PLANNING FOR CONVERGED INFRASTRUCTURE Performance, Capacity and Management Peter Dyer – Product Manager www. uptimesoftware. com
Why am I here? • Alex couldn’t be here • Building software for the datacenter for more than 15 years • Focused on virtualization for the past 8 years • Worked on a tool called Plate. Spin Recon – one of the first virtualization consolidation/capacity planning tools • Working with up. time customers to define the future of our product, including addressing management and capacity planning challenges in the modern datacenter www. uptimesoftware. com
Definition – Converged Infrastructure Grouping of multiple components: server (compute), storage, networking and management software in a single, optimized computing package + + = or www. uptimesoftware. com
Two approaches Integrated Systems Fabic Based (Hyperconverged) (newer, scale out) (older, scale up) www. uptimesoftware. com
Subcategories (Gartner) – Integrated Systems (Converged Infrastructure) • Integrated stack systems (ISS) – server, storage and network with application software – Simplified: really big server (one application) • Integrated infrastructure systems (IIS) – server, storage and network to provide compute infrastructure – Simplified: private cloud • Fabric-based computing (FBC) – server, storage and network together in an integrated system designed to be building blocks – Simplified: private cloud building blocks www. uptimesoftware. com
Integrated stack systems (ISS) Examples: Oracle Exadata, IBM Pure. Application, Teradata www. uptimesoftware. com
Integrated infrastructure systems (IIS) Examples: VCE Vblock (VMware, Cisco, EMC), HP Converged. System, IBM Pure. Flex, Cisco-Net. App Flex. Pod www. uptimesoftware. com
Fabric-based computing (FBC) / Hyperconverged Infrastructure Examples: Simpli. Vity, Nutanix, HP Moonshot www. uptimesoftware. com
Demand Supply Integrated Systems www. uptimesoftware. com Fabric-based www. uptimesoftware. com
Under the covers • Integrated systems – – Existing technology Reference architecture Pre-configured Tested • Fabric-based – New technology – Existing parts www. uptimesoftware. com
The History of Fabric-based Converged Infrastructure Google www. uptimesoftware. com
Key use cases • Private cloud • Virtual desktops • Applications – Traditional data driven: Oracle, SAP, etc – Big data: Hadoop, etc • Greenfield www. uptimesoftware. com
Business Drivers • • • Improved performance Lower operating costs Simplified support Faster deployment Simplified sourcing www. uptimesoftware. com
Market • Gartner estimates – Converged infrastructure (Integrated systems) • 2014: $6 B • 2014: 50% growth rate – Total hardware market: $80 B • Marketsand. Markets – Converged Infrastructure • $33. 89 B by 2019 www. uptimesoftware. com
Systems Management • Good news – Workloads are not changing • Operating systems and applications just see (virtual) hardware – Hypervisor is not changing • But there are more (new) parts • Bad news – Hardware is changing, and access to physical hardware is changing www. uptimesoftware. com
Not isolated Converged infrastructure Private cloud www. uptimesoftware. com Software-defined data center
Not isolated Converged infrastructure Private cloud www. uptimesoftware. com Software-defined data center
Software-Defined Data Center Storage • VMware – v. SANs – v. Vols • Microsoft – Storage spaces • EMC – Scale. IO Networking • VMware – NSX • Microsoft – Hyper-V Network Virtualization (HNV) • Cisco – Extensible Network Controller (XNC) • VMware – EVO (Rail & Rack) www. uptimesoftware. com
Software-Defined Storage (SDS) • Pool of disks treated as one disk resource – Local disk • VMware v. SAN • Microsoft Storage Spaces • Fabric-based (Hyperconverged) solutions – External disk (NAS, JBOD, etc) • VMware v. Vols • Goals – Lower costs – Easier to scale – Easy management (eliminates hardware RAID and proprietary SAN operating systems) www. uptimesoftware. com
Storage is evolving (sort of) • Capacity is ever increasing, IOPS sort of • IOPS is king (or at least very important) – Mixing of different types of storage – fast tier – Dynamic tiering – Caching • Replication – Data protection www. uptimesoftware. com
Software-Defined Networking (SDN) • Moving switch management from the physical port to software that follows the VM (workload) • Goals – Lower costs – Easy management – Better security (egg) www. uptimesoftware. com
The Software-Defined Challenge • Who knows the truth – It used to be the operating system – it isn’t any more www. uptimesoftware. com

The New Way Tradeoff • Good – Time to provision new systems (agility) – decreased dramatically – Cost per system – decreased dramatically • Bad – Cost to manage new systems – increased dramatically – Number of systems – increased dramatically www. uptimesoftware. com
Not isolated Converged infrastructure Private cloud www. uptimesoftware. com Software-defined data center
Private Cloud Defined • Shared pool of computing resources inside a corporate firewall • Characteristics – – Easy, fast provisioning / access to resources Used by many departments / groups Used for a wide variety of use cases Buzz words: agile, automated www. uptimesoftware. com
Cloud Capacity Challenge • Are people using the resources they have requested? – Generally, no they are not www. uptimesoftware. com
Strategies to address challenge • Show costs upfront at time of provisioned • Chargeback – Show-back • Shame-back • Lease only (must be renewed) • Overprovision www. uptimesoftware. com
Not isolated Converged infrastructure Private cloud www. uptimesoftware. com Software-defined data center
Capacity Planning Challenge • Limited ability to isolate capacity and performance to discrete elements – CPU, memory, disk (fast and slow) purchased together www. uptimesoftware. com
v. Block example (small and simple) www. uptimesoftware. com
Related challenge • Fast and slow disk www. uptimesoftware. com

WRAP UP www. uptimesoftware. com
Questions • • What type of converged infrastructure is being deployed? What is it being used for? How easy is it to add capacity? How much capacity must be purchased? – How much lead time is required? • Can capacity be optimized across compute and storage? • What is the maximum workload size that needs to be supported? www. uptimesoftware. com
Takeaways • Converged Infrastructure doesn’t exist in isolation – – Software-defined data center – Use case (ie Private Cloud, VDI, etc) • Software-defined data center introduces “source of truth” management challenge • Private Cloud introduces capacity challenges • Converged Infrastructure introduces capacity challenges www. uptimesoftware. com
