Transform Your Data Center into a Private Cloud STORAGE Discover, classify, and allocate storage for use by the private cloud. Provide the correct storage for use with appropriate access. COMPUTE Deploy your compute resources, taking them from bare metal to fully deployed for your physical and virtualization hosts. NETWORK Abstract your complex networking infrastructure into logical networks for cloud use. Assign IP, virtual IP, and MAC addresses from pools and integrate with load balancers. CLUSTER Consolidate your infrastructure componenents for use in a private cloud.

OPTIMIZE STORAGE INFRASTRUCTURE UTILIZATION Virtual Machine Manager

Utilize Storage More Effectively END-TO-END MAPPING Create associations between storage and VM through reconciling data from Hyper-V and storage arrays Identify storage consumed by VM, host, and cluster CAPACITY MANAGEMENTRAPID PROVISIONING Add storage to a host or cluster through masking operations, initialization, partitioning, formatting, and CSV cluster resource creation Add storage capacity during new cluster creation Create new VMs leveraging the SAN to copy the VHD Utilize SMI-S copy services and replication profiles Deploy to host or cluster at scale

Storage Allocation Process SMI-S Provider Virtual Machine Manager Tier 1Tier 2 Assign existing LUNs to hosts and clusters Create new LUNs from pool and assign to hosts and clusters Allocate storage to specific host groups Create storage classification pools and associate with storage Discover storage through SMI-S provider Host Group

LOGICAL ABSTRACTION FOR THE NETWORK INFRASTRUCTURE Virtual Machine Manager

Network Management LOGICAL NETWORKS Classify network for VMs to access Map to network topology Allocate to hosts and clouds ADDRESS POOLSLOAD BALANCERS Allocate a static IP address to VMs from a preconfigured pool Create IP pool as a managed range of IP address assignments Create MAC address pool as a managed range of MAC address assignments Apply settings for load balancer capability in service deployment Control load balancer through vendor provider based on PowerShell Create virtual IP templates consisting of load balancer configuration settings

“ZERO TO CLUSTER” THE FOUNDATION FOR YOUR PRIVATE CLOUD Virtual Machine Manager

Hyper-V cluster Zero to Hyper-V Cluster Bare-Metal Server VMM Server Configure storage Configure network Configure Boot and install Storage Network

Host Clusters Bring the Fabric Together CREATION Use wizard-based experience Support cluster validation Allocate cluster disks from managed storage Create cluster-wide virtual network MANAGEMENTDELETION Add and remove nodes, cluster disks, and virtual networks Drag and drop host to add node to cluster Monitor cluster health and status Clustered hosts will become managed standalone hosts Clustered disks will be returned to managed storage

Add Nodes from Host Group Specify hosts from chosen host group to add to cluster. Skip validation. If desired, validate later.

Configurable IP Addressing on Cluster Creation Detected IP pool and Logical Network. Administrator selected the IP pool, and used an assigned address from the pool. Detected IP pool and Logical Network. Administrator manually specified the exact address from this pool. Neither an IP pool nor a Logical Network discovered. Administrator assigned manual IP address.

Assign Storage on Cluster Creation Assign existing LUNs allocated to host group. Enable CSV support for cluster shared volumes.

BUILD YOUR PRIVATE CLOUD, YOUR WAY, THROUGH ABSTRACTION Virtual Machine Manager

Data Center TwoData Center One Development Production Create the Private Cloud Logical & Standardized Cloud Abstraction Production Development

Logically Group Your Resources into Clouds Create clouds for specific needs View deployed services and VMs Overprovision across cloud resources

Connect to Physical Infrastructure Components Aggregate capacity of underlying resources Choose your logical network abstractions Choose the types of storage available

Control Amount of Cloud Resources Place limits around physical resources consumed by cloud Dynamically adjust resource limits as needs change

Control the Types of VMs for Self-Service Users Set constraints and limits around VMs with capability profiles Attach to clouds to control usage

LEVERAGE YOUR HETEROGENEOUS VIRTUALIZATION INVESTMENT Virtual Machine Manager

Leverage Your Existing Investments CONSISTENCY Offer same capabilities with different hypervisors Use the same network abstractions Deploy VMs and applications in a consistent manner CHOICESIMPLICITY Microsoft Hyper-V VMware vSphere 4.1 Citrix XenServer 6.0 Abstract the hypervisor layer to decrease complexity Simplify migration between virtualization solutions Use the same methods to manage virtualization and deploy services to different hypervisors
