Architecting VMware DR Solutions for Ransomware and Disaster Recovery [CEIT2584LV]
This tutorial provides guidance for using VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery features, VMware Ransomware Recovery, VMware Site Recovery Manager, and VMware Site Recovery to enable rapid and reliable recovery from ransomware and other types of data center disasters. We also cover the unique requirements and characteristics of ransomware recovery and how to extend your DR solution to deal with this specific disaster scenario to enable rapid and reliable recovery.
45 Minutes of NUMA – A CPU Is Not a CPU Anymore [CODEB2761LV]
Recently, both AMD and Intel made their flagship server CPUs available: the AMD EPYC and the fourth generation of the Intel Xeon Scalable processor. Both follow a similar paradigm of the multi-chip, multi-tile module design, impacting kernel scheduling and workload sizing to work around the application expectation of a CPU subsystem.
Besides the traditional deep dive of NUMA scheduling, we discuss the new VMware vSphere 8 functionality that solves the age-old question, “How many cores per socket?” We show real-life data on NUMA locality’s importance for an ML/HPC application that runs on GPUs. And we look at the latest CPU architecture developments, such as Sapphire Rapids’ new onboard accelerators, which can help guide your data center hardware refresh. Enjoy this session as we dive into this exciting and critically important space.
