VMworld 2015 Europe: INF4936 - Insight Into vSphere 6 vMotion Architecture, Features ...

There are many trends influencing the future of the datacenter environment, including the increasing adoption of the software-defined datacenter, geographically dispersed multi-site enterprise environments, and the continued expansion of public cloud usage. vMotion in vSphere 6 delivers breakthrough new capabilities to address these trends and enable new use cases. Included with vSphere 6 vMotion are features – Long-distance migration, Cross-vCenter migration, vMotion across subnets – that enable seamless migrations across current management and distance boundaries. vMotion is fully integrated with all the latest vSphere 6 software-defined data center technologies including Virtual SAN (VSAN) and Virtual Volumes (VVOL). Additionally, the newly re-architected vMotion now enables extremely fast migrations suitable for private cloud deployments. In this session, join engineers from the development and performance teams to get an insiders' view of vMotion architecture, cutting edge features introduced in vSphere 6, best practices, and tools for performance troubleshooting. Performance studies will be presented for some of the hot topics including Long Distance migrations and Monster VM migrations. Finally, take a sneak-peek into the future directions for vMotion including migration to public clouds.
