The Issue is Complexity of IT Infrastructure


Data Center Challenges are Everywhere“IT runs the business – downtime is not an option”“I want to see more business value out of IT”

“Our applications are the ‘face’ of our business”“It’s all about keeping the application available”

“As long as my servers are up I’m OK”“We have too many underutilized servers”

“Our information is our business. We need to protect our data everywhere – in transit and at rest”

“I can’t keep up with the amount of storage that needs to be backed up, replicated and archived ”

Complexities Drive Costs Up! Facilities Management

Issues with power, cooling, and physical space

Server sprawl with low per server utilization rates on many boxes

Over provisioned to meet application SLA’s

IT Operations Management

Cross functional coordination time to market for new applications

Many platforms, vendors, operating systems

Over 70% Data Center OpEx spent on server maintenance

Poor server and system management tool integration

The Impact of Server Virtualization

Server virtualization impacts– Security– Scalability– Application prioritization

Network segmentation offers– User partitions – Application prioritization- Firewalls and security- Application delivery- Network workflows

Requires orchestration Integration

The Need for Orchestration API’s Event Monitoring

–Coordinated failure and boot events

–Boot at bare metal and OS levels

Server Image Management

–Image creation with package aware mechanisms

–Replication control with storage subsystem

Server Identity Remapping

–Fabric identity programming within the server

Virtual Machine Management

–Messaging to VM controller for VM actions

Real Time Mode API Mode• As servers are booted patch mgmt platform is

informed• RPM level inventory is performed with patches

added• Servers then go “on line”

Off Line API Mode • Boot images become active with utility server

• RPM inventory checks with patch updates

• Images • Updated boot images in storage repositories


• Compliancy to blueprints • Faster server deployments• Better resource utilization • Rules based real time checks • No services overlaps • Audit control • More emphasis on design

Summary: Infrastructure Orchestration

Exponentially rising facility costs will drive behavioral changes

Servers are no longer fixed semi custom resources

The network offers a rich platform for dynamic services orchestration

From on operations end virtualization is at version 1.0

Operations has to evolve with orchestration platforms

Service providers are leading with these changes
