The best kept insider secret vmware vsphere cloud deployment webinarHitachi Vantara
The document discusses two myths about using VMware vSphere 5 for cloud deployments. The first myth is that it makes more sense to deploy vSphere 5 over NFS instead of Fibre Channel or iSCSI. While NFS provides flexibility and cost savings, it has disadvantages in reliability and performance compared to block storage options. The second myth is that Storage DRS and Profile-Driven Storage are sufficient to meet the requirements of tier 1 applications. However, Storage DRS has limitations and may not provide the guaranteed performance and availability needed for critical applications. The document recommends evaluating both block and file storage options and using automated tiering to optimize performance and costs.

Microsoft SQL Server is one of the most widely deployed “apps” in the market today and is used as the database layer for a myriad of applications, ranging from departmental content repositories to large enterprise OLTP systems. Typical SQL Server workloads are somewhat trivial to virtualize; however, business critical SQL Servers require careful planning to satisfy performance, high availability, and disaster recovery requirements. It is the design of these business critical databases that will be the focus of this breakout session. You will learn how build high-performance SQL Server virtual machines through proper resource allocation, database file management, and use of all-flash storage like XtremIO. You will also learn how to protect these critical systems using a combination of SQL Server and vSphere high availability features. For example, did you know you can vMotion shared-disk Windows Failover Cluster nodes? You can in vSphere 6! Finally, you will learn techniques for rapid deployment, backup, and recovery of SQL Server virtual machines using an all-flash array.
VMware: Enabling Software-Defined Storage Using Virtual SAN (Business Decisio...VMware
VMware's Virtual SAN 6.0 software enables software-defined storage using the hypervisor. It provides a simplified storage solution that pools server-side storage and manages it through storage policies at the virtual machine level. Virtual SAN delivers high performance, scale, and availability while reducing costs through server-side economics and linear scalability. It is well-integrated with the VMware software stack and supports a variety of use cases including virtual desktop infrastructure, test/development environments, and disaster recovery.
Not content to simply describe the Virtual Volume (VVOL) framework, this session instead examines practical use cases: How different configurations and workloads benefit from VVOLs. Learn how Storage Policy Based Management (SPBM) couples with VVOLs to provide VM configuration options not previously available. We demonstrate a handful of real-life scenarios, specifically covering how VVOLs benefits oversubscribed systems, disaster recovery preparation and multi-tenant requirements for customers. Specific configuration options and constraints are covered in detail, including how they work with underlying storage.
Redis Conf 2019--Container Attached Storage for RedisOpenEBS
Kubernetes and containerized applications allow development teams to iterate fast, deploy efficiently and operate at scale. Kubernetes allows you to orchestrate containers that are highly available. However, in the case of container reschedule, Kubernetes does not provide a great set of primitives to manage your persistent data along with your application containers. In this talk, we will present some of the challenges associated with managing persistent data in Kubernetes and how we can make day 2 operations easier to manage. We will talk about a couple of approaches to solving data persistence problems in multi-cloud environments. During the demos, we will showcase how we address data replication and data encryption challenges.
This document provides guidance and best practices for migrating database workloads to infrastructure as a service (IaaS) in Microsoft Azure. It discusses choosing the appropriate virtual machine series and storage options to meet performance needs. The document emphasizes migrating the workload, not the hardware, and using cloud services to simplify management like automated patching and backup snapshots. It also recommends bringing existing monitoring and management tools to the cloud when possible rather than replacing them. The key takeaways are to understand the workload demands, choose optimal IaaS configurations, leverage cloud-enabled tools, and involve database experts when issues arise to address the root cause rather than just adding resources.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

Tighter Integration with Storage Arrays
1. Discover storage capabilities using VASA
• E.g. LUNs with auto-tiering/dedupe/thin provisioning
• Indicate LUNs with common diskpool.
2. Intelligent decisions in Storage DRS
• Proactively manage backing capacity for thin provisioning
• Keep deduplicated VMs together
• Don’t interfere with auto-tier I/O optimizations
• Storage DRS fixes I/O overload conditions
