  1. Virtual Environments and Level III Redundancy A modern, green and fault tolerant approach to radio automation system design Patrick J. Campion Director of Product Development ENCO Systems, Inc.

  2. A simplified view of 20 years of radio automation system integration.

  3. Starting with a 1:1 PC:Studio design based on the following configuration

  4. ONE STUDIO ONE BOX Again, in this model the setup is 1:1 PC:Studio.

  5. 4U Rackmount Case • Power Supply • Motherboard • NIC • Video • RAM • Processor • HDD(s) • DVD ROM • PCIe RAID • PCIe Sound • PCI GPI • Cooling Fans

  6. 4U Rackmount Case • Power Supply • Motherboard • NIC • Video • RAM • Processor • HDD(s) • DVD ROM • PCIe RAID • PCIe Sound • PCI GPI • Cooling Fans Take that big list of components and fit it into the box

  7. TWO STUDIOS

  8. TWO BOXES

  9. THREE STUDIOS

  10. THREE BOXES

  11. FOUR STUDIOS

  12. FOUR BOXES

  13. FIVE STUDIOS

  14. FM ONAIR AM ONAIR PROD1 PROD2 VT STUDIO Conveniently named for demo purposes

  15. Move everything to a rack room FM ONAIR AM ONAIR PROD1 PROD2 VT STUDIO IT RACK ROOM

  16. Add servers and a switch FM ONAIR AM ONAIR PROD1 PROD2 VT STUDIO SERVER ONE SERVER TWO SWITCH IT RACK ROOM

  17. Start connecting cables FM ONAIR AM ONAIR PROD1 PROD2 VT STUDIO SERVER ONE SERVER TWO SWITCH POWER IT RACK ROOM

  18. FM ONAIR AM ONAIR PROD1 PROD2 VT STUDIO SERVER ONE SERVER TWO SWITCH NETWORK IT RACK ROOM

  19. FM ONAIR AM ONAIR PROD1 PROD2 VT STUDIO SERVER ONE SERVER TWO SWITCH KVM IT RACK ROOM

  20. FM ONAIR AM ONAIR PROD1 PROD2 VT STUDIO SERVER ONE SERVER TWO SWITCH IT RACK ROOM

  21. FM ONAIR FM ONAIR AM ONAIR AM ONAIR PROD1 PROD1 PROD2 PROD2 VT STUDIO VT STUDIO SERVER ONE SERVER TWO SWITCH IT RACK ROOM STUDIOS

  22. FM ONAIR FM ONAIR AM ONAIR AM ONAIR PROD1 PROD1 PROD2 PROD2 VT STUDIO VT STUDIO SERVER ONE SERVER TWO SWITCH KVM IT RACK ROOM STUDIOS

  23. FM ONAIR FM ONAIR AM ONAIR AM ONAIR PROD1 PROD1 PROD2 PROD2 VT STUDIO VT STUDIO SERVER ONE SERVER TWO SWITCH AUDIO IT RACK ROOM STUDIOS

  24. FM ONAIR FM ONAIR AM ONAIR AM ONAIR PROD1 PROD1 PROD2 PROD2 VT STUDIO VT STUDIO SERVER ONE SERVER TWO SWITCH GPI IT RACK ROOM STUDIOS

  25. FM ONAIR FM ONAIR AM ONAIR AM ONAIR PROD1 PROD1 PROD2 PROD2 VT STUDIO VT STUDIO SERVER ONE SERVER TWO SWITCH CROSS CONNECTS IT RACK ROOM STUDIOS

  26. SERVER FM ONAIR SWITCH AM ONAIR PROD1 PROD2 VT STUDIO IT RACK ROOM STUDIOS

  27. FM ONAIR FM ONAIR AM ONAIR AM ONAIR PROD1 PROD1 PROD2 PROD2 VT STUDIO VT STUDIO SERVER ONE SERVER TWO SWITCH IT RACK ROOM STUDIOS

  28. SERVER FM ONAIR SWITCH AM ONAIR PROD1 PROD2 VT STUDIO IT RACK ROOM STUDIOS

  29. ONE SITE ONE BOX

  30. LOTS OF PROCESSING POWER • LOTS OF RAM • HIGH PERFORMANCE DRIVES • HIGH PERFORMANCE RAID CONTROLLER • EIGHT OR MORE 1000TX NIC • SERVER CLASS HARDWARE

  31. Starting with a six drive frame – no OS or architecture

  32. RAID1 Build one RAID1

  33. RAID1 RAID5 And one RAID5 with the remaining four drives

  34. SERVER VM1 VM2 RAID5 VM3 VM4 VM5 On the RAID1 build our Virtualized Server OS and five Virtual Machines

  35. SERVER FM ONAIR AM ONAIR RAID5 PROD1 PROD2 VT STUDIO

  36. SERVER FM ONAIR STORAGE VOLUME (VIRTUAL SHARE) AM ONAIR PROD1 PROD2 VT STUDIO Then create a virtual share on the RAID5 for storage purposes

  37. VIRTUAL MACHINE • OPERATING SYSTEM • IP AUDIO DRIVER • AUTOMATION SOFTWARE

  38. ONE SITE ONE BOX This model’s biggest flaw is a lack of true redundancy

  39. SERVER FM ONAIR SWITCH AM ONAIR PROD1 PROD2 VT STUDIO IT RACK ROOM STUDIOS

  40. ONE SITE TWO BOXES Solved by going to a model with two duplicate boxes

  41. SERVER1 FM ONAIR SWITCH SERVER2 AM ONAIR PROD1 PROD2 VT STUDIO IT RACK ROOM STUDIOS

  42. Redundancy Software SERVER VM1 RAID5 SERVER RAID5 3000TX pipe between the two boxes and redundancy software added

  43. SERVER FM ONAIR STORAGE VOLUME (VIRTUAL SHARE) AM ONAIR PROD1 PROD2 VT STUDIO SERVER FM ONAIR STORAGE VOLUME (VIRTUAL SHARE) AM ONAIR PROD1 PROD2 VT STUDIO Create two duplicate, synchronous environments.

  44. SMALLER FOOTPRINT • LESS POWER DRAW • LESS COOLING DEMAND • EASIER INTEGRATION • HIGHER QUALITY MATERIAL • EASIER MAINTENANCE • MORE SCALABILITY • BETTER FAULT TOLERANCE • KVM SHARING BUILT IN
