a pay-per-view fight you could be driving any commerce application you could be looking to do a trouble ticketing system or a hotel reservation system milliseconds matter and as many of you have tried to scale out your existing application that you've built on vSphere into a third-party public cloud you discovered it's both complex and very expensive now why is that well it's because there's a huge bottleneck and the bottleneck is networking which makes sense as you try and scale existing application into a third-party cloud that's an entirely different network environment now this is one of the hardest problems that we have solved so the vmware unified hybrid cloud platform allows you to extend your entire network architecture into the cloud so what you may say well the so what is twofold firstly your application that you're trying to scale out to hit the need for peak capacity can now look at the combined pool of infrastructure resource in your private and public clouds as a single pool of resource you can also do some really cool things and we're actually going to show you this in a few minutes you can also it gives you great deal of flexibility see how you move the application and you can also have security policies that follow the application wherever it resides so that means you can maintain things like compliance and again only vmware has delivered this next I want to talk about mobile applications these the kind of applications that are fueling the digital business for most of these you're exposing your systems of engagement to use some jargon and some of the mobile applications being deployed are amazingly disruptive you're seeing entire industries being disrupted by these kind of mobile applications and you're in San Francisco this is the home of mobile applications we've we've innovated we've disrupted micro rental of property micro rental of vehicles micro rental of pets that's the rental of pets for a short period of time not the rental of microscopic animals we went a bit crazy on that one I want to reserve a camel for Monday wait it's half price camels on Tuesday no no so despite them having gone a bit far these applications are profoundly changing a number of industries but the problem is is that deploying these mobile applications can be complicated and extremely different to architects and build why is that well very often you're deploying a mobile application in the public cloud but it needs to link back to existing mission critical applications that live on premises or in a private cloud environment and this requires you to seriously think about the ways in which you're doing things that your network architecture and your data residency because of course you're trying to protect some of the sensitive data and maintain all of your compliance standards while you expose them through to a mobile application in the public cloud so this is another of the really hard problems that the VMware unified hybrid cloud platform has solved and Carl also talked about the need to make sure that you're in customers the developers see this as a platform they want to develop net new applications and again your CVM where make a broader and broader range of application services available on this hybrid platform for things like mobile back end as a service platform services from folks like cloud foundry database service offerings from the broad spectrum and then of course all of the storage services that you need to meet the needs of the applications you're now developing so you can begin to see there's this very rapid evolution of the way you're deploying applications we're calling this new model hybrid applications with an application that's spanning both the public and private clouds this folks is the future the hybrid application if you think about it drives the need for very close integration between your on-premises or private and public cloud environments now the good news is that VMware is well ahead of the curve in terms of anticipating the tough challenges that hybrid apps would present to you and solving them now the reason for that is because an esteemed colleague of mine who leads all of our R&D efforts in the software defined data center world anticipated this trend several years ago so I'm gonna let him explain a little bit more about how our hybrid platform solves many of these hard integration challenges for you so it's with my great pleasure I'd like to introduce our executive vice president and general manager of our STDC division mr. Raghu Raguram thank you both good morning and welcome to VMware 2015 now I get to work with a fantastic engineering team at VMware they are inspired every day by the challenge of delivering the best infrastructure for all your applications now I've been at VMware for over 12 years and in these 12 years we've seen a tremendous evolution in how applications are constructed and architected in the early days of VMware applications were mostly confined to a single server so through server virtualization you could deliver the best infrastructure for these applications along the way applications became more complex they spread out across the data center business logic and data distributed across servers tied together by network services and storage services we created the software defined data center by virtualizing network and storage and compute to deliver the best infrastructure for these applications now as Bill just said application patterns are evolving yet again we are seeing the rise of the hybrid application where a part of the application is running in the public cloud a part of the application is running in the private cloud now how do you deliver the best infrastructure for these hybrid applications it's clearly not sufficient just to build a private cloud it's clearly not sufficient just to build a public cloud you need both but you need more you need a layer of common networking and a management and networking and a management back plane that makes one a seamless extension of the other if you do that you've got yourself a unified hybrid cloud platform the best infrastructure for an hybrid application is a unified hybrid cloud now to help you build a unified hybrid cloud we are investing in three major areas the first one is to simplify the private cloud now we cannot agree that building a private cloud and operating it on top of traditional infrastructure is very complex and hard with the software defined data center we are able to dramatically simplify this by turning infrastructure into software so now you can offer a private cloud to your customers that has the agility and the economics and the ease of consumption comparable to the public cloud the second area of investment is extended now think about the hybrid application we just talked about a minute ago so you've got some application components for running on servers in the middle of your corporate data center you got some application components running in the middle of your service provider data center the cloud and you got to connect all of these together into a single logical network and maintain that network even as these applications move around in their respective data centers and you got to do this for hundreds of hybrid applications this is a complex networking problem but that's not all in addition you got to be able to solve you require network virtualization to solve this problem obviously but in addition you need a hybrid networking layer that can simplify the task of routing accelerating encrypting and transporting the packets back and forth and then on top of that you need a set of management tools that allow you to manage these applications whichever wherever they are located so how you deploy your applications now becomes a matter of business choice not driven by architectural constraint the third area