Executive summary IT has become a key driver of business outcomes and competitive advantage, and digital disruption is rapidly transforming companies. The focus for IT now is to assure the performance of an ever more complex mix of applications across hybrid environments, such as traditional, cloud-enabled, and cloud-native infrastructure in a hybrid cloud format. By combining HPE Synergy with Turbonomic, Hewlett Packard Enterprise customers are empowered to deliver predictable application quality of service while fully leveraging the Hewlett Packard Enterprise infrastructure.

Turbonomic and HPE Synergy offer a unique approach to assuring application performance on Composable Infrastructure. HPE Synergy is architected from the ground up for Composable Infrastructure. The performance, flexibility, and manageability with HPE Synergy helps businesses provision efficiently, and scale infrastructure resources quickly, reducing costs associated with stranded resources. It is a single infrastructure that reduces operational complexity for traditional workloads and increases operational velocity for the new breed of applications and services. HPE Synergy is managed by HPE Synergy Composer powered by HPE OneView. It enables IT to accelerate application and service delivery through a single interface that precisely composes and recomposes logical infrastructures into any combination at near-instant speeds. HPE Synergy increases productivity and control across the data center by integrating and automating infrastructure operations and applications through a unified API. The unified API offers Infrastructure as code for the provisioning of HPE Synergy’s fluid pools of disaggregated resources across storage, compute, and fabric.

Turbonomic’s Autonomic Platform continuously generates decisions in real time to keep the environment in the Desired State enabling assured performance, while the underlying infrastructure is most efficiently utilized. Turbonomic and HPE Synergy Composer integration automatically maintains an active inventory of resources under HPE OneView management, empowering users to adopt the joint solution seamlessly. By feeding Turbonomic’s software-driven decisions into HPE OneView APIs to leverage HPE Synergy, customers can gain the combined benefits of autonomous performance management and composable computing to assure the performance of any workload in real time. Further benefits include:

• Complete application and infrastructure lifecycle management capabilities using Turbonomic and HPE Synergy Composer powered by HPE OneView

• Ease of use and short time-to-value to simplify the deployment, planning, sizing, performance, and management of any workload on HPE Synergy and other platforms

• Run workloads anywhere while providing performance, availability, and resiliency

• Provide cloud economics on premises while delivering differentiated service levels in any environment

• Offer excellent topology mapping and simulation capabilities

The Turbonomic platform makes hybrid cloud simple as it assures the performance of applications while maximizing the efficiency of the underlying infrastructure. Based on a common abstraction and data model, the Turbonomic platform is capable of analyzing application demand and factors multiple criteria into its real-time decisions to allocate shared resources across compute, storage, and network. Therefore, Turbonomic helps maintain a Desired State for the environment without needing the intervention of any human operator.

Use cases tested This white paper provides detailed guidelines for configuring and running Turbonomic with HPE Synergy once the system has been deployed. It concentrates on three use cases:

1. Topology mapping: Quickly understand the holistic topology, and map application demand to the underlying infrastructure

2. Elastic infrastructure and performance assurance: Deliver consistent application quality of service while maximizing the use of underlying infrastructure as demand fluctuates without the need for human intervention

3. Provisioning new compute and storage: Automatically provision available, unused compute and storage resources to dynamically meet increasing demand in real time

Technical white paper Page 4

Target audience This paper is intended for decision makers, system and solution architects, system administrators, and experienced users that are interested in a) enabling assured workload performance through software-driven decisions b) leveraging the capabilities of HPE Synergy even further by running Turbonomic on it, and c) simplifying the purchase and deployment of an architecture containing HPE Synergy and Turbonomic components.

Document purpose This document describes best practice guidelines and configuration of the Turbonomic Autonomic Platform services including example of application workloads running on HPE Synergy.

