7 VCF on VxRail Multirack Deployment using BGP EVPN
VMware Cloud Foundation on VxRail makes operating the data center fundamentally simpler by bringing the
ease and automation of the public cloud in-house by deploying a standardized and validated network flexible
architecture with built-in lifecycle automation for the entire cloud infrastructure stack including hardware.
SDDC Manager orchestrates the deployment, configuration, and lifecycle management (LCM) of vCenter,
NSX, and vRealize Suite above the ESXi and vSAN layers of VxRail. It unifies multiple VxRail clusters as
workload domains or as multi-cluster workload domains. Integrated with the SDDC Manager management
experience, VxRail Manager is used to deploy, configure vSphere clusters powered by vSAN. It is also used
to execute the lifecycle management of ESXi, vSAN, and HW firmware using a fully integrated and seamless
SDDC Manager orchestrated process. It monitors the health of hardware components and provides remote
service support as well. This level of integration is what gives customers a truly unique turnkey hybrid cloud
experience not available on any other infrastructure. All of this with available single vendor support through
Dell EMC.
VMware Cloud Foundation on Dell EMC VxRail provides a consistent hybrid cloud unifying customer public
and private cloud platforms under a common operating environment and management framework. Customers
can operate both their public and private platforms using one set of tools and processes, with a single
management view and provisioning process across both platforms. This consistency allows for easy
portability of applications.
