Implementation of remote offices, VMware ESXi

Hi people, I hate you bug with what he could have been asnwered before, but I couldn't find an asnwer very clear here. Any help/advice is much apprecaited. So, here's the deal:

We plan blown full virtualization (Server + VDI) to our datacenter and 3 remote sites. Data Center (HQ) and 1 remote office are located in Europe, 1 in North America and 1 Office in Hong Kong. All remote sites are with about 5 to 10 local non computer users. HQ has about 90 users and staff. Clearly, we want to put everything in place so that it can be managed on the Wan. We will make IPsec VPN site-to-site with each remote site through Cisco ASA and ISR routers/appliences.

In HQ, we implement the Server Blade HP (chasis c7000) of several ProLiant G7 and EMC Clariion CX4 storage.

For remote offices, we plan to have a local server (2 CPUs) and local storage. Internet connections are good DSL, but nothing complicated. On the road, we could look at MPLS in the light of the video and voice conference, but for now it's off the table. Because we want to deploy VDI in remote offices, we want to have clones the on local servers so that they are independent of WAN. We run a file sharin, DC, print server in terms of orders OS Server mainly.

1. How is back-up to be managed from remote desktop to virtual offices at Headquarters? You can just save changes/deltas or is it always?

2. what type of products VMware, we need in remote offices? VSphere Standard would do for everything what we need (remote management, backup remote VM etc.)?

3. is it possible to have remote users forwarded to use their VD through the WAN of local server failure? Software that manages this part?

4 any other recomendatiosn or best tips in our case here?

Thanks again for any advice you have as we are very pleased to start this, but sure looks like a lot of work... and a few uncertainties.

Jim

Hello

1. How do you distribute patches and OS updates to the remote VDs via WAN?

You can use AUVS to install packages in the comments. In this way, everything is done on the spot.

2. with a ThinApp structure in a VDI infrastructure how do you deliver applications, their patches to remote desktop (stream or MSI or?)? You have to have ThinApp servers etc. at the remote office or what is really the best way to handle this?

ThinApp is a bit different and has their servers for the deployment of ThinApps. I think you should transfer as you ThinApps the patch... You can ask this question in the forums ThinApp.

3. does anyone know a really good guide to set up an "office in a box" and it deployment?

I have unfortunately seen documents for internal use. However, ones I've seen are usually at least 1 usually 2 boxes 2U with necessary storage locally or on a NAS with at least Gigabit switch. Usually, I suggest at least 2 boxes depending on the load. Ideally something easy to carry and move... If there was a 2 or 4 blade blade chassis, which would be the ideal...

All licenses is managed at the Headquarters Office "in a box" being shipped to the remote desktop that is almost ready to go. A few tweaks remote and viola, you have the office. Don't forget to leave you an administrative VM on a VPN tunnel to your desktop to the remote location.

Worst case scenario involves some generic desktop computers at HQ for all applications that do not need local data.

4. licenses for virtual desktops (VMware View) must be purchased by the local office, or by given headquarters he is managed by vCenter HQ and the fact that it is on another continent?

It's really up to you. But if it was me I would centralize management and "Chargeback" with the Agency.

  • Best practices in VMWare ESXi 3.5 installation and deployment of VMDK u3?

    Hi all

    I'm about to implement virtualization on my business technology

    I've got these resources to be used by VMWare ESXi 3.5

    Dell PowerEDGE 2950 III

    • 32 GB DDR - II 667 MHz

    • internal 4 x 500 GB SATA 7200 RPM HDD (RAID 5) - I know that it's slow to host the VMDK

    • Internal USB slot on the motherboard (but not USB flashdisk?)

    Dell PowerVault MD3000

    • 10 x 300 GB SAS 15 k RPM

    • 2 x Dual port Gigabit Ethernet NIC (x 4 in total)

    • iSCSI - 2 x Gigabit Ethernet for the switch (mute not to VLAN)

    I wonder where I should install the VMWare ESXi? for the VMDK, I believe that the deployment in the SAN is the right place.

    and any suggestion for the use of the SATA HARD drive internal?

    any comments would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.

    You mean Deployment.jpg diagram?

    In this case, there is an error.

    You need a network 2, not 4.

    Each controller and each NIC (on ESX) must have an IP in a net and another IP in the second NET.

    ESX guests 4 targets, 2 in a net, 2 in the other.

  • VI on a BladeCenter S for remote offices

    Hi everyone, it's a matter of design because I don't know much about BladCenter S.

    After reading this article, I become curious of this technology (http://it20.info/blogs/main/archive/2008/11/14/162.aspx) because it really can solve some problems, especially in remote offices.

    My questions are:

    (1) is the redundant eth switch? Article that I linked above, it seems that it is but to read the IBM documentation looks that all EPF blades are related to bay1 only, so only one switch eth (which would make not much sense);

    (2) is the internal memory, support for vmware? Could not find information on that, nor what hw config is required to share LUNS with blades;

    (3) is it possible to have 4 network adapters and interfaces 2 sas (from FC interfaces for it matters) without developing the blade server? I can't expand the blade increases the number of cards you can add but then each blade will take twice as much to place in the chassis, which is not good in a small bladecenter as the S

    I suppose to use HS21 XM blades just like I would on another chassis. Ibm documentation I found here (http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg247523.html) and here (http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg247682.html?Open) was very detailed, but confused about what I mentioned in my questions.

