1 Capping Server Cost and Energy Use with Hybrid Cloud Computing Richard Gimarc Amy Spellmann Mark Preston CA Technologies Uptime Institute RS Performance Connecticut Computer Measurement Group Friday, June 3, 2011 Copyright 2011 CA, All rights reserved
2 Capping Server Cost and Energy Use with Hybrid Cloud Computing Questions: What happens if I grow my IT infrastructure into the Cloud? Can I control and/or limit cost by utilizing the Cloud? Will I still be able to provide satisfactory service? Can I use the Cloud to limit my energy footprint? How will the Cloud affect my budget? Cloud Provisioning? Scale Into Cloud Baseline Scale Out On-Premise Provisioning? Cut through the hype: View the Cloud as a new platform Quantify the cost of utilizing Cloud Energy - kwh Cost - CapEx & OpEx Performance - Response Time Utilize a repeatable, scientific methodology 1
3 Cloud Computing Promises Flexible, on-demand IT services Low entry cost (CapEx vs OpEx) Timely Scalable Greener Energy saving incentives, rebates, carbon penalties Elastic Extend capacity of a full data center Efficiency Follow the herd blindly into the Cloud? 2
4 Why Consider Cloud Computing? Today On-Premise Demand for IT services is increasing IT infrastructure needs to support business growth Many data centers at space & power limits Tomorrow Cloud Expand on-premise IT with on-demand resourcing Pay-as-you go vs. large up front investment Government & utility energy saving incentives, rebates, carbon penalties 3
5 Energy Consumption: Are Clouds Greener? Energy consumption in the data center is often not well understood [Koomey] Economies of scale enable Cloud providers to be more efficient Scalability & efficiency must be balanced to meet profit margins Energy usage can be reduced through free cooling and specialty hardware (e.g. Amazon, IBM, Google, Microsoft) Shifting computing from our data center to the Cloud: Reduces energy consumption in our data center (greener) Decreases overall energy consumption due Cloud s economies of scale 4
6 Cloud Considerations (1 of 2) Attribute Traditional On-Premise Cloud Computing Infrastructure Scalability Deployment Timeline Server upgrade (CapEx) Potential data center expansion (CapEx) Weeks to months Cloud resources (OpEx) Limits data center expansion (CapEx) On-demand in minutes/hours Infrastructure Physical and virtualized (Virtual) Cloud resources Management components Business Continuity Physical Resource Utilization Responsibility of on-premise IT staff Size to handle peak loads Low utilization during nonpeak time Partner with Cloud provider Scale dynamically with ondemand resources Eliminates the need to overbuild 5
7 Cloud Considerations (2 of 2) Attribute Traditional On-Premise Cloud Computing Network Infrastructure Performance Energy IT Budget Categories Data center IT staff responsible for networks and network expansion (CapEx) Response time depends on workload volumes & supporting infrastructure Driven by IT infrastructure & supporting facility Fixed limit on power draw CapEx for infrastructure OpEx for facility & energy Utilize Cloud network infrastructure (OpEx) Additional on-premise network may be required (CapEx) Dependent on responsiveness of the virtual resources Potential new network delay between on-premise and Cloud Energy consumption managed by the provider Limits on-premise energy growth Primarily OpEx for infrastructure 6
8 Cloud Consideration Set of Attributes Addressed in Case Study Infrastructure Scalability Physical Resource Utilization Network Infrastructure Performance Energy IT Budget Categories Not Addressed in Case Study Deployment Timeline Infrastructure Management Business Continuity Security Software Licensing Operations Staffing Facilities Cost Maintenance 7

29 Summary Capacity Planning Question Should we expand our on-premise infrastructure to handle the expected growth, or should we leverage the Cloud to support the increased workload volume? Energy Cost Cloud provides a way to cap our on-premise energy consumption Cloud requires a lower initial investment, but costs accumulate over time Performance Cloud may increase our business service response times 28
30 Summary Did we meet our data center energy challenges? Cloud enabled us to keep our on-premise energy requirements flat Workload growth routed to the cloud Dynamic provisioning enabled us to more closely match infrastructure & demand for energy kwh Instance Count On-Premise vs. Std Large Cloud On-Premise EFP per Hour Hour On-Premise Scenario Std Large Cloud Scenario EC2 Standard Instance Requirements Hour Std Small Std Large Std XLarge 29
31 Summary Did we meet our performance requirements? Hybrid models can suffer an increase in response time due to the Cloud instance interactions with the on-premise servers There are two factors that affect response time: speed of the Cloud instances and additional network latency Response Time (msec) Modeled Average Response Time Hour On-Premise Std Large Network latency can have a significant affect on client response time 30
32 Summary Did we meet our data center budget requirements? Growing into the Cloud requires less up-front (CapEx) investment Cloud recurring cost can end up exceeding traditional data center cost Estimated OpEx per month $3,098 - On-Premise $6,589 - Cloud $180,000 $160,000 $140,000 $120,000 $100,000 $80,000 $60,000 $40,000 $20,000 $- On-Premise vs. Std Large Cloud Total Cumulative Cost Comparison Month On-Premise Std Large+Data Xfer 31
33 Summary Capacity Planning Question Should we expand our on-premise infrastructure to handle the expected growth, or should we leverage the Cloud to support the increased workload volume? Grow into the Cloud But Utilize the on-demand Cloud to handle the expected 2x workload growth On-Premise energy usage will be effectively capped Defers need for data center expansion Eliminates CapEx for required On-Premise infrastructure Cloud monthly expenses (OpEx) are larger than On-Premise: $6,589 vs. $3,098 Cumulative cost of Cloud may overtake on-premise solution Cloud causes increase in average transaction response time Capacity plan developed for 12-month a planning horizon 32
34 Recommendations A Formal Methodology is Required Focus your analysis on the Cloud provider s pricing model(s) Evaluate data transfer cost & any other miscellaneous costs carefully Don t ignore performance Cloud response times must meet business requirements Manage your energy footprint by leveraging the Cloud Utilizing Cloud resources effectively caps your on-premise energy cost & consumption Data center power efficiency can be managed with the Cloud Balance CapEx & OpEx based on your business requirements Cloud allows you to shift large upfront infrastructure investments into predictable recurring monthly costs 33
