Cloud Today
The road to cloud…

 • “The network is the computer” – Sun (1988)
 • .dotcom era in 2000 – Outsource IT services 
   and infrastructure
 • Web email (Yahoo, Hotmail, Gmail) & YouTube
 • Salesforce.com and Amazon Web  Services
 • Nicholas Carr – The “Big Switch” 2008 and “IT is 
   dead”
 • Mobile Apps on hundreds of Million app‐capable 
   smart devices
What are we seeing in Cloud?

 • Moved from buzzword and hype to real 
   technology
 • Move from “When” to “How”
 • Agreements on Various Definitions
   – Payment Model
      • Software as a Service (SaaS)
      • Platform as a Service (PaaS)
      • Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
   – Delivery Model
      • Public, Private, Hybrid Clouds
Comparing the Delivery Vehicles

Cloud trends in 2011 – Private Clouds

 • The move to a hybrid world 
   – Large enterprises build out private clouds and 
     leverage public clouds for workloads such as
      • Dev/Test, Archiving, Disaster Recovery, Redundancy, 
        Web‐Serving
   – Gartner expects large enterprises to have a 
     dynamic sourcing team for cloudsourcing and 
     management
   – Focus on selecting the right building blocks
Cloud trends in 2011 – Big Data

 • Focus on “Big Data” and Databases
    – The old paradigm of RDBMS is no longer valid
    – Cloud‐native database
       • “No SQL”
       • Graph Databases
       • Hardoop HBase
 • Database.com – Transactional data processing and 
   analysis
 • Cloud is great for “Data‐as‐a‐service” combined with 
   Compute and Storage from Infrastructure as a 
   service
Cloud trends in 2011 – Truly Global

 • Cloud allows Emerging markets to levels the 
   playing field
   – New business models and access to markets
   – No previous IT investment or Legacy baggage
 • US based cloud providers are going after Asia 
   and EMEA markets
Cloud Platform Design Guidelines

 • Modular architecture 
   – Compute, Storage, Management, Network
 • Homogeneous pool of compute and storage 
   with uniform connectivity
 • Compute –
   – No more than 16 “small” machine instances per 
     server
   – Managed/VLAN networking mode to ensure 
     mutli‐tenancy network security
Cloud Platform Design Guidelines ‐ Storage


 • Single large store for all cloud storage
    – DAS, SAN, NAS
 • Block Storage (EBS) vs Application Aware(S3)
 • Separate persistent vs non‐persistent
 • Use SSD and Flash to improve performance
    – Compute DAS for caching VM images
    – Meta‐data Store
 • Storage based on “cheap good enough storage”
   (JBODs)
Design Guidelines ‐ Redundancy

 • Redundancy moves from hardware into the 
   software and application
 • Most public clouds builders lack network, 
   power and disk redundancy
 • PDU and Rack Switch failure will take down 
   lots of servers
 • Flatness at Edges – Avoid tiers when possible
Design Guidelines – Hyperscale

 • Simple network routing and configuration
 • Higher Density
 • Minimize shared physical infrastructure
 • Modularity, consistency and simplicity is the 
   key
 • Have the ability to add
   capacity to the datacenter
   rapidly
Cloud Datacenter Key Design Points

• High x86 server & storage 
  density
   – Designed to scale
• Build To Order flexibility
   – Broad range of configurations
• Eco‐Logical™ focus on 
  lowering OpEx:
   – Low power consumption 
   – High efficiency AC and DC 
     power supplies
   – Innovative, effective cooling

  • 1. Next Generation Cloud Data Center Jason Pan Senior Director and Consultant SGI and Digital China
  • 4. The road to cloud… • “The network is the computer” – Sun (1988) • .dotcom era in 2000 – Outsource IT services  and infrastructure • Web email (Yahoo, Hotmail, Gmail) & YouTube • Salesforce.com and Amazon Web  Services • Nicholas Carr – The “Big Switch” 2008 and “IT is  dead” • Mobile Apps on hundreds of Million app‐capable  smart devices
  • 5. What are we seeing in Cloud? • Moved from buzzword and hype to real  technology • Move from “When” to “How” • Agreements on Various Definitions – Payment Model • Software as a Service (SaaS) • Platform as a Service (PaaS) • Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) – Delivery Model • Public, Private, Hybrid Clouds
  • 6. Comparing the Delivery Vehicles Traditional Delivery Cloud Based Applications Software‐as‐a‐Service  (SaaS) Development Tools Development‐as‐a‐Service (Daas) Middleware Platform‐as‐a‐Service (PaaS) Infrastructure and  Infrastructure‐as‐a‐Service Hardware (IaaS)
  • 7. Cloud trends in 2011 – Private Clouds • The move to a hybrid world  – Large enterprises build out private clouds and  leverage public clouds for workloads such as • Dev/Test, Archiving, Disaster Recovery, Redundancy,  Web‐Serving – Gartner expects large enterprises to have a  dynamic sourcing team for cloudsourcing and  management – Focus on selecting the right building blocks
  • 8. Cloud trends in 2011 – Big Data • Focus on “Big Data” and Databases – The old paradigm of RDBMS is no longer valid – Cloud‐native database • “No SQL” • Graph Databases • Hardoop HBase • Database.com – Transactional data processing and  analysis • Cloud is great for “Data‐as‐a‐service” combined with  Compute and Storage from Infrastructure as a  service
  • 9. Cloud trends in 2011 – Truly Global • Cloud allows Emerging markets to levels the  playing field – New business models and access to markets – No previous IT investment or Legacy baggage • US based cloud providers are going after Asia  and EMEA markets
  • 10. Cloud Platform Design Guidelines • Modular architecture  – Compute, Storage, Management, Network • Homogeneous pool of compute and storage  with uniform connectivity • Compute – – No more than 16 “small” machine instances per  server – Managed/VLAN networking mode to ensure  mutli‐tenancy network security
  • 11. Cloud Platform Design Guidelines ‐ Storage • Single large store for all cloud storage – DAS, SAN, NAS • Block Storage (EBS) vs Application Aware(S3) • Separate persistent vs non‐persistent • Use SSD and Flash to improve performance – Compute DAS for caching VM images – Meta‐data Store • Storage based on “cheap good enough storage” (JBODs)
  • 12. Design Guidelines ‐ Redundancy • Redundancy moves from hardware into the  software and application • Most public clouds builders lack network,  power and disk redundancy • PDU and Rack Switch failure will take down  lots of servers • Flatness at Edges – Avoid tiers when possible
  • 13. Design Guidelines – Hyperscale • Simple network routing and configuration • Higher Density • Minimize shared physical infrastructure • Modularity, consistency and simplicity is the  key • Have the ability to add capacity to the datacenter rapidly
  • 14. Cloud Datacenter Key Design Points • High x86 server & storage  density – Designed to scale • Build To Order flexibility – Broad range of configurations • Eco‐Logical™ focus on  lowering OpEx: – Low power consumption  – High efficiency AC and DC  power supplies – Innovative, effective cooling  techniques
