STORAGE

Discover, classify, and allocate storage for use by the private cloud. Provide the correct storage for use with appropriate access.

Deploy your compute resources, taking them from bare metal to fully deployed for your physical and virtualisation hosts.

COMPUTE NETWORK

Abstract your complex networking infrastructure into logical networks for cloud use. Assign IP, virtual IP, and MAC addresses from pools and integrate with load balancers.

CLUSTER

Consolidate your infrastructure components for use in a private cloud.

Optimise Storage Infrastructure VirtualisationVirtual Machine Manager

RAPID PROVISIONINGCAPACITY MANAGEMENT

Utilise Storage More Effectively

Create associations between storage and VM through reconciling data from Hyper-V and storage arrays

Identify storage consumed by VM, host, and cluster

Add storage to a host or cluster through masking operations, initialisation, partitioning, formatting, and CSV cluster resource creation

Add storage capacity during new cluster creation

Create new VMs leveraging the SAN to copy the VHD

Utilise SMI-S copy services and replication profiles

Deploy to host or cluster at scale

END-TO-END MAPPING

Storage Allocation Process

Virtual Machine Manager

Tier 1 Tier 2

Assign existing LUNs to hosts and clusters

Logical Abstraction For The Network InfrastructureVirtual Machine Manager

LOAD BALANCERSADDRESS POOLS

Network Management

Classify network for VMs to access

Map to network topology

Allocate to hosts and clouds

Allocate a static IP address to VMs from a preconfigured pool

Create an IP pool as a managed range of IP address assignments

Create a MAC address pool as a managed range of MAC address assignments

Apply settings for load balancer capability in service deployment

Control load balancer through vendor provider based on PowerShell

Create virtual IP templates consisting of load balancer configuration settings

Specifies load balancing methods—round robin, least connections, fastest response

AUTOMATION

“Zero to Cluster” The Foundation For Your Private CloudVirtual Machine Manager

DELETIONMANAGEMENT

Host Clusters Bring The Fabric Together

Use wizard-based experience

Support cluster validation

Allocate cluster disks from managed storage

Create cluster-wide virtual network

Add and remove nodes, cluster disks, and virtual networks

Drag and drop host to add node to cluster

Monitor cluster health and status

Clustered hosts will become managed standalone hosts

Clustered disks will be returned to managed storage

Physical and virtual compute infrastructure deploymentStorage infrastructure managementLogical network infrastructure abstractionCluster creation brings the infrastructure together

Configure and Deploy – Private Cloud Infrastructure

Transform Your Data Centre Into A Private Cloud HETEROGENEITY

Create cloud abstractions across virtualised infrastructure from Microsoft, VMware, and Citrix.

ABSTRACTION

Take the underlying infrastructure of networking, storage, and compute, and abstract those resources into clouds.

ACCESS

Manage resource utilisation and service creation by delegating self-service access to cloud resources.

CONTROL

Standardise application deployment by using templates.
