VMware vSphere vMotion: 5.4 times faster than Hyper-V Live MigrationVMware
Businesses using a virtualized infrastructure have many reasons to move active virtual machines (VMs) from one physical server to another. Whether the migrations are for routine maintenance, balancing performance needs, work distribution (consolidating VMs onto fewer servers during non-peak hours to conserve resources), or another reason, the best virtual infrastructure platform executes the move as quickly as possible and with minimal impact to end users.
We tested two competing features that move active VMs from one server to another, VMware vSphere 5 vMotion and Microsoft® Windows Server® 2008 R2 SP1 Hyper-V Live Migration. While both perform these moves with no VM downtime, in our testing the VMware solution did so faster, with greater application stability, and with less impact to application performance – clearly showing that not all live migration technologies are the same. VMware also holds an enormous advantage in concurrency: VMware vSphere 5 can move eight VMs at a time while a Microsoft Hyper-V cluster node can take part only as the source or destination in one live migration at a time. In our two test scenarios, the VMware vMotion solution was up to 5.4 times faster than the Microsoft Hyper-V Live Migration solution.

Understanding software licensing with IBM Power Systems PowerVM virtualizationJay Kruemcke
One of the key benefits of combining workloads in a virtualized environment is the ability to pay for less than the full capacity of the machine. Unfortunately there are many misconceptions about how software licensing really works in these environments.
The IBM Power Systems PowerVM virtualization technology offers a great deal of flexibility, but that flexibility also results in complexity when determining software license requirements. This presentation covers important licensing considerations for the IBM Power Systems environment.
Beyond x86: Managing Multi-platform Environments with OpenStackPhil Estes

In software engineering, the right architecture is essential for robust, scalable platforms. Wix has undergone a pivotal shift from event sourcing to a CRUD-based model for its microservices. This talk will chart the course of this pivotal journey.
Event sourcing, which records state changes as immutable events, provided robust auditing and "time travel" debugging for Wix Stores' microservices. Despite its benefits, the complexity it introduced in state management slowed development. Wix responded by adopting a simpler, unified CRUD model. This talk will explore the challenges of event sourcing and the advantages of Wix's new "CRUD on steroids" approach, which streamlines API integration and domain event management while preserving data integrity and system resilience.
Participants will gain valuable insights into Wix's strategies for ensuring atomicity in database updates and event production, as well as caching, materialization, and performance optimization techniques within a distributed system.
Join us to discover how Wix has mastered the art of balancing simplicity and extensibility, and learn how the re-adoption of the modest CRUD has turbocharged their development velocity, resilience, and scalability in a high-growth environment.

First Steps with Globus Compute Multi-User EndpointsGlobus
In this presentation we will share our experiences around getting started with the Globus Compute multi-user endpoint. Working with the Pharmacology group at the University of Auckland, we have previously written an application using Globus Compute that can offload computationally expensive steps in the researcher's workflows, which they wish to manage from their familiar Windows environments, onto the NeSI (New Zealand eScience Infrastructure) cluster. Some of the challenges we have encountered were that each researcher had to set up and manage their own single-user globus compute endpoint and that the workloads had varying resource requirements (CPUs, memory and wall time) between different runs. We hope that the multi-user endpoint will help to address these challenges and share an update on our progress here.

How to Position Your Globus Data Portal for Success Ten Good PracticesGlobus
Science gateways allow science and engineering communities to access shared data, software, computing services, and instruments. Science gateways have gained a lot of traction in the last twenty years, as evidenced by projects such as the Science Gateways Community Institute (SGCI) and the Center of Excellence on Science Gateways (SGX3) in the US, The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) and its platforms in Australia, and the projects around Virtual Research Environments in Europe. A few mature frameworks have evolved with their different strengths and foci and have been taken up by a larger community such as the Globus Data Portal, Hubzero, Tapis, and Galaxy. However, even when gateways are built on successful frameworks, they continue to face the challenges of ongoing maintenance costs and how to meet the ever-expanding needs of the community they serve with enhanced features. It is not uncommon that gateways with compelling use cases are nonetheless unable to get past the prototype phase and become a full production service, or if they do, they don't survive more than a couple of years. While there is no guaranteed pathway to success, it seems likely that for any gateway there is a need for a strong community and/or solid funding streams to create and sustain its success. With over twenty years of examples to draw from, this presentation goes into detail for ten factors common to successful and enduring gateways that effectively serve as best practices for any new or developing gateway.

3. IDC o POWER8
• Power based solutions can deliver exceptional
performance, and where software is priced on
a per server or per processor basis, this can be
a differentiator. In addition, Power Systems
can run Unix or multiple distributions of
Linux, and IBM's move to embrace total
open source solutions on Power
(including KVM, OpenStack, etc.) is helping
to further level the playing field. The difference
between continuing along the current path of
flat or declining sales, vs. a disruptive effect for
Power Systems will hinge on whether
customers perceive POWER8 and its open
ecosystem as a solution that merely
addresses current needs better than x86
systems, or whether Power Systems truly
addresses a set of important unmet needs.

