the Good, the Bad, the Ugly
The “Man with No Name” spaghetti-western
trilogy titles are pretty much like IT these days:
–A Fistful of Dollars (1964)
–the PC?
–For a Few Dollars More (1965)
–the Internet?
–The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966)
–the Cloud?

Defining “the Cloud”
if, at first, people were very reserved when it came to “the Cloud”...
…now many some actually want to move…
in the cloud
…but do they all know what to expect?
VIRTUAL? PRIVATE? CLOUD?

Reduction of initial

Reduction of “over-supply“
No “under-supply“

The real costs of IT
Essential questions
• Why would I want to build a Private Cloud?
• Who do I build it for in the end?
• What do I want to offer?
• SLA, compliance (PCI, ISO)
what do we look at when we build a
Virtual Private Cloud ?
1. budget
cost per kWh, price per U, bandwidth and connectivity costs, technical staff, etc.
2. architecture
structure, scalability, reliability, redundancy, security, flexibility
3. hardware
server (MIPS/MOPS), storage (I/O-OPS), network (1Gbps, 10Gbps, infiniband, fiber)
4. virtualization layer
5. management / automation
6. internal processes
security & incident response policies, fast problem detection/fixing,
disaster recovery, high availability, time to get a server back online
7. people
post-deployment maintenance, technical staff

SCVMM 2012 RC/CTP
SC APPCONTROLLER
A sneak peek into the future of Private Cloud management
SCVMM 2012 Beta
SCVMM 2012 - Fabric Management
Physical Server • Manage multiple hypervisors – Hyper-V, VMware, Xen
• Server hardware management – IPMI, DCMI, SMASH, Custom via Provider
• Host provisioning – from baremetal to Hyper-V to Cluster provisioning
Network • Define Logical Networks using VLANs and Subnets per datacenter
location
• Address management for Static IPs, Load Balancer VIPs and MAC addresses
• Automated provisioning of Load Balancers via Provider
Storage • Storage Management using SMI-S
• Discover storage arrays and pools
• Classify storage based on throughput and capabilities
• Discover or configure LUNs and assign to hosts and clusters
• Rapid provisioning of VMs using snap cloning of LUNs
SCVMM 2012 - Fabric Management
Update Management of Fabric Servers • Update operation control (On-demand scan and on-demand
remediation)
• Updating a Hyper-V cluster is fully automated
• Integrated with Windows Server Update Server
Dynamic Optimization (DO) • Cluster level workload balancing scheme to optimize for VM
performance
• Leverages live migration to move workloads
Power Optimization (PO) • Leverages live migration to pack more VMs per host
• Powers down servers to optimize for power utilization
Enhanced Placement • Over 100 placement checks/validation
• Support for custom placement rules
• Multi-VM deployment for Services
SCVMM 2012 - Service Lifecycle
Service Templates • Used to model a multi-tier application
• Source of truth for deployed service configuration
Applications • Built-in support for Web deploy, Server App-V, SQL DAC
• Custom command execution for other application packages
Image-based • OS separated from apps
• Composed during deployment
Servicing • Change the template and then apply that change to deployed
instances
• Upgrade domains ensures application availability during servicing

Summary
The Cloud is fun and useful… (the good)
…if you know how to use it… (the bad)
…while being prepared for anything (the ugly)
IDC predictions for 2012
http://www.idc.com/research/viewtoc.jsp?containerId=231593
1. Customers Will Face Confusing Choices as Virtualization, Cloud System
Software, and Infrastructure Automation Software Converge
2. Private Clouds Will Grow Like Gangbusters, One Use Case at a Time
3. 2012 Will Be VMware's Last Year as King of the Hill
4. Operational Complexity Will Drive Demand for Predictive Analytics and APM
5. Consumerization of IT Will Create New Management Challenges and Solutions
6. Platform as a Service Will Ramp Up Slowly Due to Lock-In Fears
7. Battle Royale Will Be Waged to Establish Linux Kernel of Cloud Computing
8. Enterprises Will Reconsider Benefits of Infrastructure Heterogeneity
9. There Will Be Layers for the Masses, Stacks for the Few
10. Windows 8 Will Launch with Split Success
