Editor's Notes

  • #3 When two air masses meet, the air rises Air masses Virtualization in the Enterprise Data Center Cloud Computing Private Cloud computing is rising out of that convergence. What you see here is a Cumulonimbus cloud – the visual affect of meteorological convergence
  • #6 The W-W-H of Private Clouds
  • #7 It should come as no surprise to anyone here that Virtualization is the foundation for cloud computing.
  • #8 You have virtualization within your Enterprise Data Center. You have web 2.0 style utility computing available over the internet, classic Cloud Computing
  • #9 The classic cloud computing is what we refer to as the external cloud. Utility computing run outside of the IT organization. When we move the cloud into the data center we have the internal cloud.
  • #10 The Internal Cloud The External Cloud The Internal Cloud is your data center, trusted, reliable, secure The external cloud is someone elses data center which you can access: efficient, flexible, dynamic The private cloud is your internal cloud with can be extended (federated) into the external cloud. The private cloud may exist only internally but can also extend outside the enterprise walls for short or long periods of time.
  • #16 As stated earlier, step 1 is to virtualize your data center.
  • #17 Step two is group your data center resources into pools of similar resources
  • #18 Furthermore, you can add QOS and sub-divide your resource pools for greater control and flexibility.
  • #19 As mentioned previously as one of the challenges, creating a standardized service catalog is key to the private cloud. Services are sized and priced and made available via the catalogue: small, medium, large sized computer workloads. Software media centrally available for all to access.
  • #20 Once the service catalog is established, allow self-service access to the environment to the end users. Business needs can be meet at the IT User’s scheduled, without the need to interact with IT directly.
  • #21 Over time, the notion of self-service gives way to increasingly automated deployment. Tools for self-service access morph to include tools for defining application QoS and other parameters, which are interpreted and enforced by the infrastructure’s own provisioning management layer. Jumping off point for: vApps, Studio
  • #22 Additionally , The Cloud OS provides a common platform for datacenters and service providers, linked through federation and standards based interaction allowing the creation of private clouds leveraging common management services This allows datacenters to retain the choice of how they provide computing…without getting locked out of external clouds at a later date
  • #24 The VMware vCloud initiative, which is supported by over 100 service providers worldwide, including BT, Savvis, Verizon Business, and other leaders, delivers an enterprise-class cloud computing platform with broad support for existing and new applications, to enable federation between on and off premise clouds. The core technology underpinning the VMware vCloud Initiative is a set of Cloud vServices that provide the APIs and technologies to enable this federation to facilitate business needs such as flex capacity, disaster recovery or test and development. There are 4 core pillars to the vCloud: Most Efficient and Flexible Technology Platform for Cloud Computing A highly efficient, flexible and automated infrastructure is critical to enabling cloud computing both in the enterprise and on the public internet. vCloud services leverage unique capabilities of VMware Infrastructure to enable optimal delivery of cloud computing: Best in class hypervisor that provides highest single server efficiency: The ability to aggregate cost-effective x86 servers, storage and network into a single platform to achieve the highest cluster efficiency: Highly scalable infrastructure management via fully automated datacenter: Utility, pay-for-what-you-use infrastructure Further development with API’s enable users and cloud providers to build services. Broad Application Support vCloud services give enterprises choice and flexibility by enabling any application from legacy Windows NT to modern day Ruby-on-Rails to be deployed on-premise or off-premise—without disruption. Unlike other compute clouds that require applications to be built specifically to a single cloud computing platform and require complete rewrites of existing applications, millions of existing applications currently running on VMware Infrastructure can run on vCloud services without modification. For any size of organization, this application compatibility provides the flexibility to run applications where it makes the most sense, on premise or off with vCloud. Today VMware virtual appliances enable service providers to serve applications to users or help businesses deploy applications where they want, simply. vApps enable multiple virtual machines to be grouped with policies that follow them, making it simpler and more reliable to put your applications where you need to. Industry Leading Service Providers vCloud enables all kinds of customers and use cases to leverage cloud services by enabling an extensive and diverse ecosystem of services. With over 100 partners worldwide, the VMware Service Provider Program (VSPP) extends the vCloud platform and creates mobility and interoperability across common services built by VMware, service providers and customers themselves. vCloud Technologies ( Cloud vServices ) vCloud technologies will connect internal datacenters and external service provider offerings, enabling enterprises to move between on-premise and cloud-based services, to scale the infrastructure needed for peak load, service level management, and disaster recovery without expanding datacenter capacity.
  • #25 Additionally , The Cloud OS provides a common platform for datacenters and service providers, linked through federation and standards based interaction allowing the creation of private clouds leveraging common management services This allows datacenters to retain the choice of how they provide computing…without getting locked out of external clouds at a later date
  • #26 VMware vSphere™ is a cloud operating system - A cloud operating system is a new category of software that is specifically designed to holistically manage large collections of infrastructure – CPUs, storage, networking – as a seamless, flexible and dynamic operating environment. Analogous to the operating system that manages the complexity of an individual machine, the cloud operating system manages the complexity of a datacenter. Although alternative approaches may be pursued, VMware believes that virtualization is the key underpinning technology to enable the cloud. The cloud OS comprises infrastructure services that transform server, storage and network hardware into a shared resource and application services that are built in and available to all applications that run on it. Also equally important for an OS is the vibrant ecosystem that builds and complements it providing plug and play services to users Note: vCompute, vStorage and vNetwork represent categories of functionality provided by vSphere that abstract and aggregate server, storage and network hardware and allocate it precisely and efficiently to applications. Availability, Security and Scalability represent the categories of services that are provided by vSphere to all virtual machines that run on it.
  • #27 This is a quick summary of current and new infrastructure Services that deliver greater capital and operational savings than any other virtualization solution. Infrastructure services are components of the cloud OS that abstract away from the underlying server, storage and networking hardware; aggregate them and deliver them precisely as needed to applications At the highest level – vCompute services deliver the most efficient way to virtualize single servers and maximize utilization across and group of servers increasing capital and operational savings. vStorage services deliver abstraction from the type of storage and the most efficient use of storage in virtual environments vNetwok services deliver the most optimal way to integrate networking in virtual environments
  • #28 Application Services are components of the cloud OS that provide built in controls for service levels –these are usable with any application running on any OS inside a virtual machine – and can be turned on or off easily. This is a summary of all the new and existing application services that VMware vSphere™.
  • #29 Additionally , The Cloud OS provides a common platform for datacenters and service providers, linked through federation and standards based interaction allowing the creation of private clouds leveraging common management services This allows datacenters to retain the choice of how they provide computing…without getting locked out of external clouds at a later date
  • #30 vApp is the UPC barcode that specifies policies for applications running on the VDC OS Anyone using VMware Infrastructure can use the vApp to encapsulate a multi-virtual machine application ISVs can use VMware Studio to create vApps that can be automatically updated and maintained by VMware Infrastructure   vApp turns new and existing application into self-describing and self-managing entities. vApp leverages OVF, an open industry standard, to specify and encapsulate all components of a multi-tier application as well the operational the policies and service levels associated with it. Just like the UPC bar code contains all information about a product, the vApp gives application owners a standard way to describe operational policies for an application which the VDC-OS can automatically interpret and execute.
  • #33 Additionally , The Cloud OS provides a common platform for datacenters and service providers, linked through federation and standards based interaction allowing the creation of private clouds leveraging common management services This allows datacenters to retain the choice of how they provide computing…without getting locked out of external clouds at a later date
