Using hybrid cloud to (finally!) create a BC/DR strategy May 28, 2015 Phil Goodwin
Situation Analysis BC /DR is perhaps the most underfunded major IT activity The DR line item is often the first to be thrown overboard under budget pressure As many as half of all organizations could not survive as a going concern after a data center catastrophe DR testing is conducted infrequently at best Annual testing is often a disaster in itself 5
IDC Research 69.7% of x86 infrastructure is virtualized Growing to 71.7% by 2018 Recent SMB survey 61% RTO < 4 hours 37% RTO < 2 hours 61.7% RPO < 1 hour 53% use the cloud now, 35% plan to do so within 12-24 months Bottom line: Business unit users are becoming increasingly intolerant of downtime and lost data. 6
Traditional DR Scheme Pros/Cons Approach Pros Cons Third Party DR provider subscription In-house Active/Passive DCs In-house Active/Active DCs DR professionals Hardened data center Testing facility In-house control Exclusive use BC enablement In-house control Exclusive use HA enablement Expensive insurance policy Does nothing for BC Difficult to test Compatibility issues Over subscribed 2X costs or constrained SLA Passive assets sit idle More to manage 2X+ costs or constrained SLA Complex management Poor asset utilization Bottom line: Traditional DR schemes are expensive propositions. Organizations are reluctant to double their infrastructure costs for what is, frankly, an unlikely event. 7
IDC XaaS Definitions Archive as a Service Capacity optimized offsite storage May include tape (LTFS) May include search/discovery/litigation services Backup as a Service Capacity optimized disk offsite disk repository No facility for spinning up servers, etc. Recovery as a Service BaaS plus on-demand compute/network services necessary to recover and application Users must roll their own for BC/DR No real difference for PaaS or IaaS DR as a Service RaaS plus added services around run books, personnel plans and test plan/execution Often mis-labeled as DRaaS 8
Defining workload migration The ability to move an application stack from one set of infrastructure to another set Includes across data center and public/private cloud Hybrid cloud: a composition of both on-premise data center or private cloud infrastructure integrated with public cloud infrastructure using technology that allows the seamless passing of data and/or entire workloads from one to the other bidirectionally Bottom line: DR/BC is fundamentally a use case for workload migration. 9
Hybrid cloud to the rescue? Benefits 1. Extends the capabilities of the core data center 2. No large up-front capital cost 3. On-demand compute and storage pay as you go 4. Can be used for BC and/or DR 5. DRaaS vendors popping up like mushrooms after a rain 6. IT organizations can assert as much or as little control as they like Limitations 1. Cloud provider infrastructure can vary and may not be compatible 2. Cloud providers may try to create lock-in 3. Vendors play fast and loose with the definition of DRaaS 4. Does nothing to solve the people or process parts of DR 5. Moving the entire workload stack can be very complicated. Bottom line: Hybrid cloud changes the BC/DR game, largely because it changes to cost equation. While an enabler for BC/DR, hybrid cloud alone is not enough. 10
Challenges of current hybrid cloud DR/BC approaches Movement of data and compute resources are often separated Hypervisor incompatibilities Migration for like-hypervisors only Incompatible data replication Array-based replication is often vendor-specific Lack of agility Traditional storage replication does not match the dynamics of migration Human intervention required Migrating workloads often requires manual effort 11
IT BC/DR wish list No up-front CapEx Easy to manage and maintain Easy to test Transparent compatibility Migrate the entire workload as an entity Automated migration/orchestration On-demand capacity Point-in-time recovery No over subscription Multi-purpose implementation Support for Multiple Hypervisors 12
Leveraging workload migration Use cases in addition to BC/DR 1. Test/dev and debug Move app to a test bed at a specific point in time 2. Burst performance requirements Move workload to the cloud for on-demand or seasonal bursts 3. Consolidate dissimilar virtual infrastructure Mergers/acquisitions 4. Workload or data archiving Store the entire workload, not just the data Bottom line: Limiting workload migration to a BC/DR function misses much of the value that it can provide. 13
Deployment considerations What are the primary use cases for your organization? SLA requirements (RTO, RPO, data retention)? Data center topology Multiple data centers? ROBOs? Multiple cloud providers? SaaS? Bandwidth requirements Workload Security requirements Regulatory requirements Private Business forecast New acquisitions? Rapid growth? Public Cost control imperatives? Third party integration (i.e., franchisees)? Hybrid SaaS 14
Summary Cloud is becoming a common extension of the IT data center Hybrid cloud is the most common architecture Cloud agility is enabled by virtual computing BC/DR is a primary use case for hybrid cloud workload migration, but is only one part of the value Workload migration gives IT organizations the agility to meet rapidly changing requirements Opens new opportunities Reduces vendor lock-in Combining use case value propositions increases ROI and reduces time-to-value 15
