Virtualization - Hypervisors

Multiple Hypervisors within data center

Virtualization Challenges 1. Application performance 2. Security 3. VM sprawl 4. Licensing costs 5. Stuck on storage 6. Virtual roadblocks & Silos 7. Virtual Mobility Impacts Network Optimization

Virtualization Challenges 1. Application performance Virtualization does not add any significant performance issue Resource saturation may affect multiple application and services applications aren t yet tuned for virtual environments unused resources are not freed-up virtualization new features not used 2. Security Compromise of the Virtualization Layer Lack of Visibility and Controls on Internal Virtual Networks Workloads of Different Trust Levels Adequate Controls on Administrative Access Lack of Separation of Duties for Network and Security

Virtualization Challenges 3. VM sprawl Number of OS instances is increasing Licensing, compliance, administration issues mount Virtual machine lifecycle management (VMLM) Transition to Private Cloud solves most of these problems 4. Licensing costs Hypervisor Cost Private Cloud & Management Software Operating Systems and Applications Oracle Licensing

Virtualization Challenges 5. Stuck on storage Storage I/O has been a limiting factor for large environments Read / Write IOPS pattern has changed dramatically: Typical distribution read/write operations: 80/20 Virtualization distribution read/write operations: 50/50 or even 40/60 desktop virtualization produces new demands for I/O, especially write I/O 6. Virtual roadblocks & silos Multiple generations of hardware Traditional design limitations result to silos of H/W 7. Virtual Mobility Impacts Network Optimization Network Virtualization is following System s virtualization Delay in adapting to the new needs and challenges (Metro vmotion, etc)

Pressures to Move to the Cloud Organizations Wrestle With Utilizing the Cloud to Solve Issues Speed: Want/Need something ASAP Cloud is quick Cost: Must be low cost with minimal/no upfront investment Fits Business Model: Must be able to fit the way we do business Must be stable: reliable application and delivery infrastructure Must be secure: Must be able to protect my data! Ease of use: Must be easy to use and adopt Must be able to integrate with other business applications BUSINESS NEEDS IT Department TECHNOLOGY NEEDS

Workloads shifting to Cloud Many workloads are migrating to public or private cloud camps Server Capacity On Demand IT Management Business Apps (CRM, ERP) PRIVATE CLOUD 1 PUBLIC CLOUD 1 IT Helpdesk Collaborative Applications Data backup/archive Services App Dev. & Test Tech. Computing Apps Data Analysis and Mining Custom Applications Applications with sensitive data TRADITIONAL IT Email Personal Productivity Apps Website Creation & Management Storage Capacity on Demand

Cloud Computing characteristics Pay as you go. Business customers only pay for products and services actually used on a metered, chargeback basis under flexible service agreements, as opposed to fixed term contracts On demand. Requests for IT services should be delivered immediately as requested, supported by real time processing, to cut the time required for the fulfillment process Automation. Business customers must be able to request services from a catalog via self service interfaces Standardization. The IT organization defines and enforces the use of a set of standard services articulated in a comprehensive service catalog, encouraging reuse and achieving cost predictability Workload portability. IT services are designed to be fully portable between infrastructures and vendors, letting the customer easily move workloads to the most cost effective location

Best practices Drive organization change from the top down Develop clear cloud service quality objectives and metrics Build a holistic cloud operating model Enforce standardization to take advantage of cloud economics

The results: Savings, speed, agility and a platform for the future Early cloud returns fund new strategic IT initiatives Cloud savings drive down the amount spent on basic IT infrastructure operations Workloads are deployed to the most efficient internal or external locations Reduced wait times for infrastructure save additional time and money

The future Everything & everyone is connected Everyone expects immediate gratification & instant results Business & IT are one and the same Respond to continuous opportunity & competition Anywhere, Any time, Any way IT turns business on, instantly

How to move forward? Clear logical separation of systems About 80% of systems are not business critical and/or can be standardized Only about 20% are business critical and cannot be standardized Create categories of systems Target for non-business critical systems that can be standardized: Public Cloud Target for business-critical systems that can be standardized: Private Cloud Target for systems that cannot be standardized: Legacy Infrastructure Disentangle physical systems to enable migration to future platform Establish clear interfaces, SLAs, security and performance requirements Move cloud-target systems towards SOA-enabled applications Align organization to new operating model Create new roles and focus on managing the cloud platforms instead of managing infrastructure and applications (except where not possible).

Ideal State for cloud computing Streamlined, cooperating, shared services Standard APIs and Data Models Scale up - Scale down Capacity Movable workloads affinity with market access, services and data location Wide choice of: Data sources Third-party applications Community services such as Data storage and analytics
