Transcription

1 Cloud Computing & Sizing Servers CIO Café 24 Maart 2011 Ing. Johan De Gelas, Head of Server Research - johan@sizingservers.be

2 Sizing Servers Lab? Howest Onderzoeksgroep rond: Verbeteren performance server applicaties vapus stresstesting suite Verlagen stroomverbruik in de rack Optimaal gebruik maken van datacentrum (virtualisatie, Cloud Computing, private cloud )

3 Erkend door Vlaamse Overheid in 2007 Nu een team van 6 FTE Samenwerking met ELIT onderzoekers Dr. ir. Jan De Vos Dr. ir. Sofie Vanhoecke Samenwerking in Vlaanderen o.a.: VOKA Universiteit Gent PARIS group VITO

4

5 Partnerships w VMWare, Intel, AMD, Dell, Microsoft,...

6 AMD Six-core Opteron Launch : Sizing Servers Research als belangrijkste referentie!

7 Themadagen & Seminars

8 Cloud Computing?

9 Public Clouds: Why? No Capex (exceptions!) Pay only what you use Predictable payments Always latest version, no patching/updating Easy sharing with third parties IT can concentrate on core business Fast deployment

10 Typical Public Cloud apps Collaboration Hosted web applications Backup Customer relationship management (CRM) Industry-standard workflows No intellectual property and sensitive data

11

12 Public Clouds: Why not? Security? Performance: hard to guarantee. Case Studies: Creax MCS efms Costs not always lower Hard to bring back home (no standards) SLA: Enforcable?

13 Case Study 1: Public Cloud explored & benchmarked: Amazone EC2

14

15 Amazon Instances Standard Instances Small Instance 32-bit platform 1.7 GB of memory, 1 EC2 Compute Unit (1 virtual core with 1 EC2 Compute Unit) 160 GB of local instance storage, Large Instance 7.5 GB, 2 virtual cores, 850 GB, 64-bit Extra Large Instance 15 GB, 4 virtual cores, 1690 GB, 64-bit Micro Instances High-Memory Instances High-CPU Instances Cluster Compute Instances

16 Amazon Instance?

17 Large Instance: the hardware Typically an Intel Xeon E Intel Xeon E

18 Amazon EC2 Throughput (MCS efms Application)

19 Response Time (in seconds)

20 Costs 150 MB download at peak hours 32 MB Upload at peak hours +/- 300k hits per day 175 $/month per Windows VM 117 $/month per Linux VM Less than $10 for bandwidth Reservation costs = CAPEX!

21 Testimony: Creax & Amazone EC2

23 Discovering links between... COMPANIES TECHNOLOGI PEOPLE ES What are opportunities for Open What other products are like my Who are the domain expers?

24 Using the cloud... DATA 73 million patents (descibe the world around us) Updated twice per week Finding experts in your domain via LinkedIn Linking to scientific literature via Google Scholar SOFTWARE MySQL database (XtraDB, more than 2 billion rows) + Sphinx FullText indexes (2TB data) ASP.NET Frontend (Windows 2008, IIS7.5, Jquery, Flash) INFRASTRUCTURE Between 10 to 30 servers (depending on load) Linux & Ubuntu machines (micro to XXL instances) Amazon AWS components (EC2, S3, SQS, ELB, ElasticMail)

25 Case Study 2: Terremark

26

27 DEMO

28 Terremark pricing Completely CFR VMware layout You choose a type of OS (Linux 64, Windows i386, Novell Netware ) Complete freedom of virtual hardware layout: 1, 2, 4 or 8 vcpu 512 > MB Memory 1 -> 512GB disk Not possible to choose type of disk(-controller), type of network interface Starting prices: 320 per GHz/2GB memory / month -> You only pay for what is actually used, costs go down if more is used 100 / 5 public IP-addresses 100 for 1-4 Mbps bandwidth (95 th percentile) -> CPU & Memory Bursting is also possible

29 What you get Example: Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise - 8 Cores 2670MHz - Enhanced VMxnet2 - LSI Logic Parallel Adapter

30 Workload: Webserver IIS6 on Windows 2003 x86 with FastCGI (PHP) Oracle DB in same network (also in cloud) Real-world test: MCS Facility Management BUT, apparently it is better optimized: VMxnet3 is used LSI Logic SCSI Adapter

31 Terremark Windows 2003

32 Terremark Windows 2003

33 Conclusion Zeer eenvoudig te gebruiken Makkelijke link met eigen datacenter is er nog niet Performance is lager, vooral in pieksituaties Machine correct sizen is zeer belangrijk voor kosten

34 E-bo : Hybrid & secured Cloud architecture

35 Platform Overview

36 «Dynamic & intelligent secured distribution of any content»

37 The Future is all about DATA TRANSPARENCY, ON DEMAND INFORMATION & VISIBILITY in REAL TIME
