Infrastructure Design – It’s about TCO and not just purchase price
• Power consumption/Cooling
• Power delivery to the data centre
• Space – VM per meter of rack!
• Converged infrastructure TCO
– Ensure SLA for cloud consumers• Performance – define a VM, external network, Disk IOPS/data bandwidth
• Availability
• Resilience and High Availability
• Recovery time MTTR
– Rapidly build more catalogue items• Hosting instances, not just VMs and disk
Design Guidelines– Deliver VMs with no practical constraints
• VM definition: EC2-like or customer specified physical core oversubscription
• IP and SAN bandwidth per VM: 100Mb/s IP, 200Mb/s SAN from Gartner
• User memory per VM: VMware 3GB and allow Linux 500M and Windows 1G
– Provide physical and virtual pools of servers (and storage)
– Network guidelines• Ensure no bandwidth limitations/bottlenecks from high oversubscription
• Distribute server and storage infrastructure to reduce load on core
• Decrease tiers in architecture to decrease latency
– Reduce component count – including NICS and cables
– Target best TCO
Server Guidelines and Proposals– Principles
• HP Blades in c7000 enclosures
• Provide physical dedicated and virtualised shared servers
• Virtual connect/Flex Fabric
• Use 1 or 2 standard blades with minimum options limited to memory and disk
– Proposals
• x Above minimum
requirement
More VM to recover if blade
fails
Some applications cannot use more than
4 cores

Storage Guidelines and Proposals– Principles & Proposals
• Dual site resilient storage
• Preference is to use all IP networks removing Fiber Channel complexity but not always possible
• Multi tenancy admin in storage arrays
• Recognize 2 storage requirements: Tiered and Scale out
– How many GB and IOPS for tiered storage per server?• GB is a customer specified item
• Typical server: 200 Mb/s (Gartner); use block size to get IOPS

Infrastructure Operating Environment– IOE Components
• Insight Control
• Insight Dynamics
• Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager (VCEM)
• Virtual Machine Managers (Optional but likely)
– For extensible solutions add to the Infrastructure Operating Environment• Application management using Cloud Service Automation for Matrix
• To provide heterogeneity, full scale ERP for cloud, comprehensive security and deep multi tenancy management use Cloud Service Automation (this includes Operations Orchestration)
• To include XaaS Application Store and Aggregation of services use AP4SaaS

One Cloud Architecture• Easy to understand, practical
• End-to-End solution: users to provider; lifecycles from strategy to delivery, top-to-bottom solution stack
• Componentized architecture built around open standards as far as they exist
• Has no lock-in with the design and works with heterogeneous infrastructures
• Will readily scale out the server, storage and network elements
• Highly automated to reduce time for operations and to remove errors
• Designs to secure customer data and ensure privacy of applications in multi tenant solution
• Multiple solutions to minimize the environmental impact

Using the Converged Infrastructure Appliance– Expose the Infrastructure Operating Environment
– Standard hosting instances created using the Insight Dynamics Insight Orchestration designer tool. Deployment process is defined in the automation tool (OO based)
– Each instance is placed into the ID service catalogue and made available via the Web Service interface
– Instances are subscribed to via the web service interface. Insight Dynamics Workflow tool creates the instance
– Management of the converged infrastructure is via the Matrix Systems Insight Manager (including Insight Control, Insight Dynamics and extended by VMWare vCenter or Microsoft Virtual machine manager)

Summary– For today’s workloads, cloud built enterprise class infrastructure can offer the lowest
TCO
– Why?1. Lower energy consumption though efficient design, smart cooling, smart power capping
2. Less energy consumed, less cooling required
3. Less energy consumed, higher rack density and less data centre space required
4. Less human intervention avoids errors
5. Better performance from each blade permitting more VM per CPU
6. Better resource management decreases the infrastructure consumed
7. Better management keeps system running longer and allows migration of tenants when system is degraded
8. Better management allows lights out operation
9. Greater infrastructure reliability prevents failures (down time & rebates, repair cost, customer care cost)
10. Easier to design infrastructure with less risk in development and integration, greater flexibility for innovation
11. No network distribution layer decreases cost and improves performance
12. Less cables, NICs, etc.
– And in a highly competitive environment, this decreases TCO/break even time, improves profitability/ROI and makes you more competitive
