A Tale Of Two Workloads

Workload Dictates Architecture

Transitioning to the 3rd Platform

2nd Platform Workloads

2nd Platform Design Principles

Monolithic architectureStateful Services

Operator focusedSteady-state/ Predictable

2nd Platform Infrastructure Consumption Models

On-Premises Infrastructure Off-Premises Hosting

Design Goal: Resilient Infrastructures

3rd Platform Workloads

3rd Platform Design Principles

Distributed architecture

3rd Platform Infrastructure Consumption Models

Public Cloud Private Cloud

Design Assumption: Fragile Infrastructures

What’s Wrong with the Cloud?

We Architect Clouds for Rapid Scale

At Rapid Scale Chaos and Failures Are Inevitable

So Design for Failure

Designing For Failure

Let the Application Handle It’s Own Resiliency

Build Loosely-Coupled Distributed Systems

Message Bus

Focus on Scaling Horizontally

Choose Cattle Over Pets

• Pets needs care and feeding– Name the VM

– Tune and groom regularly

– Feed pets with good food and supplements

– Take pets to the vet when they are sick

• Cattle are disposable– Cloud instances are not unique– Tune and groom apps not the cattle– Replace when necessary– Shoot the cattle when it is sick

Embrace Automation and Cultural Change

Where OpenStack Fits In

25

Automation and Orchestration of IT Resources

26

Including Hypervisors Like vSphere

• OpenStack Compute is a manager of hypervisors

• OpenStack can manage multiple hypervisors– https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/HypervisorSupportMatrix

27

By Leveraging Various Open Source Projects

In a Loosely Coupled Architecture

29

To Deliver Self-Service IT Rapidly and At Scale

Building A Hybrid Cloud

31

vSphere Is Foundational

• Best hypervisor for 2nd Platform workloads

• On-ramp from 2nd to 3rd Platform

• Customers have existing investments in vSphere

• Customers want best-fit solutions

32

Co-existence: Infrastructure Silos

33

Integration: Multi-hypervisor OpenStack

34

Integration: EMC Federation with OpenStack

35

Multi-Cloud Hybrid Solution

Where To Go From Here

37

Next Steps

Embrace collaboration and cultural changes

Understand your business requirements

Catalog your current and future workloads

Choose the right architecture and tools

Choose the right partners
