VMware Live vMotion Application Mobility Within and Between Data Centers

• VMware vMotion allows Virtual Machines to migrate for high availability and load sharing

• vMotion can relocate VMs from one datacenter to another without downtime

– VMware virtual volumes, VMFS datastores can span datacenters (using VPLEX)

– Requires stretched Layer 2 VLANs to enable Distance vMotion


vMotion over Distance Use Cases Drivers for real-time movement of applications between DCs

Disaster avoidance

User performance / load balancing (follow the sun)

Optimization for power costs (follow the moon)

Data center migration

Zero downtime for planned maintenance

Round the globe computing


Brocade Networking for VM Mobility Brocade VPLS provides robust, scalable, standards

based L2 IP Virtual Private Network.

Brocade ADX enables non-disruptive Live vMotion using vCenter integration to keep clients connected to the applications

Brocade VDX and Ethernet Fabric enhances VMotion within the data center and across data centers

Brocade DCX 8510 for Dark Fiber or WDM provides advanced Metro capabilities like compression, encryption, trunking, and forward error correction

Brocade FCIP Fast Write reduces response time by 50% or increases distance by 2X for VPLEX Metro by reducing latency.


Affordable, Scalable, Manageable Brocade Networking with VMware vMotion and EMC VPLEX

• Entry level models for FCIP (MP-7800B), VPLS (CES/CER), and GSLB (ADX-1000) all provide very affordable starting configurations.
