“VDI Complete is a turnkey offering for virtual
desktop infrastructure that contains all the
elements necessary to implement VDI.” –
CRN Magazine
Public University with 27000+ students: “VDI Complete” on All-Flash vSAN
Challenges
• Policy of supporting “BYOD” for students to access wide variety of apps for classwork
• VDI required to level the playing field providing consistent experience for students
• Scalable and performant storage required for supporting thousands of desktops
• VDI solution was fragmented, complicated and expensive with multiple vendors for
server, app virtualization, hardware, graphics & thin client apps
• GPU and advanced graphics support required for increased consolidation ratios
Benefits

Use Case
• Run thousands of financial modeling & stock trading apps that require high IOPS &
sub-millisecond latency response times
• Applications require “consistent” sub- millisecond latencies in order to meet SLAs
“We want to standardize on “All NVMe
platforms” in our datacenter and vSAN on
Dell with P3700 is the right step to do that”
- IT Director
Leading Investment Banking Firm runs Stock Trading & Financial Apps on All Flash vSAN
Challenges
• Unable to meet SLAs for stock trading apps on traditional SAN
• Financial Applications were ”sluggish” due to high and inconsistent latencies on
traditional storage
• Traditional SAN was too expensive with low consolidation ratios for financial apps
Benefits
• SDDC Initiative to go 100% HCI was fulfilled by vSAN
• Early Adopters of vSAN All Flash over NVMe (Intel P3700) to benefit from consistent
and sub-millisecond response times and consistently high IOPS for financial apps
• 30% cheaper than traditional storage
• Plan to move to “All NVMe Servers” soon
Hardware
• Dell Blades & Rack Servers with Intel P3700 NVMe managing up to 750TB
VMworld 2017 Content: Not fo

Use Case
• Tier-1 Apps (GE Centricity EMR, PM, PACS), Siemens Soarian Clinicals
• SQL Server and Oracle databases
• VDI with Citrix
• Cisco UCS C-Series
“The more applications we migrate to vSAN
the more departments are requesting to be
on it…”
- Chad Elliott, Network Systems Consultant
Healthcare Provider in IndianaTier-1 Healthcare Apps and Databases
Key Drivers
• Aging SAN reaching end of life; too expensive to upgrade
• SAN overload causing database latency, application crashes, delays accessing
patient records, slow reporting
• Did not want to introduce new vendors in the mix
Results
• 6x Faster Reporting: Database latency reduced from 200ms to <1ms
• 50x More IOPS: 900 IOPS on old SAN, 53,000 on vSAN
• 90% Less Time to Manage: tasks took 1/10th the time it took on old NetApp SAN
• 50% More Consolidation: previously 40 sessions/server, now 60Case StudyInfographic

Remote Office/Branch Office (ROBO)
VMworld 2017 Content: Not fo

bution
What is a Remote Office or a Branch Office (ROBO)?
Central Site
Remote Office Branch Office
• It is NOT a data center, corporate headquarters, or primary
corporate facility
• Standard set of infrastructure configuration that is typically
repeatable
• In many industries, often a key part of the business (such as retail
stores, manufacturing plants, etc.)
• Limited Number of Workloads (such as Active Directory Services,
DNS, File services, VDI, Point of Sale applications at stores,
CRM, etc.)
VMworld 2017 Content: Not fo
r publication or distri
bution
Distributed Locations
Typical Challenges with ROBO Infrastructure
• Scale: Many small sites across
remote locations; need to add
more seamlessly as business
grows
• No IT admins in the remote sites
• Low bandwidth connection to central data center
• Frequent network issues with little support
• Limited budgets
• Specialized hardware and
management/business
continuity solutions are cost
prohibitive
Network Connectivity Limited IT Budgets

• Avg. hosts per site 3
• Avg. number of VMs per site 6
• Majority stores have <5TB storage

Data Center on Wheels
vSAN on Compact Form Factors
VMworld 2017 Content: Not fo

Use Case
• vSAN cluster on the train: collect and store live metrics – engine performance, fuel
efficiency, live traffic/weather data etc. on the vSAN datastore
• Run analytics engine to determine shortest path
• Law requires electricity on train to be shut down daily so vSAN cluster has to be
restarted everyday and yet ensure the analytics SLAs are met
• Compact UCS B-Series Blades
vSAN INSIDE a high speed train provides storage for running real time analytics
Challenges
• Each high speed train runs “12 hours” every day
• Run an analytics engine on top of “compact storage” within the train to collect “live
metrics of engine efficiency & other factors” to determine shortest route
• Storage performance and “small form factor” critical for real-time decisions
• Strict requirements of power efficiency
Benefits
• vSAN allows for small & efficient form factor on UCS Blades
• Operational simplicity for daily use on the train
• Moving to all-flash provided better OVA and analytics performance

Use Case
• Tactical mobile computing system using VMware HCI
• Converged module is a small 12 pound cube that “fits in a duffel bag”
• Tactical systems run Exchange, SharePoint, SQL Server etc. for warfighters in field
• Compact Dell FX2 blades
• Mobile, ruggedized communication solutions for
military forces
“Our new model is small enough to carry on a
Hummer tank, in an overhead compartment.”
- Tom Lynott, Software Engineering Manager
vSAN INSIDE a Rugged, War Tank
Challenges
• Strict requirements of portability, reliability in harsh environments
• Reduce weight, size of tactical mobile computing system deployed in war zones
• Power consumption of SAN was too high for rugged, extreme environments
• Building and managing SAN-based system was too complex for field generalist
Benefits
• 75% Better Portability: reduced size by 85% and weight by 75%
• 90% Faster Deployment: reduced build times from 9 hours to 25 mins
• 10x Faster Performance
• 7x Lower Power Consumption: battery uptime improved from 18 mins to 2 hours
