Challenges for VM migrating to cloud
• Convert the VM to proprietary format
• Manually change the configuration
• Different to clone environments

Ravello is an overlay cloud that lets enterprises run their VMware workloads on
various public clouds – without converting & migrating virtual machines.
Agility: Greater agility with
blueprinting for rapid
deployments & collaboration
Cost Reduction: Up to 60%
cost reduction with hourly
usage-based pricing
Lift & Shift: Freedom to run
existing VMware apps on
leading public clouds
Ravello: Overlay Cloud

Ravello: Why Overlay Cloud???
Oracle Confidential – Restricted 14
> 50% of the DC workloads
are VMware based.
VMware VMs don’t run on
public cloud natively –
they do on Ravello
VMware virtual appliances
differ from cloud
equivalents
VMware virtual appliances
are unavailable on public
cloud – they are on Ravello
Layer 2 networking crucial
for many apps to function
L2 networking is
unsupported on public
cloud – it is on Ravello
Native AWS, Azure & Google IaaS offerings are not VMware-compatible and do not
provide workloads portability across Public Clouds and Data Centers.

• Saves License and Support Cost associated with VMWare’s
Hypervisor (ESX) and Management Tools (VSphere)
• Significantly reduces the consulting services cost associated with
migrating many Virtual Machines from on-premises to the Cloud
• Significantly reduces the cost of re-testing application workloads on
VMWare and KVM when migrating them from on-premises to the
Cloud
• Makes migration faster, allows to shutdown Data Centers faster.
• Uses lower cost and higher quality Infrastructure-as-a-Service
• Savings in Data Center OpEx costs

• Runs VMs exported from VMware / KVM private cloud setup without any change
including network/security appliances (F5 Big IP, Check Point, Fortinet, …)
• Runs any VMware VM in any public cloud / region

Software Defined Network - Full L2 Overlay

• Complete control of any L2 and L3 network
configuration
• No dependency on underlying cloud
• Private static IPs, multiple subnets
• Multiple NICs per VM
• Multiple public IPs per NIC / VM
• Console access
• Control of switch settings
• VLANs
• Trunk / access ports
• Promiscuous / mirror ports
• DNS, DHCP services
• Public IPs, Elastic IPs

Steps to move this app to cloud
1 Upload the four VMware VMs to Ravello
2 ’Drag & drop’ VMs into a Ravello
‘application’
3 Setup networking on Ravello to mirror

On-Premise Virtualized Workloads
Compute Cloud
• Set up Dev/Test Environments
• Allows customers to create development
and test environments on a Public Cloud
using VMWare
• Allows customers to maintain
compatibility with their on-premises
production VMWare stack
• On-Premises Workloads Migration
• Allows customers to migrate the
Application Workload to the Public Cloud
without any changes
• Allows customers to eliminate VMware’s
Hypervisor (ESX) and Management Tools
Ravello: Use Cases

Solution ResultChallenge
One of world’s largest online entertainment and solution providers, 888 has a massive VMware
based application environment, with 250+ Windows VMs, multiple domain controllers, Fortinet
firewalls, F5 load balancers with multiple subnets and VLANs.
Oracle Confidential – Internal 66
When 888 needed to
expand to international
markets they needed test
environments identical to
production -for regulators.
Each environment took
them three months to
stand up, & slowed down
their business.
Tried migrating to AWS for
more agility but failed –
mainly due to networking
complexity
888 Holdings
 Faster availability of the
environment – time
reduced from 3 months
to 20 minutes
 Parallel environments on
demand for
development, test and
regulatory needs
 Substantial cost savings
due to on-demand usage
 Ability to use capacity
from any public cloud to
run VMware
environment
888 uploaded their
VMware VMs to Ravello
and deployed their
application as is (including
complex networking).
Now every time a regulator
needs a test environment
they can spin one up in any
geography in 20 minutes.

Solution ResultChallenge
The world’s leading open source software provider, Red Hat maintained a physical data center for
delivering partner and end-user training.
Oracle Confidential – Internal 67
Red Hat always ran out of
training capacity during
new product
announcements and
rollouts.
Because they didn’t have a
global footprint, it meant a
poor end-user experience
for partners in international
geographies.
The result of this was many
untrained, or poorly
trained, partners, which in
turn resulted in lost
revenue.
Red Hat
 Achieved infinite
elasticity to meet
demand during training
peaks
 Deployed workloads all
around the world
improving end user
experience
 Substantial cost savings
considering a 3 year TCO
 Ability to train more
partners faster on new
product releases
The Red Hat GPE team
creates complex
environments in Ravello
once, and then saves a
blueprint. Now every
channel partner can spin up
an environment anywhere
in the world with the click
of a button. This is used for
channel partner training as
well as customer demos

Key Takeaways – Oracle Ravello
• Lift & Shift the VM to cloud easily
• Software Defined Network - Full L2 Overlay
• Easily clone the application with blue print
