It's my pleasure the share with the community the custom stencils that are used to create the diagrams that you see in the VMware Validated Designs.

Procedure:

1. Download and extract the attached archive.


2. Save the stencil files to C:\Users\<Username>\Documents\My Shapes. Microsoft Visio will recognize all stencil files in the My Shapes folder.
   
   
   1. Template: sddc-template.vdsx
   
   
   2. Product and Feature Icons:  sddc-icons.vssx
   
   
   3. Colors and Boxes: sddc-shape-text.vssx
   
   


3. Open the template file in Microsoft Visio.


4. Load the stencils.
   
   
   1. In the Shapes panes, clicl More Shapes and select Open Stencil.
   
   
   2. In the Open Stencil dialog box, select the both stencil files, and then select Open.
   
   

Result:

You can now drag and drop the required stencil to your sheet.

Dos and Don'ts:

• Do use the Arial Regular font.


• Do create the text blocks first to determine if a design can fit in the maximum width when a graphic may contains a lot of text


• Do not use a type size smaller than 11  points.


• Do not scale the icons and shapes. They will appear different than all other graphics in the documentation.


• Do not use different paper format. It may cause problem with the graphic appearance.

NOTE:

All official diagrams for the VMware Validated Design are provided in the product documentation found at vmware.com/go/vvd-docs.

VMware Validated Design

VMware Validated Design is a family of solutions for data center designs that span compute, storage, networking, and management, serving as a blueprint for your Software-Defined Data Center (SDDC) implementation.

VMware Validated Design for Software-Defined Data Center

VMware provides three implementations of VMware Validated Design for Software-Defined Data Center.

• The standard implementation of VMware Validated Design for Software-Defined Data Center provides single or dual region data center architecture for an organization’s primary data centers. You can use this implementation a base for additional implementations such as VMware Validated Design for Remote Office and Branch Office (ROBO).



• The ROBO implementation extends the standard implementation to include remote locations that require fewer resources. This implementation is suitable for deployments that are spread out geographically but that you want to manage more centrally. You must have the VMware Validated Design for Software-Defined Data Center primary data centers in place before working with the ROBO implementation.



• The Consolidated SDDC implementation is an alternative to a single-region VMware Validated Design for Software-Defined Data Center configuration where you use one consolidated pod to run both management and tenant workloads. This implementation is suitable for configurations with lower startup cost and hardware footprint.
