Business and IT Challenges
• Data is growing quickly and free disk space was decreasing, creating need to scale storage
• Running out of CPU and RAM
• Wanted to migrate our Citrix infrastructure to virtual desktops with Horizon View 6
• We did not know how much disk space, i/o, compute needed for virtual desktops
• Performance problems with storage access
• We needed to implement SAP BI on our virtual infrastructure
Solution Implemented
• vSphere Flash Read Cache
• 4 new rack servers with FusionIO PCIe (HP 1205GB MLC G2 PCIe ioDrive2)
• 4 FusionIO mezzanine modules for existing blade servers (HP BLc 1.2TB MLC ioDrive)
• 8 vSphere hosts for general servers, all with vSphere 5.5 Enterprise Plus, 220 virtual servers
• Accelerate I/O intensive applications by adding a flash cache object to their disk files
• Before this, we did not have any flash acceleration at all
Software-Defined Storage with VMware Virtual SAN
• 4 new rack servers HP DL380p Gen8 with 2HE and 25 slots for 2,5” disks
• All 4 new servers have 3 disk groups contributing to the Virtual SAN Datastore. Each disk group has 7 HDDs (900GB 6G SAS 10k) and 1 SSD (800GB 6G SAS MLC)
• Cluster consists of 12 hosts (8 hosts for server VMs, 4 hosts for virtual desktops), distributed over 2 sites
• 8 hosts in the cluster have no disks contributing to Virtual SAN. Could be in a next step.
• Virtual SAN licenses for all 12 hosts (24 processors) so that every VM in the cluster could have it’s disk files on Virtual SAN
• Beginning to have all disk files of our virtual desktops on Virtual SAN.
• Our existing storage solution is based on 6 nodes of HP StoreVirtual 4630, which is still providing clustered storage for all our Server VM’s.
• Solution in place since August 2014
• Attention: Important to have all components on the VMware HCL

Implementing Horizon 6 (with View)
• All disk files are stored on our VMware Virtual SAN
• 4 servers (BL460c) are dedicated for our virtual desktops, using vSphere 5.5 Enterprise Plus
• Licensed are 150 VMs concurrent use with View Premier Add-on
• Within the VMs we are using Win7 and Win8.x, licensed via VDA (Virtual Desktop Access) or SA (Software Assurance). No Windows Server Datacenter license is bound to that servers
• DRS rules guarantee that only virtual desktops are running on these hosts
• We want to use our software distribution system, which are already in place for our physical desktop computers.
• This solution will replace our existing Citrix XenApp infrastructure
• Prototype is running well, Go Live is end of this year
Implementing Horizon 6 (with View)
• Dynamically generated linked clones for:
– mobile users with laptop or other devices
– users in remote locations
– home office users
• Persistent and dedicated full clones for
– administrative workstations

SAP BI on separate vSphere 5.5 cluster
• Purchased 2 new HP BL460c Gen8 servers
• Licenses purchased:
– VMware vSphere 5.5 Enterprise Plus for 4 processors
– Microsoft Windows Server Datacenter Edition for 4 processors
• SAP BI was a new implementation. We had nothing before.
• Separate cluster based on these 2 new hosts, part of the virtual distributed switch (vDS)
• The cluster hosts are separated into 2 datacenters/sites for high availability
Benefits Realized and Best Practices
• We now have 66 TB of new Virtual SAN disk space. All virtual desktop VMs are placed there. Enough disk space at the moment.
– For the future it is much easier and cheaper to scale storage. Just replace old blade servers with new rack server hardware including disks and SSD’s. No additional licenses are necessary.
• We have enough RAM and CPU for now, because of the 4 new additional servers.
• We dedicated the usage of the servers/hosts:
• 8 hosts for server VM’s
• 4 hosts for client VM’s (VDI)
• 2 hosts in a separate SAP cluster (starting with the SAP BI project)
• We optimized the Microsoft licensing. No Windows Server Datacenter licenses on the VDI hosts
• Horizon View enables us to flexibly provide users with virtual clients. They have the same look and feel as on physical computers, including all corporate software packets via software distribution.
• vFRC helps us now to solve disk performance issues of some critical applications
• SAP BI is now running very well in a separate cluster on separate hardware. We can scale by extending this cluster with more servers

Best Practices
Key elements of this success
Scrum
Scrum naturally focuses an entire organization
on building successful products. It delivers useful
features at regular intervals as requirements,
architecture, and design emerge, even when using
unstable technologies.
Scrum and Software Agility
Close collaboration between the
development team and business experts;
Face-to-face communication (as more
efficient than written documentation)
Frequent delivery of new deployable
business value software
Tight, self-organizing teams
Ways to craft the code and the team
to allow for continuous adaptation to
changing