of investment is reach building out a public cloud service with a rich set of application services both from VMware and from our partners so that your end users can build applications that can literally reach millions of end users and devices across the globe now as you might have seen from the press releases today we are making exciting progress across all of these areas to bring us up to date on some of these latest things we have building let me bring up one of our senior engineering leaders yan bing Lee I have an incredible job at VMware I have two bosses I work for bill and ragu at the same time so working for both of them at the same time allow me to have a unique perspective about you know how we live and breathe the hybrid world and how our private and public cloud solution come together as a unified hybrid cloud so let me take you through some of the latest engineering innovations to show how VMware can help you build this platform Raghu already spoke about these challenges and the actions that we are taking around simplification how we can use software defined data center to help you simplify the process of building your private cloud how we can extend from your private cloud seamlessly and securely into the public cloud and how we empower your developers to build applications that can scale to millions of users and devices so let's dive in the technology foundation for this unified platform is the software defined data center over the years we continue to innovate in this space we have the best in class compute virtualization storage virtualization and networking virtualization and that certainly include my favorite personal favorite storage platform virtual sand and all of this is managed by a layers of automation through our v realized suite so Raghu you coined the terminology software defined data center you've been leading our effort what is top of mind for you in our days yeah I'm being like you just said we are making incredible progress in the individual components of the software defined data center what our customers now need help with this pulling these together along with the underlying hardware and the switches and so on into a solution they can operate at scale in an easy manner so easy and simplification I have some exciting news to share this morning we announced the new software the evil SDC manager so this is a software that allow you to replicate build rapidly build a complete SDC and also provides automatic life cycle management and we not only can help you control your virtual resources your logical resources but also physical resources for the first time such as top of rack switches in your data center and the evil SDC manager along with the rest of the SDC components form the evil SDC and that is the simplest fastest way to develop the deploy a complete SDC at scale so evil SDC is built on a scale out architecture you can start small with just eight servers and as you need more capacity you can scale out to multiple racks and one server at a time all the physical racks are tied together by a resilient scalable physical network and a key benefit of evil SDC is they make the installation and a configuration of software defined data center extremely easy what it used to take weeks of effort plus team of experts now can be accomplished in just two hours just two hours and a few clicks at your fingertips so it is that simple so let's look at the scale the let's look at the scale number each rack can scale up to a thousand VMs for IAS or 2000 for VDI and more than 2 million IOPS that is an impressive set of data by itself but you can scale out more by just adding more racks all of the resources are put together to form this virtual rack and you may be asking how can I bet make use of this virtual rack of compute memory and storage resources we've introduced a new concept called workload domain so this is essentially private cloud instances that you can optimize towards the need of your workload whether it's infrastructure as a service VDI or even big data we can help you utilize VMware's best practice and optimize to work your service level agreement and that's not all all of this is protected by the power of NSX you know it's tied together by the NSX networking infrastructure and protected by our micro segmentation capability that's great so now once we've gotten this operational right the real challenge is keeping the software up to date with the security patches and updates and so on so that is a significant problem for our customers absolutely that is a key challenge and this is where evil sdc manager brings the automatic lifecycle management in place so take a look at patching for example you know we can help you automatically patch not only the full sdc stack but even the firmware and the switching that is part of it and you can selectively patch just the workload domain that you're concerned of and with vMotion all of this can be handled without any interruption to your business so it is that simple so evil indeed with the sdc manager provides a comprehensive platform to deploy and operate the data center right absolutely so now let's go to the second of our three areas extend yeah so let's take a look at extend this is really the heart of this critical puzzle and by extension you know we need to allow you to seamlessly extend from private to public cloud and make the public cloud a true extension of your environment and we're going to look at this particular challenge from four different angles you know often customers have to re-architect their applications just to adopt public cloud and how we can help you synchronize your vm templates and applications automatically between private and public cloud you know how we can help you extend your network securely from on-prem to the public cloud and how we allow you to move your workload with minimum or even no downtime and how you manage everything through a single pane of glass so we're going to dive in with the demo on synchronization so what do you see on the screen is your familiar vSphere web uh web client we're going to demonstrate a new capability called content library that allow you to automatically sync vm templates between data centers so this capability was first introduced in vSphere 6.0 only for private data centers and we're extending that to work between private and public cloud so here you can see i already have a number of templates in my environment my developers just refreshed our e-commerce app and i want to push that out to my vCaught Air public uh public cloud so all i need to do let me import this new template and then you can see this new template is now part of my content library and to push it out to vCaught Air let me switch over to the vCaught Air portal and the content library portal all i need to do is click synchronize template and that template will be on its way from my private data center now to vCaught Air now you can see it is already appearing that's great so clearly moving the data around is useful however the deeper benefit seems to be that you don't have to recompile rearchitect repackage the vms none of that absolutely that's the true benefit of the content library automatic synchronization okay so in order to move this data we still need a robust network underneath what about that that's true that's you know networking is really the hard problem this is the heavy lifting that needs to happen in order to form that seamless connection so up until now unfortunately the industry has failed to come up with practical and financially feasible solution for all of you to use we also have to resort to a set of complex hardware and software components just to stitch the solution together and that is going to change today with vmware we have introduced the vmware hybrid network services so this is a set of services