Lessons Learned: Defining an infrastructure strategy that supports a SaaS business model

Infrastructure must scale

with the business

Minimum latency is table stakes. Performance truly is King

Mixed workloads are the norm – no

more silos

Cost efficiency is paramount now and in the future


Role of Storage in Application Delivery

Storage is the foundation of the application stack. It dominates TCO and is fundamental in determining latency and overall application performance

Kaminario SaaS Use Case Summary


#1 ask by SaaS providers of their infrastructure vendors? Make My Database Applications Hummmm

§ Objective is to minimize latency

§ Focus on solutions that can manage increasingly random I/O

§ Flexibility to tune performance-cost to your application needs (scale up vs. scale out)

Tight integration with storage array data servicesCompression, Replication, Snaps, Database-aware QoS


A Natural Fit?

SaaS Containers

What are Containers?

§ A virtualization

technology similar in

concept to hypervisors

§ Abstract the OS rather

than the server hardware

§ An application and its

dependencies are

packaged into a container

§ Some implementations

require a hypervisor and

others run on bare metal

hardware

§ Containers enable

workload agility,

portability and more

efficient infrastructure

optimization


Complimentary or A Natural Evolution?

Virtualization Containers

SaaS, Containers and AFAs

§ Hyperscale web companies are most engaged in using containers for their SaaS offerings

• Agility, performance and efficiency

§ SaaS is cloud, cloud is virtual, container agility and efficiency better than virtualization alone

• Containers for application packaging and portability

• Virtualization (VMs) for hardware partitioning

§ Containers will change virtualization utilization assumptions about density

• Which could impact server design

§ AFAs needed to enable increased infrastructure density

Business agility, SDLC acceleration, and performancewill top cost savings as the primary deployment drivers

Through 2020 will be deployed to support traditional appsprimarily on virtualized on-premise infrastructure

Most enterprises are still in the embryonic stages of container use

Production deployments will primarily use commercially supported distributions

AFAs for Containers

§ Devops a primary use of containers through 2020§ Agility is critical driver of container usage here

§ AFA snapshot performance, efficiency, utilization

§ Scale-out AFAs offer additional value§ Can scale non-disruptively across a wide range

§ AFAs enable high infrastructure density

§ Flash performance in virtual environments§ Predictably consistent latencies

§ High throughput for data movement


Simplified Scalability for Agile Development Environments

Start small and independently scale performance and capacity

SCALE–OUTAdd performance by scaling out controller nodes

SCALE–UPAdd capacity to single K-Block by adding additional drive shelf

SCALE–UP-AND-OUTAdd capacity and controller nodes independently

Kaminario All-flash provides persistent storage for Docker through it’s Flocker plug-in

• Flocker is an open-source container data volume manager for Dockerizedapplications

• The Flocker cluster is comprised of the following sets of services:

• The Flocker control service • Flocker agent/Storage Driver • Flocker Plugin for Docker

• Kaminario Flocker Agent allows dockerized applications to use the K2 All-flash array as persistent storage


Let’s have some fun & win some awesomeness!
