  3. Datacenter Strategies and Trends 2010 • Introduction • Ten Datacenter Strategies by Kenneth Hess • Other Data Center Strategies • Datacenter Trends • Datacenter Survey Results • Datacenter News • Concluding Remarks 3

  4. 1. Introduction • A Datacenter is a facility to house computer systems and associated components such as - Telecommunication Systems- Storage Systems 4

  5. Introduction (Cont.) • A datacenter include- Redundant or backup power supplies- Redundant data communications connections- Environmental controls- Security devices 5

  6. Introduction (Cont.) • Searching Google for “Data Center Strategies 2010” over 32 million entries were found 6

  7. Introduction (Cont.) • Searching Google for“Data Center Trends 2010”,12.2 million entries found 7

  8. Introduction (Cont.) • Searching Google for “Data Center Survey Results 2010”,13.3 million entries found 8

  9. Introduction (Cont.) • Searching Google for “Data Center News 2010”, 171 million entries found. 9

  10. 2. Ten Datacenter Strategies from Kenneth Hess • From “www.serverwatch.com” on June 17, 2010 Kenneth Hess proposed 10 datacenter strategies: 2.1 Greening2.2 Consolidation 2.3 Virtualization2.4 Leveraged Cloud Computing 10

  11. Ten Datacenter Strategies (Cont.) 2.5 Private Cloud2.6 Disaster Recovery2.7 Leveraged Content Delivery 2.8 Storage-Area Networks2.9 Remote Backup 2.10 Automation 11

  12. 2.1 Greening of Datacenter • To reduce power consumption, e.g.- Use Solid State Drives (SSD) instead of disk- Use computers which require less power 12

  13. 2.2 Consolidation • Doing more with less such as switching to Linux. 13

  14. 2.3 Virtualization • Using higher-end hardware to house multiple and disparate workloads onto a single system or cluster of systems. 14

  15. 2.4 Leveraged Cloud Computing • Using service offered by Commercial Cloud Provider which offers 24x7x365 availability, maintenance, support, etc. and save money. 15

  16. 2.5 Private Cloud • Setting up your own cloud computing, tapping on all the equipment at your own datacenter. 16

  17. 2.6 Disaster Recovery • Setting up a mirror site with load balancers. 17

  18. 2.7 Leveraged Content Delivery • Instead of buying extra bandwidth, you can use the service such as Akamai. • Sample customers of Akamai are MTV, MySpace, Fox Interactive. 18

  19. 2.8 Storage-Area Networks • Instead of using a lot of storage devices, you should use Storage-Area Networks (SAN) which are- expandable- scalable- inexpensive 19

  20. 2.9 Remote Backup • To ensure safe and secure data backup and restore, online backup could be used and it is- inexpensive- reliable- agile 20

  21. Remote Backup (Cont.) • Sample commercial services are- Intronis- MozyPro- i365 21

  22. 2.10 Automation • Automation is a key strategy to manage the new generation of datacenters. • Fully automated datacenter will be available soon. 22

  23. 3. Other Datacenter Strategies 3.1 Datacenter Strategies from www.process.com 3.2 Microsoft Datacenter for Bing Search Engine 23

  24. 3.1 Datacenter Strategies from www.process.com • From www.processor.com, Vol. 32, Issue 1, January 1, 2010, two strategies were mentioned 3.1.1 A Different Shade of Greening3.1.2 Maximizing the Value of Existing HW & SW 24

  25. 3.1.1 Greening of Datacenter • Info-Tech suggested that it is still a good strategy to reduce energy costs. • Years ago, Datacenter had a power density of about 500 watts per square meter but in 2010, it is 20 times or more. 25

  26. Greening of Datacenter (Cont.) • Three options have been mentioned1) Flywheel UPS2) Economizers3) Computer Systems Based on DC Power 26

  27. 1) Flywheel • The use of a few-meter diameter flywheel running with electricity. • When electricity fails, the moment of inertia keeps the flywheel turning and producing electricity for temporary use. • Flywheel UPS is greener and generate less hea than conventional battery-based UPS. 27

  28. Flywheel (Cont.) • From www.onmovements.com on 13 September 2010. 28

  29. 2) Economizers • Economizers are systems that use cool outside air to drop datacenter temperature rather than using expensive air conditioning. 29

