Common Practical Issues • How can I provision more seamlessly? • How can I make application performance better? • How can I automate more administrative tasks? • How can I simplify network configuration for VMs? • How can I take full advantage of VMotion? • How can I secure my virtual desktop deployments? • How can I streamline virtual desktop access steps?

  27. Server Virtualization & F5

  28. Improving VM Density Offload Typical virtualized server Same server with BIG-IP • SSL • Caching • Compression • One Connect • TCP Optimization

  29. Automating Network Changes: vCenter • BIG-IP LTM & VMware vCenter can be integrated for automatic provisioning of local VMs on demand • Respond to changes in traffic volume • Provision to mean rather than peak • Reduce manual labor

  34. F5 Management Plug-In for vSphere

  35. F5 Management Plug-In for vSphere • Free Software Plug-In for VMware vSphere • Attaches to vCenter Server – modifies vSphere Client GUI • Operates with both physical and virtual LTM editions • Streamlines the administrative steps of adding VM nodes from load balancing pools • Automates actions based on pre-defined policies • Reduces risk of error • Reduces manual effort • Officially supported by F5 (in it’s unmodified state)

  36. vSphere Client GUI

  37. Example: Right-Click VMand disable VM via BIG-IP

  38. Long Distance VMotionDetailed Review

  39. Escaping Boundaries Between DCsNew Use Cases for Well Established Functionality • Migration • Disaster avoidance • Capacity expansion • Key Technical Problems Solved: • Performance problems caused by latency or bandwidth • Network retransmission of client traffic from site 1 to site 2 • Loss of app sessions when migrating to another location

  40. How it works – the fundamental steps • Storage VMotion to Site 2 • VMotion to Site 2 • LTM routes incoming connections for existing sessions to Site 2 VM • GTM routes new connections to Site 2 • Register host and VM in vCenter Site 2 (optional)

  41. Logical representation, not physical Internet EtherIP Tunnel EtherIP Tunnel vCenter Server

  42. Acceleration & Encryption • F5 testing results of common bandwidth/latency combinations • iSessions™ or WAN Optimization Module™ (WOM) • SSL encryption • Acceleration: TCP Optimization, Deduplication, Compression • Able to successfully VMotion in conditions where previously failed