    Yes, ETH that a switch can be used, but then you get only half of the network connections.  Each blade is divided between the i/o modules, so if you have expansion for the blades ethernet card, and only have 1 switch, and then you get only half of the available network adapters.

    The IBM SAS HBA card is in the HCL: http://www.vmware.com/resources/compatibility/search.php?action=search&deviceCategory=io&productId=1&keyBasic=ibm+sas+&maxDisplayRows=50&key=ibm+sas+expansion&release%5B%5D=-1&datePosted=-1&vid=&did=&svid=&ssid=

    And Yes, I believe the extension ethernet 2 ports and the sas of maps extension and in a format that can fit into the PCI - X slots without the blade who need to take two slots, according to the guide.  I'm sure your IBM representative can go over this with you as well.

  • Version numbers of VMware ESXi, ESX, (confusion)

    Hello

    I have a case of support for Adaptec about the inability to manage my RAID array (on a map of Adaptec RAID 3405 controller) go in VMware ESXi 3.5. That's what they told me 'Nucleus OSin fact currently VMWARE ESX - i is not supported. Sorry, I should have mentioned this in my previous answer, I was not aware that there is a difference in the standard implementation of VMWARE ESX 3.5'.»

    Is there a VMware ESX 3.5 as a VMware ESXi 3.5 aswell? What is the difference? I thought VMware ESX ended with version 3.0, replaced by VMware ESXi 3.5 and later versions?

    If I look at the operating systems supported for the Adaptec RAID 3405 controller I find "VMware ESX Server 3.5"...

    ESXi and replace DO NOT ESX.  The reason why I gave you the comparison is because you can see what each call to savings.

    ESXi, is short, ESX less the service console.  Both are Virtualization platforms.

  • Connection of remote offices SPA3102

    My boss just bought two SPA3102 VoIP routers in an attempt to set up a VoIP connection to a remote office, thus avoiding expensive international calls.  I'm looking for advice on setting up.

    This is the ideal configuration, we're after.  Box, it is in the seat, and it is connected via the RTC port on a phone line (in fact the PBX).  His IP address is 192.168.32.8 (we are without using the routing of each box function, then the two boxes are connected to the network via the WAN port, with the side LAN not used at all).  Any incoming call on the telephone line must be connected directly on the phone connected to the box of two.  There is no phone connected to the box one.

    Box 2 is in remote desktop. For testing purposes, its IP address is currently 192.168.32.9.  He got a telephone connected to the telephone port, and the PSTN port is connected to a standard telephone line.  We want the phone to use the RTC line by default, but if the user dials 9 then, we wish the appeal directed to the PSTN line on box a (i.e. PBX.), where it can dial into a PBX it seeks.

    The offices are connected by a virtual private network, so there is no NAT anywhere to worry.

    I have a problem in this place, what with the instruction light manual and confusing options, so any help much appreciated!

    Here are the settings I've worked. I have omitted some.

    I have a problem on the left: calls to the phone remotely (both by the PBX and telephone line remote) are very quiet.  I played with the settings of Gain PSTN SPA to compensate, but I set the remote zone to its maximum of 12 and it is still too quiet, so I think that there is a problem elsewhere.

    That I improve a R710 and two v5.5 (Dell image) to v5.5 U2 ESXi ESXi R720 using the image of Dell here:

    www.dell.com/.../DriversDetails

    The documentation "Upgrade Guide to ESXi 5.5 using Dell customized Image" here:

    www.Dell.com/.../manuals

    indicates that a specific version of the megaraid_sas driver must be installed.

    Is the version megaraid_sas that installs with the image of Dell U2 v5.5 not the right version?

    I just ran the upgrade on a R710 and it's the megaraid_sas version installed:

    Thank you.

    Hello

    It lists the R720 and R710 systems supported and both link to the same page, so the customized version is the same for both servers. Is the version listed in the reference guide for A02

  • BB10 Simulator on Vmware ESXi

    I'm trying to get the BB10 Simulator to work on a VMWare ESXi server. Here's what I've done so far:

    1. Installed the Simulator on yhe development machine, started VMWare workstation, open the vmx file and downloaded the VM on the ESXi server.
    2. Disabled 3D acceleration on the machine virtual (on ESX) and selected 'Full touch safe mode' after starting the virtual machine.

    At this point, the virtual computer screen displays the IP 'telnet ftp ssh qconn', the axis of the device and the build number.

    The next step is to connect the Momentics IDE to this virtual machine.

    The Simulator is in need of a vmx file configuration dialog box (likely to run vmware specific commands). In the configuration of ESXi, there is no vmx file.

    If I try to connect to the virtual machine by IP address, I need a device password, I did not.
