History

• 27 Years of Client/Server Computing• 20 Years of Internet Computing• 11 Years of Virtualization 1.0• 10 Years of “Cloud”

• Phenomenal, unprecedented growth of computing applications

• Same old IT Infrastructure management model

Infrastructure Management

• Physical Datacenter Risks– Procurement– Standards– Interference– Expertise

• Virtual Datacenter Risks– Interference– Exceeding Resource

• IT Provisions all resource, physical and virtual

Virtualization 1.0 Issues

• Virtual Machine Sprawl– Overwhelming growth/volume– Disconnected IT Infrastructure Team

• High Provisioning Effort– Lack of agility

• Poor Capacity Planning and Utilization– Failure to deliver cost savings

• Security/Compliance– Segregation and risk limiting adoption

• Vendor Lock-In– High purchase cost– Very high maintenance cost

Contention

The unprecedented growth of both applications, and their complexity,

renders the current IT infrastructure management model unsustainable.

The model must evolve.

Separation

• Resource Cloud Providers– Local– Remote– IaaS– Hosting Providers

• Resource Cloud Consumers– Enterprises– Datacenters– Appliances– Virtual Machines, Storage and Networking

Delegation

Virtualization 1.0 Management Model

Virtualization 2.0 Management Model

Policy Based Allocation

• Functional– Hypervisor– Resources

• Corporate Standards– Data Security– Compliance /Segregation– Cost

• Operational– Overloading

• Enterprise Preferences– Performance– Resilience

Stakeholders

• IT Infrastructure Team– Controls provision of resources to the Resource Cloud– Maintains physical infrastructure– Purchases additional resource as required– Ensures service levels are met– Creates Virtual Enterprises and sets Resource Limits

• Virtual Enterprise Administrators– Control consumption of Resource Cloud– Manage Enterprise Users– Manage/Delegate Virtual Datacenter Management

• CIO– Dictates Workload Policy

Benefits

• Reduced IT Infrastructure Load– Focus on physical infrastructure & service levels– Drop ‘disconnected’ virtual machine management– Eliminate deployment risk– Standardization maintained– Capacity planning becomes a reality

• Increased Agility– On demand VM deployment in seconds– Temporary projects, “what/if” scenarios

• Increased Utilization– Enforced resource limits encourage efficiency

• Security/Compliance– Policy based workload allocation

Resource Use Cases

• Enterprise Datacenters– Centralized Management– Elasticity

• Local physical infrastructure• Remote physical infrastructure• Purchased resource

• Development Teams– Rapid Deployment and Flexibility

• Hosting Providers– Sell Virtual Enterprises– Sell Resources

• SMEs

– Fully Cloud Located

Extensions

• Billing and Chargeback– Allocated Resources– Consumed Resources

• Brokered Resource Provision– Standards– Resource Marketplace– Dynamic Load Shifting

• Active Load Monitoring

• Energy Efficiency– Dynamic Resource Power Control
