2 State of the infrastructure team Availability Storage & Hosts SNW Spring 2011: Building Private Cloud Architectures 2

3 What does it mean for you? The usual responses Everyone works harder De prioritize some projects Everything is ROI based But, these are not enough, not sustainable Fundamental Architectural Changes Are Needed SNW Spring 2011: Building Private Cloud Architectures 3

4 Is Private Cloud The Answer? What does private cloud mean to me? What about my existing infrastructure? SNW Spring 2011: Building Private Cloud Architectures 4

5 The Real Question SNW Spring 2011: Building Private Cloud Architectures 5

6 A Suggested Approach Realize thattransformation transformation is a step by step process Decide the cloud elements you need Build them in SNW Spring 2011: Building Private Cloud Architectures 6

7 End to End Storage Visibility Is A Must, Not A Luxury SNW Spring 2011: Building Private Cloud Architectures 7

8 Lack of Visibility Kills Productivity It takes me 3 4 weeks to run a full utilization report Every lication is a silo Provisioning storage is painful. I typically give more storage than I am asked for to keep them off my back SNW Spring 2011: Building Private Cloud Architectures 8

9 True Visibility: Application to Spindle Un provisioned Increase storage utilization by 30%+ Physical Overhead Un claimed Un consumed Stop buying storage for more than one year Reduce CAPEX and OPEX dedicated to managing storage growth Logical Claimed Over provisioned Consumed Misused Host Usage App Usage Effectively Utilized Storage Team Server Team DB / App Admins End Users SNW Spring 2011: Building Private Cloud Architectures 9

10 Get Back In Control No place for storage to hide: Reclaim unused storage No more provisioning games: Intelligent chargeback SNW Spring 2011: Building Private Cloud Architectures 10

11 Consume Storage As A Service SNW Spring 2011: Building Private Cloud Architectures 11

12 Control Your Storage Costs The Problems High Storage Costs Wasted Storage Physical Logical Claimed Consum ed Host Usage App Usage Spend Less on Storage Optimize What You Have X Eliminate Vendor Lock in Improve p Visibility Tier Storage Assets Go Thin and Stay Thin SNW Spring 2011: Building Private Cloud Architectures 12

13 Example: Financial Benefits of Thin Provisioning 510 Hardware based Thin Provisioning Eliminate wasted storage Wasted Storage Application Data Getting Thin & Staying Thin with Thin Reclamation Traditional "Thick" Environment Thin Environment Thin with Automated Reclamation Source: Symantec / Enterprise Strategy Group, 2010 SNW Spring 2011: Building Private Cloud Architectures 13

14 Beyond Just Utilization: Storage Service Provider An intelligent, self managed architecture The right roach to Storage Stop wasting storage and start using data defines your storage architecture A LUN becomes an access pipe to a shared pool of Thin provisioned storage Care about storage service levels, not RAID levels Storage service templates: Automated, On Demand Allocation Focus on information type, not media type Get proactive, built in, in, content / owner / author aware classification. E.g. Security is not scanning. SNW Spring 2011: Building Private Cloud Architectures 14

15 Uptime, All The Time, Without Wasting Your Time SNW Spring 2011: Building Private Cloud Architectures 15

16 Do You Really Want To Risk Your Reputation? Increased Expectations = Less Downtime Not Just $$ It s Your Reputation Scheduled Unscheduled Downtime Downtime SNW Spring 2011: Building Private Cloud Architectures 16

17 Don t take Scheduled Downtime for granted Test Without Downtime Detect Problems Before Testing Primary Site Secondary Site 1 Scan Production DR Configuration Data Vulnerability Signatures 2 Analyze Replication 3 Report Schedule & run non disruptive HA/DR tests Schedule & run non disruptive agentless scanning of entire data center environment SNW Spring 2011: Building Private Cloud Architectures 17

18 Get recovery time down to a minute or less For Applications that Need Maximum Uptime Cluster File System: Failover as Fast as Application Restart Client Cluster Server Cluster Server Veritas Storage Veritas Storage Cluster File System Foundation Foundation Failed Active Server Server Recovery Steps Detect failure Un mount file system Deport disk group Import disk group Mount file system Start lication Clients reconnect SNW Spring 2011: Building Private Cloud Architectures 18

19 Virtualization: Conquer The Last Mile SNW Spring 2011: Building Private Cloud Architectures 19

20 The Last Mile: Virtualizing Business Critical Applications ption Virtualization ado tier3 tier2 tier1 IIS Apache Print WebLogic WebSphere File SQL, Oracle SAP Exchange Criticality of lications Virtualization widely adopted for non critical lications Increased pressure to continue virtualizing Business critical lications are infrequently virtualized SNW Spring 2011: Building Private Cloud Architectures 20

21 Why is the last mile so tough? Key challenges in managing virtualized servers Ensuring Application Availability (% of respondents) 51% Customers have issues with s failing inside the guest The market is lacking a solution Joint Symantec VMware partner Managing unanticipated cost increases Coordinating new deployments and upgrades 42% 41% Today s Solutions are Not Enough d l t d d Protection for physical, not lication failures 32% Workarounds eliminate vmotion and DRS Compensating for the lack of integrated management tools Overcoming existing allocation, purchasing and budget practices 29% Do nothing no longer is an option Source: IDC, October Choosing Storage for Virtualized Servers.

24 Reality Check: Applications Will Span Physical & Virtual VM Physical VM VM VM Physical VM VM VM Physical VM VM Increased Operating System Heterogeneity Continuing movement towards virtualization More lications being moved to Virtual Machines Application being stretched across different tiers Increased complexity more layers to manage, more tools to master VM Hypervisor Physical VM Hypervisor VM VM Hypervisor Physical VM Hypervisor VM VM Hypervisor Physical VM Hypervisor Physical Physical Physical Physical Physical Physical VM LDOM SNW Spring 2011: Building Private Cloud Architectures 24