that are built on the power of nsx with advanced networking capabilities and also stretches between private and public cloud so we've introduced a lot of state-of-the-art features that span across different layers of your networking protocol you know direct connect vx9 extension van acceleration encryption and dynamic routing the beauty of this is everything is built into software so and vmware is the only company who can do that that's a massive step forward so end-to-end software networking across the two clouds on either end that's phenomenal so now once we have this industrial strength network platform what can we do now that previously could not be done yep so you know having this robust networking in place is like having the superhighway build so let's move some traffic around you know what is your favorite way of moving your workload and virtual machines you know my personal favorite is vmotion i was so curious about how vmotion worked i applied for a job at vmware eight years ago just for that so let me take you through a demo of how you can use vmotion to move the workload without any downtime so let's start the demo here you're looking at the familiar vSphere web client again i have some core services that are already running in my environment including some of the LDAP services and customers like MIT and many of you have critical services that you can't really interrupt to move them around and for example this particular LDAP4 vm has been running for over a thousand days that's three years almost three years so of course we can't afford to shut it down to move it to public cloud so what i'm going to do is to go back to my familiar user interface and i select migrate to vcutair and i'm going to go through this familiar wizard i choose vmotion based migration and i select my destination and a few familiar steps and this particular virtual machine will be on its way from my private Santa Clara data center all the way to vcutair's Virginia data center so let's let me get this straight so it's the same vmotion that we're all familiar with for years except now with this you're now able to accelerate, compress and move the vm's live from one location and one administrative domain to another location and provider's domain is that what just happened yes that's what just happened to Ragu what about the reverse what if you want to move that back what about the reverse you know having worked for Ragu for all these years i know he changed his mind quickly so this vm you know takes anywhere i can change my mind about your bonus too you know this vm's probably take anywhere between 15 minutes to two hours to travel across country so should we wait until it finished probably not so unlike the hotel California style providers that you have out there vmware does allow you to move your workload back and forth very easily so let's pick a different vm just to demonstrate this capability so i'm going to go back to my familiar user interface again i'm going to pick a different vm this time that is my LDAP5 server that's already in my Virginia data center and i make a connection to my on-premise ESXi i make the connection to my data store and this vm will be on its way from Virginia public cloud all the way to my private Santa Clara data center so you know ladies and gentlemen you know you've just witnessed history what we have shown here thank you who have shown here is the cross-cloud vmotion capability and you are the first live audience to see this in this forum and this is intact preview today and even though this looks very much like a similar experience as vmotion you know you may be wondering what is the secret source that makes it cross-cloud so the secret source is the hybrid networking capability that we've talked about earlier you know with all the acceleration and the encryption and robustness of our underlying network we have been able to accomplish this feat of moving our vm cross-cloud and cross between private into public data centers that's fantastic yeah i'm being so i can start to see how we are dissolving the distinction between the private and public turning it all into one class right now what about the management tools last year we showed vrealize right up on the stage that can deploy applications across private and public clouds so what's new in management yeah so vrealize suite as many of you are very familiar with is the you know unified management platform that can help you manage your private and public cloud together so last year ragu you already spoke about the power of this platform our engineering team continue to innovate and so let me give an example of a new capability we have so this is called the converged infrastructure and application blueprint for those of you who's familiar with blueprint you know that is a workflow automation that allow you to automatically provision applications into your cloud and we've extended this capability to cover both private and public cloud obviously you need to have visibility not just into your private environment but networking database infrastructure application and everything in between so that is the power of the converged blueprint and we've also further integrated vrealize operations and log inside into vrealize automation so when you make your application provisioning decision you know you can have the best information and best intelligence to help you make the best decision that's great so now we've simplified extended manage we've got a unified hybrid cloud platform now we're ready to run applications on absolutely so let's bring back bell thank you hi bill hey yembing it's your slightly more decisive boss oops great so we've built the hybrid platform now our developers would like to create a mobile application one of the use cases i talked about earlier could we perhaps see if we could do that yes let's take a look at that i've been waiting for this moment for bill to come up not because he's a more decisive boss but because talking about infrastructure is really really a lot of hard work so let's talk about applications and developers and mobile and all that good stuff so what i'm going to take you through is a mobile application my vmware so this is vmware's very own customer experience application and it's built on the power of vcalir with the help of mobile backend as a service so this application doesn't allow you to order a camo but i'm sure if camo improves customer experience we can consider incorporating that so this application is built with the help of mobile backend as a service so the beauty of mobile backend service is help you boost the developer productivity offers a consistent set of microservices that really make your development process very easy so let's dive in and see this in real action we will start with the demo so what do you see on the screen is a console of a mobile backend service provided by one of our partners kinwei so you know using this service we can help you do a lot of the hard things for example identity management so you can choose your own existing LDAP services or you can integrate with vmware's identity management that's going to be introduced by sanjay tomorrow or even the social media identification it also allow you to automatically connect to different type of data sources you may already have a lot of data and applications that's already running in your enterprise environment in your private data center so we allow you to automatically link to that for example i'm choosing my purchase requisition data data source to link to that and you know all of this can be done without writing a single line of code that's it yeah i'm wondering if developers can still be called developers without writing code so after the development and the testing what is ready to push for the production again you go through a very simple user