Linee Guide

• Fornire servizi tecnologici a livello di gruppo, comuni a tutti• Fornire servizi tecnologici autonomi e automatici• Condividere tutto• Self-Service• Definire processi standard a livello di gruppo• Normalizzare capacita’ di calcolo, network e storage• Ottimizzare il posizionamento dei workload tenendo conto dei costi, policy

locali etc• Cambiamento culturale da “IO HO” a “IO USO/CONSUMO”• LSD e VDC

6

VDC

• Ideale per applicazioni enterprise • Completamente supportata, dal Platform, OS al

Database.• Backup and monitoring inclusi come parte del

servizio.• Resiliency parte della piattaforma•

• L’Infrastruttura piu’ economica disponibile in Sky• La piu’ veloce per il deploy di applicazioni• Soluzione che integra compute, storage,

firewall & network• Orchestration e Metering• Automatic application scaling • Platform as a Service

Strategic Private Cloud Approach for Sky Group

VDC: Virtual Data Centre

12

Virtual Data CentreFully resilient, secure and highly available virtual compute hosted within Sky’s own data centres

13

VDC – Virtual Data Centre Cloud Compute Services

▪ Elements– Free, time-limited virtual machines for development and testing purposes– Wide selection of operating systems and pre-built templates– Full administrative access

▪ Spark t-Shop Integration– Order corporate virtual machines direct from t-Shop– Simple t-shirt based sizing based on common requests– Fully automated deployment

▪ Self-Service Capacity Pools– Pre-purchase blocks of compute and storage– Self-Service interface to deploy/manage/destroy virtual machines– Ability to provide bespoke automation as part of the provisioning process

VDC – Regions / Availability ZonesDefinition

VDC (Virtual Data Center) is available in multiple geographic locations. These locations are composed of Regions and Availability Zones that are engineered to be highly available.▪ Regions are separate geographic areas that contain one

or more isolated Availability Zones. Regions are completely independent from one another.

▪ Availability Zones are isolated from one another, but may share underlying network and/or storage infrastructure within a single Region.

You can choose the location where you would like to deploy virtual machines and spread instances across multiple Regions and Availability Zones for increased resiliency.Note: some virtual machine templates may not be available in all Regions and Availability Zones.
