Enterprise Application Development

Dev / Test Lab - Infrastructure

Continuous Integration / DevOps

OpenStack (SVM in the cloud)

Training and Hands-on-Labs

Android Development

VMware ESXi

Some common use cases

3

development & test cloud servicepowered by nested virtualization

use Ravello to accelerate development and test processes

and many more

Ravello is a nested hypervisor built by the team behind KVM

How does Ravello compliment AWS?

run your VMware / KVM VMs and appliances on AWS without any changes – no conversion needed. Same VM format, configuration, drivers, settings etc.

VMware & virtual

workloads

Maintain your exact on-premises network settings including static IPs, VLANs, DHCP, DNS, multiple NICs, L2/L3 network appliances, multicast/broadcast …

advanced networking

encapsulation and isolation – blueprint entire environments and spin up copies (deployments) in one click. No scripting needed (e.g. AWS Cloud Formations)

automatic automation

on-premise virtual infrastructurebut it takes weeks to

provision new environments

change nothing – simply run you apps it in the cloud

supercharge your development process

reduce provisioning time from weeks to minutesagility

get as many environments as you need infinite capacity

spin up environments on demand without reliance on IT selfservice

environments can be exact replicas of production high fidelity

simple, usage based pricingcost effective

12

Ravello loves “API’s” – you can leverage Ravello’s…http://www.ravellosystems.com/developers/rest-api

Ravello develops on Ravello

We provide lots of

plugin’s


The power of blueprints…

15

how it works

upload your VMs (VMware or KVM)

Ravello auto-discovers the network. {Edit if needed}

deploy to AWS or Google Cloud

spin up as many isolated copies as you need

environment

278 Windows servers

F5 load balancers, Fortinet firewalls,

50+ subnets/VLANs, multiple domain

controllers

challenge

2-3 months to get a new environment

business units needed to expand fast to other geos

Needed 4-5 new environments

solution

uploaded 16TB of data to Ravello

defined app and networking once

spin up new environments in

20 minutes

“reduced our provisioning time from 2-3 months to less than 30 minutes.

an interesting use case …

Total resources needed 8 vCPU/ 16 GB RAM

includes AWS or GCE price

Varies based on complexity of application network and

performance needsExample: Each VM has 2vCPU

and 4 GB RAM
