Legacy Data Center
Single Tenant
Isolated work loads
Dedicated Infrastructure
Scale-up
Pre-provisioned capacity
Hardware defined
Project Based
Manual Administration
Next Generation Data Center
Multi-tenant
Mixed workloads
Shared infrastructure
Scale-out
Capacity on demand
Software defined
Self service
Automation
Entering a whole new world…
Regardless of the name, desired outcomes are the same
Next Generation Data Center
Software Defined Data Center
Infrastructure 2.0 Cloud Computing
Private Cloud IT-as-a-Service
Agile Scalable Automated Predictable
A Fundamental Shift In App Design & Delivery
Apps span VMs
Data stored in scalable DBs,
cached in memory tiers
Interaction via API, web or mobile
Apps run on a computer
Data stored in files
Interaction via UI
Legacy Data Center Next Generation Data Center
The entire datacenter has
become one big computer
…is the operating system
The “Community” is what makes it work
Users
Service Providers
Vendors
Distributions
Expanding the Reach of The Next Generation Data Center
Agile
Scalable
Automated
Predictable
There are costs however• Shift in how we think about resource availability
• Best practice requires change in how we design
and write our apps
• Dizzying number of options and choices, need to
invest time and effort to sort it all out
It’s up to you!
Block Storage in OpenStack / Cinder
Architected to provide traditional block-level storage
resources to other OpenStack services
Presents persistent block-level storage volumes for
use with OpenStack Nova compute instances
Manages the creation, attaching and detaching of
these volumes between a storage system and
different host servers
Ability to choose
Plugin architecture, multiple choices for backend
storage
Don’t have to choose just one
Use the storage that fits your needs
Mix of proprietary and open-source choices
Multiple Back ends together
What you build on matters
Considerations for what to build with
• High-level of integration and support with OpenStack• Flexible scalability for ever-changing environments• Automation integration via APIs• Resiliency for increased reliability and uptime• Predictable performance (not just fast)• What will I be using it for• What *might* I be using it for
SolidFire Storage and SolidFire AI
• A different kind of Reference Architecture• Flexibility
• Options
• On ramp to OpenStack
#SolidFireAI
Commodity hardware
Horizontal scale-out design
Optimized for mixed workloads
Software Dev. Lifecycle
Web-scale apps
Persistent block storage
Database consolidation
SolidFire AI for OpenStackPre-validated converged infrastructure design
Software Defined pools of compute, networking & storage
Operational Benefits of AI
Agile
<30 minutes to provision from bare metal to OS
<30 minutes to install and configure OpenStackAutomated
Linear Scalability of compute & storage nodesScalable
Maintain consistent performance via Guaranteed QoSPredictable
Integrated Effiency with cluster wide dedupe & compression
27U rack footprint - 360 cores, ~1000 vCPUs, 250k IOPS, 60TBsEfficient
#SolidFireAI
Leading Converged Performance and Economics
• 2.5x IOPS per GB
• 80% less footprint
• 50% lower cost
#SolidFireAI
…but best of all
• Completely open architecture
• No lock-in on compute, storage,
networking or software
• Fully leverage the OpenStack
ecosystem over time
