My Official VMworld 2012 Sessions

Well as many of us saw the E-Mails went out last night for the VMworld Sessions that were accepted.  Looks like I will have two total and one I am moderating….for now.  You never know what else I will get pulled into like the VMworld Expert 1:1 and the VMworld Group Discussions.  Below are the sessions as they stand now, so please add them to your list!  There may be one other one I am going to help provide some content on and maybe pop in during the session, but that is yet to be decided.

VMworld Session ID: OPS-CSM1167

Title:  Architecting for vCloud Allocation Models

Abstract:  In this session Frank Denneman and Chris Colotti will break down the three vCloud Director Allocation models in depth. Each model’s settings will be shown in detail to explain the effect on vSphere resource scheduling. They will then show how Allocation models of the same type with different configurations, as well as different allocation models could live on the same Provider vDC. The goal is to demonstrate that by not only fully understanding the allocation models, but the vSphere resource allocation together you can design for multiple allocation models on a single Provider vDC. This session is a must for anyone implementing vCloud Director that wants to maximize their cluster and vCloud resource designs.

Title:  vCAT 3.0 Implementation Examples Behind the Scenes (New Title Pending)

Abstract:  This session will provide an overview of the new format for the Implementation Examples document in the vCloud Architecture Toolkit 3.0 (vCAT 3.0). This release continues to build on the success of hundreds of customer solutions utilizing the design considerations and design patterns included. The Implementation Examples are the incarnation of several use cases and modular components that can be utilized by architects currently designing a vCloud solution. A discussion of the key drivers that caused a change in document format will be conducted. A discussion of several of the specific Cloud architecture examples in the document will be conducted. A review of how the content is developed and the lessons learned from vCAT Implementation Examples will be presented . The target audience includes planners, architects, implementers, and operators of a vCloud solution.

Title:  Architecting a Cloud Infrastructure

Abstract:  This session will discuss the various design considerations when architecting the foundation for every solid cloud environment: vSphere 5.0. We will start with sizing and scaling and end with some operational guidance. Different examples will be used to show the impact design considerations can have on the availability of your services.
