Bigtera Limited.
How Do You Build a SDDC
◢Servers
◢Network switches
◢Storages
2
Need a software to manage the resources
Why OpenStack
◢Agility
◢Availability
◢Efficiency
◢Self-service
◢Open source with driving innovation and robustness
● 250+ supporting organization and 11,000+ individual members
◢Commodity hardware with no vendor lock-in
◢De facto standard for private cloud
3
Get Your Hand Dirty
4
Challenge of OpenStack Deployment
◢ 5~7 physical machines are minimal requirement
◢Network
◢Storage
● For VM and applications
● Capacity plan
● Redundancy
● SLA
◢ In return you get one compute node
5
It only make sense in large scale deployment !?
How about ROBO
◢A full set of OpenStack is way too much
◢HCI is good for ROBO but…
● It’s another system
● Can’t talk to OpenStack infrastructure built in headquarter
6
Value of HCI
7
Gartner: HCI grows 79% to $5bn in 2019.
◢HCI vs. to Traditional Storage infrastructure:
Less acquisition
cost
Less operation
cost
Less maintenance
cost
Introducing OpenStack HCI
Powered by AIC, Bigtera and Gemini

True HCI with De Facto Standard
12
Semi-HCI v.s . True HCI
◢Semi-HCI
● Compute and storage are in different physical node but in the same chassis
● Compute and storage are in the same node but there are dedicated control
nodes
◢Challenge of semi-HCI
● Resource is not optimized
● Flexibility and reliability
◢ True HCI
● Each node can be compute, storage and control nodes
◢Benefit
● Simple - better flexibility and reliability
● Fully optimized resources
13
Infrastructure That Fits Applicat ions
14
Infrastructure That Fits
◢Application requires not only local disk but also SAN or NAS
● Solution now is to purchase another storage devices
◢Bigtera OpenStack HCI allow your to provision SAN, NAS even Object
storages from storage resources in HCI
● No external storage device is required
15
Simple architecture to lower CPAX and OPEX
Software Defined
16
Everything is Software Definable
◢Define your compute resource
● CPU, RAM
◢Define your network
● #NIC, Switches
◢Define your storage
● Virtual disk, SAN, NAS and object storage devices
● Standard protocol (CIFS,NFS, iSCSI, FC)
● IO QoS
● Redundancy
● Cloud backup and restore
● Multi-tenant
17
Defined multiple datacenter in the same HCI
Interoperable Between Datacenters
18
Interoperable
◢Build a stretch cluster with other datacenter
◢Remote DR
◢Multi-region object storage service with single name space support
