2. Agenda Hard Problems Cloud Components Evaluation Approach 3. WHAT ARE TOP 3 HARDEST PROBLEM YOU HAVE? 4. Hard Problem: Capacity Management3 out of 4 cases it is going to be wrong. We tend to build in the Safe to Wasteful zones Above. Doing it right requires Extreme Agility. 5. Capacity management Capacity management Has been a hard problem across the industry Highly underutilized infrastructure Typical average CPU usage is 10%-20% Higher utilization is key to infrastructure investment ROI Multi tenancy and Resource pooling is a necessity to increasing utilization Usage metering and billing become very important in resource pooledenvironments 6. Infrastructure Management Managing disparate resources spread all over the globe is a hardproblem How do you get visibility into all the resources you have? How do you maximize capacity utilization? How do you react to changing demands quickly? How do you manage across your own resources and public cloud? How do you do this in near real time? Need A Good infrastructure management Platform 7. Migration into future state Current legacy Legacy processes Tools Skills Need to run current business while evolving to future state Need to maintain SLAInvest/innovate in new while running current platform! 8. CLOUD WHAT IS IT TO YOU? 9. Cloud capabilities NIST definition of cloud On Demand Self-Service Resource pooling Rapid Elasticity and Scalability Usage metering and Chargeback Universal access 10. Key components of cloud 11. Cloud Components and Services H/W & Virtualization = Engine Cloud Services = Chassis, Body Management Tools = Dashboard, controls, Steering wheelSecurity Monitoring User Interface MultiTenancy RecoverySelf ServiceProvisioningHypervis orCloud Platform 12. Typical challenges Many Resource Pools Bare metal Virtualized Public Cloud Possibly private cloudLack of comprehensive visibility Lack of governance due to direct consumption Lack of standardizationTHINK BIG! THINK HOLISTICALLY! 13. Evaluation Approach Detailed RFP for evaluation (akin to Job Description) Operational and functional use cases Business & Technical success criteria Pricing Score RFP (akin to short list candidates) Conduct POCs (akin to onsite interviews) Setup Demo/POC environments Execute use cases on working platform. Seeing is believing. Create options! Options provide negotiation power. 14. Use case areas Tenant Management Create a private cloud and register a Tenant Assign granular access to cloud services for a User/Tenant including quota limits Service Management Self-Service Portal/API Service Catalog Provisioning Create Instances of different sizes and types Automation of creation/provisioning of cloud, Instances and Services Multi-Tenancy through Security Groups Scalability Auto Scale out/down 15. Use case areas Orchestration Automate server builds Automate application deployment workflows Metering Track Usage of service Cloud based pricing showback/chargeback Monitoring Infrastructure and App Monitoring Resource Utilization Asset Management Ease of adding/removing cloud resources Resource view across all clouds. High Availability Shared storage/Share-nothing live migration Auto migration of instances 16. Single Pane Management Inventory of all assets in all locations Physical Virtualized PublicVisibility into workloads running Visibility into resource Utilization Consolidate underutilized resources 17.
