- 11. Data Center Design Trends • Containerization – Best HW packaging for cloud data centers • Server Server rack container warehouse • Commodity HW only, not a supercomputer – More efficient power distribution and thermal design – Unification of computing, memory, network and storage resources • Virtualization of all HW resources: Software-definable boundaries – Faster deployment: no on-premise installation needed – Requires light-out operation • Google-style data center design – End-to-end redundancy • Failure is a common case NCCU 11
- 12. Missing Links • Goal: Enable Taiwan to build data centers for the world • Container Computer 1.0 – Manageable container computer – Differences between a set of servers/switches/storage boxes and a container computer? • Scalable storage/network architecture • System management software • Energy-efficient cooling • Cloud Operating System 1.0 – End-to-end data center software stack for supporting a AWS-like service on a set of commodity HW – Tight integration of storage, resource, security and system/network management • First prototype of both expected at the end of 2010 NCCU 12
- 13. Container Computer 1.0 • Objective: Physical data center in a box • Architecture Design Principles: – Commodity HW only • No storage box, appliance or accelerator – System-wide optimization • Component vs. self-contained system • server container computer warehouse computer • Major features: – All-layer-2 data center network architecture – Scalable internet appliance logic – Touch cooling-based thermal management NCCU 13
- 14. Cloud Operating System 1.0 Objective: Multiplexing virtual data centers on a physical data center – No. of VM instances each with CPU performance and memory size requirement – Shared storage space requirement – External network bandwidth requirement – VPN setting – Firewall/IDS/IPS rules – Server load balancing policy – Public IP addresses – Network configuration, including DNS and DHCP – OS and application image Design Goals: – Very very very very… easy to manage for both physical and virtual data center administrators – Ability to hide HW failures from applications – Intelligent data center-wide power management – Multi-tenancy security – Scalability across all workloads NCCU 14

- 21. International Competition Landscape • United States: – Holds dominant position in all cloud computing segments – No industrial development policy • European Union – Leverages strength in telecom equipment/service business and focuses on “ cloud service systems”for carriers • Japan – Digital Japan Creation Project; Kasumigaseki cloud – NEC, Fujitsu, Hitachi enter the Cloud Infrastructure space • Korea – National Computing and Information Agency : 40 agencies’ IT departments consolidated by December 2007 – Carefully chosen cloud applications/services: IPTV, Green Internet Café, Mobile device, Smart Grid, On-line gaming, Tele-commuting, etc. • China – Being formulated – Huawei has already grabbed most of China Mobile’ data center s businesses NCCU 21
- 22. Conclusion • Cloud computing is all about consolidation of IT infrastructures and usage-based resource allocation • Most on-premise applications will eventually be cloudified • Cloud-scale data center industry is emerging • ITRI’ integrated data center solution, Container Computer s 1.0 + Cloud OS 1.0, is expected to provide 80% of the functionalities at 1/2 cost of current market-leading solutions NCCU 22
