Recently the IBM Cloud for VMware architecture team posted several new and updated architecture documents related to VMware on the IBM Cloud.
VMware: We’ve updated our base VMware on IBM Cloud virtualization architecture to converge the VMware Cloud Foundation and VMware vCenter Server architecture specifications. This reflects important points of convergence such as the recent availability of vSAN on VMware vCenter Server, and also our move to vSphere 6.5 and all–flash storage with vSAN 6.6.
NetApp ONTAP Select: We’ve published our architecture specification for the automated deployment of NetApp ONTAP Select on IBM Cloud, a software–defined storage offering that brings all the capabilities of NetApp ONTAP, including the ability to integrate with your on–premises NetApp storage.
Veeam: While Veeam has been available for some time as an integrated part of IBM Cloud for VMware Solutions, we’ve now published our architecture overview for Veeam Backup & Replication on IBM Cloud, including important considerations for sizing and scaling your Veeam deployment.
FortiGate Security Appliance: IBM Cloud infrastructure has offered the FortiGate Security Appliance (FSA) for quite some time as a means of protecting your public VLAN. IBM Cloud for VMware Solutions recently integrated the automated deployment of a FortiGate appliance as an add–on service for your VMware instance. Our FortiGate Security Appliance on IBM Cloud architecture includes important considerations about how to configure the appliance to ensure the proper functioning of the IBM automation and other add–on services such as Zerto and F5 BIG–IP.
