- 25. ADOPTING CHANGE
- 26. JANUARY 2007 26
- 27. SEPTEMBER 2007 STEVE BALLMER “Five hundred dollars? Fully subsidized? With a plan?” Ballmer chuckles in the way that only Ballmer chuckles. “That is the most expensive phone in the world. And it doesn’t appeal to business customers because it doesn’t have a keyboard, which makes it not a very good email machine.” Yet in 2014, 1.75 Billion people worldwide uses a smartphone with touch screen. 27
- 28. STORAGE IS CHANGING Over the last years storage solutions are shifting into more performant, economic, flexible and reliable solutions Physical server methods does not apply for virtual servers, this also applies for storage! VSAN is aimed at virtual machines VSAN is the future for storage for application centric virtual machines 28
- 30. COST CHALLENGE Traditional storage have high entry costs for similar performance Traditional storage upgrades only purchased in large increments – higher capex Traditional storage can outgrow the controllers 30
- 31. WHY VSAN LOWERED OUR TCO CAPEX ▪ Server-side economics ▪ Low Upfront Investment ▪ Granular Scaling ▪ Leverage Storage Hardware Cost Trend ▪ Higher Resource Utilization ▪ Linear & Predictable Cost Curve Price of storage components lower compared to full array(s) – 1 SSD + 7 nl-sas or SAS disks per server Storage controller OPEX • Higher Admin Productivity • Simpler Budgeting • No Specialized Skillset • VSAN is available vCloud Air Network Pricing (0.08 point per GB per month for allocated capacity) 31
- 32. OUR OPERATIONAL CHALLENGE Traditional storage arrays are more complex and will need dedicated specialized staff Traditional storage solutions are aligned to storage containers (LUN, volumes), not directly with VM needs Traditional storage replications and snapshots are LUN based not VM based Storage efficiency is within storage subsystem and not the VMware datastores Expanding storage arrays could have risk (different firmware on disks, expansion units etc) which could cause downtime 32
- 33. VSAN SIMPLIFIES OPERATIONS VSAN provides single tier 1 management layer (vCenter), no need to manage LUNs and volumes Snapshots and replication per VM Fast VM centric provisioning based on VM policies Different storage policies for VM’s depending on catalog Native integration with other VMware products like Operations Manager and vCloud Director 33
- 34. OUR RELIABILITY CHALLENGE Controller failures Operational Complexity RAID technology and rebuild times or even worst multiple disk failure Traditional storage is designed not to fail, BUT when it fails… oh Boy… 34
- 35. VSAN INCREASES RELIABILITY Scale out removes traditional controllers as point of failure Design for failure is a far better concept Scale out is perfect for service providers, buy when you need without decreasing performance Reliability policy per VM base rather than LUN No more LUN rebuild time 35
- 36. OUR SCALABILITY CHALLENGE Large increment storage upgrades Possible outages during storage upgrade FW levels expansion units, disks, controllers etc Human error LUN expansion - extends Outgrow controllers Different vendor / models complexity in future expansion 36
- 37. VSAN, THE IDEAL SCALABLE SOLUTION Scale out by adding new servers increases; CPU, Memory, Performance and capacity Controller performance is linear. More power needed more nodes installed If we would need more performance we can use larger SSD in new nodes Using auto deploy for new hosts to expand existing cluster minimizes human error 37
