What is OpenStack?
OpenStack is an open-source scalable cloud
operating system that controls pools of compute,
storage, and networking resources.
It is generally used for building up private and
hybrid Software Defined IT-ecosystems
free from vendor limitations.

3. www.asdtech.co | 3
How to use?
OpenStack lets Enterprises create various production
deployments with enterprise-class service levels, without
compromising flexible access to open-source innovation.
• Continuous software delivery via agile CI/CD
• Cloud enabling existing and new applications
• IT as a Service/IT Self Service/end-user self service
• Reduce reliance on proprietary virtualization &
enable multiple hypervisors

4. www.asdtech.co | 4
OpenStack is not to replace
existing VMware/Hyper-V/Citrix
environment, but to leverage it to
multifunctional enterprise cloud

5. www.asdtech.co | 5
+ Thoroughly tested and has monolithic
architecture
+ Well supported and has a proven track
history
+ Availability of engineers on the market
+ Built-in minimum necessary HA/DR and
backup tools
+ Vendor independent, software-defined and
modularly structured
+ Scales up horizontally and provides virtual
resources on-demand
+ Orchestrates heterogeneous environments
(ESXi, Hyper-V, Xen, KVM)
+ Hybrid cloud and cloud-aware APPs ready

- Do you know what is OpenStack?
- Open… what..?
Open-source is engaging! But who sets up
SLA & supports that unknown beast?

Yeap, we are considering OpenStack, but

Is this a case we can use OpenStack for?

4 Easy Steps
to launch a Cluster

18. System Operator chooses
necessary template within the
Automation Library or creates
a new one.
Simply, Templates are the
configuration files describing
prospective Clusters’ topology.

19. Before the automated
deployment of a Cluster is
launched, System Operator can
modify some of its default
parameters.
For example, select more or
less powerful VMs, specify
networks, etc.

20. OpenStack:
• Creates new VMs and sets
up network;
• Installs OS and all necessary
Enterprise software;
• Applies PowerShell
scenarios to connect VMs to
MS Windows domain,
configure APPs, etc.
• Deploys configuration and
DB dump files, etc.

21. Ready!
The Cluster is launched and the
software is set up.
As a result, System Operator
gets the fully configured
Environment with all necessary
APPs and data pre-loaded just
in a few minutes.

Why does Enterprise might need a Billing?

24. www.asdtech.co | 24
• Real-time CPU, RAM and storage billing
• Multi-site support by Architecture
• Self-service Portal for Employees
• API for various ERP/accounting software
• MULTI x (lingual, purpose, tenant)
• HTML5 powered GUI
Billing’s Core Features

25. www.asdtech.co | 25
Top-level Architecture
Data consistency and billing redundancy are
ensured by instant component synchronization.
Databases are enrolled as a cluster, so if any of
hardware/sites fails, all of the records will be still
available in a “read only” mode, until the failed
one is up and databases are synchronized.
This approach allows keeping billing functional
and all records safe.
