VMware + OpenStack: No fork in the road…

3

Embracing Customer Choice…

• Choose different technologies, while using a single cloud API + GUI

• Choose different deployment models (do-it-yourself vs. vendor solution)

OpenStack is a framework that provides the freedom to…

OpenStack

Compute? Network? Storage?

Mgmt?

What SW/HW infrastructure technologies meets my

needs for advanced features, ease-of-use, cost

structure, scale, reliability, monitoring, performance,

SLAs, troubleshooting, etc?

4

OpenStack as a Framework

• Vendor neutral + developer friendly API, with “plugin” architecture

• Enables custom coding + rapid iteration by in-house development teams.

• Best-in-class software-defined datacenter (SDDC) technology, as individual components or as an integrated software suite.

…with the innovation, reliability, and ease-of-use of VMware

The flexibility of the OpenStack framework…

Embracing Customer Choice + OpenStack

Contribute to OpenStack

• Integrate VMware compute, network, storage SW with OpenStack.

• Make OpenStack better, helping customers succeed with their cloud effort.

Like all OpenStack vendors, compete for your business.

• Show customers how VMware components helps them run a better cloud.

• Work with ecosystem to make sure it is easy to deploy OpenStack + VMware

Our Goal: Make VMware the best and easiest way to run OpenStack

VMware’s focus on SDDC allows VMware to embrace customer choice.

Choosing a Compute Driver: Why vSphere for Nova?

Technical:

• Purpose-built hypervisor platform provides

unmatched combination of reliability, security, and

performance.

• Availability features (vMotion, HA) and compatibility

testing protect critical production workloads.

• Advanced resource management (e.g., DRS,

SDRS) better utilizes HW, providing higher density

and avoiding “noisy neighbors”.

Operational:

• Enterprise-polished solution simplifies adoption.

• Enterprises already have the expertise.

• Vast array of VMware + Ecosystem tools to manage

the infrastructure layer

• Deploying OpenStack can be as simple as

deploying a single “controller” VM.

Choosing a Network Driver: Why NSX for Neutron?

Technical Capabilities:

• First and most production-hardened network

virtualization solution.

• Doesn’t rely on physical network for VLANs,

FW, etc. Works with gear from any vendor.

• The technical “details” matter:

• Tunneling packet performance

• High-availability + scale-out model.

• “Distributed” network services.

Compatibility + Ecosystem:

• Works on KVM, XenServer, and ESX.

• Integrations with many HW Switch vendors to allow

NSX to manage physical workloads.

Operations:

• Troubleshooting tools to view how virtual networks

are built, impact of physical network failures.

Choosing a Block Storage Driver: Why vSphere for Cinder?

Simple but Powerful:

• Single driver works with any vSphere

validated storage (NFS, iSCSI, FC)

• Leverages huge validation efforts

across many vendors.

• Includes VAAI array acceleration work

for snapshot, clone, etc.

Enables VMware “virtual SAN”:

• Provides shared storage leveraging

SDD/Hard-disks on the hypervisor.

• Low-cost storage devices, but with

accelerated by local SSD cache.

• SSD cache is configurable per-disk,

allowing extremely high IOPS for data

intensive workloads.

Management Technologies with OpenStack

Application Management:

• vCloud Automation Center (vCAC) 6.0

includes support for consuming from

OpenStack clouds, in addition to other

back-ends like vSphere, KVM, + AWS.

• Provides governance, policy, workflow,

and costing, which are not present in

OpenStack.

Infrastructure Management:

• vCenter and the NSX manager provide

base troubleshooting capabilities for

investigating issues at SW layer.

• vCenter Operations Management

(vCOPs) provides advanced visibility

into the relationships between different

elements, health monitoring, anomaly

detection, etc.
