Define your vContainer Do not think about products, operational complexity, technology and so on. Think about the service you need, think about your functional requirements
Define it : Compute & storage • vCPU(Virtual Processing power) : • Quantity of vCPU required, the underlying type of CPU’s (nr of cores etc) is no longer relevant • vRAM (Random access memory): • Amount of memory expressed in GB • vStorage (Storage): • Amount of net storage required (GB or TB) • Located in 2 physically separated Belgian datacenter • Several tiering : • Capacity disks (sata disks): Disk used to store large amount of data with limited (I/O) performance. • Performance disks (FC Disks): Disk used to store data with high (I/O) performance. • Virtual Storage : storage replication and synchronization between physical separated datacenters presented to customer as a virtual storage
Define it : Back-up & restore • Back-up is offered as a service and not one of the functionalities within the vContainer • Block-based backup • Virtual machine level granularity • Daily incremental back-ups • Weekly full back-ups (one month retention time) • Restores are considered as a change and are performed respecting the SLA timers • File based backup • Organized by the customer inside his vContainer • Can be provided as an additional service from STAAS portfolio (server backup advanced) • Snapshot function available inside vContainer
Define it : Security • Network security • Network topology built by customer • 2 layered firewalls : • External firewall under Belgacom control • Edge gateway inside vContainer under control of the customer • Access to the vContainer: • HTTPS • SSL VPN • Belgacom Explore • Password protection • Application security • Inside the vContainer ... responsibility of the customer
Define it : vContainer flavors • Shared vContainer • Shared physical platform • Shared management infrastructure • Standardized • Redundant on 2 DC • Delivery time reduced • Dedicated vContainer • Dedicated physical platform • Dedicated management platform • Tailored made • Mixed • vContainer • Dedicated compute/security platform • Shared management platform • Tailored made
vContainer shared architecture Shared infrastructure
vContainer dedicated architecture Dedicated infrastructure Shared infrastructure
vContainer mix architecture Shared infrastructure Dedicated infrastructure Shared infrastructure
Define it : SLA Service availability*: Availability of servers expressed as a monthly percentage and calculated as follows (excluding planned interventions): ((total service hours per month – total service hours downtime per month)/total service hours time per month)*100%.
Define it: Pricing Models • Shared infrastructure (order form) • Reserved model • (multi) year(s) basis with no refund principle. • Pay as you use • Monthly contracts stopped whenever customer wants to : • Used GHz • Used vRAM GB • Used disk capacity • Mix of both • Dedicated infrastructure (tailor made) Possibilities to get additional services like consulting, project management,…
How to define my vContainer? Do not think about products, operational complexity, technology and so on. Think about the service you need, think about your functional requirements • What are your infrastructure requirements for your applications/vApp? vCPU - memory - storage capacity – networking - security requirements • Does my business require a standard or a customized ICT environment? shared or dedicated vContainer • How critical is your ICT environment for your business? • degree of redundancy • Type of SLA : Silver - Gold • Which pricing model? • Reserved – PPU – Mixed on both
Additional key features • Support multiple operating systems from windows NT 4 up to windows 2012 – Linux – Solaris - MacOS • Windows OS licences included* • Possibility for customer to use his own Microsoft application licences* • Belgacom predefined virtual machines and vApp • Upload/download virtual machines/vApp from/to vContainer • Upload room available never underestimate the bandwidth of a truck full of tapes • Demo environment available for customer free of charge * Some restrictions may applied
Hybrid cloud - vConnector Cloud Ready Infrastructure with a vision on the future
vContainer = vCloud™ Powered • A technology badge • Belgacom is among the first in BeLux to obtain it • Easy to locate through: http://vcloud.vmware.com/vcloud-ecosystem#view=vcp • Guarantee that the solution is based on VMware vSphere™ and VMware vCloud Director. • Give confidence in secure VMware-based clouds. • Expose the VMware vCloud API. • Support the Open Virtualization Format for image upload and download.
vContainer casessome examples • Test & development environments • IT solution provider (SAAS,…) • Project based application • Training environment • Split up application tiers (traffic/security ...) • Spin up workloads for traffic spike (temporary capacity) • DRS purposes • …. vContainer but basically, anything is possible the business defines the requirements, the service fills in the requirements
vContainer conclusion vContainer is a BeCloud IaaS solution that offers : • Solution based on market proven and leading technology: A-Brand infrastructure components. • Intended for clients looking for a solution which provides a high level of flexibility, autonomy • Advanced technical features allowing strict SLA • Hybrid cloud ready • Financial flexibility (Reserved / pay as you use model)
