  9. Financial Services Customer Results • 2011 Size: 12,000 VMs • 2011 Savings: • $20,000,000+ in Personnel Savings (Storage Side in 2011) • 50% Reduction in Maintenance Costs • 2012 Projection: Convert 20,000 Servers (~$250,000,000 Infrastructure Value) • 2013 Projection: Convert 20,000 Servers (~$250,000,000 Infrastructure Value) • 2012 Savings: • ~$225,000,000+ in Server Infrastructure (10 to 1 Conversion Ratio) • $XX,000,000+ in Storage Infrastructure (4 to 1 Conversion Ratio • $500,000,000 in savings in just two years 10

  10. Platform Alignment of Moab + xCAT Strengths: Dynamic Cloud Service Management, Scalable and Low Cost Delivery, Rich Policy Flexibility Weaknesses: Multi-tenancy subscription management, account and contract management Aligned: Moab+ xCAT is best aligned to a private cloud delivery that focuses on efficiency of use, SLA management between departments and core showback/chargeback scenarios Level of Focus/Capability High Low Mid

  11. Big Picture • Dynamic resource scalability • Automated provisioning of IT resources • User-based self-service • Usage-based cost accounting • Service Catalog Moab with View Point Portal • Highly standardized infrastructure • Virtualization • Image Catalog • Multi-tenancy xCAT Platform Management (Network, Storage, Server, VM, OS, IaaS Services) Network … x,p,z node node node HD HD HD Optional Local Storage Centralized Storage Cloud (NAS or GPFS)

  12. xCAT: Extreme Cloud Administration Toolkit • Scalable Platform Management • Distributed Management and Provisioning • 10’s of 1000’s of machines supported • Unified Interface for • Hardware Discovery and Control • System x, p, and z • Stateful and Stateless OS and Hypervisor Deployment • Bare-metal and VM OS Deployment • Virtualization Automation • Network and Storage Provisioning • Energy Management • Open Source Project originated at IBM • Actively developed since 1999 • Support and Service contracts available

  13. What does xCAT do? • Remote Hardware Control (x, p, z) • Power, Reset, Vitals, Inventory, Event Logs, Energy Capping, SNMP alert processing, remote LED status • Remote Console Management • Serial Console, SOL, Logging, Video Console (no logging) • Remote Target Control • Local/SAN Boot, Network Boot, iSCSI Boot • Remote Automated Unattended Network Installation • Auto-Discovery (Zero-Day) • MAC Address Collection • Service Processor Programming • Remote Flashing • Kickstart, Autoyast, Imaging, Stateless/Diskless, Statelite/Diskelsewhere, iSCSI, Windows Installer, Windows ImageX, COW, Cloning • Infrastructure Service Management • DHCP (IPv4 & IPv6), DNS, NTP, TFTP, iSCSI, NFS, Active Directory • VM Management and Provisioning • Scales! Think 100,000 nodes. • xCAT will make you lazy. No need to walk to datacenter again.

  14. xCAT 2.5 Virtualization Support KVM and Xen (Paravirtualization and Classic) (libvirt driven) • Allocate on Demand, Provision Linux/Windows Guest • Live Migration • Serial and VGA console ESXi (VMware API driven via Vcenter) • Allocate on Demand, Provision Linux/Windows Guest • Live VM and Storage Migration (Vcenter required) • No console access (WIP, xCAT 2.5) ScaleMP • Allocate on Demand, Provision Linux/Windows Guest PowerVM • Allocate on Demand, Provision Linux/AIX Guest • Live Migration • Serial console zVM • Allocate on Demand, Provision Linux Guest • Serial console Linux Containers, WPARs (p), and Hyper V on roadmap

  15. Moab Adaptive Computing Suite • Intelligent decision-automation system • Self-service portal for user access • Integrated accounting • Static and elastic service models • Provides data-center governance • Balances IT service demands • Organizational policy and business priorities (SLAs) • Unified view of current and future data-center resource availability • xCAT Automation via xCAT XML/SSL API

  16. xCAT-Moab Key Benefits • Reduce IT resource delivery time from weeks to minutes • Mitigate risk through consistency, repeatability, and enforcement of site-specific rules • Respond to dynamically changing circumstances according to organizational priorities and adjusting workload allocation and modifying infrastructure profiles to optimize service delivery • Self-service provisioning of physical or virtual infrastructure, including servers, memory, storage, network, software, and licenses • Implement allocation and billing systems to charge for costs and regulate user demand

  17. xCAT-Moab • Intelligently automate extreme-scale, heterogeneous data centers with tens of thousands of applications and servers • Monitor the state of the entire data-center infrastructure and dynamically allocate resources to applications as needed • Provision stateful and stateless systems with multi-OS software stacks on demand, reducing deployment time to minutes or seconds • Use application profiles to intelligently place workloads on both physical and virtual resources • Enforce service-level agreements (SLAs) and ensure acceptable quality of service (QoS) for all users and applications • Anticipate surges in application workload and provision additional resources on demand so that peak workloads can be accommodated without delay or interruption of services • Identify underutilized resources and pack workloads more tightly to enable existing servers to complete more workload in less time • Automate system health checks, detect amber light and failure conditions, and automatically provision replacement servers so that applications finish on schedule without the need for manual intervention • Monitor power usage, identify underutilized resources, redistribute workloads, and power down idle servers until required • Provide centralized management across multiple geographically dispersed installations

  18. IBM-HW VMs xCAT + Moab Suite Viewpoint MAM MWM Viewpoint • GUI Moab Workload Manager • Scheduler • The Brain Moab Accounting Module (optional) • Pay to play Moab Service Manager • Queue • Lock Management • Universal Translator xCAT • Actions • The Muscle • The Senses MSM xCAT