22. OpenStack
is a free and open-source software cloud computing software platform. Users
primarily deploy it as an infrastructure as a service (IaaS) solution. The
technology consists of a series of interrelated projects that control pools of
processing, storage, and networking resources throughout a data center—which
users manage through a web-based dashboard, command-line tools, or a
RESTful API. OpenStack.org release it under the terms of the Apache License.
More than 200 companies have joined the project, including Arista Networks,
AT&T, AMD, Avaya, Canonical, Cisco, Dell, EMC, Ericsson, Go Daddy, Hewlett-
Packard, IBM, Intel, Mellanox, Mirantis, NEC, NetApp, Nexenta, Oracle, Red
Hat, SUSE Linux, VMware and Yahoo!.
23. OpenStack has a modular architecture with various
code names for its components
Compute (Nova)
OpenStack Compute (Nova) is a cloud computing fabric controller, which is the main part
of an IaaS system. It is designed to manage and automate pools of computer resources
and can work with widely available virtualization technologies, as well as bare metal and
high-performance computing (HPC) configurations. KVM and Xen are available choices
for hypervisor technology, together with Hyper-V and Linux container technology such as
LXC
Object Storage (Swift)
OpenStack Object Storage (Swift) is a scalable redundant storage system. Objects and
files are written to multiple disk drives spread throughout servers in the data center, with
the OpenStack software responsible for ensuring data replication and integrity across the
cluster. Storage clusters scale horizontally simply by adding new servers. Should a server
or hard drive fail, OpenStack replicates its content from other active nodes to new
locations in the cluster. Because OpenStack uses software logic to ensure data replication
and distribution across different devices, inexpensive commodity hard drives and servers
can be used.
24. Block Storage (Cinder)
OpenStack Block Storage (Cinder) provides persistent block-level storage devices for use
with OpenStack compute instances. The block storage system manages the creation,
attaching and detaching of the block devices to servers. Block storage volumes are fully
integrated into OpenStack Compute and the Dashboard allowing for cloud users to
manage their own storage needs. In addition to local Linux server storage, it can use
storage platforms including Ceph, CloudByte, Coraid, EMC (VMAX and VNX), GlusterFS,
Hitachi Data Systems, IBM Storage (Storwize family, SAN Volume Controller, XIV Storage
System, and GPFS), Linux LIO, NetApp, Nexenta, Scality, SolidFire, HP (StoreVirtual and
3PAR StoreServ families) and Pure Storage.
Networking (Neutron)
OpenStack Networking (Neutron, formerly Quantum) is a system for managing networks
and IP addresses. OpenStack Networking provides networking models for different
applications or user groups. Standard models include flat networks or VLANs that
separate servers and traffic. OpenStack Networking manages IP addresses, allowing for
dedicated static IP addresses or DHCP. Floating IP addresses let traffic be dynamically
rerouted to any resources in the IT infrastructure, so users can redirect traffic during
maintenance or in case of a failure.
Dashboard (Horizon)
OpenStack Dashboard (Horizon) provides administrators and users a graphical interface
to access, provision, and automate cloud-based resources. The design accommodates
third party products and services, such as billing, monitoring, and additional management
tools.
25. Identity Service (Keystone)
OpenStack Identity (Keystone) provides a central directory of users mapped to the OpenStack services
they can access. It acts as a common authentication system across the cloud operating system and
can integrate with existing backend directory services like LDAP. It supports multiple forms of
authentication including standard username and password credentials, token-based systems and AWS-
style (i.e. Amazon Web Services) logins.
Image Service (Glance)
OpenStack Image Service (Glance) provides discovery, registration, and delivery services for disk and
server images. Stored images can be used as a template. It can also be used to store and catalog an
unlimited number of backups. The Image Service can store disk and server images in a variety of back-
ends, including OpenStack Object Storage. The Image Service API provides a standard REST interface
for querying information about disk images and lets clients stream the images to new servers.
OpenStack's image is an operating system installed on a virtual machine (VM). If a developer adds a
variation to an image (as a configuration job) the result is an instance of that image. Subsequently, that
instance is an image that developers can add more variations to.
Telemetry (Ceilometer)
OpenStack Telemetry Service (Ceilometer) provides a Single Point Of Contact for billing systems,
providing all the counters they need to establish customer billing, across all current and future
OpenStack components.
Orchestration (Heat)
Heat is a service to orchestrate multiple composite cloud applications using templates, through both an
API.
Database (Trove)
Trove is a database-as-a-service provisioning relational and non-relational database engines.

27. - advanced virtualization management
Using IBM Power Virtualization Center, you can do the following:
Register physical hosts, a storage system, and network resources and
use them to create a virtual environment.
Create, resize, and attach volumes to virtual machines.
Monitor the utilization of the resources that are in your environment.
Migrate virtual machines while they are running (hot migration).
Capture a running virtual machine that is configured just the way you
want it to be. When you capture the virtual machine, an image is
created that can be deployed multiple times in your environment.
Deploy images quickly to create new virtual machines that meet the
demands of your ever-changing business needs.