Introduction As organizations grow their virtualized applications and embrace the cloud, they often find themselves supporting a multitude of very different workloads across a shared infrastructure. The dynamic nature of application workload demand often leaves operators struggling to deliver performance and resorting to running applications in segregated clusters, over-investing in environment monitoring and reporting, and over-provisioning of both physical and virtual resources.

The combination of HPE Synergy Composer powered by HPE OneView and Turbonomic enables operators to address these challenges uniquely and with unrivalled simplicity. Turbonomic’s software-driven decisions connect via a unified API in HPE OneView and enables real-time deployment of infrastructure from fluid pools of resources (storage, compute, and network) through a single line of code to suit the demands of a workload. Resources are returned to their respective pools once they are no longer needed to satisfy the workload requirements. The overall result is performance assurance to meet workload demand with underlying shared resources continuously.

Turbonomic also unifies control over both physical and virtual assets by incorporating VMware® vCenter™ hypervisor management. Turbonomic optimizes the entire virtualization environment by workload utilization and scales new resources as appropriate in real time.

Solution overview The Turbonomic and HPE Synergy configuration design is anchored by the following Hewlett Packard Enterprise technology:

HPE Synergy HPE Synergy is the first platform architected from the ground up as a Composable Infrastructure based on the principle of Infrastructure as code. HPE Synergy is a single infrastructure that reduces operational complexity for traditional workloads and increases operational velocity for the new breed of applications and services. See figure 1.

Through a single user interface, HPE Synergy composes compute, storage, and fabric pools into a configuration optimized for any application. These resource pools are completely disaggregated and can be provisioned with a very high level of granularity. Uniquely, HPE Synergy can accommodate any infrastructure spanning from bare metal to virtualization and extending to cloud-enabled and cloud-native (bi-modal IT). Separate systems to accommodate these workloads are no longer needed, allowing for significant savings. As an extensible platform, it easily enables a broad range of applications and operational models such as virtualization, hybrid cloud, and DevOps.

Figure 1. HPE Composable Infrastructure versus traditional infrastructure

HPE Synergy Composer powered by HPE OneView The HPE Synergy Composer enables IT departments—with a single interface—to deploy, monitor, and update infrastructure for traditional, virtualized, and cloud environments on HPE Synergy in just a few minutes. Resources can be updated, flexed, and redeployed without service interruptions. Workload-defined templates define how the infrastructure needs to function, and the internal software-defined intelligence implements changes programmatically. There is no additional license fee for HPE OneView in HPE Synergy Composer.

HPE Synergy Composer increases productivity and control across the data center by integrating and automating infrastructure operations and applications through a unified API. The unified API provides a single interface to discover, search, inventory, configure, provision, update, and diagnose the Composable Infrastructure. A single line of code fully describes and can provision the infrastructure required for an application.

HPE OneView, the key enabler of the Infrastructure as code architectural principle, runs on HPE Synergy Composer in the HPE Synergy platform. With an ever-increasing number of software vendors developing partner integrations using the RESTful API in HPE OneView, customers deploying HPE Synergy have a comprehensive set of unified APIs for the software-driven control of their servers. Combined with the state change message bus, these REST APIs enable a closed-loop automation process. HPE OneView extends the power of the Composable Infrastructure (CI) to virtualization, automation, cloud, and application development. Turbonomic’s integration with latest HPE OneView has been thoroughly tested and integration with earlier HPE OneView releases has been successfully deployed into production with various Turbonomic customers.

Turbonomic Autonomic Platform The Turbonomic Autonomic Platform enables the self-management of heterogeneous environments to ensure the performance of any application in any data center or cloud environment. The Turbonomic patented autonomic decision engine dynamically analyzes application demand and allocates the full stack of all shared resources to all applications in real time, to maintain environments continuously in a healthy state.

Turbonomic is a server application running as a virtual machine installed in the virtualization environment. The administrator assigns services as targets. Turbonomic dynamically discovers the devices each target manages, and then performs continuous real-time analysis to anticipate risks to performance or efficiency, and present actions the administrator can take to avoid problems before they occur.

