VIRTUALIZATION BUILT IN...SOLARIS: THE FOUNDATION FOR THE DYNAMIC DATACENTER

State of Infrastructure Today

• 41m physical servers by 2010 – 700% increase in 15 years

• Ave UT < 10% = $140 bn in excess server capacity – a 3 year supply

Server SprawlPower and Cooling

• DC space costs 10’s of millions to build

• Limits on facilities upgrades in existing sites

• $8 in maintenance for every $1 spent on new infrastructure

• 20-30:1 Server-to-admin ratio

Space CrunchOperating Cost

Source: IDC

• 50¢ for every $1 spent on servers

• $29 bn in power and cooling industry wide

Global IT Challenges

• Under-utilized systems limit business growth

• Energy costsdrain the bottom line

• Sprawling IT infrastructure is hard to manage

• Disaster recovery planning is non-negotiable

• Downtime isnot an option

• Remote management

• Ability to deploy new services is critical to remain competitive

• IT resources must be easier to allocate

Virtualization Challenges

• Increased management complexity> Still need to manage hardware and OS

• Virtualization density requires performanceand management skills

• Management solutions are custom-constructed by the customer using multiple tools

• Performance overhead can limit possiblecost savings

• New security challenges

Different Usage Scenarios

• Eco consolidation – Retire legacy systems

• Consolidate many small applications on different OSes

• Adapt application resources/locationto business changes

• Protect Web facing applications• Consolidate vertically scaling

applications – databases

14

• Virtualization allows the move to newer more efficient systems> SPARC: Solaris 8 and 9 Containers

• Lower the power/cooling/space/support cost on running these applications

Consolidate Many Small Applicationson Different OSes

• A hypervisor allows the consolidation of many small apps> SPARC: Logical domains, dynamic domains> X86: VirtualBox, xVM hypervisor, VMware, Hyper-V

• Each VM can have their own patch level

United States Air ForceSolution • Consolidation with Solaris Containers• Products and Services: Solaris 10

Operating System, Sun SPARC Enterprise T5240 Server, Sun Fire T2000 Server

Results• Reduce rack space to achieve a 13:1

consolidation ratio and reclaim datacenter floor space

• Decreased server deployment time by more than 90% with Logical Domains (LDoms)

• Cut datacenter power consumption by more than 25% and reclaimed nearly 50% of datacenter floor space with eco-responsible servers

• Provided customers better service levels at a lower cost

Overview • Managed service provider to

the U.S. Air Force• Capabilities Integration

Environment (CIE) facilitates development and testing of software applications prior to production use

• Consolidated servers using the Containers feature in the Solaris 10 Operating System

Challenge• Optimize hardware utilization• Conserve datacenter floor space,

power, and cooling• Build a scalable architecture• Keep up with growth and expand

customer base

•Leverage Sun’s Try and Buy Program•Deploy proven Solaris 10 partitioning and virtualization capabilities, using Sun Fire T2000 servers and Logical Domains (LDoms)•Results

•Increased server performanceand efficiency•Reduced physical space requirements•Lower energy consumption•Highly stable environment

“When we failed over from the old system to the Sun Fire T2000, the application went from 50 percent CPU utilization down to 15 percent. We were just dumbfounded to learn that it was only using 15 percent of one core of this eight-core CPU.”

Secure Internet Facing Applications

• Many companies want a Web presence• Web-facing applications often need to be dynamic• These applications are often new and untested

• Hackers can de-face website or steal data• Hackers can gain access to the corporate network

• Use Solaris Containers/Trusted Extensions to “lock down” the application environment

Secure Internet Facing Applications

• A locked down environment can protect > x86 and SPARC: Solaris Containers

• Control the content from outside Container

• Totally isolate the internet network from LANFi

Consolidate Vertical Scaling Apps

• Insurance agency with many field offices

• Databases need many threads (CPUs) to perform• Field offices only get ~20 inquiries per day

> Systems and database licenses are very under utilized

• Consolidate the databases in Containers on anM-Series system

• Compress the costs of 40 databases into that of ~2!

26

Consolidate Vertical Scaling Apps

• Using the new M-series allow to vertically scaling> Powerful CPU, lots of memory> Use Solaris containers to “cap” the CPU to the right level

• Solaris Containers considered a license boundary for both Oracle & IBM

xVM Server

• High performance network and I/O – bare metal performance• Consolidated old Solaris versions• Limit the security breach of your web application• Consolidate very dynamic applications

• Migrate VMs to fit business changes• Most of the hypervisor built into the chip – very little overhead• Redundant I/O paths

• Run any x86 OS on shared infrastructure• Migrate VMs to fit business changes• Move old OSes onto newer share/more efficient hardware

• High isolation – dedicated hardware• High performance network and I/O – bare metal performance • No software single point of failure• Run multiple OSes on the same system
