Convergence: The combination of two or more separate IT elements

What is convergence?

Unified management Converged infrastructure Hyper-converged

Cross platform management from a single console, enabling all infrastructure components to be managed though a single interface utilizing a common management and control framework

A pre-integrated, certified system containing server hardware, disk storage systems, networking equipment and unified management software

A workload-optimized infrastructure system built on an architecture that tightly integrates compute, storage, networking and virtualization resources in a single box

Lowers total cost of ownership through simplification of systems management

Increases system flexibility and modularity without sacrificing performance

Speeds up and simplifies application deployment & time to value

Introducing Full-Switch mode on FN IOM

Same hardware for FN IOA and full-switch Unlike M1000e MXL and IOA separate hardware

1

Full-switch is a software mode Four modes on FN IOA (Standalone/default, VLT, Stacking, PMUX). Full-switch is just another mode. Customer can toggle modes as needed.

Product name changes to FN IOM FN IOA + full-switch = FN IOM

Simplified Web GUI for MIOA and FNIOM Available in Q3 2015, RTS: 12/1/2015

New Embedded Web GUI for FX2 FN IOM and M1000e MIOA (not MXL)

1

Embedded Web GUI offers rich provisioning and monitoring unlike CMC Today CMC has limited provisioning and monitoring capabilities such as VLAN assignment. Embedded GUI offers a lot more functionalities. Example – Changing the mode of the device, Enable/Disable ports, provisioning TACACS+/RADIUS, monitoring health and details status, alerts and activities etc.

Supported

1. FNIOM to ToR to SC-series iSCSI arrays: Transport LAN and iSCSI traffic from server over the same port. It will work only if your application does not require guaranteed iSCSI bandwidth as CMPL iSCSI does not support DCB. Bandwidth guarantees require DCB. Workaround is to use 4 port CNA and dedicate 2 ports to iSCSI traffic only.

2. CMPL validation is expected in Q4 2015

3. NetApp and EMC arrays validated for FNIOM to 3rd party storage use case

Příklad zapojení – iSCSI SAN diskové pole


Závěr: Kde dává smysl nabízet FX2 Tématicky ...

• Virtualizace serverů

• Virtualizace serverů a storage = HyperConvergence (Nutanix, EVO:Rail ...)

• MS Storage Spaces, VMware vSAN, RedHat Ceph

• HPC, OLTP DB

• Do DC pro VPS , dedikované servery nebo priv.cloudy, Web services

Prakticky ...

• FX2 je ideální variantní nabídka (může zvýšit šance u zákazníka)

• Tam, kde jsou min. 4 servery už to dává smysl anebo 1 server s extra výkonou storage (1x FC630 + 3x FD332 = 2CPU, 24xDimm, 3x Perc a 56x SSD/50xHDD)

• Tam kde chtějí Blade chassie, ale problém je v poč.investici anebo to vzhledem k zaplnění a TCO nedává smysl, problémy s napájením (32A)

• Jedno chassis = jedna failure domain, větší smysl je nabízet min. 2x chassis a více

• Pozor na Power budgeting, volte konfiguraci 2x 2kW PSU v Redundancy Alerting Only, pozor na kabely C19/C20

• Ideálně nabízet s technologií ToR switchů Force10 (není podmínkou)