interface you know you choose staging and push to production and this mobile app will be on its way to run on our unified hybrid platform it is that simple bill fantastic yamping so basically your developers have used a third party capability we've integrated with the hybrid platform created a mobile application linked it securely to data that was living on premises in their private cloud environment and bob's your uncle it's up and running yep that's what you've just seen so um you know there you have it a complete end-to-end unified hybrid platform so this is the first ever one cloud architecture that is in the industry so let me do some recap i started with the process of simplifying you know how sdc can help you simplify the process to get to private cloud and how the newly introduced evil sdc manager can help you further accelerate that process we've also launched a lot of new capabilities and new releases across the entire stack of sdc then we spoke about extent and how we can help you synchronize your vm templates across private and public cloud and how we can use the power of hybrid network services to make the seamless and secure connection and how we can use vmotion cross cloud vmotion to move workload and then manage everything through a single pane of glass that is realized sweet in the end we show you the mobile back end as a service and how that can help you boost the productivity of building mobile applications you know it gave me great pleasure to showcase some of these innovations in front of all of you do you spend time in the hands-on labs check out these capabilities and interact with vmr engineers and have a great vm work and go virtual sam thank you yambing tremendous job thank you very much yambing thank you thank you thank you didn't i say it was amazing did you see cross cloud vmotion unbelievable wow yeah yeah that's worth another round of applause right there so let me just summarize this section on behalf of yambing ragu and i hopefully what we've done here is provided you with a completely new way to think about your cloud strategy the future of applications is hybrid applications and you're going to need a hybrid platform i hope you've also learned that you do have some very real hybrid use cases today you've already got a number of the building blocks in place so i'd encourage you to use your time at vmworld this year to go and discover a lot more about the capabilities that vmware offers the entire ecosystem of partners that are also now building capabilities to augment the platform and discover more about some of the amazing business challenges that customers are already solving with this platform talking of really tough business challenges we all know that getting your mission critical applications like sap to run really effectively in the cloud is a tough challenge well a company that recently joined the emc federation of companies has absolutely solved that problem and it gives me great pleasure to introduce the CEO of Virtustream who's going to share that vision mr rodney rogers awesome awesome it's an awesome feeling to be here today as the CEO of emc's newest federation company and this is a path that we chose ultimately because of our deep belief in the unified hybrid cloud vision that bill and ragu just recently articulated this morning and our belief that Virtustream can play a critical role in helping fulfill that vision and our methods of running io intensive mission critical applications in the cloud so let's talk a little bit about who we are and what we do so Virtustream is a relatively young company my co-founder kevin reid and i conceived and formed the company in early 2009 shortly thereafter we brought into our founders fold two early vcdx vmware vcdx architects number 17 and 18 shan jennings and matt thur respectively and then shortly after that we brought in a critical infrastructure architect to help us think through and conceive the software that would ultimately run this platform and be at the core of our invention our initial motivation was to solve a problem that we didn't see many people attempting to solve and that was applying modern multi-tenant cloud architectures to running these io intensive mission critical applications in the cloud these are the spinal fluid types of apps that run the core order through cash functions of enterprise today and these applications are tough they will place a highly burdensome they will be burdensome into the underlying infrastructures that relates to the memory requirements to run those apps you generally cannot take advantage of embedded infrastructure triggers infrastructure aware triggers in those apps and ultimately resiliency is not addressed at the application level so we had our work cut out for it we had cut out for us we had to essentially get around all of those things while still adhering to the principles of building a modern cloud and architecture that had all the resiliency all the automation all the orchestration that you'd find out in the public cloud marketplace today so we built extreme our cloud management software it resides as an abstraction above the virtual machine management layer in the infrastructure as a service stack so we our IPAs connect with the center at we use that cloud management platform to run our own infrastructure as a service offering in the north america and western europe predominantly and we also make it available to enterprises for private cloud enable it into service providers that want to run this type of enterprise class cloud service and i would say we punched well above our weight as a young company we were recently ranked as the number one hosted private cloud provider and forester's recent wave report and we've been featured prominently in the garner magic quadrant cloud infrastructure as a service report highlighting the top 15 cloud providers one of the few independent companies in that at least we were so i'm going to just scratch the surface of our technology here a little bit i would encourage you to visit our booth today and to access our online materials to learn a little bit more but virtual machines underpin the tonnage of all the major public cloud services out there today virtual machines are sized based upon the peak application workload requirement of the apps that will run those virtual machines and the type of attribute whether it's processing speed or memory that the apps will require that will run on that virtual machine estate and what that does is it creates a situation where there is a natural headroom do that peak requirement sizing in the vm itself and it's very very difficult to control the individual attributes of compute ram storage iop commits bandwidth what we did to solve that problem is we essentially diffuse the definitional bounds of virtual machines and manage environments that we price and size to the aggregate of the individual attribute requirement of compute ram storage iop commits an intra cloud network bandwidth commits or the bandwidth that runs inside the dc we then put a logical unit of work around those attributes called a micro vm and the ratios between the attributes is something that we've sized that specifically for our target mission critical application use case over literally tens of millions of virtualized workloads we then put those micro vms in customer pools that are completely dynamic in other words they can expand and contract as necessary and we make any of the individual attribute available to any workload that's running over that customer pool assigned quality of service policies to that customer pool and what it allows us to do fundamentally is run in a an ultra efficient hardware estate and ultimately control each one of the individual attributes to ensure that in a multi-tenant architecture we don't have resource contention