The way to a Fast, software-defined IT

Characteristics of the 3rd platform

Unpredictable amounts of data

Unpredictable amounts of users / things

Data Center infrastructure requirements

Creation of “Fast IT”

fast & flexible scalability in transporting,

processing and storing data

Hardware-independent provisioning

=> Software-defined data center (SDDC)

Software-defined infrastructures depend on the right hardware


Building a DC infrastructure is complex

Tasks to be completed

Select, procure, integrate components

Tedious coordination among admins

Work off complex test matrix

Compatibility of (multi-vendor) components

Integrate into production environment

Deep knowledge and skills

Less focus on business

High maintenance effort Each installation is different

DIY (Do-it-Yourself) can be error-prone, time-consuming, risky, expensive.

Hyper-scale Storage-Architecture for the SDDC

Storage Requirements for the SDDC

Decoupling data management from the

underlying hardware – software defined storage

Clustered architecture for linear scalability of

capacity and performance

Using Open-source storage platforms (e.g.

Ceph) to avoid lock-in and to ensure longevity

Online refresh of storage to extend lifecycle -

avoiding storage migration

Integrated Systems – the fast Track to SDDC

The challenge The solution

Building SW-defined infrastructures

creates substantial integration efforts

The “Fast IT” emerges alongside the “Robust IT”

Main driver for SDDC: flexible and fast provisioning and scalability.

Decouples system mgmt. from

underlying hardware platforms

Enables fast provisioning/

expansion, hyper-scale

System management and hardware

platforms are tightly coupled

Mature and integrated platform

mgmt.

High integration efforts, risks

Lock-in shifts to middleware level

Specific requirements on apps

High dependency on

vendor-specific platforms

High platform migration efforts

Fast IT, SDDC Robust IT, HW-dependent IT


Robust IT

Typical Characteristics

Dedicated server and storage systems

High availability functions are embedded in

hardware or system-near software

Dedicated, vendor-specific server, storage, network

management and HA tools

Mainly scale-up storage / moderate scale-out

VMware and Hyper-V based virtualization dominate

Hierarchical networks, SAN and IP.


Use architectures with

performance headroom

for increased storage

utilization

Consolidate as much

data as possible on

hybrid (disk & flash)

storage systems.

Challenge the need

of all-flash systems

through performance

tests

Robust IT – Optimization Potential for Storage

Use automated quality

of service management

enabling consolidation

Use new cost-efficient,

simple failover techno-

logies against system

failures

Recommendations


Scale-up with Fujitsu PRIMEQUEST Servers Scale-out with Fujitsu cloud and rack servers

Robust IT – Optimization Potential for Servers

For production For business analytics

Use x86 rack or modular servers

Both designs are ideal for fast

and robust IT/bimodal IT

Use innovative x86 server designs with

large-scale main memory expandability

to support in-memory business analytics
