Private Cloud Infrastructure

n (2012) UK Study of CIO : cloud computing and virtualization technology had the biggest positive impact on businesses in 2011

n Gartner Report 18 May 2009 : Introducing Second Network Vendor Saves Money and Solidifies Operations: Second Server Second Server Vendor?Vendor? Second Storage Vendor?Second Storage Vendor?

n Doing More with Less : More positive outcomes, faster More positive outcomes, faster with less resourceswith less resources

Virtualization Implementation

n Loosely coupled ourq Network (Cisco, Juniper, Extreme, Force10 etc.)q Servers (IBM, HP, DELL, FUJITSU)q Storage (EMC, NetApp, HP, Fujitsu etc.)

n Tightly Integrated with standard technologyq IPq iSCSIq LACP (802.3ad)q Ethernet ( 10, 100, 1G, 10G, 40G, 100G )

Virtualization Implementation

n Loosely Coupled Tightly Integrated Approachqq Loosely coupledLoosely coupled our infrastructure resources

(networks, servers and storages) then tightly tightly integratedintegrated them with open standard technology to get the most benefit private cloud infrastructure.

q Less vendor lock-in / more flexible to vendor choice

q More Efforts to implement and to operate and maintain