on the critical attribute required to run that particular application another way to look at this think of the outside data lines a cluster of hardware the inside data lines as physical servers as you layer virtual machines onto your infrastructure those virtual machines will come in various shape sizes based upon what the critical requirement is if you need processing speeds it'll be cpu if you need ram it'll be memory and the like and again what our software does is diffuses and eliminate the bounds of both not only the hardware that the virtual machines are running on but the actual virtual machines themselves and then what we do is three things we implement and run on an iterative basis our own bin packing algorithms to optimize the hardware estate bring up the memory utilization of the underlying hosts that are in the infrastructure environment itself the second thing that we do is run predictive algorithms to predict the future usage on hosts in our hardware estate based upon the behavioral characteristics of the workloads running for our customers in our hardware estate and then lastly our more granular input allows us to reduce the memory share settings at the hypervisor thus allowing us to get higher memory page utilization on what is already a highly utilized host what this does is it allows us through software to neutralize what our competitors may do be doing in terms of procurement stale and it also allows us to control that critical attribute of IOPS which is so important to run these mission critical apps in the cloud so we've talked about the sort of three killer we would want to talk about the three key pillars of the cloud performance automation security we've largely talked about the performance piece again the ability to control IO gives us the ability to control throughput which gives us the ability to actually control application latency on a cloud so we go to a fortune 500 cio and say you can run your heavyweight sap applications in production in our cloud and we'll actually guarantee beyond just the availability of the infrastructure but we'll guarantee how that app runs in our cloud it's extraordinary and it's been one of the things that's led to our commercial success one of the things we've also done is we've addressed the application landscape automation requirements these three tier architecture applications are constantly in need of synchronizing maintenance and versioning for the os the database and the underlying application itself and we've written a macro orchestrator on top of the Apache Brooklyn project that allows us to essentially automate through a digital library of of automation templates these functions so you can not only run a much more efficient hardware estate but it requires less labor to manage that hardware estate which is quite cool and then lastly we have been recognized as the only cloud service provider in Gartner's Magic Quadrant that was rated a five out of five for the last three years in a row on security and compliance and beyond doing the table stakes stuff like role-based access and two-factor authentication and tenant isolation we do things like employing Intel's trusted execution technology so we perform attestation at the bias level of the hardware this not only allows us to establish a route of trust for that hardware but it also gives us the ability to execute through sophisticated geo fencing and policy within our node and then finally we are able to draw in sensor-based data to turn point-in-time compliance adherence and security vulnerability into sort of an ongoing automated process so SAP's been a long-time partner of ours we were recognized in 2011 for running the first full business suite in production on a multi-tenant cloud 2011-2012 we brought their global demo landscapes on to our cloud 2013 saw SAP make a significant investment in virtual stream and today we're announcing that we're one of only three companies in the world that has been awarded premium hex supplier status largely for all the reasons I just discussed through this presentation so finally it is really exciting for us today to to be a part of this and to be a critical component in that unified hybrid cloud vision please stay tuned virtual stream is going to have a number of really exciting announcements in the next couple of months and with that I thank you ladies and gentlemen please welcome VMware's chief technology and chief development officer Ray O'Farrell good morning everybody you have to admit that cross-cloud vMotion that's pretty cool we're going to talk about something different here that we're going to focus on applications when carl came out today he was surrounded by I guess a dancing swarm of applications or something like that that's a phrase you never want to hear other at VMworld but in some ways we should have kept that that dancing swarm of applications here because we are going to talk about cloud native applications and what is specific about cloud native applications well broadly speaking they are the applications which the heart of many of the digital transformation that companies go through these applications typically leverage cloud infrastructure they leverage cloud frameworks and quite often they focus very much on a distributed and highly resilient type of application one of the things that we notice about these applications is they are often developed in-house and they are developed in-house by developers living in a line of business outside of it and that line of business is very focused on a very specific business outcome quite often it cuts right to the core of the competitive nature of the organization itself and because it is focused on such a competitive outcome there is a constant demand to change those applications update them make sure that they react to what's going into the market and that agility and that speed of change triggers these developers to leverage new technologies into space microservices and container-based technologies quite often when we meet with CIOs and IT experts they will tell us that they have some unique challenges managing and leveraging the opportunity of these new type of cloud native applications and when you think about that that's not particularly unexpected as a CIO and as an IT leader you are responsible for managing the IT and digital assets of an organization you worry about efficiency you worry about security you worry about compliance meanwhile you have these developers in a line of business who want to move extremely fast and they want to demand an agility and they want to change their software very often and you get a conflict between these two things so quite often you come to us and you will say what can we do to help here how can we allow you to bridge these two different methodologies of getting software out there one which is very traditional based but very compliant and secure and one which wants to leverage these new cloud native applications at VM where we have an organization an engineering organization within the office of the CTO focused specifically on driving cloud native applications and who better to tell us about what we're doing in this space would be Mr. Kit Colbert who I'd like to invite on stage right now Hi Kit how are you doing? Good man how are you? How's the new CTO gig treating you? Well I thought I'd be able to you know hang out a while for a couple of weeks and here I am in front of 20,000 of our most important customers I know it's amazing CTOs actually have to do work right? That's shocking I mean Apparently so Kit one point that I didn't emphasize before you came out is that VMware is looking at two approaches to this problem one which is very much focused on our existing infrastructure and the ability to extend the existing infrastructure to allow IT organizations to leverage