Editor's Notes
- We often start conversations about Data Center Transformation and Agility with public cloud, it’s the first and extremely important chapter in the story The fact is Public Cloud was the gateway to setting a new standard in how to run a Data Center. The Public Clouds built their businesses on providing maximum efficiency and flexibility of their data center resources This created a new benchmark for how IT is delivered. Enterprises started noticing, and realizing that for many of them this was a much better, more cost effective way to build their own Data Centers.
- The model of dedicated resources to specific groups in your organization was fine (10 years ago), but today it equates to poor utilization of resources and increased management/administrative head-aches
- We’re moving from a world of isolated users, stifled by isolation and manual administration To one of shared resource pools available in real time using self service tools
- There’s a lot of different buzzword’s that are used to describe all of this. The bottom line is regardless of what the “name” what we’re talking about is the “Next Generation Data Center” We need agility, scalability and automation
- In order to take full advantage of this Next Generation Data Center changes are occurring in how we write and deliver software applications With this, there is a fundamental shift in how applications are being written & delivered
- Automation of resource pools Maximum efficiency Maximum flexibility Self service Equates too: Faster development time Frees up developers to innovate
- What makes OpenStack work is the Open Source community behind it. No single entity drives it, the result is innovation is able to flourish. Vendors from the likes of HP, NetApp, EMC and SolidFire all working together bringing their best ideas Same with distributions, whether it’s Ubuntu, RedHat, Mirrantis or Nebula they all have the same goal, to make OpenStack better as a result we all win
- Shift in the way we think about resources and how we utilize them; this requires an investment to change how we develop apps Dizzying number of options and choices BUT THAT’S what gives it so much value Pick the pieces that fit your needs
- Do we just continue doing things the same way we’ve always done them; Slow, Inneffecient Expensive Or, do we get on board and grow; apply agile methodologies to our data center
- How can we combine the convenience of converged infrastructure, with the openness of openstack? There’s no shortage of “Reference Architectures” or “packages” available out there when it comes to deploying OpenStack in your private cloud. The problem is that in most cases, they’re only relevant for a very specific set of vendor hardware, openstack distribution or a specific hardware vendors products.
- Provides the ability to choose backend storage device that best fits your needs. This can be based on cost, existing equipment as well as features provided by the device itself Biggest benefit is that you can add resources to the pool as you go. Start with what you already have, add something new later to expand your pool Mix of various technologies and devices to deliver varying levels of performance, reliability and price point matching
- Differences in the hardware API’s are abstracted out, but they all plug in to OpenStack in the same way and are all consumed as resources from a pool Specific back ends can be selected by capabilities filtering as well as specifically targeting backend devices using admin defined data-types
- You need the same flexibility and efficiencies from your hardware that you gain from OpenStack Otherwise you’re only part way there Trying to force fit products that aren’t designed to work rarely ends well
- Reliability and performance are a requirement Use cases often dictate your requirements Planning is hard, predicting the future is even harder
- Choices are key to OpenStacks success Agile Data Centers aren’t very “agile” if you can’t mix and match the components that you build them on SolidFire offers a comprehensive, flexible and adaptable Reference Architecture to deploy, manage and grow your private cloud installation
- SolidFire provides the Block Storage for a scale-out private cloud based around commodity hardware that is optimized to run a wide range of enterprise workloads. Giving you a Block Storage platform with the ability to set fine grained performance characteristics on each individual volume and guarantee those performance levels Allowing your databases, Instance Root Disks, VDI Instances and other workloads to all be serviced from one backend device Base set of recommendations, tested, documented and proven to perform
- The agility of a true software-defined pool of compute, networking, and storage, combined with automation that allows for deployment from bare metal to fully operational openstack cloud in under 1 hour. The ability to linearly scale compute, networking, and storage to thousands of cores without downtime ….Combined with the ground-breaking Guaranteed Quality of Service for storage performance that SolidFire is known for. The reference architecture starting point is 360 cores, over 60TBs of block storage capacity, and 250K guaranteed IOPS in just a 27U footprint. The SolidFire component in particular provides a Block Storage solution that’s actually purpose built for large scale next generation Data Centers. The OpenStack model is part of the design, not an afterthought from the ground up it’s designed to integrate and perform in large scale OpenStack environments.
- Compared to legacy converged infrastructure stacks, AI for openstack delivers 50% lower cost, 80% less space, power and cooling, and over 2.5 times the storage performance.
- There are plenty of reference architectures or “converged” solutions out there. The difference is we’re providing a blueprint for deploying OpenStack that allows you to customize each component to meet your needs. You’re not locked in to a specific set of modules, or packages. You’re not locked in to a certain Operating System You’re not even locked in to a specific Block Storage system, but we’re confident that after you do some research and investigate the options you’ll want to talk with us
