VMware CEO Pat Gelsinger announced a new hybrid cloud strategy today along with a series of product updates, including a new version of vSphere, VSAN, VVOLs, a distribution of OpenStack and integrations of NSX with vCloudAir.

VMware spoke with their customers and found that they are looking for three key areas when it comes to IT:
  • Instant Technology
  • Fluid Technology
  • Secure Technology 
VMware is uniquely positioned to assist customers with these areas, enter the One Cloud architecture, based on best-in-bread products in compute, storage and networking virtualization.  

With a foundation of vSphere 6.0 and new features including One Management, whether on premise or off, NSX built into vCloudAir, VSAN,  and VVOLs the architecture is designed to bring a unified cloud. CEO Pat Gelsinger states that "customers increasingly need a software-defined infrastructure to enable the level of speed, agility and flexibility to respond to the challenges of IT."

VMware vSphere 6.0
VMware is raising the bar again with more than 650 new features in vSphere 6.0. Some of the newly announced features include:
  • New Enhancements in 2D and 3D graphics for VDI with the ability to deploy 500 VMs 13X faster than the previous version of vSphere 5.5. 
  • Scale and Performance enhancements to support application scale-out like Hadoop, Platform as a Service and new vCloud Native applications.
  • Availability is increased through Zero Downtime migration features for long distance vMotion migrations (100ms roundtrip which use to be 10ms) and continuos availability through FT for larger vms, supporting up 4 vCPUs.
  • Improvements to the vSphere Web Client with over 100 enhancements.
  • Integration with OpenStack which is now included for Enterprise Plus customers.
  • VMware vCenter Server Appliance (VCSA) 6.0 will support 1000 hosts and 10,000 powered on VMs.

VMware VSAN
With significant improvements in scale and functionality new features in VSAN include:
  • All Flash architecture introduced enabling quadruple its performance to 90k IOPs per node with low latency.
  • Addition of enterprise class snapshotting and  instant cloning.
  • Fault Domains (Rack Awareness) means that the name node knows where each data node server is and in which rack. This ensures that you can write data to 3 different data nodes that are not on the same physical rack, which helps prevent data loss due to data node and rack failure.

VVOLs
vSphere Virtual Volumes enable native virtual machine awareness on third-party storage systems along with VMware's Instant Clone technology for cloning and provisioning thousands of virtual machines to make a new virtual infrastructure. 
  • Heterogeneous storage infrastructure.
  • Policy-driven control plane. 

OpenStack
OpenStack distribution will enable smaller IT departments with "little or no OpenStack or Linux experience" to deploy an OpenStack cloud within minutes.
  • Available for free to Enterprise Plus customers.
  • Production grade OpenStack with vendor neutral APIs.

VMware NSX
NSX will enable customers to achieve unprecedented security and isolation in a cloud with new features and enhancements.
  • New enhancements for Network Security Groups and Isolation.
  • Dynamic Routing.
  • Scalability up to 200 endpoints.
  • Enhanced VPN.
