Cloud Management Systems

Compute: To be able to launch, manage, and terminate VMs

Storage: To provide storage services for the VMs

Network: To provide network services for the VMs

Connectivity (inter-cloud, intra-cloud)

Isolation (multi-tenancy)

Security (Firewall)

Scalability (load balancers)


Cloud Management Systems

VMware: vCenter/vCloud Director

Microsoft: Hyper-V cloud management System

Citrix: XenServer, CloudStack

Open source: OpenStack


What is OpenStack?

“OpenStack is a cloud computing

project aimed at providing an

infrastructure as a service (IaaS).”

Hypervisor of choice

• ESXi, Xen, KVM, Hyper-V

Storage of choice

• Local storage/Network storage

SDN of choice

• OVS, NSX, Contrail, OpenDaylight

Connectivity to end point:

License server: should be able to reach outside the cloud

• For BLL based license, you need connectivity from GUI to license server

From GUI: Application should be able to reach the end-point

• Needs Floating IP, one per STC vm (openstack admin should have a block of IP addresses assigned from IT admin,

and inserted into the openstack as a floating IP pool)

Note: Make sure you “allow all” in the security settings, and use the “Hardware Based MAC” from the GUI

• Openstack does not allow MAC address emulation. Please refer to QSG.
