3. Why Private Cloud?

4. Data Center Challenges
Cost pressures
Slow Service Delivery
Lack of Flexibility
Lack of Transparency
Too Little Automation

5. Promise of Enterprise Private Cloud Computing
Lower Costs
Reduce upfront capital expense
Automate to reduce ongoing administration costs
Increased Agility
Dynamic configuration of IT resources
Respond quickly to business demands
Self-service provisioning
Greater Control and Security
Data remains inside the firewall
Standard enterprise security

6. SUSE Cloud Strategy

7. Computing Strategy Public Cloud: Private Cloud: Hybrid Cloud:
Broadly deploy SUSE Linux Enterprise Server through SUSE Cloud Service Provider Program
Private Cloud:
Deliver cloud infrastructure solution powered by OpenStack
Hybrid Cloud:
Tightly integrate SUSE Studio and SUSE Manager with SUSE Cloud to deliver a platform and tools that enable enterprise hybrid clouds

8. Why OpenStack? Customer demand for an OpenStack solution
Has the greatest industry support and most vibrant community among open source cloud software projects
– Essex Release had contributions from 200 developers and 55 companies
In the long-run the vibrancy of the community will lead to more rapid innovation than competing projects
The formation of the OpenStack Foundation helps to ensure:
– Long-term viability of the project
– Project's development goals benefit industry and not one vendor

9. SUSE Participation in the OpenStack Project
Committed to joining the OpenStack Foundation as a platinum member, which means we will offer:
– Financial support
– Engineering support
– Legal support (helping to draft the bylaws)
Early technical contributions focused on making OpenStack ready for production
– Hardening and securing the Essex release
– Making deployment and ongoing maintenance easier
– Improved Xen Hypervisor support
Starting with the Folsom release, SUSE plans to contribute more features and functionality

10. SUSE Cloud Overview

Makes it easy to build and manage cloud applications for multiple cloud environments – Hybrid Cloud

15. SUSE Cloud Features and Functionality

16. The SUSE Cloud Stack
The OpenStack solution consists of a number of sub-projects that are referred to as the OpenStack Core. RackSpace, the original sponsor of OpenStack, defined areas that are not part of OpenStack but are areas of potential enhancements.
OpenStack Core:
Nova – Creates, controls, and manages virtual machines (similar to EC2)
Swift – Cloud object storage (similar to Amazon S3)
Glance – Cloud image repository (similar to SUSE Gallery)
Dashboard – Web based UI for both administration and end user tasks
Keystone – Identity management module
There are three areas where SUSE is enhancing OpenStack:
1 – SUSE engineering is in the process of integrating OpenStack components with SUSE Linux Enterprise Server. Just as we do with Linux, our OpenStack product will benefit from increase levels of integration, QA and security analysis. It is our intent to provide a product that is stable, secure, and easy to install. Note that any improvements or fixes (security or functional) that we make to the code will be contributed back upstream.
2 – Integration with SUSE Manager for monitoring of both physical and virtual SLES images.
3 – Integration with SUSE Studio to facilitate the creation of new or migration of existing workloads to the private cloud. Customers also benefit from the certified ISV applications available on SLES.

SUSE intends to provide two releases of our cloud offering in 2012
The first release is based on OpenStack Essex and is in beta test currently, with general availability planned for mid-summer. The focus areas for this release are integration with SUSE Linux Enterprise as the base OS, as well as security testing, installation automation, and integration with the SUSE maintenance and support process. SUSE Studio integration will include the ability to create and launch SLES images directly from Studio into the cloud..
The second release at the end of the year, will be based on OpenStack Folsom. The focus areas for this release will be a robust upgrade process, improved resilience for the control node and additional hypervisor support. Folsom will include a number of new capabilities including a project called Quantum which provides enhanced virtual networking features.
