Scale Up Workloads

Mission Critical Workloads

Scale

Scale isn’t just more virtual processors

Live Migration should just work

No tradeoffs

Performance must increase with cores

Maximize your investment

Virtualize workloads considered “non-

virtualizable”Let’s build the best cloud together

Scaling up: Physical NUMA

NUMA (Non-uniform memory access)

Helps hosts scale up the number of cores and memory access

Partitions cores and memory into “nodes”

Allocation and latency depends on the memory location relative to a processor

High performance applications detect NUMA and minimize cross-node memory access Host NUMA

Memory

Processors

NUMA node 1 NUMA node 2

Scaling up: Physical NUMA

This is optimal…Memory allocation and thread allocations within the same NUMA node

Memory populated in each NUMA node

Host NUMA

Processors

NUMA node 3 NUMA node 4

Scaling up: Physical NUMA

This isn’t optimal…System is imbalanced

Memory allocation and thread allocations across different NUMA nodes

Multiple node hops

NUMA Node 2 has an odd number of DIMMS

NUMA Node 3 doesn’t have enough

NUMA Node 4 has no local memory (worst case)

Host NUMA

Scaling Up: Guest NUMA

Guest NUMAPresenting NUMA topology within VM

Guest operating systems & apps can make intelligent NUMA decisions about thread and memory allocation

Guest NUMA nodes are aligned with host resources

Policy driven per host – best effort, or force alignment

Securing Data at Rest

So You’re a Building a Cloud…

I have good processes in place, but what other

safeguards can I use to protect my data?

Server Hard Disks Appear on eBayReal Case : A US Power Company

The Company had processes in place to either physically

destroy drives or scrub them to U.S. DOD standards

Degaussing

Overwriting the data with a minimum of three specified patterns

Data on drives used in servers, contained:

Proprietary company information such as memos, correspondence

Customers data (460,000+) & Confidential employee informationAccording to Gartner about 1/3 companies use outside firms to dispose of PCs &

Servers

HIPAA Breach: Stolen Hard Drives

March 2012: Large Medical Provider in Tennessee paying $1.5 million to the US Dept. Health & Human Services

Theft of 57 hard drives that contained protected health information (ePHI) for over 1 million individuals

Secured by:Security PatrolsBiometric scannerKeycard scannerMagnetic locksKeyed locks

“71% of health care organizations have suffered at least one data breach within the last year”

-Study by Veriphyr

Critical Safeguard for the CloudEncrypted cluster volumes

BitLocker encrypted cluster disks

Support for traditional failover disks

Support for Cluster Shared Volumes

Cluster Name Object (CNO) identity used to lock and unlock Clustered volumes

Enables physical security for deployments outside of secure datacenters
