4 Introduction to IBM SmartCloud Enterprise+ ibm.com/smartcloud/services/enterpriseplus IBM SmartCloud Enterprise+ Management, support and deployment Security and isolation Availability and performance Technology platform Payment and billing Enterprise+ B Enterprise+ A B Dedicated cloud Shared cloud services SCE+ is a robust, production-ready cloud environment providing fully managed infrastructure as a service (IaaS) Designed for versatility, with a variety of usage scenarios. Built on reliable hardware following a resilient design to ensure enterprise-class performance and availability Flexible configuration options for both Power and x86 running the operating systems AIX, Windows and Linux and storage Multiple security and isolation options built into the virtual infrastructure and network to keep tenants separate from each other Single centralized management with cloud-based IT infrastructure library (ITIL) processes (change, configuration and asset management) Globally deployed across multiple data-centers with a shared management environment and shared or dedicated managed environments 4

5 Usage Scenarios for IBM Smart Cloud Enterprise+ Managed development and test Data center transformation Develop and test applications and then move them into production all on the same platform Maintain security levels and increase speed to market with a consistent, fully managed operating environment Leverage fully managed Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) globally to standardize and optimize infrastructure, save money and facilitate collaboration and innovation Managed web hosting/apps/social As a component of an Industry play Manage client-facing web site, company intranet, web applications or web social applications Enable applications and manage them scaling to meet increases in traffic Provide a robust foundation for transformational plays for an industry-specific solution like SmartCloud Service Delivery for Electronics or to deliver a company solution to end user customers Production workloads Run SAP and Oracle Applications on a security-rich cloud infrastructure enhanced with IBM deep expertise, processes and tools 5

6 SCE+ is deployed in data centers around the world North America Europe, Middle East and Africa Asia Pacific Latin America India Local point of delivery 6 North America: Raleigh, N.C., and Boulder, Colo., USA; Markham, Canada South America: Hortolandia, Sao Paulo, Brazil Europe: Ehningen, Germany; Montpellier, France; Winterthur, Switzerland; Barcelona, Spain Asia Pacific: Sydney, Australia; Makuhari, Japan

7 SCE+ Deployment Topology SCE+ Portal Single centralized managing system in Ehningen (DE) For SCE+ Portal, SCE+ IaaS API, Service Catalog and offerings, service management functions like change, asset and config management manages multiple, local sites Service Orchestration Local sites contain tools used to manage resources across multiple PoDs for provisioning, patching, service activation & deactivation Points of delivery (PoDs) at a given site can be shared or dedicated, local or remote contains managed resources (server, storage, network) managing tools for HW management, backup and monitoring, etc. Upto 6 PoDs per site SCE+ IaaS API Central Cloud Management Service Management Service Catalog Change Management Asset Management Config Management Incident Management Metering and Chargeback Site A Management Provisioning Patch Management Security Compliance Identity Management Event Management Asset Management Config Management SAnD PoD1 Standard processes Account Management Onboarding Entitlement Billing Reports SLA Management Site B Management...

9 SCE+ Service Orchestration and Provisioning Service Orchestration is done on the central site, by combining the services provided by the local sites into composite services. Single portal service requests trigger within the associated change multiple service requests in the local site to provide the requested service Service requests created within the local site fulfill a specific provisioning use case Central Cloud Management Service Management Service Request Change Request Workflow SCE+ API SCE+ Portal Inbox Assigment CI CMDB Asset Asset DB REST REST API Local site Service Automation and Provisioning Service Request Workflow Virtualization Manager API VM System Management products 9

13 Steps for creation of a virtual machine (VM) in SCE+ Customer requests VM through the cloud web portal Virtual machine virtual resource provisioning of server and storage resources Execution of automated tooling for preparation of operating system. Examples: Install and configure agents (for example, monitoring and backup) Patching operating system (OS) to current levels Security scans (e.g. Antivirus) Registration into management tools. Examples: Configuration (CI) in Configuration Management database (CMDB) Asset VM and installed software Compliance contain records of full compliance to security policies and standards Verification by IBM Delivery Executive and turn over to customer for use More than 70 tasks are automated and auditable.

15 Use Case: Create Unmanaged Server 15

16 SCE+ Managed services and tools Monitoring and management of operating systems (OS) Monitoring and patch management of OS components Antivirus on Microsoft Windows OS Accounting of software licenses OS-level security and compliance Security policy management and compliance support ITIL-based managed services enable more consistent and efficient service management Service catalog Service request activation and deactivation (SA&D) Incident, problem and change management Event management Configuration management Asset management Supporting managed services to enable additional management and resiliency Management above the operating system (such as database and middleware) Monitoring and response to alerts Patch management Vulnerability management for the managed environment Scanning using IBM security services Response to alerts and events 16

17 Use Case: Add managed services 17

18 Use Case: Add raw disks 18

19 Storage support for AIX Add up to 24 disks in addition to the root disk to an LPAR with varying sizes from 4 GB to 2 TB, allowing for a maximum of 48 TB of data disks workflow: SVM_AddDisks The creation of the additional disks is done using Storage Virtualization Manager (SVM) HMC ISD / VMControl SVM allocates requested disks and maps them to the storage VIOS of the LPAR s host VIOS Host VIOS SVM achieves disk cleansing by creating a thin volume first, setting up a thick mirror, syncing the mirror and finally deleting the thin volume once synchronization is complete. SVM TPC SVC Workflow SVM_AddDisks requests disk allocation through SVM, runs commands to map the disks to the LPAR and triggers ISD/VMControl discovery XIV... XIV 19

22 Summary Introduced IBM Smart Cloud Enterprise+ as an Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) solution designed to provide clients with access to a robust cloud environment fully managed by IBM. Discussed the deployment topology of SCE+ as an example to illustrate how clouds can be globally deployed. Discussed the Create Server use case of SCE+ in detail and developed the understanding that the use cases of production-ready, managed clouds are associated with additional requirements to the infrastructure and automation. OpenStack will become the provisioning solution for clouds. With the current functionality not all use cases can be covered yet. But given the momentum of the development, it is reasonable to assume that these functions will be delivered in near future and that OpenStack becomes a suitable alternative for enterprise-level cloud implementations. 22

23 Topics for Student Essay u Describe the use cases to be considered for an enterprise-level cloud implementation like SCE+. u Evaluate how these use cases maybe realized with OpenStack in future and where OpenStack still requires enhancements to cover them. u Describe the deployment topology of a globally deployed cloud SCE+. 23
