IST & VMware ESX:What we did
2010 | The Sky’s the Limit
Agenda
• IST Setupo POD designo Usageo Scalability & Capital Costo Reliability
• VM as a Service
2010 | The Sky’s the Limit
Overview
• VMware ESXi 4.1• Dell & Netapp
2010 | The Sky’s the Limit
Pod Design
• POD = Compute Nodes + Storage
2010 | The Sky’s the Limit
Pod Design
• POD = Compute Nodes + Storage• PODS
o Development
2010 | The Sky’s the Limit
Pod Design
• POD = Compute Nodes + Storage• PODS
oDevelopmentoProduction – MC (Primary)
2010 | The Sky’s the Limit
Pod Design
• POD = Compute Nodes + Storage• PODS
oDevelopmentoProduction – MC (Primary)oProduction – PHY (Secondary)
2010 | The Sky’s the Limit
Compute Detail - Server
• Embedded boot device• LOTS of RAM!
2010 | The Sky’s the Limit
Compute Detail - Network
• Five 1Gig interfaceso 2 interfaces for managemento 2 interfaces for VM traffico 1 OOB KVM host management
• 10Gig
2010 | The Sky’s the Limit
Compute Detail - Storage
• NFS• Dedupe = 50% (2:1)
2010 | The Sky’s the Limit
POD Services
• vMotion• SvMotion• VMware DRS• VMware HA & FT
2010 | The Sky’s the Limit
VM Count
• Dev = 100 + 12 templates• Prod-MC = 40• Prod-PHY = 15• Total = 155• 35% Linux, 65% Windows
2010 | The Sky’s the Limit
Dev POD cost - 3 years
• Dev Servers = 3 * $30K• Dev Storage = $60K• Total cost = $150K• VMs = 100 • Simple amortized cost = $500/vm/year
2010 | The Sky’s the Limit
Further Cost Projections
• Typical VM uses 2.4GB RAM• Thus a total of ~200 VM• Total cost drops to $250/vm/year
2010 | The Sky’s the Limit
Reliability
• 95% < X < 100%• No data loss• Selected service outages• Mitigation
2010 | The Sky’s the Limit
Challenges
• VMware license renewal• USB devices• Reactive not proactive capacity
2010 | The Sky’s the Limit
VM as a service
• Why• What• When
2010 | The Sky’s the Limit
Why – Why not
• Cost• Deployment time • Management
2010 | The Sky’s the Limit
What
• 1-2 vCPU (1.8Ghz) CPU• 1-2 GB/RAM• 20-40GB storage• $600/year
2010 | The Sky’s the Limit
What Part 2
• Console access – you can install VM• Firewall• Load Balancer• AC/Power/Monitoring/Security/etc
2010 | The Sky’s the Limit
“SLA”
• Best effort
2010 | The Sky’s the Limit
When
• Now – CEL & IQC already
