Self-Driving Data Center

Preview:

DESCRIPTION

Traditional datacenter is broken up into a number of silos: network, storage, virtualization, and application. The emerging Software Defined Datacenter movement breaks those silos and creates a playground for innovation, convergence, and new opportunities to reveal the hidden and unknown. During this session I will describe what the Software Defined Data Center hype is all about, how it breaks the traditionally established silos while creating the opportunities for data driven orchestration powered by Machine Learning principals that will make cloud providers and enterprises FINALLY realize the value of virtualization and ultimately deliver the self-driving data center where open initiative is at the front and center.

• Has scale and capacity

• Proprietary Solution (Software and Hardware)

• Not heterogeneous

• Expensive

• Restrictive (vendor lock-in)

• Distributed block storage takes each local storage

system and, in much the same way as RAID

combines multiple drives into one single array. No

SPOF, point of management locus is centralized

• Enterprise level features: scalability, thin-

provisioning, snapshotting, cloning, tiering, caching,

HA/DR

• Performance: ability to spread the load from a heavy

use virtual drive across multiple storage nodes in a

cluster.

• Finally: All of the above is all about CapEx, OpEx,

and TCO

Network

Data Center Emerging (Open Source Foundation)

• What is it? It is a centralized management of the

network infrastructure that enables automation, analytics, and orchestration of network services via the standardized interfaces.

• Why SDN? Efficiency – optimized existing

application, services, and infrastructure

Scale – ability to keep up with the dynamic scaling of application and corresponding services

Innovation – from “black box” to

Why Software Defined *

• To achieve ITaaS, i.e. all aspects of infrastructure

are virtualizaed and delivered as a service

• Make application infrastructure aware for

automation, provisioning, etc.

Is Software Defined * DEAD? What’s Next?

Hardware Defined *?
