- 2. IT Infrastructure Challenges Long Recovery Times • Long recovery times from hardware failure Backup • Idle / passive / under-utilized resources Idle/Passive = Wasted Standby Servers Hardware Server/OS Clustering Complex Server Applications • Complex application or server-based clustering makes it difficult and expensive to expand • Expensive hypervisor and shared storage • Management costs expand with infrastructure growth Virtualization

Editor's Notes
- Key Points – on slideComments: Need to train sales people to NOT mention GPFS
- Ways people are /have tried to solve the problem… talk about the gaps … introduce virtualization as percieved holy grail but … has issues of it’s own Backup and Recovery SystemsLong time to recoverHistorically unreliableStandby Server HardwareCostly, resources sitting idleLengthy RecoveryServer and OS ClusteringComplex to setup and manageAvailable for specific applications onlyRequires more expensive OS and application licensesRequires duplicate server hardware, usually sitting idleRequires networked or replicated storageVirtualized Infrastructure
- ServersShared StorageHypervisor LicenseSwitchManagementServicesImplementationManagementP2V MigrationHere is a typical virtualized environment, representative of the infrastructure required to do an ordinary P to V, first time virtualization deploymentVMs run on physical servers, with a separated management server for running the VM tools.Underneath admins must become familiar with the hypervisor systems and nuance, such as managing VMFS under Vmware. VMs are created at this layer, and then must be configured to connect to both the virtual network as well as the physical network. Likewise, the VMs are configured to communicate with storage via yet another network, with various tradeoffs to be weighed between common storage protocols, typically ISCSI or NFS.These then connect to a public network and to a storage network, each of which must be maintained with tools for that infrastructure. From there, the connection is made to a storage controller for a SAN or to a NAS device, with their own set of management tools and knowledge requirements. It is here where storage is provisioned and managed for eventual use at the VM layer.Finally, a connection is made the to physical disks themselves. ---Now, with hyperconvergence, many of these layers go away entirely. VMs run natively on the storage itself. All of those extra layers and the associated management requirements go away. Although this is running on a clustered architecture, to the end user, this is as easy to manage as a single server, with VMs communicating with storage as direct attached (DAS). It is the method by which admins are already familiar, it is the easiest way to manage their infrastructure, and it eliminated the complexity barrier to making this move from P to V.The easiest way to manage a SAN and to manage a hypervisor is to eliminate them from the management stack entirely. That’s what Scale has done.
- Key points- on slide, this is everything you need… connect your power and network … say goodbye to separate servers and SANsTurnkey virtualization and storage platform … built in hypervisor, no extra software to buyIntegrated redundancy and high availability
- Key points – Availability with Simplicity
- And here are what the analysts are saying. Right time, right place, right channel, right product. The future of IT.
- Highlight hypervisor software, management software and all hardware included and integrated … no Vmware licensing or vtax!HC³ is easy to buy with systems under $30,000 MSRP (street pricing may be lower)