that infrastructure and really take advantage of the new opportunities of cloud native applications and the other approach is a completely new platform and that platform is focused very much on use of containers and focus specifically on cloud native applications So containers comes up over and over again in these conversations can you tell us a little bit about them I'm gonna hand you the ticker CTO should never go CTO power I know okay Yeah let's talk a little about containers right so we're seeing a lot of interest in containers from developers and development organizations and the reason is that it makes it super easy to package up your application and move quickly through that application development life cycle so you talk about coding on your laptop pushing that out to a staging environment to do testing and then finally into production to deliver that to customers so we see with containers a huge opportunity for our customers and for businesses in general to really drive business agility So this new technology however when blended with your existing way of managing IT is likely to introduce some interesting management challenges Yes Can you show us a demo here which outlines some of those challenges and then let's take a look at some of the opportunities we have to address Definitely yeah so there are some challenges here let's take a look at the demo So what we're looking at here is a developer on their laptop on the command line leveraging Docker to provision an application that they've built out Now as you can see the power of containers here is really great because in just one command they can provision this multi-component application and when we see the the ps command here we can actually see that there's five containers that are part of this application Now if we switch over to the web browser here we can actually see what that application is in this case it's actually a web app a session builder app looks like you've got an interesting talk you're not getting free beer just forget it So okay but let's switch over to the viadmin's point of view Now remember the developer provisioned five containers but as you can see here the viadmin doesn't see those containers they only see two VMs here and that's the fundamental issue So what I'm seeing here is I guess an opportunity to have greater management when it comes to using containers in our existing infrastructure we see some challenges I guess with the way that the infrastructure is applied today and deployed today Can we go back to the slides please So what we see here is that typically when somebody applies containers in a virtual machine those containers are isolated to within that virtual machine The IT organization has no real knowledge about what's going on there's a challenge of partial visibility here they're unable to see the containers they just see the VMs The developers of course want to completely manage these applications using frameworks which manage the VMs directly but this is not just a management challenge it also introduces a potential security challenge because it is very difficult to manage what you cannot see and so this visibility leads to a limited security stance on behalf of IT All right I think there's also a challenge around tooling again all the tools that have been built out and integrated into vSphere focus on VMs so these tools can't see or manage the containers running inside of those VMs So what we're going to look at here is a new product or an extension of existing technology called the vSphere Integrated Containers and what this allows us to do is attack this challenge of visibility and management of containers within the existing infrastructure Yeah Can you tell us how this works? Yeah we're really excited about vSphere Integrated Containers because what we're trying to do here is bring together the best of both worlds we're trying to give developers the speed and portability and agility that they want from containers while at the same time providing IT ops with the security, the visibility and the management that they require to run these applications in production and we're doing that by making containers the first class citizens on vSphere that means that you can manage both traditional applications inside of VMs and next generation applications inside of containers side by side fully consistently on one platform So what happens under the hood here? Yeah let's dive in and take a look at how this works So as we saw in the previous demo today we have the VIM and provisioning a VM to a developer that VM is then they install a container engine inside of it and then they can provision containers inside of that VM Now this is essentially the container host we have here in that VM Now what we're doing with vSphere Integrated Containers is taking a little bit of a different approach we're actually deconstructing and virtualizing the container host and deconstructing that underlying VM so we take out the common things like the container engine and Linux and conceptually embed those inside of vSphere and what that enables us to do is a one-to-one mapping between containers and VMs one container per VM This means that the container is now the VM the VM is the container and that gives us all these great management capabilities that we just mentioned So can you repeat the same demo that we saw earlier and see how vSphere Integrated Containers changes the view from the IT administrator from a management point of view? Yeah let's jump into a demo and check that out Again the same scenario as you just mentioned The difference now is that ahead of time the VI admin will go in and set up something called a virtual container host Again as I said we're virtualizing that container host and now the VI admin can explicitly create one Now what this is under the covers is just a resource pool in vCenter Again you can put all the normal SLAs and everything else you do with resource pools The one thing we do do additionally is also provision a container engine inside that resource pool In this case it's a Docker engine So let's jump back over to the developer's point of view Now here we go again Same workflow as before that this developer is using Absolutely no changes And that's I think really the power here is they don't need to know vSphere is behind the scenes They can do their normal workflow using the tools that they prefer Okay so now the application is up and running So let's jump back over to vSphere Now before we only saw two VMs here But now with vSphere Integrated Containers as you see we actually see all five of the containers that developer provisioned We can get information about them But moreover we can also dive into the VMs that are backing those containers And as you can see these are fully flashed VMs They have all the tooling and integration that you would expect In fact this particular VM here is also actually using both NSX and VirtualSan But it gets better You can drill in You can get performance data Again this is just a VM in vSphere So anything you can do to vSphere now works on these containers I mean think about the 50,000 ecosystem partners we have All the tooling and technology they've built The hundreds of thousands of users Many of you in the audience and the millions of scripts that you've collectively written All that stuff now just works with containers That's the power of vSphere Integrated Containers and that's something that only VMware can do So one can see how this improves the basic management concept when it comes to leveraging containers within a vSphere environment However what resonates with me is some of the security implications of what you have just seen When you deploy containers today in a cloud environment a virtualized environment those containers typically reside within a single VM There may be groups