IST & VMware ESX: What we did

2010 | The Sky’s the Limit Agenda IST Setup o POD design o Usage o Scalability & Capital Cost o Reliability VM as a Service

2010 | The Sky’s the Limit Overview VMware ESXi 4.1 Dell & Netapp

2010 | The Sky’s the Limit Pod Design POD = Compute Nodes + Storage

2010 | The Sky’s the Limit Pod Design POD = Compute Nodes + Storage PODS o Development

2010 | The Sky’s the Limit Pod Design POD = Compute Nodes + Storage PODS o Development o Production – MC (Primary)

2010 | The Sky’s the Limit Pod Design POD = Compute Nodes + Storage PODS o Development o Production – MC (Primary) o Production – PHY (Secondary)

2010 | The Sky’s the Limit Compute Detail - Server Embedded boot device LOTS of RAM!

2010 | The Sky’s the Limit Compute Detail - Network Five 1Gig interfaces o 2 interfaces for management o 2 interfaces for VM traffic o 1 OOB KVM host management 10Gig

2010 | The Sky’s the Limit Compute Detail - Storage NFS Dedupe = 50% (2:1)

2010 | The Sky’s the Limit POD Services vMotion SvMotion VMware DRS VMware HA & FT

2010 | The Sky’s the Limit VM Count Dev = templates Prod-MC = 40 Prod-PHY = 15 Total = % Linux, 65% Windows

2010 | The Sky’s the Limit Dev POD cost - 3 years Dev Servers = 3 * $30K Dev Storage = $60K Total cost = $150K VMs = 100 Simple amortized cost = $500/vm/year

2010 | The Sky’s the Limit Further Cost Projections Typical VM uses 2.4GB RAM Thus a total of ~200 VM Total cost drops to $250/vm/year

2010 | The Sky’s the Limit Reliability 95% < X < 100% No data loss Selected service outages Mitigation

2010 | The Sky’s the Limit Challenges VMware license renewal USB devices Reactive not proactive capacity

2010 | The Sky’s the Limit VM as a service Why What When

2010 | The Sky’s the Limit Why – Why not Cost Deployment time Management

2010 | The Sky’s the Limit What 1-2 vCPU (1.8Ghz) CPU 1-2 GB/RAM 20-40GB storage $600/year

2010 | The Sky’s the Limit What Part 2 Console access – you can install VM Firewall Load Balancer AC/Power/Monitoring/Security/etc

2010 | The Sky’s the Limit “SLA” Best effort

2010 | The Sky’s the Limit When Now – CEL & IQC already
