This is my notes from Cloud Computing Conference in Prague held at 2nd November 2011.
- HP
-
What is cloud?
-
way to comutize IT services
IT department cannot cope with current load of requests
HP did worldwide research: 70% of IT resources will be in cloud solutions in 2 years (majority in hybrid solutions (public/privite combination)
where is HP best
- monitoring (HP openview)
- security in a cloud
proces of deployment
- Standardize
- virtualize
- automate (5% of companies currently)
HP Cloud System
- complete stack
- Matrix
- Blades x86 (not requirement)
- management, storage (IaaS)
- Network Infrastructure
- today build in hierarchy
- need to be redesigned, as most of the communication between servers
- they use it internaly for 7years
- it doesn’t lock you to one vendor
Cloud enablers
- automation (HP Operations Orchestrator)
- IT cost modeling
HP Service costs
- predict what to run externaly and what internaly
case study: K2
- own DC in CZ (Ostrava)
- phases of development
- 1. a few customers
- manually managed
- simple up/down reactive monitoring
- 2. tens of customers
- semi automated
- proactive monitoring
- problem with SaaS – cannot be easily standardize on the platform
- 3. hunderts of customers
- require a new real-cloud solution
- HP solution
- 1. a few customers
-
-
- VmWare
- solution for cost modeling
- service catalog
- each department its own virtual data center
- vCloud Director
- create automatization (web portal)
- resource management
- model how virtual guests are interconnected
- hybrid clouds
- install vCloud Connector component
- enter URL and credential
- you can see external resources in one
- it work just for connecting about 10 vCloud directors
- one can migrate both directions
- vApp Catalog
- something like iphone app store/android market
- whole prepared services
- or just prepared OS images
- web+DB+App Server + load balancer
- you can create Template using web interface
- track dependencies
- allow you to edit config files thru web interface
- CloudFoundry
-
PaaS
- java
- php
- python
- node.js
- and more (that is advantage against Google app engine)
build as OpenSource -> everyone can deploy their own CloudFoundry as private or public cloud offering
VmWare cloud just for developers – they don’t want customers to use it for prod stuff
-
- solution for cost modeling
- Veeam
- 4 awards on VmWare expo 2010, 2011
- 2 offerings
- monitoring/management
- plugin to MS SCOM and HP OpenView
- Veeam One
- Reporter
- change management
- excel exports
- Business View
- see business impact of potencial changes
- Reporter
- backup/restore
- verify backups (sure backup technology)
- instant restore
- smart CDP
- selective restore (1 email, 1 row from DB etc)
- monitoring/management
- GTS
- Telco – run 10k m2 data center food print out of 120k m2 in central europe region
- they offer public cloud based on vCloud Director
- TCO calculator (excel sheet)
- Microsoft
- change conversation between business and IT
- single tool to admin hybrid clouds
- Hyper V-cloud
- less than 30 days deployment
- self-service (VM Manager)
- Virtualization (Hyper-V Windows server)
- identyty (Active Directory)
- licence
- ECI (licence per processor
- all inclusive
- WinServer
- System Center
- ForgeFront (security)
- allow management of unlimited VMs
- not limited to MS
- infra templates
- system center 2012
- monitoring on the service level
- community evaluation program https://connect.microsoft.com/site1211
- Windows 8
- allow to merge more HW nodes and use them for one VM (NUMA technology)