of them but there's multiple containers within a single VM If one of those containers should become compromised in some way the other containers rely on the OS level of isolation to protect themselves However in this new product with vSphere Integrated Containers Rather than relying on the OS level of protection they're able to rely on the robust protection associated with virtual machines that you've come to trust for many years with VMware technologies Right that's a really good point But I think another question I often hear from folks is the question around efficiency You know they ask Hey wait a second Is a one container per VM model actually efficient? The answer is absolutely yes and it's because of a lot of the innovations that we've been driving in this space So the first one I want to talk about is something called Photon OS This is a lightweight container optimized Linux distro from VMware that we announced and released a few months back Now in particular to vSphere Integrated Containers this thing's only about 25 megabytes in size so very very compact and lightweight The second piece is something called Instant Clone We announced this last year at VMworld and called it Project Fargo then Now the power of Instant Clone is that you can get a new powered on virtual machine ready to go in less than a second And that virtual machine initially has no memory overhead So very quick very lightweight Now when you add these two together you get a new kind of virtualization a lighter weight kind of virtualization We call it just enough virtualization You get all the security the isolation and the operational benefits of virtualization Well at the same time getting all of the portability speed and agility benefits of containers Okay so let's hear from what some of our customers think about this new technology We're going to run a video from Keith Collins the CIO of SAS Hi I'm at the CIO at SAS We are the world's leading provider of analytics And of course in today's world the competitive space around analytics is of course exploding and our challenge is to make sure that we're leading that challenge meeting it head on accelerating to what our customers are asking us to do We're like every other company we're evolving Some of our software is traditional type of three-tier architecture design that's been prevalent and our new architectures of course are what you would call cloud native Well we've been actively participating with the VMware team to bring the vision to life to make sure that we can actually follow this cloud native design all the way from our R&D to what we're doing for our hosted customers We see the vision we're working together with you making the vision come to life Okay Keith can you give us a summary of what exactly is vSphere integrated containers just summarize where we are at this point Yeah well I really like what Keith was talking about there about this transition this journey there on toward a cloud native future and I think that's exactly what vSphere integrated containers provides Again it gives you the ability to run both traditional applications inside of VMs as well as cloud native applications inside of containers and to do that side by side fully consistently all on a single platform Okay I mentioned at the beginning of this presentation that we had two approaches when it comes to enabling cloud native applications and enabling you to execute and leverage them the first approach we've heard about that is the extension of existing vSphere technologies allowing you to leverage those technologies and leverage the large ecosystem around those technologies as well Now we're going to look at a new platform which is focused specifically for executing cloud native container based applications So let's consider for a moment that I want to develop a software as a service application As a developer I want to make sure it is awesome It's an awesome big giant scalable application What are the things that I need to think about? I need to think about the scalability of that application I want to be able to work with millions of instances I am also focused on API driven management How else can I manage something of this awesomeness and scale? I will probably decide to use containers I've got the luxury of doing that because I'm developing this new cloud native application and I also would insist that it's simple to run and deploy And for this there is a new platform coming from VMware and this is called the VMware Photon Platform Yeah, we're really excited about the Photon Platform This is a new scalable infrastructure stack from VMware that is built and optimized for cloud native applications Now as you point out Ray a lot of the folks that are driving this are really looking for an API centric model So this is exactly how we built it API first, DevOps type of design Also we of course had multi-tenant isolation and security built in top to bottom And finally you talk about this notion of scale and when you start scaling up to very large levels it's very easy for complexity to creep in So we've been very focused at making this super simple targeted feature set very easy to run at high scale with good security So as we did in the case when we discussed the vSphere integrated container platform once again can you dive in here and give us an idea of what's going on under the hood Sure So to be very clear this is a different stack from vSphere However it takes some of the components from vSphere to build it out So there's two primary components inside of Photon Platform The first of which is called Photon Machine This is a compute host the thing you install on your physical machines Now this actually takes the core virtualization engine the microvisor if you will from ESX and it combines that with our Linux distro Photon OS Really what we see Photon Machine being is the convergence of the hypervisor and a Linux OS to a lightweight very secure package that you install on your physical hosts Now the second piece of this is Photon Controller This is a distributed multi-tenant control plane And again think about this you're going to have thousands or maybe tens of thousands of Photon Machine instances out there You need a very scalable framework in order to be able to manage all that and provision to all that simultaneously hundreds of thousands or maybe millions of containers This is exactly what Photon Controller does The great part about it no single point of failure but it does expose a single logical API endpoint so very very easy to use So the Photon Platform consisting of the Photon Machine and the Photon Controller has a very particular design point We wanted to make sure that it sits in the stack right at the point that still allows you the flexibility to leverage the open stack frameworks and the data platform I'm sorry the open frameworks and the data platforms that are used to using for deploying your cloud native applications So frameworks such as Cloud Foundry Docker and Mesos All of those can still be used with the Photon Platform Right I think it's really important that we're seeing increased usage of this within our businesses and customers and really seeing these platforms driving forward application development So here we want to jump into a demo but before we actually get into the demo itself I want to walk through a slide that kind of talks about what it is it will be showing We talked about this big awesome scalable application and the reality is in order to build that you have to have multiple application teams each working independently toward these various components Now each of those teams are going to choose frameworks themselves based on their needs and this all needs to run on top of Photon Platform in a very very scalable way Okay so with that in mind let's actually jump into the demo Now