This document discusses virtualization, containers, and hyperconvergence. It provides an overview of virtualization and its benefits including hardware abstraction and multi-tenancy. However, virtualization also has challenges like significant overhead and repetitive configuration tasks. Containers provide similar benefits with less overhead by abstracting at the operating system level. The document then discusses how hyperconvergence combines compute, storage, and networking to simplify deployment and operations. It notes that many hyperconverged solutions still face virtualization challenges. The presentation argues that combining containers and hyperconvergence can provide both the benefits of containers' efficiency and hyperconvergence's scale. Stratoscale is presented as a solution that provides containers as a service with multi-tenancy, SLA-driven performance

3. Virtualization
Virtualization enables abstraction of hardware
resources and slices a server up into multiple virtual
machines, each which mimics a complete physical
server
4. Virtualization Benefits
Has been a boon for IT for more than a decade
Has rewritten the rules of the data center
Has enabled heretofore unseen levels of hardware
utilization
Can enables multi-tenancy
5. Virtualization Challenges
Significant overhead
Significant repetitive work
OS deployments
System configurations

7. Containers
Containers enable abstraction of resources at the
operating system level, enabling multiple
applications to share binaries while remaining
isolated from one another
8. Container Benefits
Far less resource

Fewer operating
systems to support
Simpler application

Improved provisioning

9. Container Challenges
Relative newcomer to the data center
Security
Difficult to isolate workloads
May face challenges in multitenant environments
Some challenges when it comes to scale
Not every application is suited to containers
10. The Hyperconvergence Revolution
At the most basic, conglomeration of compute,
storage, and management
The beginnings of a shared resource pool
The beginning of the end of the “hamster wheel” upgrade
cycle
The technology has taken hold with these roots and
grown into a tree
14. Remaining Challenges
Many hyperconvergence solutions are impacted by
the identified virtualization problems
Virtual machines each need their own resources and
operating systems

Containers vs. Virtual Machines
• A portable & rapid way to push application workloads
from development production
• No dependencies on hardware or OS
• Containers are thinner and lighter weight than
traditional VMs
• Run several workloads on same platform: VM or bare
metal.
• Docker becoming very popular with new era of rapid
deployment into the cloud
