3. What is the VVD AKA The Validated Design
Architectures and designs created and validated by VMware experts
Encompass the entire set of VMware software-defined data center (SDDC) products
Standardized and streamlined design SDDC Clouds

4. Why would I want to go VVD
Continuously Validated
Every new build of any component of the design drops into an automated deployment of the design – so that nothing breaks!

6. IS VVD Right for me
Not able to stand-up new infrastructure and applications quickly enough
Need for Faster deployment of your data center:
Current IT organizations operate in silos.
IT services and processes are still grounded in IT
