EXISTING EMERGING

● Dynamic applications that scale

to meet demand

● Open source is well understood

and widely adopted

● Software-defined infrastructure

across compute, networking, and storage

● Compressed innovation cycle ● IT as a competitive advantage ● Applications with predictable

usage models

● Open source perceived as

unknown and risky

● Compute-centric infrastructure ● Long innovation cycle

● IT as a cost center

Challenges With Traditional Infrastructure

●

Our data is too large

●

We're producing vast amounts of data, exponentially!

●

Way past the ability of traditional systems & applications

●

Scaling UP no longer works. Scaling OUT is a necessity

●

Service requests are too large

●

More and more client devices coming online

●

Much harder to maintain service to customers

(4)

(5)

● Modular architecture

● Designed to easily scale out

● Based on (growing) set of core services

(6)

Why OpenStack?

●

Brings public cloud-like capabilities into your datacenter

●

Provides massive on-demand (scale-out) capacity

●

1,000's → 10,000's → 100k's of VMs

●

Removes vendor lock-in

●

Open source provides high-degree of flexibility to customize and

inter-operate

●

Community development = higher “feature velocity”

●

Features and functions you need, faster to market over

Top OpenStack Priorities

● 44% Increased emphasis on certified

hardware

● 44% commercial OpenStack support

● 43% integration with open source

management initiatives

Plan to use OpenStack APIs to enable management integration across infrastructure

Expect vendors will leverage OpenStack in next-generation products

OpenStack: Framework for the Cloud

● Needs to access x86 hardware resources

● Needs an operating environment, hypervisor, services ● Leverages existing code libraries for functionality

(10)

Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform

● It is dependent on the underlying Linux

(11)

A typical OpenStack cloud is made up of at least 9 core services + plugins to interact with 3rd party systems

● These services run on top of a Linux distribution with a complex set of

user space integration dependencies

● OpenStack cannot be productized as a stand alone layer

● A supported, stable platform requires integration and testing of each of the

components

“If your Windows virtual machine hosted by a KVM hypervisor running on an IBM blade, connecting to an EMC storage array through an Emulex HBA

has issues with storage corruption, who do you call?”
