The Technology and the Business Side of Cloud

Cloud computing is a model for

enabling convenient,

on-demand network access to a

shared pool of configurable

computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and

services) that can be rapidly

provisioned and released with

minimal management effort or service provider interaction.*

OpenStack IBM Solutions Partnerships

IBM is a platinum sponsor of

OpenStack Foundation

OpenStack open source code

can manage IBM compute,

network and storage resources

OpenStack supports x86, POWER

Systems and z System mainframe

IBM offers OpenStack Cinder

interfaces on most of its major

storage products and OpenStack

Swift interfaces for object access

IBM offerings are based on

OpenStack open source code with

value-added proprietary

features from IBM

IBM Cloud Orchestrator

supports a variety of server

hypervisors. IBM BlueBox and

IBM PowerVC provide additional

features

IBM Spectrum Control™ provide

reporting, provisioning, trouble

shooting and chargeback

capabilities for storage

VMware and Microsoft are

entirely proprietary, but have a

large market share for x86-based

server infrastructure

IBM was VMware’s first partner

since 1998. IBM has expanded its

partnership with VMware, offering

new cloud tools to make it even

easier for enterprises.

Cloud Storage Taxonomy

Reference Storage

• Archives

• Images/Video

• WORM/NENR

Compliance

Ephemeral Storage

• Typically boot volumes,

page files and temporary data

• Goes away when VMis shutdown

Persistent Storage

• Persists across

VM reboots

• Can be shared between VMs

• Transactional

• High Performance

Storage as the Storage CloudStorage for Compute Cloud

Hosted Storage

• File and Object access

• Enterprise File Sync & Share

• Backup/Disaster Recovery

Cloud Storage Overview

Block

File

Object

Reference

Hosted

Ephemeral

Persistent

• Block storage offerings are differentiated by speed/throughput (as measured in IOPS) and segmented by lifecycle of the disk. Device location does not matter.

• Ephemeral storage is tied to the lifecycle of a single VM (i.e. it is provisioned when the VM is provisioned and destroyed when the VM is destroyed)

• Persistent storage has a lifecycle independent of any single VM and can be provisioned/destroyed at any time and attached/detached to many VMs during it’s life

• File-based offerings are uncommon among providers, especially among those targeting cloud native applications

• Primarily targeted at cloud enabled workloads

• Usage is being replaced in new application development with online object storage

• Object storage offerings are differentiated by the durability of the data (i.e. odds of irrecoverable loss) and segmented by the availability of the data (i.e. time required to retrieve)

• An object in online storage is immediately accessible

• An object in archival storage may require minutes to hours to be accessible

Unified Management Experience

• Remote Office, Branch Office. Provide high

availability storage to smaller or distributed

organizations such as banks and schools through disaster recovery and other capabilities, using less

expensive hardware.

• Flexible deployment. Deploy test/dev or ad-hoc

project environments and later repurpose hardware

for other needs. Mix online transaction processing and new applications like analytics.

• Hybrid Cloud. Seamlessly move workloads between

on-premise and off-premise deployments.

• Disaster recovery. Mirror to the cloud or to a data

center server running IBM Spectrum Accelerate. Use powerful snapshots to execute backup to

on-premise servers

Data-at-Rest Encryption

• Files are encrypted by application node• Each file assigned random File-key

• Master-key granularity by file or fileset,

determined by policies• IBM SKLM stores Master-keys, and nodes must

have appropriate RKM credentials• Data is encrypted from application node all the

way to NSD (flash or disk) media

• FIPS 140-2 certified

Secure Erase• Files are cryptographically erased by deleting

their Master-key• Files that “stay” are re-Mastered to new key

How is Object Storage Different?

Block and File Storage

– Decide where to put it

• For block, which array/volume/LUN

• For file, which filer/subdirectory

– Remember where it is to get it back

– Read/Write records, append data

– Limits on LUN size, number of files

Object Storage

– Provide data over to the Object storage • Get “claim stub” reference locator

– Use or share “claim stub” to access data HTTP, Openstack Swift, S3

– Get/Put/Delete object in its entirety– Effectively “unlimited” scalability
