Server Virtualization & Cloud Computing Journey
Server Virtualization
• X86 virtualization
• VM containers
Abstraction - Virtualization
• Hosts and clusters
• Elasticity, mobility (vMotion)
Pooling
• Multi-tenancy
• Automation & provisioning
Slicing
• Private cloud
• App self-service
Cloud
BUT, NETWORKING GETS IN THE WAY !

" Abstraction: vSwitch started the SDN & network virtualization journey
" Pooling: vDS enabled pooling of network ports across clusters
" Slicing: VXLAN enables instant elasticity across L3, multi-tenancy
" Automation: Consume logical, elastic networks on demand
" Additional Services: FW, LB, VPN, IPAM & logical service insertion
