The Journey to the Cloud Today

DIY OpenStack Private Cloud

Public Cloud

Vendor-Driven Private Cloud


Unraveling the Options: Vendor-Driven Private Cloud

“ “We don’t want to be locked

into [insert vendor name].

- Large university

“ “I don’t have experts to build

and operate the cloud.

- Leading EDA firm


Unraveling the Options: DIY OpenStack Private Cloud

“ “

We have been trying to build

an OpenStack-based cloud for

6 months.

- Enterprise software vendor

“ “I don’t want my IT to be

developers

- Local municipality


Unraveling the Options: Public Cloud

“ “

We have used both EC2 and

internal OpenStack. We find the

private cloud to be 2-4x faster.

- Prominent retail brand

“ “

AWS looks cheaper but it is not.

You pay for everything and can’t

control the cost as you grow.

- Provider of analytics software


Goal: Create a Path to Simplify the Journey

Built in minutes… Not months…

Without the need for a team of rocket scientists.

A fully functional cloud…


The Best of Both Clouds

Public Cloud Private CloudCloud-Managed

Infrastructure

• Ease of use• No operational headaches• Pay as you grow

• Diminished control• Inconsistent performance• Compliance & security

• Greater control• Predictable performance• Data governance

• High software cost• Operational complexity• Requires specialists

Public Cloud Experience:• Deployed in minutes• No expertise necessary• Scale on demand

Private Cloud Control:• Maintain data ownership• Service reliability• Better user experience


A New Model of Cloud

Public Cloud Private Cloud

Cloud

On-Premises • Maintain control

and visibility

• Data locality, no

Cloud-Managed Infrastructure Advantages

Complex & time consuming to build a private cloud Bare metal to running applications in the cloud in minutes

Experts needed to operate on-premises cloud Eliminate IT headaches with SaaS-based operations

Inflexible scaling Symmetric, self-healing architecture that scales on demand

Glacial rate of software upgrades On-premises cloud with the feature agility of AWS

Disintegrated multi-site deployment Single interface to manage multiple sites

Then & Now: Building a Private Cloud

Then

Heavy lift involving significant investment and in-house expertise

Building a cloud is far too complex

Now (with ZeroStack)

Created in 30 minutes or less;No prior experience required

That was easy!


Building a Cloud with ZeroStack

1. Install the ZeroStack Cloud Building Blocks in your datacenter

• Rack & stack chassis

• Provide IP address

2. Discover the hosts using the ZeroStack Cloud Portal

• Connect through Port 443

• Register account

3. Configure the cloud

• Create schema (i.e. sites, business units, projects)

• Set policies

• Assign roles

• Provision resources


DEMO

Day 0: Cloud Creation

Then & Now: Resource Provisioning

Then

Lengthy process involving numerous stakeholders with conflicting priorities


Self-service with push-button provisioning, approval and cost tracking


DEMO

Day 1: Self-Service Provisioning

http://bit.ly/1legSSj


Then & Now: Troubleshooting

Then

• Difficult to operationalize event logs/metrics• Exponential rise in complexity with

additional components


Precisely trace events and correlate to root-cause issues

Then & Now: Capacity Planning

ThenShortage of data and/or context

for intelligent decisions

Now (with ZeroStack)Specific guidance based on analysis of usage patterns


Then & Now: Feature Upgrades

Then

Long delay before next version release


High feature velocity


Manual and error-prone process

Then & Now: Application Deployment

Then

Automated through templates



Then & Now: Fault Handling

Then

• Overprovisioned resources for HA• Manual intervention needed for fail-over


• Automated, self-healing architecture• Highly available by default
