  2. Program Overview Outline • CITS Overview • Challenges • CITS Virtualization Infrastructure (CVI) • Future Challenges

  3. CITS Overview CITS deploys IT infrastructure and capabilities to support Base Mission Operations and Air Force Network Centric Operations Infrastructure Net Management / Net Defense Telephony Management and Defense Deploy enterprise solutions Consolidate network management of 200+ bases Reduce manpower, footprint, energy use, maintenance ~800,000 end users

  4. Air Force Data Center Challenges Non-optimal usage of computing and storage resources Disparate computing resources Space constraints Server Sprawl Base level man power reduction AF is going to “Lights Dim” policy Long deployment cycles Drives stop-gap solutions Power consumption increases Energy bill growing too fast High availability Critical military need Disaster recovery

  5. CITS’ Solution: CVI Virtualization advantages: • Hardware independence • Optimize resources – virtualization allows for dynamic workload adjustments • Smaller system footprint – virtualization and blades reduce space and civil engineering support requirements • SAN + Tape Storage – Centralized data storage while improving speed, flexibility, and expandability

  6. VirtualizationGoals VMotion Technology • Run multiple virtual machines with heterogeneous operating systems at the same time on the same physical machine • Create a fully configured isolated virtual machine with its own set of virtual hardware to run an operating system and applications • Rapidly save, copy, provision virtual machines that can be moved from one physical server to another for workload consolidation and zero downtime maintenance, with no concern for the vendor or manufacturer of the physical server VM VM VM App App App OS OS OS ESX ESX ESX VMFS VMFS VMFS Shared Storage Shared Storage Shared Storage 7

  7. Hardware independent solution Baseline for future CITS integration projects Easy maintenance and expansion Interoperable with existing USAF systems and applications Enterprise centric architecture (vs base centric) Remote monitoring / remote management capable Integral disaster recovery capabilities Virtualization Requirements 8

  10. CVI Hardware Components

  11. CVI at Enterprise Level Enterprise level services hosted at four ESUs Managed at two I-NOSCs Centralized management of enterprise with redundancy at multiple locations Scalability for future applications Disaster recovery solutions Managed and maintained at the I-NOSC tier

  12. CVI at Base Level Localized Data Center for each base 200+ bases worldwide Some bases have over 10,000 users Support base level core services Data centers sized to handle load based on mission requirements Easily scaled to handle future growth requirements

  13. CVI Challenges • Many Data Centers throughout the AF to manage • Current Virtual Center product needs to be scalable to meet enterprise needs • Migrate legacy systems to CVI • Align CVI deployment with dependent projects • Build a complete Disaster Recovery architecture • Scalable to the entire AF Intranet • Improve security • Obtain certifications, accreditation

  14. Conclusion Virtualization Net Gains: Increase cost savings Meet AF “Lights Dim” (Green IT) goals Improve disaster recovery processes Scale to meet growing demands
