Agenda

� What we are seeing in Cloud

� Creating Shared Infrastructure

� Automation and Orchestration

� CDMI

NIST Cloud Definition

� Ubiquitous access

� Shared Pool

� Rapidly Provisioned

� Minimal Mgmt

5 Essential Characteristics:•On-demand self-service•Broad network access•Resource pooling•Rapid elasticity•Measured Service

4 Deployment Models:•Private•Public•Community•Hybrid

3 Delivery Models:•SaaS•Paas•IaaS

What are the Benefits of Cloud Computing?

� Efficiency– Improved Asset Utilization

– Aggregated Demand and Accelerated system consolidation

– Improved Productivity in application development

� Agility– Purchase “as a service” from trusted cloud providers

– Near instantaneous increase/decreases in capacity

– More responsive to urgent needs

� Innovation– Shift focus from asset ownership to service management

– Tap in to private sector innovation

– Encourages entrepreneurial culture

– Better linked to emerging technologies (e.g. devices)

Transitioning beyond Virtualization to Cloud

� Private Cloud: behind the firewall of an enterprise, closed to public

� Public Cloud: accessible via service providers for general purchase

� Hybrid Cloud: private clouds linked to public clouds

Increased performance and capacity

� Scale out with standard and proven configurations:� Predictable and highly efficient:� Capacity and performance� Floor space, power, and cooling

� Benefits:� Reduce effort for architecture,

design, deployment, and testing� Reduce infrastructure deployment

cycle time by up to 50%

� Manage pools consisting of storage, compute, and networking resources, not individual systems

Secure Multi-Tenancy Throughout the Stack

� The first and only integrated stack that enables secure multi-tenancy from top to bottom

� Logical customer separation (SP) or business unit / application separation (IT)

� Secure partitioning from vSphereto UCS to MultiStore

� Persistent security throughout the VM lifecycle, including VMotion and Data Motion

Hybrid Cloud

“The cloud infrastructure is a composition of two or more clouds (private, community, or public) that remain unique entities but are

bound together by standardized or proprietary technology that enables data and application portability (e.g., cloud bursting for

load-balancing between clouds).

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)(You’ll Know You Arrived When…)

Service Analytics

Optimize your services� Answer key questions to

delivering business value– What do we have and

where is it?– What’s causing my

performance problem?– What’s the impact of

change?

� Understand what services are being used by who– Show utilization metrics

back to your users– Enable showback or

chargeback

27

You need visibility and actionable knowledge for optimizing your virtual IT

infrastructure

Capacity Planning

Metered Usage

Service Assurance

Performance Optimization

28

CDMI

What is CDMI?

� An interface for interoperable transfer and management of data in a cloud storage environment.

� CDMI addresses the lack of standardization in three key areas related to cloud storage:1. Client controlled client-to-cloud data transfer

2. Client controlled cloud data management

3. Client controlled cloud-to-cloud data transfer

� Currently there are no de jure standards in this area.– Amazon S3 is a de facto standard

29

CDMI Overview

CMDI Can be implemented side-by-side with existing, proprietary interfaces by:Public Cloud Providers, Storage Equipment Vendors, or Enterprises themselves
