Introduction Build and Manage the Private CloudExtend into Azure Next steps Agenda

Transform your datacenter into a private cloud Storage Discover, classify, and allocate storage for use by the private cloud. Provide the correct storage for use with appropriate access Network Abstract your complex networking infrastructure into virtualized logical networks for cloud use. Assign IP, virtual IP, and MAC addresses from pools and integrate with load balancers Compute Deploy your compute resources, taking them from bare-metal to fully deployed for your physical and virtualization hosts Cluster Consolidate your infrastructure components for use in a private cloud

Optimize storage infrastructure utilization Virtual Machine Manager

Utilize storage more effectively End-to-end mapping Create associations between storage and VM through reconciling data from Hyper-V and storage arrays Identify storage consumed by VM, host, and cluster Capacity management Add storage to a host or cluster through masking operations, initialization, partitioning, formatting, and CSV cluster resource creation Add storage capacity during new cluster creationRapid provisioningCreate new VMs taking advantage of the SAN to copy the VHD Utilize SMI-S copy services and replication profilesDeploy to host or cluster at scale

Expanding SMI-S support Storage management providers Enables the discovery of storage and mapping to virtual environment. VMM relies on storage providers that plug into SMAPI SMI-S CIMXML: Netapp, EMC, HP, IBM, Dell (Compellent), Fujitsu, Hitachi, Huawei, StarWind, LSI (Engenio)SMI-S WMI: LSI (MegaRaid) SMP WMI: Dell (EqualLogic), NexSANLifecycle indicationsRemote storage providers inform clients of changes in near real time , updating higher level cache engines to improve discovery performanceHostComputerSystemArrayStoragePoolStorageVolumeMaskingSCSIProtocolEndpoint StorageHardwareIDSCSIProtocolControllerEnhanced iSCSI/SAS supportManagement of iSCSI SANs that create new iSCSI targets with each new storage logical unit.

Abstracting network for simplicity with control I have a complex networking environment, and I don’t want to expose that complexity to folks who don’t need to know it I don’t care what physical adapter it uses, I just want to ensure this app is deployed on my production networkI have different datacenters, and each of them has different IP subnets – how do I easily assign my VMs to the production network without knowing the IP assignments underneath?I want to make it easy for my self-service users to create VMs on the network they want, but I want to have control of which NICs and IPs they use

Optimizing cloud utilization through dynamic optimization Virtual Machine Manager

Why dynamic optimization? As application workloads change, I need my private cloud to change resource utilization accordingly At the end of each quarter, my finance application needs more resources, but other times it is mostly idleI need to ensure all applications get the resources they need when they need them, and I can’t watch this all the timeIf I am not using resources, I don’t want to waste the energy to run the infrastructure. I want power only on what I need

Resource utilization Dynamic optimization in action Time of day Virtual Machine Manager Optimization threshold

Dynamic optimization fundamentals Live migration Keeps cluster balanced Avoids VM downtime Supports heterogeneous clusters Microsoft Hyper-V VMware vSphere Citrix XenServerManaged resourcesConsiders CPU, memory, disk IO, network IOOptimizes when resource moves above resource thresholdConsiders entire cluster Options Manual or automatic optimizationUser-controlled frequencyConfigurable aggressivenessDynamic optimization handles your ever-changing workloads

Power optimization in action Resource utilization Time of day Optimization threshold Virtual Machine Manager

Power optimization fundamentals Managed resources Considers CPU, memory, disk IO, and network IO Optimizes when resource moves below resource threshold Considers entire cluster User-defined schedule Optimized only within specified hours of the dayEnabled when dynamic optimization is set to “automated”Power operationsUses live migration to move VMs off the host before powering down Ensures that optimization will not overload remaining systemsEnsures that powering off will not violate cluster quorum requirementTakes advantage of out-of-band management for power operationsPower optimization helps conserve energy in the datacenter

Controlling Access To Your Private Cloud Virtual Machine Manager

Help protect your private cloud infrastructure in a shared environment I want to ensure that application owners have self-service access to the resources they require I need to apply resource quotas to my application owner I need to share the private cloud resources and allow different application owners to use the same infrastructureI want to control the type of self-service actions users can take