what you're looking at here is the Photon Platform Cloud Admin UI As you can see there's about a thousand hosts the Photon Platform is aggregating over and really taking all those resources and creating a giant logical pool of compute network and storage It can then deliver those resources out to the tenants again the lines of business and the development organizations we were just talking about So you can see here we have three tenants let's check out the first one here the recommendation engine Now these folks have chosen to use mesos to build out their component Now I think one of the key points here is that we're not focused on individual containers you just can't do that when you're talking about hundreds of thousands of containers right Instead you focus on the frameworks and what helps you get greater and greater scale So these folks are using mesos that's great Let's go to the next tenant Now we see in this tenant these guys have actually chosen Kubernetes Now let's take a deeper look at how they can actually leverage HOTON platform and use Kubernetes here So now we're switching over from the Cloud Admin view to more of the developer or line of business point of view Now you can see what they're doing here is they're using a single command to actually provision a new Kubernetes instance So keep in mind that the underlying infrastructure here is VM based but ideally these folks don't need to interact with VMs They interact with the clustering frameworks that they choose to use And you can see here we've already provisioned it we can check on the status of it and see that this Kubernetes deployment is ready to go So very, very easy Now we can go and provision an application to it So this is again trying to optimize the workflow for these developers and development organizations Now we go back into the HOTON platform you are here we can see when we update it that oh, I'm sorry and we have all of our recommendation engines here Okay, so let's go back and refresh the screen here and we can see multiple Kubernetes nodes have been deployed That's great So let's go to our third tenant Now on the third tenant what we have is them using Pivotal Cloud Foundry really the premier structured application platform So let's jump in and see what these developers are doing from their point of view So again they can talk to Cloud Foundry and see the number of applications they're running They've got one app here it's got about 10 instances This app is moving from dev test into production so they want to dramatically scale that up by about a thousand instances So again with a single command it's very easy Cloud Foundry will go off and start doing that talking to HOTON platform underneath to rapidly scale out this lightweight form of virtualization which again provides all the security benefits operational benefits we just mentioned while at the same time the sort of agility that we're seeing here So this is essentially FOTON platform enabling multiple application and development teams to very rapidly build out their applications in a safe, secure and scalable manner So how does one get hold of the FOTON platform? Well we have three distribution options Number one we will be making the FOTON controller available as open source and if you recall the FOTON controller is the key infrastructure management layer at the heart of the FOTON platform The FOTON platform itself will be available from VMware under subscription This is the complete platform FOTON machine FOTON controller brought together And thirdly we're missing one here And thirdly we are going to offer an integrated bundle between Cloud Foundry and the FOTON platform This is a unique bundle because it allows you to operate and develop these applications all the way from the very highest level of the pass all the way down to this much closer and deeper management of the underlying infrastructure This is an announcement we're particularly excited about As I said before Pivotal Cloud Foundry is the premier structured application platform and we think it's the best way for enterprises to build and run their cloud native applications So we're very excited to announce this industry first end-to-end cloud native platform tackling both the application side and the infrastructure side seamlessly integrated So let's bring it back together We want to bring it back together We've spoken about two separate platforms the vSphere integrated platform which basically allows to leverage to a large degree what you've got and the huge ecosystem that's there and then the cloud native platform which is new but can you compare the two please? Yeah, I mean just at a very high level to keep it very very simple what we're focused on with vSphere integrated containers and vSphere is really about enabling the best of both worlds managing traditional applications inside of VMs and cloud native applications inside of containers side by side For some customers they're looking at running only containers and these greenfield data centers and very high-scale software as a service type applications and for them that's exactly what we created Photon Platform for So really this is about giving our customers options and enabling them in many cases to actually use both technologies the right tool for the right job So speaking of options at the when I spoke about the Photon Platform I indicated the focus that we had and supporting the flexible frameworks on top of that platform the same equally applies obviously to the vSphere integrated container platform and in fact to a large degree you get to leverage a huge amount of the existing ecosystem which exists around VMware products So I think you know one thing you mentioned about the betas right and I think that's something I'm sure a lot of people are very interested in So if you are please reach out to your VMware account team to get more information Now there's a tremendous amount of cloud native activity happening here at VMworld this week There's so much in fact we're trying to track it all so we actually put together a little field guide for you to make sure you know where to go and when So this is the right thing to go check out Finally we're doing something kind of fun and innovative with vSphere integrated containers We're leveraging it to run Docker and MS-DOS and old DOS games like Prince of Persia So go give this thing a try It's in the hang space in Moscone West And I think one other point I wanted to make here is that we've talked about a lot of really cool new technologies over the past hour and a half or so And you know we're just a few people up here on stage but really there's a huge team of engineers that are behind all of this So I'd really like to take a moment and actually thank the engineering teams for delivering everything that they have Yes Let's give them a round of applause Huge effort Thank you kids So let's wrap up here So in the early part of the session Carl came in and he spoke about one cloud any application any device The VMware vision to bring all of these things together Later on we had Ragu and Bill and Yan Bing discuss the VMware unified hybrid cloud and why that is the best place to run your applications Kate and I have just spoken about the technologies we can bring to bear to run your cloud native applications However to complete the whole VMware vision you need to come to the keynotes tomorrow And please remember they start at nine o'clock tomorrow And there you'll learn about how VMware is the best place to deliver these applications particularly into the mobile space And also we have the best technologies to secure these applications The end of that keynote Pat Gelsinger the CTO of VMware will also present a very forward looking view of where he thinks this industry is going So with that thank you very much and have a great VMware