  30. 3) Computer Systems Based on DC Power • Bring AC power from the street to charge up batteries and then deliver the DC from batteries to computer equipment and save 6-12% of energy. (Some vendors claimed 15-30% saving) 30

  31. 3.1.2 Virtualization • Pund-it (www.pund-it.com) proposed virtualization to maximize the value of existing hardware and software. 31

  32. 3.2 Microsoft Datacenter for Bing Search Engine • From dcsblog.burtongroup.com on April 21, 2010, Microsoft is looking at Solid State Disk (SSD) for its datacenter for Bing Search Engine. 32

  33. Microsoft Datacenter (Cont.) • Microsoft wished to gain two benefits: - Reduce power consumption / node, e.g. a processor operates at 10 watts instead of 50 watts.- Smaller form factor, with small power supplies, more servers could be packed in smaller space. 33

  34. 4. Datacenter Trends 4.1 Five Trends in Datacenter Design 4.2 Four Trends for New Datacenter 4.3 Datacenter Trends for 2010 34

  35. 4.1 Five Trends in Datacenter Design • From “www.cio.com” on 7 July 2010, IBM, which is building 200-300 datacenters per year, proposed 5 trends: (1) Energy costs outweigh capital costs (2) Modularity matters(3) Cooling is key (4) Virtualized everything(5) Self-diagnosing datacenter 35

  36. 4.2 Four Trends for New Datacenter • From “www.networkworld.com” on 22 March 2010, (1) I/O virtualization (2) Data and storage convergence (3) Faster processor, greater consolidation (4) Infrastructure optimization 36

  37. 4.3 Datacenter Trends for 2010 • From “www.dbta.com” on 11 January 2010, the following trends were proposed: (1) Virtualization will morph into cloud computing(2) Platforms in the cloud(3) Large scale, end-to-end cloud adoption 37

  38. 5. Datacenter Survey Results 5.1 Survey by Data Center Knowledge 5.2 Symantec 2010 State of Data Center Study 38

  39. 5.1 Survey by Data Center Knowledge • From “webcache.googleusercontent.com” on 16 August 2010, Data Center Knowledge released survey results. • The Survey was conducted in July 2010. • Responses from 240 readers. • 51% of respondents operate 3 or more datacenters. • 26% operate at least 10 datacenters. 39

  40. Survey by Data Center Knowledge (Cont.) • The results of DCK survey:- 63% are in the midst of datacenters expansion or have just completed a new facility. - 59% continue to build and manage their datacenters in-house. 40

  41. Survey by Data Center Knowledge (Cont.) - 41% are using a wholesale datacenter provider or other third-party company for their expansive. 41

  42. Survey by Data Center Knowledge (Cont.) • 20% of projects did not complete on time or came in over budget. • In-house datacenter projects were twice as likely to have cost over runs between 1-10 million US$ as opposed to projects that involved a wholesale provider. 42

  43. Survey by Data Center Knowledge (Cont.) • Nearly half of respondents have implemented cloud services. • 11% have implemented • cloud computing broadly. • 21% have implemented cloud computing selectively. 43

  44. Survey by Data Center Knowledge (Cont.) • 15% are using the cloud for testing and development. • 12% reports plans to implement cloud services within the next two years. • 19% have no plan for cloud computing. 44

  45. 5.2 Symantec 2010 State of Data Center Study • From www.symantec.com on 11 January 2010, Symantec released the finding of its 2010 State of Data Center Study. • The Study in 2010 is the third year. • Surveyed 1,780 datacenters managers in 26 countries in November 2009. 45

  46. Symantec 2010 Study (Cont.) • Mid-sized enterprises (2,000-9,999 employees) are more likely to adopt cutting-edge technologies such as - cloud computing- deduplication- replication - storage virtualization- continuous data protection 46

  47. Symantec 2010 Study (Cont.) • Mid-sized enterprise datacenters show more activity, with more IT managers predicting major changes to the datacenters and new applications in 2010. 47

  48. Symantec 2010 Study (Cont.) • Mid-sized enterprises place a higher importance on - staffing- training 48

  49. Symantec 2010 Study (Cont.) • Mid-sized enterprises adopting new technology at 11-17% higher rate than small or large enterprises. • 50% expect significant changes to datacenters in 2010 49

  50. Symantec 2010 Study (Cont.) • 50% finds it difficult and costly to meet service level agreements. • 33% say staff productivity is hampered by too many applications. • 71% to consider data reduction technologies, such as deduplication. 50
