2 use cases: Strategies & Technologies
Use case 1: designing OVH Cloud Website: ovh.com Created: 1999 Activity: 4 Player Infrastructure Group CLOUD / DEDICATED / WEB / TELECOM Turnover (Europe) > 200M
OVH & the multi-cloud challenge Create a single virtualisation infrastructure Isolate, manage rights & secure perimeters Locate, deploy & connect in all DCs (EUR & CAN) Full automation of every steps for high scaling (deploy, provision, install, monitor ) High scale Industrialisation
OVH.com power 12 Data centres + 3 in progress 150 000 physical servers + 400 000 (FR/UK) 2.5 Tbps worldwide self-owned network > 500 water-cooled servers every day Now available for you in US / CA : + 400 000 physical server capacity (Montreal)
Technologies Combination of vsphere + vcloud technologies Cisco Nexus 7000 / 5000 / 1000v OVH servers (Hosts & Datastores) Multi-fibre network (web, management, data..) OVH international self-owned network / 2.5 Tbps vsphere / vcloud Servers Public / Dedicated Cloud Hosts Areas Public / Private Cloud Data Areas
OVH Cloud Servers vsphere as a Service vcloud as a Service Public Cloud instances Virtual Private Server (VPS) Cloud Hosting (Managed VPS) Virtual Machines Layer (PaaS / SaaS layer) Virtual Machine Layer (root access) Virtual Network Layer Virtualisation Layer Hardware Layer Customer Private Area Dedicated Cloud Public Cloud Web Cloud solutions
Use case 2: Qualifio Website : qualifio.com Created : 2010 Location : London, Paris, Brussels Activity : Software & SaaS Editor (quizz, polls, tests, IQ, Evaluations ) Customers : Mid size & Big companies Medias : facebook, mobile apps, websites
Qualifio: the challenge A Typical mid-size SaaS Editor situation A fast growing market Flexibility New big Customers Reliability, SLA & Security IT Infrastructure or R&D? Focus on Added Value And so they jumped in the Cloud
Qualifio: Cloud Analysis Growth: Fast but regular with predictible trends Behaviour: Cloud Farmer Security: High needs (confidentiality / isolation) SLA: End-user contracts with big customers IT HR: Limited Virtualisation skills: VMWare vsphere skills Connection with Qualifio private cloud: none (today)
Qualifio : Our proposal Regular + Predictible + Isolation + Farmer Dedicated Cloud vsphere skills + no Hybrid Cloud required now vsphere as a service
