What is your perspective of Cloud Computing?
“Once upon a time, there were six blind men. The blind men wished to know what an elephant looked like. The six blind men all perceived one aspect of the elephant and were each right in their own way, but none of them knew what the whole elephant really looked like.”
Your definition of something may depend on your perspective…
It’s like a rope!
It’s like a wall!
It’s like a fan!
It’s like a snake!
It’s like a spear!
It’s virtualization!
It’s automation!
It’s statelessness!
It’s on-demand computing!
Cloud Computing
It’s a self-service portal!
Its “Anything as a Service” (XaaS)!

Infrastructure Challenges Islands of technology: Implemented in a complex and fragmented nature Hardware & Software out of Support Unpredictable & spiraling support costs
Capacity breaks everything Productivity/efficiency challenges Complex architecture only meant to be temporary No “Uniform Scale”

Presentation Notes
Blade – 10 U 16 servers Hard to build an Opex Model – Always forklift upgrades Example of adding the 9th or 17th blade needs a new chassis Results in buying a rack mount server Cable for connectivity – IO consolidation Biggest Consumer of waste– Waste – RAID 10 50% disks – 12-16 cables per server VDI Failures North South Switching
Options ?
• Bolt on Aftermarket Extension’s
• Marginal Gain (if any)
• Increased Management and Cost
• Refresh Infrastructure
• Same Service • Same Challenges • Maybe Different
Badge
• Move to a Cloud Model
• Defined SLA’s • Validated
Infrastructure • Reduce Cost /
Service Improvement
• Delivered via “As a Service” models

Presentation Notes
Management is Key Re-badge and call it Cloud Tomorrow isnt any different Traditional DC never built for Virtualisation Move to Cloud not all about saving money -> service improvement

1# Standardise and Simplify
Critical Vendor Choice – Time to be strategic….
Data Storage for a Particular Purpose (SAN/NAS)?
Multiple Points of Backup and Data Protection
Multiple Points of Management & Control
Can you Workflow, Automate and Orchestrate so many vendor products??
Reduce the Points of Management…
Reduce Cost & Increase Agility
Presenter
Presentation Notes
Forget the HP or Dell, lets look at best of breed technology Lets try and virtualise / unify as much as we can? Why? Ease Management – Imagine if I had a single management entry point to provision network and server Imagine if I had a single management entry point to provision storage and virtual machines Imagine if I had a single management point to monitor backups, archival, replication for DR Our centralized management tools with simplified processes require fewer administrators for overall system management. Our Open Management Framework enables integration with management vendors such as BMC, CA, SCOM, vCloud, Cisco IA and others to enable orchestrated operations across the entire infrastructure stack.
2# Drive Down I/O Consolidation
Chassis Mgmt
Fibre Channel Blade Switch Mgmt
Ethernet Blade Switch Mgmt
Ethernet Switch Mgmt
FC Switch Mgmt
Provide Hypervisor Visibility and/or Pass Through
• Reduce Cables
• Native 10Gbps – Not for Bandwidth, I/O Consolidation and Simplification (10 Cables to 1)
• Cloud Style Infrastructure Should Provide ALL Protocols
• Reduce Modules/Ancillary Components
• Reduce Switchports
Reduce Cost & Increase Utilisation

Virtual Clones Save up to 80% using writable virtual copies; only changed data uses capacity
Thin Replication Save up to 95% capacity with our disk-to-disk data protection
Snapshot Copies Save 80% capacity; only changed data uses storage
Storage Tiering Better use of EFD, SAS & SATA disks
Deduplication Reclaim up to 95% capacity for full backups; 45% on average
Thin Provisioning Liberate 20% to 33% of your capacity

Virtualizing the Compute layer.

We provide the platform which allows us to deploy a scale up or out solution. Elastic Scalability You need more storage.. We add more disks? You need more CPU/RAM – Remember the servcie – We deploy more blades We make better use of networking whilst not limiting bandwidth or introducing risk
