Editor's Notes
- IT has traditionally focused on building cost-effective services for the organization. IT has thought a lot about the various technologies to run itself more efficiently, in fact many organizations put IT under the CFO as a way of ensuring that efficiency was the number 1 item on the agenda.Examples of how things are changing include… -Application-based silos are expensive to implement and manage -Multiple hardware architectures make management expensive and difficult -There are still too many manual processes -Traditional storage was architected for service or efficiency, but not both -Old analytic approaches aren’t optimized to deal with unstructured data, certainly not the quantities being created todayRunning an efficient IT organization continues to be critically important, but many of you are looking at how to have more impact on your business. The Data center is becoming virtualized and moving to a cloud-based model. How you thought, how you built, how you responded to business needs is changing. Today you’re thinking about how you can enable the business and have real business impact with on-demand services. Many CIO’s that I speak to are also being paid on the value that IT delivers, that will clearly influence change
- What’s driving software-defined storage? It’s two things… a set of traditional business challenges, and the desire for agility (specifically from application administrators and development teams.) Traditional challenges include:IT takes too long to deliver services for new and existing appsIT downtime is hurting productivity, and internal and external customer satisfactionIt’s certainly about costs --costs of running the data center, from staffing, training and operations as well as capital expenditures for the devices inside of the data center;The issue of complexity at scale is not just scale in terms of data and volumes of data but scale in terms of number of devices and hardware-specific functionality; On the performance front, cloud computing and virtualization introduce a significant amount of abstraction between data and the hardware. Unexpected changes in the workload can be very disruptive.Taken in total, what we’re seeing very clearly are the weaknesses in the monolithic, siloed storage architectures that have traditionally been used.
- SDDC is an emerging architecture and set of technologies that build upon existing cloud and virtualization modelsDesign goal is to enable resources to be defined in software, provisioned based on policy, and deployable on any hardwareInnovation to increase IT agility and operational efficiency while speeding delivery of services to application owners So what we've seen emerge from the technology vendors, to advance the delivery of these services to the application owners and IT end users, is this concept of Software Defined Data Center, where every device in the IT infrastructure will be consumed and managed through software-defined constructs such as service levels and quality of service, service policies, and charge back mechanisms. This emerging architectural model is designed to speed delivery of IT services while improving operational and resource efficiency. Built on cloud and virtualization models, SDDC has three core characteristics:Resources (compute, networks, security, and data storage) are defined in software, allowing more efficient use and reuse of equipment.Resources are provisioned based on policies and service levels, allowing a mix of workloads to use a shared pool of hardware.Resources can be deployed on a variety of hardware, providing more choice for the purchasing process.
- Software-Defined Storage, or SDS, is one of the elements in the SDDC model, along with Software-Defined Compute, Network, and Security. SDS is about doing for storage what server virtualization did for servers--breaking down the physical barriers that that bind data to specific hardware, enabling greater operational efficiency, greater availability and lower cost. At NetApp, we're excited by the market energy around SDS, because it's so consistent with the direction we've been taking with our Storage Operating system, Data ONTAP. For years we've been attacking the challenges of the hardware-centric monolithic storage model—where data is imprisoned: its expense, complexity, and inflexibility. Our latest release, version 8.2, of Clustered Data ONTAP has capabilities that perfectly match the 3 core tenants of Software-Defined Storage:It is integrated with applications to allow application admins direct access and control;It’s a fully virtualized storage environment that allows provisioning based on SLAs, including performance, availability, and efficiency; andIt's deployable across a range of hardwareLet me tell you a bit more about how ONTAP delivers Software-Defined Storage, and why this gets CIOs so excited.
- And Clustered ONTAP runs on the storage systems you already know. This is an important preservation of the investments you’ve made. We will continue to introduce new price-performance points, new nodes, that can be integrated into a cluster, or can be used to refresh older nodes in a cluster, providing a steady, incremental approach to infinite growth.
- Now we are extending that to the cloud, and we are embracing the cloud in a couple of really interesting ways. Our recent announcement of Amazon Direct Connect, which incidentally in the last 12 months is probably one of the most interesting announcements we have made and we didn't even realize that. Triumph of culture over strategy. With Amazon Direct Connect, we extended the capabilities of ONTAP to the Amazon Cloud. The technology work that we are doing with the VSA program enables us to create again the Data ONTAP capabilities as a software appliance and make it completely hardware agnostic and hardware independent. So there's a lot of talk in the industry going on for software defined storage, and there is this mythical promise that people are making of saying there is this notion of software-defined storage, which is the only way you can create that data bus. Bullshit. It can’t. The reason why ONTAP can do it is because ONTAP is the bridge and gives the customer a completely risk free choice. It doesn't matter how you want to build that infrastructure. It will be some combination of public cloud and private cloud. Within your private cloud you will choose to build that infrastructure on NetApp's storage or somebody else's storage. You can choose to buy it as engineered systems or converged infrastructure. In the cloud you will choose your own cloud provider. It could be people by Amazon. Regardless of that, NetApp could give you a capability to make that completely frictionless, completely seamless. That is the promise of Clustered ONTAP. That is where we are heading. Peter and Eric, and a bunch of us used to stare at these slides which said “Data ONTAP strategy is to converge and complete”, and we said “what comes after complete?”. I think what is beyond complete is we have the opportunity to paint the cloud with ONTAP. I’m very excited about what clustered ONTAP can do.

- Workflow Automation is a toolset and framework which provides a consistent way to define and execute common and/or repeatable processe that you might normally perform with the Data ONTAP command line or System Manager. It can be thought of as a “light” orchestration tool concerned chiefly with NetApp storage – this follows the philosophy of putting specific controls as close to the element being controlled as possible. WFA also provides a web portal so that common tasks can be run without needing a specialist storage administrator every time. This could form the basis of “self service” storage provisioning in some environments.The tool also provides a point of integration for NetApp storage with higher-order systems, such as enterprise-wide orchestration tools. Since it presents a web-services front-end, one benefit of using WFA this way is that storage workflows can be defined once in WFA, and then called from various different orchestration tools, which is helpful if the organisation hasn’t settled on a single enterprise orchestrator or if they want to change from one to another.
- From a NetApp perspective, we see three primary groups inside an organization who benefit from SDS: App owners and development teams– These teams gain the ability to deploy new applications with much greater speed through open, programmable APIs and application integrations. They don’t have to wait for IT to serve their end consumers, so they are much more autonomous. In particular, they have a means to respond dynamically to shifts in demand or requests from their user base.IT teams focused on the data center– These teams can now shift away from simply provisioning hardware resources to provisioning based on policies and service levels. They no longer have to look to match hardware functionalities to service requests, or provision specific devices. Instead, once they have established a set of service-level policies they are now publishing for consumption, they shift into much more of a macro layer of management instead of a micro, hands on approach. They can focus more on overarching optimization of the data center, and scaling the set of services, rather than having to be the lead on each individual deployment. IT teams also gain a significant amount of security enhancements as well as role-based delegation once these policies are in place. These delegations are a key component in providing the autonomy to the app owners mentioned earlier.The last group that benefits from SDS are those in charge of making IT purchases. With software decoupled from pooled hardware resources, IT teams gain a lot of flexibility in terms of selecting appropriate hardware, making their choice based on application or deployment needs in terms of availability, performance or cost. SDS can also breathe new life into existing data center assets by delaying or helping to reduce net new capital requirements that arise due to changes within an application or a new direction for the IT group.
