INTRODUCTION

Are you in a Cloud Model ?

Do you allow end users to self provision / self service ?

Do think about your resources (servers, storage, networking) in a pooled fashion ?

Can you provide elasticity in services and applications ?

Can you track usage so that you can show back or charge back to users ?

Brad Anderson - Microsoft Management Summit 2012 - Day One Keynote

IT as a ServiceCloud

Computing enables what we

call “IT as a

Service”

“As a Service”

offering by definition

has a “Service Provider”

and a “Service

Consumer”

IT as a Service

provides the

framework for the service

level based agreement

LOGICAL ABSTRACTION FOR THE NETWORK INFRASTRUCTURE

Virtual Machine Manager

Abstracting Physical Network

Abstracting physical network requirements into logical network definitions allows the architect to describe how a service should be configured

A logical network is used to organize and simplify network assignments.

You can use logical networks to describe networks with different purposes, for traffic isolation and to provision networks for different types of service-level agreements (SLAs)

Virtual Machine Networking

Synthetic and Emulated network adapters

Virtual networks

Private network

Internal network

External network

Network Management

LOGICAL NETWORKS

• Classify network for VMs to access

• Map to network topology

• Allocate to hosts and clouds

Address Pools

IP POOLS

Assigned to VMs, hosts, and virtual IPs

Specified use in VM template creation

Checked out at VM creation—assigns static IP in VM

Returned on VM deletion

MAC POOLS VIRTUAL IP POOLS

Assigned to VMs

Specified use in VM template creation

Checked out at VM creation—assigned before VM boot

Returned on VM deletion

Assigned to service tiers that use a load balancer

Reserved within IP Pools

Assigned to clouds

Checked out at service deployment

Returned on service deletion

Load Balancer Support

AUTOMATION

Connect to load balancer through hardware provider

Assign to clouds, host groups, and logical networks

Configure load balancing method and add virtual IP on service deployment

PARTNERS VIRTUAL IP TEMPLATES

F5 BIG-IP

Brocade ServerIron ADX

Citrix NetScaler

Microsoft Network Load Balancer

Specifies preconfigured properties for configuring a load balancer at service deployment

Specifies load balancing methods—round robin, least connections, fastest response

Host Clusters Bring the Fabric Together

CREATION

Use wizard-based experience

Support cluster validation

Allocate cluster disks from managed storage

Create cluster-wide virtual network

MANAGEMENT DELETION

Add and remove nodes, cluster disks, and virtual networks

Drag and drop host to add node to cluster

Monitor cluster health and status

Clustered hosts will become managed standalone hosts

Clustered disks will be returned to managed storage

Add Nodes from Host Group

Specify hosts from chosen host group to add to cluster.

Skip validation. If desired, validate later.

Configurable IP Addressing on Cluster Creation

Detected IP pool and Logical Network. Administrator selected the IP pool, and used an assigned address from the pool.

Detected IP pool and Logical Network. Administrator manually specified the exact address from this pool.

Neither an IP pool nor a Logical Network discovered. Administrator assigned manual IP address.

Assign Storage on Cluster Creation

Assign existing LUNs allocated to host group.

Enable CSV support for cluster shared volumes.
