What You Should Know about Cloud Computing ...

� Cloud Computing is a new consumption and delivery model, that is inspired by consumer internet-services� Cloud Computing enables:

– Self-service-mechanisms– Sourcing options– Economies of scale, flexibility und efficiency increase

� Cloud Computing represents:– Industrial deployment of IT-services

� Multiple types of clouds will co-exist:– Private, public and hybrid clouds– Depending on the actual workload

� What are the business needs and how to adresses these consequently– Security and data privacy– Open clouds with regard to architecture and standards– Integration of existing infrastructures– Supplying end-to end solutions – i.e. complete solutions, individual components but also integrated

appliances

The Steps to Private CloudIBM uniquely delivers solutions across these techno logies

Private Cloud

Virtualization of hardware resources in the data center

Virtualized infrastructure leads to creation of “virtual” software images

Integrated middleware combined into patterns representing middleware workloads

Easily build and configure application patterns, and rapidly deploy into private cloud

Image Virtualization

Workload Virtualization

Server Virtualization



Virtualized Middleware can be deployed in different ways

Agenda







Accelerate time to value in virtualized environments

� IBM Hypervisor Edition virtual images provide core components for building virtual systems

� WebSphere CloudBurst Appliance hosts virtual images in its catalog and dispenses them to your private cloud

� “Private cloud” , hosting virtual systems managed by WebSphere CloudBurst

WebSphere CloudBurst Appliance


What is WebSphere CloudBurst?

•2. …that manages your on-premise cloud…•Bring your own Enterprise cloud •- Hypervisors (VMware, PowerVM, zVM)- storage- network

•1. An appliance from IBM…•Includes •- hardware•- WebSphere CloudBurst function- WebSphere Application Server images- WebSphere Application Server patterns-

Web 2.0 UI, CLI, and REST APIs

3. … comprising WebSphere Virtual Systems- Customize and extend images and patterns for your applications- Dispense and run in the cloud- Life-cycle management and optimization



IBM Hypervisor Edition Offers Customers Benefits beyond Server Virtualization

� Offers the world-class clustering and high availability that IBM Hypervisor Edition products offers and all the benefits of server virtualization plus

� Dramatically reduces time to install/config multiple images and keep them updated:

– Both the operating system and the IBM products already installed in a virtual image

– Auto configs/tunes operating system and WebSphere following best practices.

– Ability to create multiple virtual machines from the same virtual image saves on disk space, time to transfer images to/from disk, and the number of times you need to apply fixes/modifications!



IBM Hypervisor Edition Offers Customers Benefits beyond Server Virtualization (cont.)

� Follows Open Virtualization Format (OVF) standards providing these benefits:

– The image is compressed for rapid deployment over a network.

– Industry standard content verification and integrity checking, and provides a basic scheme for the management of software licensing. However, if you do not purchase WebSphere CloudBurst Appliance, you would have to write the code to perform the above



WebSphere CloudBurst Components

A virtual system is the virtual WAS® environment that is being

managed by yourWebSphere CloudBurst appliance.

A pattern is a topology definition forrepeatable deployment that can be

shared. The topology parts are definedby a virtual image and

script packages (your applications).

It is possible to add virtual imagesdownloaded from IBM and

import them into the appliance.It is possible to create a custom imageby extending an existing virtual image.

It is possible to use script packagesto customize the behavior of parts in

IBM® WebSphere® CloudBurst Appliancetopologies by adding script packages

to pattern topologies.You can create a new pattern using the

IBM® WebSphere® CloudBurst Applianceuser interface.



Patterns Are Re-usable Server System Configurations

� WebSphere CloudBurst comes preloaded with a set of “best practice” system configurations (patterns) ready to deploy

� Preloaded patterns range in complexity from a simple single server topology to a highly available cluster topology

� Patterns can be used as is or used as a starting point when creating your own custom patterns



Setup of a New Pattern: just Drag and Drop…

� Assemble patterns (re-usable system configurations) by dragging virtual image parts (components of a WAS system) and script packages from the palette on the left and dropping them on to the canvas on the right.

� Virtual image parts are created from a single WAS Hypervisor Edition image for the version of WAS selected (v6.1 or 7.0) Install fixes/customizations just once to a WAS Hypervisor Edition image and all patterns created from that image pick up the fixes/modifications!

VMware Clouds

� Two modes of interaction with VMware– Interface with VMware vCenter– Interface with individual ESX hosts

� Support for multiple versions– ESX 4.0 (vSphere)– ESX 3.0.2, 3.0.3, and 3.5

VMware vCenter

1) Send request to vCenter 2) WebSphere

CloudBurst manages placement

3) vCenter manages the deployment to

the hypervisors

WebSphere CloudBurst



PowerVM Clouds

� WebSphere CloudBurst communicates with pSeries environment through VMControl

– Plug-in for IBM Systems Director

� VMControl communicates with other components in the environment

– Hardware Management Console (HMC)

– Network Installation Manager (NIM)

� WebSphere CloudBurst still makes placement decisions



z/VM Clouds

� Linux master system is a z/VM Linux guest

� Utilize z/VM System Management API for VM deployment– Use of DIRM, RACF

� Admin can customize properties of each z/VM system for deployment of VMs by Websphere CloudBurst, such as:

– What mini-disk pools to be used for VM’s dasds; for image disk cache

– Which vSwitch to used; networks to which VMs can connect (name, VLAN id)

– Memory capacity (with over-commit ratio)

� Cache of images on z/VM system: image files, mini-disks (for fast disk cloning/flash-copy)

– Faster deployment once image is cached

� Support L2, L3 VLAN (non-)aware vSwitch.

� Minimize usage of mini-disks by sharing code binary disks (R/O)