How Turbonomic works To keep the environment in a state where the performance of applications is secured while maximizing the utilization of the underlying infrastructure (The Desired State), Turbonomic models the environment as a market made up of buyers and sellers. These buyers and sellers make up a supply chain that represents tiers of devices in the environment. Turbonomic uses Virtual Currency to give a budget to buyers and assign cost to resources. This Virtual Currency assigns value across all tiers of the environment.

The price that a seller charges for a resource changes according to the seller’s supply. As demand increases, prices increase. As prices change, buyers and sellers react. Buyers are free to look for other sellers that offer a better price, and sellers can duplicate themselves (open new storefronts) to meet increasing demand. Turbonomic uses its Economic Scheduling Engine to analyze the market and make these decisions.

Market and Virtual Currency Turbonomic models the environment as a market, and uses market analysis to manage resource supply and demand. For example, bottlenecks form when local workload demand exceeds the local capacity. By modeling the environment as a market, Turbonomic can use economic principles to efficiently redistribute the demand or increase the supply.

Turbonomic uses two sets of abstraction to model the environment:

1. Modeling the physical and virtual IT stack as a service supply chain, and

2. Virtual Currency to represent delay or QoS degradation, and to manage the supply and demand of services along the modeled supply chain

These abstractions enable resources and services to be priced to reflect changes in supply and demand, and pricing to drive resource allocation decisions.

Economic Scheduling Engine Turbonomic analyzes the full range of buyer and seller relationships, and each buyer constantly seeks out the most economical transaction that is available. The Economic Scheduling Engine considers all the entities and resources in your environment, and analyzes them to constantly tend toward the Desired State.

Supply chain Turbonomic models your environment as a market of buyers and sellers. It discovers different types of entities in the environment via targets. Discovery maps these entities to the supply chain so Turbonomic can monitor them and manage the workloads they support. The entities in the environment form a chain of supply and demand where some entities provide resources, while others consume the supplied resources. Figure 2 shows an architectural schematic of the supply chain while Figure 3 shows how this supply chain is represented in Turbonomic’s GUI. The GUI shows in one view all the elements across compute, storage, and fabric that provide resources to satisfy the demands of a workload. The discovery process behind this complete mapping of a given topology can usually be accomplished in 15 minutes. Furthermore, the discovery process feeds into a sophisticated planning module. Built on the same underlying platform, the planner allows to running complex what-if simulations of both supply and demand side with ease. These simulations are based on a picture of the real environment and building on the same Turbonomic platforms assures that the results will be subsequently achieved when implemented.

Actions and automation Turbonomic identifies actions the administrator can take to drive the environment to its Desired State. Administrators may perform actions manually, direct Turbonomic to perform the actions on command, or enable Turbonomic to perform actions automatically as they arise.

Figure 4. Run, build, plan—Turbonomic autonomic lifecycle integration

TAP delivers value across the complete IT lifecycle from the day-to-day operational environment, the active deployment pipeline, and the planning cycle. Using the same engine that assures application performance to do deployment and capacity planning ensures that every decision made in the IT infrastructure is made in the context of application performance and efficiency.

Sample application workload The application environment was comprised of one hundred (100) virtual machines representing the combination of virtual server infrastructure (VSI) and virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) workloads using a combination of Windows® and Linux® VMs.

Turbonomic Autonomic Platform As shown in figure 11, Turbonomic was installed and configured with both the VMware vCenter 6.0u2 and HPE Synergy Composer powered by HPE OneView address and credentials as targets.

Figure 11. Turbonomic Target Configuration view

Turbonomic automatically discovered the workload and the underlying virtual and physical infrastructure—including the HPE Synergy Frame, interconnects, and storage infrastructure, which was then mapped together with the virtual workload running on it. See figure 12.

