5. The Question: Why IT needs to involve?
Why are cost of operations so high?
Why doesn’t the infrastructure look more like
Why does it take so long to provision new services?
I know my infrastructure needs to change/evolve, but where do I start?
Why are customer thinking about and moving their workloads to the Cloud?
What did it mean to your Business?

10. 5 reasons to evolve your IT
1. IT priorities are changing (move to agility/as-a-service, reduce complexity, rise of the IT
generalist)
2. IT budgets are changing (‘do more with less’)
3. Application requirements are changing (pets vs livestock, mobile, social etc)
4. Technology advancements make it possible (Virtualization/Containers, emergence of Flash,
Compute density/Moore’s Law, 10GbE and SDN, 3DXpoint)
5. Your business demands it!
11. I use and pay for just what I
need, only when I need it.
The Cloud Has Reset IT Expectations
I can deploy my application
in five minutes.
Rapid Time to Market
I don’t spend time on low-level
infrastructure management.
One-click Simplicity
Fractional IT Consumption
My infrastructure gets better
on a regular basis.

PERFORMANCE AND AVAILABILITY
• Data is written locally
• Replicated on other nodes for high availability (parallel)
• Replicas are spread across cluster for high performance
21. SEAMLESS VM MIGRATION
• vMotion activity due to resource constraints or maintenance
• Metadata service can access data from anywhere
• Locality improves over time

22. Tunable Redundancy
WHAT IS IT
• Configure different levels of fault
tolerance for different applications
dynamically
• Works with EC-X (Erasure Coding)
for capacity savings
POINTS OF DIFFERENTIATION
• Software-defined. No prior
understanding of storage required
• RF=3 offers protection against two
simultaneous disk, node or NIC failures
• Switch between RF=2 and RF=3
• Replication set at the container level

• Background process that intelligently
parity encodes data
• SW Defined: “Chunks (1-4MB)” are the
building blocks
• Shared rebuild load across cluster nodes
ensures optimal performance
24. WHAT IS IT
• Place data intelligently across
availability domain boundaries
• Requires minimum of 3 blocks for
block awareness
BENEFITS
• Intelligent placement of replicas to
protect against failure of block
