Drivers for cloud deployment


REALITY CHECK

• Infrastructure is ALWAYS multivendor

• Data centers proliferate

• Existing infrastructure impedes progress

The World As It Is….Dispersed, Inefficient Infrastructure Pieces

OpEx

Productivity


Reaction: Waves of Consolidation

Server and application integration Virtual Desktop Infrastructure

Storage efficiency

Resource optimization

Integrated physical and virtual management

CAPEX and OPEX savings

Platform as a Service (PaaS)

Automation and orchestration

Fully application-aware virtual environments

Space efficiency

Business continuity

First Wave Second Wave Cloud Wave


Cloud = Seamless, Agile Application Delivery Platforms

1. Plan & Setup the Cloud• Capacity & consolidation planning• Asset discovery• Bare-metal provisioning• Policy setup

2. Build, Test & Deploy Appson the Cloud• Packaging apps as assemblies• Testing applications• Self-service provisioning

3. Manage & Monitor the Cloud• Auto-scaling• Full stack management• End-user, business-

level, app monitoring

4. Meter, Charge, Optimize• Metering resource utilization• Chargeback/Showback• Optimize performance,

capacity, QoS

A Model for a Working Cloud

Private Cloud Public CloudHybrid Cloud

• OpEx• Fast & inexpensive to start• Outsourced services• Multiple tenants sharing

resources

• CapEx & OpEx• Lower total costs• Control & visibility• Multiple apps sharing

resources

• Cloudbursting – overdraft for peak loads

• Dev/Test & production• B2B integration

Exclusive Shared by multiple organizations


Cloud storage challenges


Cloud Deployments Create Storage Challenges

Secure Multi-tenancy and Service Guarantees Scalability Agility Observability Availability

Attributes required for successful deployments


Multi-tenancy and Service Guarantees

Secure Separation of Assets– Can’t mix “Coke” with “Pepsi”

Prioritize I/Os by SLA Guarantees– Multiple I/O queues: Higher priority

I/Os executed first, regardless of received order

– Align performance with SLAs rather than who got there first

Combination Allows for Multi-Tenancy


Scalability

Performance means better service for all– Plentiful bandwidth for multiple applications

– Ability to provide services based on application type

Efficiency– In-line de-duplication and compression

– Thin provisioning to preserve resources until used

Seamless scaling– Global Name Spaces: Virtual file systems share ever-expandable mount points

– Non-disruptive expansion: Add either capacity or performance as needed

Use Resources Efficiently and Scale Invisibly


Agility

Automated pools – caches shared dynamically among applications Tiered storage – availability

of right-priced assets to reduce cost

Migration – automated data movement between tiers

Automated Data Placement

1TB DRAM

2PBDISK

READFlash

WRITEFlash


Observability

VM-specific views– Drill down – application to platter

– Real time storage workload management and monitoring

Granularity to application instance

Application-level Analytical Granularity


AvailabilityData Protection and Disaster Recovery that Spans the Infrastructure

• Speedy disaster recovery

• Short term backup and D/R integrity/performance

• Non-disruptive DR testing

• Business continuity

• Storage-based data protection

• Storage-based replication

Business Continuity — Protection for Mission Critical Data

Benefits


Case Studies


Pillar Axiom 600 Provided: – Quality of Service (QoS) provides

predictable performance and consolidation

– Non-Disruptive scale-out

StorageTek Tape: Saved >50% by offloading storage

SAM-FS ensures the right content is in the right place at the right time

Stephen SchleigerManager of Systems Engineering

“Oracle’s Pillar Axiom Storage Systems, with its QoS capabilities, …provide the performance, scalability and manageability we need for the long term.

Tape provides a much more robust and cost-effective disaster recovery. Oracle tape drives and libraries are an excellent solution.”


Case Study: Why a Copy on Tape is CriticalAn example from March 2011 Gmail Outage

Users Gmail accounts were suddenly empty of any messages, but Google

promised the emails were safely backed up to tape.

"To protect your information from unusual bugs, we also back it up to tape.

Since the tapes are offline, they’re protected from such software bugs,"

Google explained.

Reported in PCAuthority, 1 March 2011


• Rapid scale

• Reduced administrative overhead costs by 70%

• Acquired unique quality-of-service software and application-aware

• Ensured high levels of redundancy

Case StudyPillar Axiom Foundation for New Data Center


“Oracle’s Pillar Axiom 600 storage system costs less, and it provides better performance and greater support than any other vendor’s product we evaluated.”

Desh UrsCEO and President


Results with Oracle’s Sun ZFS Storage Appliances 3:1 consolidation replacement of existing NAS

platforms 12x faster in compute farm workload

benchmarks 5x faster in database test suite execution 3x faster with twice the snap/clone data copies

in Oracle application environments 50% reduction in tuning and trouble-shooting
