Dimension data cloud for the enterprise architect

Dimension Data Enterprise Cloud

Problem: Early clouds were designed for basic workloads

Not Enterprise Class

Testing and Development

Temporary Workloads

Web Apps

Basic workloads


Enterprise class clouds require more than “best effort”

EnterpriseIntegration

Control Reliability

Orchestration

…which required internal IT to build or buy components and integrate.

Tolly CPU Test – Faster Processing

Notes: For Amazon Web Services, the number shown is the number of EC2 units. Neither IBM nor Rackspace offers a 1vCPU solution. IBM running RHEL 6.3, all others running Ubuntu 10.04LTS Server. All systems were 64-bit. Source: Tolly, July 2013

Dimension Data Provides 9x Bandwidth Throughput

Note: Neither IBM nor Rackspace offers a 1 vCPU solution. For this test, the Rackspace “small” machine has 2vCPUs and 2GB RAM. All tests run with a “large” system as a partner across low-latency, internal network. Throughput can exceed GbE because of 10GbE back-end trunking.
