Agenda

A Look at Micro Servers The Case For A Desktop Cloud “CriKit” Desktop Private Cloud MicroServer Power Economics The Future, Today

Micro Servers – Changing the Game

Small Form Factor Servers Moore’s Law has enabled significant compute power in “small” devices Energy consumption is across a range, but substantial consumption reductions are possible High growth server category High value for specific use cases Enabling new solution architectures

US Micro, MicroServer Node

• 100 Watt Power Consumption • Up to 32 GB of RAM • Low wattage Intel Xeon proc • Uses SSD’s for High Performance • Few moving parts • Capable of running multiple VM’s • Capable of handling thousands of users per node • Can run an entire 3 tier architecture, plus a

desktop OS inside a single node using any major hypervisor

DEMO Available Online

15 Virtual Machines – Single Node when necessary.

Current Situation

Private, Hybrid and Public Cloud investigation and adoption is increasing. Evaluation, Development, Testing and Demonstration environments are getting increasingly complex and expensive.

Multi-node High Speed, multi-Network Persistent Storage

IT is being asked to provide more compute, storage, networking and services for eval, dev, test, training and demo environments.

The Need

A multi-node desktop Cloud compute environment at a reasonable price.

Requirements – Minimum of 4, x86 compute nodes Run a variety of hypervisors and operating systems. High Speed Networking – dual Gb Ethernet nic’s External Persistent Storage – NFS, CIFS, HTTP, FTP Green – low power consumption Powerful - run multiple vm’s on a single node Low cost Compact Expandable Standard Power and not a loud blast furnace

The Future, Now

CriKit is more than a Desktop Private Cloud It is a miniature Data Center Represents the future of Small Business Computing Some number of compute nodes doing local computing tied into the Public Cloud making a Hybrid model will be very common in the future. CriKit does that today. Investigate this new computing paradigm today !
