About PlateSpin 2nd
Case Study Global F500 Financial Services Company Complex mix of servers distributed across many different regions Hundreds servers including Dell, HP, IBM, and VMware ESX Servers Objective Move the entire data center from Japan to Australia Business Pain Management challenge across wide geographic area Poor visibility into server utilization Approach Inventory, measure, and analyze usage trends with PowerRecon Consolidate servers to a VMware ESX virtual environment Automate the server migrations with PlateSpin PowerConvert
Case Study PowerRecon for visibility into their server landscape Complete picture of the data center Discovered servers that they previously didn't know existed Gathered detailed usage trends that showed exactly which servers were underutilized and ripe for consolidation. PowerConvert automated the consolidation Remotely controlled the migrations, no physical contact with the source or target servers was required Adjusted and right-sized configurations on-the-fly Results Multiple concurrent conversions saved weeks if not months of labor Remote control saved tens of thousands of dollars compared to any other available mechanism for migrating the servers Total servers migrated = 1000+
Workload Relocation Workload Protection Workload Provisioning Workload Optimization Case StudyESSENT - Netherlands Market on ramps Mandate to shrink 3 datacenters into one Wanted to standardize IT infrastructure Focus on minimizing risk Profile customer 700 servers and growing 100 per year A mix of virtual and physical moves Moving from HP to IBM hardware Solution Looked at VMware Converter initially – no P2P, V2P PowerRecon to monitor the existing estate for new hardware planning and consolidation Used PowerConvert for 260 migrations (P2P and P2V) across sites Benefits Integrated planning and execution P2P, P2V and V2V in one solution Long distance migration made easy Saved 2 million Euros for one project WAN WAN Existing Site New Site
Workloads cannot be easily re-hosted across platform boundaries Datacenter is full of inflexible platforms
Workloads and Resources operate unbalanced Servers with many resources are handling small workloads(under-utilization/wastage) Servers with small resources are handling large workloads(over-utilization/risk)
If you could … Measure workloads and resources effectively Move workloads easily in your datacenter, then You could optimize resource supply and workload demand saving money and reducing risk Large Resource Supply Small Resource Supply Small Workload Demand Large Workload Demand BALANCE BETWEEN WORKLOAD DEMAND AND RESOURCE SUPPLY
The WORKLOAD is the UNIT OF VALUE The data, apps and OS that reside on a physical or virtual host The workload profile captures information about the encapsulated data, applications and operating systems residing on a physical or virtual host.
PlateSpin Workload Portability™(patent pending) Workload Portability™ enables server workloads to be migrated within and across different data centre infrastructures
PlateSpin Solution VisionA Three Pronged Approach A closed loop approach to multi-platform dynamic workload optimization Awareness of resources and workloads Awareness Awareness Optimization of workloads and resources to ensure best fit regardless of infrastructure Optimization Migration of workloads to the most appropriate resources Migration Optimization Migration
PLATESPIN POWERRECON - PROFILING Minimize the Risk by understanding what is happening and creating a plan What resources are in the datacenter What workloads are running on those resources How effectively are workloads assigned to resources Create plans to optimize workload and resources Resources Workloads
Workload Profiling Every workload has a profile attached to it throughout its lifecycle Name Resource Profile Application Profile Inventory Owner Cost SLA .. Workload Profile
