Legacy Systems Approach

• Vendors ―simplify‖ by

• adding software layers

• providing professional services

• Each acquired separately

• Result is a complex stack of management software to support servers & high costs

• Difficult to scale

• Difficult to change

• Legacy mentality = • High OpEx , High CapEx

• Management complexityis driving server vendorservice & software revenues

Management Management

Mgmt Server

Server Deployment Today

Over the past 10 years• An evolution of size, not thinking

• More servers & switches than ever

• More switches per server

• Management applied, not integrated

Result• More points of management

• More difficult to maintain policy coherence

• More difficult to secure

• More difficult to scale

Virtualization Efficiencies


Data Center ArchitectureNetwork Requirements for Virtual Machines

Problems:VMotion

• VMotion may move VMs across physical ports—policy must

follow

• Impossible to view or apply policy to locally switched traffic

• Cannot correlate traffic on physical links—from multiple

VMs

UCS Manager

Embedded device manager

Discovery, Inventory, Monitoring, Diagnostics,

Statistics Collection, Configuration

Unifies many UCS HW components into a

single, cohesive, system

Adapters, blades, chassis, fabric extenders, fabric

interconnects

APIs for integration with new and existing

data center infrastructure

SMASH-CLP, IPMI, SNMP

XML SDK for commercial & custom implementations

Key Feature: Service Profiles

Coordinated deployment to managed endpoints


Hardware State

Traditional Paradigm for Server Identity

Today, server identity or ―state‖ is embedded in the physical hardware

E.g., MAC & WWN addresses burned into adapters, boot settings in BIOS

Server connectivity to LAN & SAN is tied to physical adapters and access portsE.g., Access port on LAN defines VLAN, SAN zoning and LUN masking done on HBA WWN

High Availability of Servers

SERVER FAILUREB440 : SAP ERP DB

Cluster for DB servers – When there is a Failure – there is an exposure to redundancy till the failed server is replaced.

In Traditional Environments this can take 4 - 5 Hrs Minimum during which there is an exposure of second failure bringing down the application

In Case of UCS - UCS Manager will enable movement of Failed Server –Service profile to the spare server – so that within minutes we are back in redundant mode.

Reducing Exposure from Hours to Minutes significantly increasing the High Availability of the overall Solution
