Tackling Complex Datacenter Management
vCloud Management
• Each management layer abstracts complexity and simplifies administrative tasks
• Each management layer offers integration and extensibility through APIs
• vCenter Orchestrator and Log Insight is the shared “connective tissue” between each layer

Who is accessing the app?
Where are they?
What device are they using?
What are the network conditions?
Application Delivery Networking
• Provides local and global scaling, security, and acceleration for application traffic
• Services are dynamic – managing traffic based on real-time conditions and events, and must be efficient for performance
• Context awareness (user, network, location, device, availability, performance) and the policy determines traffic management

Key Elements For Automating Application Delivery Services • Centralized, unified management and point of integration
• F5 BIG-IQ Cloud
• Open API for integration with ecosystem • F5 iControl REST
• Policy templates which can express rich, bundled L4-7 services • F5 iApps Templates
• Abstract complex details of configuration, without sacrificing functionality
• Repeatable, streamlined, simplified deployment of all F5 services

What Is BIG-IQ?
Automate BIG-IP Network / Services
Orchestrate BIG-IP Services
Application Performance and Health Monitoring
Provision Cloud, Security
and ADC services for your
private cloud or as
a service provider.
Use centralized application
visibility and reporting
leveraging on-box stats,
health monitoring and
analytics to ensure optimal
application performance.
Automate BIG-IP services
for multiple deployment
and provisioning
scenarios.

F5 iApps™: Complete ADN Service Templates
• App-centric templates that
bundle complete F5 service
configurations
• Encapsulate best practice,
tested configurations of ADC
services, eg “Exchange”
• Similar to VMware vApps,
Host/Storage Profiles, etc
• All F5 BIG-IP features and
platforms are accessible
through an iApp
Strategic Points of F5/VMware Automation Integration
F5 Networks Plugin for vCenter Orchestrator
What is vCO?
• vCO is a workflow engine—executing a set of pre-defined actions in a programmatic fashion to perform a task
• Drag and drop interface to build workflows

vCEF***
* VMware requires vSphere Enterprise Plus to run vCNS
** vCNS is a component of vCloud Suite. It can be purchased with vCloud Suite or as a standalone SKU.
*** vCloud Ecosystem Framework is a feature of vCNS that provides the APIs needed. It is not a separate product or SKU that needs to be purchased.

Workflow
The ADN Services Solution
Let’s Review
• Apps and supporting L4-7 ADN services are complex, and necessarily dynamic
• Currently the bottleneck of application provisioning and deployment times in the dynamic data center lies with L4-7 and ADN services
• Unlike L2/3, L4-7 services require expertise and coordination across teams (network, security, application)
• Apps and app delivery services can span pods, datacenters, and geographically dispersed locations. Using a holistic, centralized management solution like BIG-IQ Cloud will streamline ongoing operational cost
• Using an application-centric model for automation, orchestration, and lifecycle management of ADN services allows efficiencies in reusability, consolidation of services, and improves operational efficiencies