Figure 12. Turbonomic virtual supply chain with Hewlett Packard Enterprise infrastructure

Reference implementation results The existing configuration had several performance problems, the VMware® ESX® hosts were experiencing high ready queue and ballooning, plus, the datastores did not have sufficient space for the workload to perform.

Turbonomic immediately identified a set of actions to reconfigure virtual machines, reallocate compute resources, and increase the virtual storage based on the availability of resources from the HPE Synergy infrastructure. See figure 13, 14.

Elastic infrastructure and performance assurance • Customers use HPE Synergy for virtualization and private cloud infrastructure. Running on top of this infrastructure are SUSE, OpenStack®,

Hyper-V/VMM, VMware vSphere®/VRA, and container platforms that support application workloads such as VDI, SQL, and so on.

• Turbonomic integrates with all the components of the platforms listed above through HPE OneView APIs, OpenStack integration via Nova and Cinder, VMware vSphere via the VC SDK or Containers through Docker or Kubernetes and controls the workload performance and infrastructure efficiency by actively controlling all the components.

• Turbonomic identifies that workloads demand more CPU, memory, and IOPS than the current resources can provide. Without these resources, application service levels will eventually be impacted.

• Turbonomic using HPE OneView APIs and imported server templates identifies best available compute modules and via HPE Insight Control server provisioning automatically provision those resources. Turbonomic, using HPE OneView APIs, creates and provisions the new storage volume. TBN is aware of all configured policies and constraints provided by HPE Synergy.

• Turbonomic using OpenStack, VMware vSphere, or container APIs moves running VMs, containers across the existing and new compute modules and volumes to satisfy growing workload demand in the best possible way.

Benefits • Application QoS remains at the required service levels, assuring performance through elasticity

• Only the required resources are provisioned, guaranteeing efficiency

• No human intervention or reaction is required, maximum simplicity with autonomous and real-time decisions

Figure 19. Turbonomic traditional UI showing actions needed to assure performance within the HPE Synergy platform

Provision new compute and storage Using the automation ability within Turbonomic and HPE Synergy platforms, dynamic provisioning of physical and virtual infrastructure is available to meet the real-time demand of the application environments.

Turbonomic stages and prepares these components for production workloads through the HPE OneView API, OpenStack integration via Nova and Cinder, VMware vSphere via the VC SDK or Containers through Docker or Kubernetes, and controls the workload performance and infrastructure efficiency by actively controlling all the components.

With the VMware® environment utilized in the white paper, we can see a logical view of the overall multi-cluster environment. This illustrates the healthy hosts, and over-utilized hosts within each cluster. Spare compute modules may be accessible to the HPE Synergy environment in order to meet the demand of the applications, and can be provisioned using Turbonomic. See figure 20.

• Turbonomic installs server and storage profiles in compliance with best practices and current software loads to ensure a consistent platform of resources

• Turbonomic adds the newly configured resources to appropriate storage pools/cluster and installs the VMs/Containers as necessary to enable the applications

Benefits • Increased productivity through automation

• Increased return on investment through reduction of idle resources

• Faster operational agility through optimization of existing and unused equipment

• Using the Turbonomic UI, we are provided with actions to provision a new host in response to demand on the existing active host environment. See figures 21 and 22.

Figure 21. Turbonomic HTML5 UI—Provision Host Action

Figure 22. Turbonomic traditional UI—Provision Host action

The Provision Host action provides a framework to enable host lifecycle within a converged infrastructure or environment where orchestrated host deployments are available. Storage constraints within the environment may include both performance and capacity issues. Automated storage provisioning within the HPE Synergy platform environment allows Turbonomic to provide self-managing infrastructure for Hewlett Packard Enterprise customer environments. Storage resizing actions may be done at the storage controller to increase available storage to the host environment, at the virtual datastore level to solve performance and capacity constraints, and at the virtual machine or container level to satisfy demands up to the application layer. See figures 23 and 24.
