2 The Convergence era Compute TOR Switch SAN NAS Compute / Storage Combined

3 We finally found the Killer app... But what if we add appliance capabilties and Policy-Based Management... 3

5 VMware Virtual SAN Hypervisor-Converged Storage Platform Software-defined storage software solution. Design to aggregates locally attached storage from each ESXi host in a cluster. vsphere + Virtual SAN Hybrid disk storage solution Magnetic disks (HDD) Flash based disks (SSD) VM-Centric data operations and policy driven management principles. Resilient design based on a Distributed RAID architecture No single points of failures Dynamic capacity and performance scalability

6 Virtual SAN Simplifies Storage If You Know vsphere, You Know Virtual SAN Two clicks to deploy! 6

7 Virtual SAN Simplifies And Automates Storage Management Per VM Storage Service Levels From a Single Self-tuning Datastore Per VM Storage Policies Policies Set Based on Application Needs Capacity Performance Software Automates Control of Service Levels Storage Policy-Based Management vsphere + Virtual SAN SLAs Availability Virtual SAN Shared Datastore No more LUNs/Volumes! 7

8 VM Storage Objects VM Home Namespace VM Swap VMDK Snapshot Delta A VM deployed on VSAN may have 4 different types of Storage Object Of course, there could be multiple VMDKs and snapshot deltas

10 Why Virtual SAN? Radically Simple High Performance Lower TCO Two click Install Single pane of glass Policy-driven Self-tuning Integrated with VMware stack Embedded in vsphere kernel Flash-accelerated Up to 2M IOPs from 32 nodes Granular and linear scaling Server-side economics No large upfront investments Grow-as-you-go Easy to operate with powerful automation No specialized skillset 10

11 Legacy Operational Model Creates Several Challenges Snapshot vsphere Storage Consumer Challenges: Lengthy provisioning cycles Difficult to make adjustments Lack of granular control Complex troubleshooting Frequent data migrations Replication Encryption Device Mgmt. Device Mgmt. SAN NAS Allflash Device Mgmt. Storage Provider Challenges: Fragmented device management Rigid capacity and data services allocation Complex LUN/Volume management 11

12 The Hypervisor Opens Up New Opportunities The Virtualization Platform: vsphere Knows the needs of all apps in real time Sits directly in the I/O path x86 Servers SAN / NAS Cloud Storage Global view of underlying infrastructure Hardware agnostic 12

13 Storage Policy-Based Management Simplifies Provisioning And Delivers Agility Today Today Storage Policy-Based Management Hardware centric Vendor specific management Static pre-allocation of shared storage container (LUN) Data services aligned to storage container SDS Application-centric Common management across heterogeneous devices Policy-based dynamic composition of services Granular control of data services to individual VMs Long provisioning cycles Overprovisioning of resources Management complexity Frequent data migrations Raid provisioning No overprovisioning of resources Efficiency through automation Simple change management

14 Hardware Requirements Any Server on VMware Compatibility Guide SAS/SATA/PCIe/NV Me SSD SAS/NL-SAS/SATA HDD At least 1 of each 1Gb/10Gb NIC SAS/SATA Controllers (RAID Controllers must work in pass-through or RAID0 mode 4GB to 8GB USB, SD Cards, SATADOM Minimum 3 ESXi 5.5 Hosts, Maximum Hosts I ll tell you later 15

16 VMware SDDC Approach End-User Computing Desktop Virtual Workspace Mobile Applications Traditional Modern SaaS Software-Defined Data Center Policy-Based Management & Automation Cloud Automation Cloud Operations Cloud Business Compute Abstraction = Server Virtualization Virtualized Infrastructure Abstract & Pool Network Abstraction = Virtual Networking Storage Abstraction = Software-Defined Storage Private Clouds Hybrid Cloud VMware & vcloud Data Center Partners Public Clouds Physical Hardware Compute Network Storage

17 The Software-Defined Data Center Expand virtual compute to all applications Transform storage by aligning it with app demands Virtualize the network for speed and efficiency Management tools give way to automation 18

18 The Software-Defined Data Center Transform storage by aligning it with app demands 19

19 Inside the Software-Defined Data Center Architectural Foundation for IT as a Service All infrastructure virtualized Delivered as a service Automated through software SDDC Implies a Fully Automated and Software Driven Operations Paradigm This Doesn t Imply Scripting, It Implies Policy and Orchestration Scripting is too brittle Policy Allows for Abstraction SDDC Benefits Services Oriented Architectures This is A PATH for Implementing Clouds, Not the ONLY PATH

21 IT Efficiency The Next Wave On-board the Cloud to provide agility Virtualization Dramatically Lowers Costs Reduces Complexity Improves High Availability Cloud Automation Accelerates Infrastructure and Application Service Delivery Times Optimizes Resource Utilization to Contain Costs Time

22 Cloud Management Key Solution Areas Cloud Automation Automate the delivery of infrastructure, applications and desktops as a service across multiple clouds and platforms Cloud Operations Manage the health, risk, efficiency and compliance of your infrastructure and applications across structured and unstructured data Cloud Business Improve Business/IT alignment and accelerate IT transformation by delivering complete transparency into the costs and quality of all IT services Simple, automated management for heterogeneous and hybrid clouds 23

27 Why Is Policy Critical? Because This Aligns To The Way Humans Interact As a consumer, I describe the service I want (I want a hamburger) As a provider, I describe the services I offer (I sell Big Mac / Giant ) A marketplace brings buyers and sellers together (Restaurants) This model has evolved over thousands of years. It works. For SDDC, the Policy Framework is the marketplace that brings together providers and consumers This serves to isolate layers, management frameworks can be implementation agnostic This reduces fragility and hides infrastructure changes from automation platforms Application owners can define a class of service they want without knowing how to make the hamburger This is not well understood today, partly because we have overloaded the Policy term 28

28 What Does SDS Use Policy For? Placement Put this VMDK on a Datastore that supports encryption Find a VVOL provider who supports replication Turn Features On or Off Enable (or disable) specific features Turn replication ON, Turn Dedupe ON, Schedule Snapshots Monitoring Checking to compare running state with desired state I asked for gold service. Did I get that? How many VMDK s asked for Gold? Remediation Fixing SLA violations based on policy VM x is running slow, move it to a compliant datastore Datastore y is running in a degraded state, evacuate it
