Who Should Care About Private Clouds?
IT Users
Value
Ability to react to market changes faster
Pay for what they use
Challenges
Loss of “My Server is Special / Custom” attitude
Accountability / Visibility for resource utilization

IT Management
Value
Faster response to users needs
Creating of new value drivers (transparency)
Lower IT costs (standardization)
Challenges
Service Catalog Approach to IT
Potential Shift of $ from CapEx to OpEx
Chargeback Model
Physical Data Center Architecture
Cultural Shift

IT Staff
Value
Less focus on operations, more on engineering
Less “last minute hustling”, more proactive management
Less late night maintenance, more work day maintenance
Challenges
Cultural Shift

Application Developers
Value
Build apps the same way you do now
No custom app frameworks
No cloud specific app design paradigm
Internal development clouds speed dev cycle and frees up “system administrator”
New Delivery Option: Virtual Appliance
Challenges
Culture Shift

How are Private Clouds Built?
6 Step Process
Virtualization
Tier the Infrastructure in QoS Resource Pools
Create a Standardized Service Catalogue
Make it Available Through Self-Service
Fully Automate App Hosting
Leverage External Clouds

Step 1: Virtualization… Datacenter Infrastructure Virtualization Platforms
Hardware, hypervisor and OS advances enable fully virtualized environments

Step 2: Tier the Infrastructure in QoS Resource Pools CPU/Mem Resource Pools Other Resource Pools Storage Resource Pools Virtualization Platforms … 1 N 2 3 … 1 N 2 3 … …
Logical grouping of abstracted resources allows non-disruptive addition or subtraction of capacity
Delivery of right resource / right time enabled by pools also allows infrastructure to be treated as a variable cost
More profoundly, even in mixed vendor environments, it gives rise to a consistent tiering of resources which is the basis for a new, late-binding contract between applications and their infrastructure

Step 2: Tier the Infrastructure in QoS Resource Pools Virtual DC Infrastructure Virtual DC Infrastructure Virtual DC Infrastructure VDC 1 VDC N VDC 2
Groups of pools across resource types create virtual datacenters with performance, availability and other characteristics defined by both the underlying physical resource and the virtual layers
Virtual DC QoS Virtual DC QoS Virtual DC QoS

Step 3: Create a Standardized Service Catalogue Virtual DC Infrastructure Virtual DC Infrastructure Virtual DC Infrastructure VDC 1 VDC N VDC 2 Service Catalog
VMUs are published as service offerings, accessed programmatically
Conceptually, VMUs are a key step towards the simplification and standardization of IT that enables true lights-out operation
Service Definition Virtual DC QoS Virtual DC QoS Virtual DC QoS vApp

Step 4: Make it Available Through Self-Service Virtual DC Infrastructure Virtual DC Infrastructure Virtual DC Infrastructure VDC 1 VDC N VDC 2 Service Catalog
VMUs are published as service offerings, accessed programmatically
Conceptually, VMUs are a key step towards the simplification and standardization of IT that enables true lights-out operation
Service Definition Virtual DC QoS Virtual DC QoS Virtual DC QoS vApp

Step 5: Fully Automate App Hosting Application-Specific Provisioning, Monitoring and Enforcement
Service offerings will become app-specific over time
This eventually clears the way for automated application to infrastructure provisioning, enforcement and monitoring
Closes the loop on app performance, and thereby completes the lights-out datacenter
Zone 1 Zone N Zone 2 Resource Mapping and Enforcement Virtual DC QoS Virtual DC QoS Virtual DC QoS

Step 6: Leverage External Clouds
Burst Scale out to External Clouds
Immediate scale out to External Cloud to cover resource shortage; migrate back internal once resources available
External Cloud ensured same security and reliability as Internal cloud
Private Cloud Internal Cloud App Loads External Cloud Virtual DC QoS Zone 1 Virtual DC QoS Zone N Application-Specific… Resource Mapping… Application-Specific… Resource Mapping…
