The utilization efficiency, flexibility and scalability of Web-scale architectures appeal to the more traditional data center, but Enterprise IT needs the ability to run existing, Windows back-office applications and can’t sacrifice performance and reliability. In this webinar you will learn: * What is Web-scale? * Why companies like Google, Twitter and Facebook use Web-scale? * What are the adoption challenges for Enterprise IT? * What can Enterprise IT do to leverage Web-scale for Business Applications? Web-scale architectures are more than just another industry buzzword. They are architectures used by organizations like Google, Twitter, Facebook and Amazon to create a converged infrastructure that can scale linearly to meet customer demand. They are also designed to use commodity hardware, so these organizations can remain competitive as they grow. Scalability and cost containment are of course important to Enterprise IT as well, but they also need compatibility with existing applications like MS-SQL and Exchange as well as existing processes like backup and disaster recovery. Also Enterprise IT often does not have the time to endure the “some assembly required” aspect of Web-scale architectures. In our webinar, we will discuss how Enterprise IT can overcome these challenges by looking for solutions that deliver a turnkey Web-scale experience.

A Look at Traditional Infrastructure
Traditional Storage
(SAN/NAS)
Storage Network
• Complex to manage• Costly to scale• Storage per Cluster
• Performance bottleneck• Difficult to scale• Managed separately
Servers
• Commoditized multicore processors and dense memory
• Managed by virtualization• Virtual Cluster per App (VDI,
SQL)
Microsoft Applications in Today’s Datacenter
SANDAS
Overprovisioning for performance
Complex data protection and disaster recovery
Difficulty scaling as applications grow
Infrastructure silos remain, even after initial wave of virtualization
What is Web-Scale
• Software-driven + off-the-shelf hardware
• Highly distributed, shared nothing architecture for system resilience and 100% data availability
• Operational and management simplicity
What is Web-Scale
• Fractional consumption of resources for better economics
• Programmatic so resources can added dynamically to meet real-time application and business demands
• Linear scale-out (capacity and performance)
What’s In• Software-based
• Smart software, commodity HW• Scale one x86 server at a time• Highly distributed, but local storage• Heavily automated
What’s Out• Name brand hardware• Islands of storage• Unused, overprovisioned resources• North-south network traffic• Low productivity tasks

Web-Scale Architecture for The Enterprise?
Web-Scale vs. Enterprise IT
• Web-scale architectures have been custom developed, in-house
• Even attempts to make it more “off-the-shelf” still require too much “do it yourself”
• These environments were not designed to run enterprise Microsoft Apps and enterprise hypervisors
