1 Is your IT network like Boston traffic? Unclog it with Network Capacity Planning How Moviri, Entuity and BMC Software can help you #movinar July 19, 2016

2 Why should I bother? Image by SignalPAD on flickr poor network performance has direct impact on business Network is 15% of datacenter cost 1 25% CAGR for IP network traffic 2 (1) The Cost of a Cloud: Research Problems in Data Center Networks. SigcommCCR Greenberg, Hamilton, Maltz, Patel. (2) Cisco Global cloud index: Forecast and methodology,

3 Right tools and techniques? I have a networking monitoring tool that sends me alerts any time a circuit is over capacity I already collect NetFlow information for every device I have this sophisticated Excel report I build every month Moving trucks hitting the overpasses on Storrow Drive has become an annual joke for people who live in Boston yearround, with some going as far as starting betting pools on when the first truck will strike the structures 3

4 #movinar agenda Your speakers today What is Network Capacity Planning? How can BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization help? How can Entuity help? Take-aways and next events Question & Answers 4

5 Your Speakers RENATO BONOMINI JOHN DIAMOND Director, Moviri Inc Background in Digital Signal Processing and High Performance Computing Expert in the architecture and design of Capacity Management and related processes Product Manager, Entuity Responsible for understanding the customer needs Guides future development of the product Participates in product 5

7 What is Network Capacity Planning? What is important, what capabilities are required, what approach to pursue

8 Network Capacity Planning: learn from the mistake of others DON T DO Confuse monitoring utilization with Capacity Management Wait for an automated event to take an action ( link utilization above threshold ) Use a generic approach one size fits all Look at trend lines Spend more time collecting data than using it Frame the problem understand your network is to your IT as a nervous system to a human body Identify goals (not exclusive) Risk mitigation Cost control Identify players (components) Adapt to shifting bottlenecks 8

9 What are we talking about? Access Core Edge Internet or IP WAN Scope of Network Capacity Management Devices: what runs the network Routers, Switches, Firewalls, Load Balancers Links: what connects the end points, and how Intra-location LAN Edge Inter-location WAN Datacenter A Core Applications: what Customers interact with Servers, Appliances, etc. DC to User traffic (17%*) DC to DC traffic (7%*) Traffic within DC (76%*) Access * Cisco Global Cloud Index: Forecast and Methodology, Datacenter B 9

10 How to get around Scope Limiting factor Question addressed Basic techniques Advanced techniques Devices Switches LAN Intra location Number of ports When will I run out of ports? Used ports forecast Load Balancers Firewalls Routers Backplane Utilization CPU, Memory Enough computational capacity? Devices Overview Correlate with packets, bandwidth or users Links WAN Inter location Bandwidth How much traffic can I push? Interfaces Utilization Interfaces Forecast Advanced Forecasts Correlate with users 10

11 How can BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization help? Examples of built-in analytics to help your day to day management and long term planning activities

12 Devices Overview Filter to select which part of your workspace Filters to allow focusing on specific types of devices Configure which columns are displayed 12

13 Used Ports Forecast Focus on LAN devices typical bottleneck Overall summary Quickly identify devices about to reach capacity 13

14 Interfaces Utilization Identify distributions of iface utilization 14

15 Interfaces Forecast Automated forecasts estimate saturation date 15

16 Advanced forecast Use network topology information to aggregate the links and network trunks Characterize traffic with descriptive statistics and identify KPIs. 95 percentile Define long term baselines, trends and thresholds Bandwidth capacity Generate automated forecasting Residual capacity Days to saturation S Daily AVG Daily MIN Daily peak Seasonality Warning area Trend of daily 95 percentile over time of bandwidth utilization Past Today Future Expected congestion date Time forecasting model algorithms for detecting trends in seasonal time series Linear - By Time Shifts Linear - Yearly Time Shift Holt-Winters Automated Box and Jenkins 16

17 Advanced: estimate residual capacity using business data Network usage and # of customers for each network element Correlate business with bandwidth and identify service demand Extrapolate how many customers can I support with +/- bandwidth Use marketing plan to simulate the impact of business growth MUX X users Y bit/s bandwidth users bandwidth users Network demand (X kbps per user) Available bandwidth 3VC4 2VC4 1 VC Number of supported customers Marketing Plan Expected Business Growth MUX? Available tools Correlation analysis univariate Correlation analysis multivariate Extrapolation models Check out Business Aligned Capacity Management with Truesight Capacity Optimization from CMG 2015 for a tutorial 17

18 How do we support these analyses and models? Collecting the right amount of data Which functionalities help Available integrations Officially supported Is 1, 5, 15 or hourly data good? We have found that a good compromise is importing hourly statistics (min/avg/max/percentiles) from data sources that poll data frequently Do I need all metrics for all devices? You can avoid importing detailed information from every interface in large LAN devices Import aggregated statistics Filter by device type (e.g. do you really need printers?) Import metrics according to device type Replicate structure of the data source (OBJ-REL) Scalable data import modules Built-in integrations Entuity HP NNMi Add-on packages from Marketplace CA ehealth Solarwinds Cacti Graphite Netcool Proviso Infovista Nagios Please contact Moviri for info 18
