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
 Challenging at scale

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
overhead
 Fewer operating
systems to support
 Simpler application
deployment
 Improved provisioning
efficiency

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

11. The Hyperconverged Data Center

12. The Hyperconvergence Revolution
 Software defined storage technologies running
alongside business workloads

13. The Hyperconvergence Revolution
 Outcomes
 Simplified procurement
 Simplified deployment
 Simplified operations
 Simplified scalability

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
