Looming server failure / datacenter disaster adds a thrill to the job

1 QUIZ: 5 Reasons NOT to consider Cloud Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) Higher administrative requirements = job security Our company/organization has far too much $$$ Empty datacenters feel lonely Who really gives a hoot about the environment anyway? Looming server failure / datacenter disaster adds a thrill to the job

2 INX Demystifying Cloud Computing Infrastructure as a Service Presented by Mike Calderon, INX Cloud & Virtualization Specialist michael.calderon@inxi.com

3 Cloud Computing, What it is and is NOT Cloud computing is a service model for enabling; on-demand network access to a shared pool of on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction It is NOT necessarily outsource IT

4 Cloud Iaas What It Does: : Improve Operational Efficiencies The Efficiency of Cloud Computing An Elastic IT Infrastructure Appl, Information and People Centric I am supposed to still do the same job, but with less budget and headcount?!? Operation Efficiency Improvements Include Before : Workloads Per Administrator After : Workloads Per Administrator

5 Cloud Evolution The Grid Compute Model - solving large compute problems with parallel processing Mainframe Utility Computing Offering compute resources as a metered services ISPs Software and Platform as a Service Network based subscription to software & application Single App or Service Cloud Computing Anywhere, anytime access to Virtual Resources delivered as a metered services Foundation for Internal and External Clouds Today Abstraction > Simplification -> Capability Aggregation

6 What are the Key Attribute of Clouds Abstraction, Elasticity, Always On & Pay as You Grow Abstraction: applications from server hardware users from a specific workstation, Networks from specific wires & Data from pre-allocated disk Elasticity: The ability to rapidly to grow or shrink, move and the IT Infrastructure Always On: Enhanced local and remote recoverability built like a submarine that can sustain outages with no downtime Pay as You Grow: Add capacity and Capability without re-wiring or retraining and provision only what is needed when it s needed

7 Today s Cloud Offerings A Cloud Infrastructure can be in or out of the firewall and comes in 3 Flavors 1. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) All Internal, INX s VHS & VRS, TerraMark, Hosting.com, Rackspace, AT&T Savvis 2. Software as a Service SalesForce.com, Expedia, Google, Microsoft (CRM, Exchange, SQL), Amazon 3. Platform/Dev as a Services Azure, EnginYard, Amazon EC2, GigaSpace, Blue Gecko, CohesiveFT

8 Cloud IaaS Benefits for Any Organization Business The Efficiency of Cloud Computing Fast provisioning response times improved productivity Contractual and auditable SLAs Usage base pay-as-you-go financial model 50% reduction in OpEx Cost 60% reduction in CapEx Cost IT Economies of shared infrastructure High performance, highly available Policy-driven automation An Elastic IT Infrastructure Appl, Information and People Centric Lower Cost Saves Energy Quickly add capacity & capability w/o adding hdw Improved recoverability for local and site outages Compatible with any existing or future application Choice of underlying physical infrastructure Future proof no lock in to specific architectures

9 Characteristics & Issues & for Cloud Computing VMware vsphere - The Best Choice for your Business Efficiency Control Choice View in slideshow to cut capital & operational costs by up to 50% for all applications while automating & guaranteeing quality of service for flexibility in SW stack, HW, & service providers Primary Issues Federation & Compatibility Lack of Compatibility between Clouds Inability VMware to unique move application technologies to/from like DRS, Cloud DPM, FT, chargeback, Inadequate AppSpeed, VMware s vservices VMsafe, Securityhost and profiles, vcenter Storage capabilities vmotion, lead to others better allow OpExIT to deliver on SLAs while controlling costs It s a delicate balance between the security of a dedicated facility and the economies of a shared facility

10 Hybrid Cloud Computing Architecture Internal Cloud (IssA) -Large Server Farm - Fully Redundant Enterprise SAN - Replication and De-duplication - Backups to Secondary Disk Arrays Physical Servers backed up to virtual machines using PlateSpin nightly Virtual machines backed up nightly using esxpress External IaaS Cloud (Virtual Recovery Service) -Large Multi-tenant/Shared Server & Storage Infrastructure -Multiple Carrier Fibre WAN Connections - Uninterruptable Power and Cooling - 24x7 System Monitoring and Management Replicated virtual machines are automatically restored to the DR ESX clusters esxpress Physical Server Physical Server ESX Server ESX Server ESX Server ESX Server esxpress ESX Server ESX Server ESX Server FC Switch FC Switch Data decuplication & replication MPLS Internet Or Private Link Data decuplication & replication FC Switch FC Switch LUN 1 LUN 2 LUN 3 LUN 1 LUN 2 LUN 3 Images of virtual servers are compressed and replicated from production to VRS site

11 What Does it Take to Move a Cloud/Virtualization Project Forward?? A PLAN & MESSAGE It Takes a PLAN with a Simple Set of Primary Goals Reduce Cost Go Green Improve IT Provisioning & Management Efficiency Enhance Local Failover and Create Real DR You need to Message the PLAN to IT Teams and Stake Holders Management Explain What it Does, NOT What it is to Management Coordinate server-desktop-network-storage efforts Clearly Outline What it Cost and the Return Leverage Experienced Teams for the Holistic Approach for the assess, design, plan and build

12 Common Benefits for an Infrastructure as a Service Effort Go Green by Reducing Server Room Heat & Cooling Requirements Improve Business Continuance and Disaster Recovery Functionality Reduce Opex/CapEx Cost 50% reduction in Opex and 40% improvement in FTE workload Prepare IT Infrastructure for Virtual Desktops Centrally Managed Desktops Improving Security, lowering Cost with cost avoidance for desktop upgrades Enhance IT Provisioning and Support Resources Doing More with Less

13 Infrastructure as a Service is a Journey not a Destination & Virtualization is the Key Building Block IT Elements to Consider : Servers, Desktops, Storage & Networking

14 Roadmap to Infrastructure as a Service Success Assess the physical environment ROI/Internal Selling The project as Enterprise Endeavor Plan Pilot/Train Managed roll-out Social Engineering (VDI Only)

15 Cloud Computer Summary Cloud is a service & operations model, not a specific technology built on abstraction (aka virtualization) Virtualization of the Entire Infrastructure (servers, desktops, storage & networks) are the core building blocks of any cloud Clouds can be internal, external or both It Take a plan & Message to deploy Infrastructure as a Service

16 VHS/VRS Cloud Overview Questions??? Stop by the Booth for Free Seat in the Cloud Compute Class

17 What is Virtualization Abstraction What is Virtualization? Application Operating System Virtualization

18 The Dynamic Data Center The Dynamic Data Center Exchange CRM File/Print APP APP APP APP APP APP OS APP OS OS APP OS OS APP OS OS OS OS Virtual Infrastructure CPU Pool Memory Pool Storage Pool Interconnect Pool

19 Key Characteristics & Ingredients for Cloud Computing Requires migrating infrastructure to a hardware abstracted and virtualized shared infrastructure Management interface for subscriber services need to be a Self Automated Portal Must be Scalable w/o adding new infrastructure and retraining personnel Rich application containment will ensure that objects have network affinity - zone together for common services Support of Multi Tenancy Chargeback or Lookback capabilities

20 VHS/VRS Cloud Overview Two INX Case Studies

21 The Company IT Situation 46 servers 21 virtualized No SAN or NAS Server Room at HQ offices Many outages due to power and network Ecommerce and Business Intelligence located at colo Their colo recently had an 8 hour outage Only 4 IT staff + occasional outside contractors CAPEX - server & network refresh plus SAN Need a Tier 4 colo Expecting to double annual revenue over 24 months Growth thru new products and acquisitions
