Virtual Machine Movement Use Cases

• Move to new data center for geographic re-location

• Workload balancing of hot spot to less used capacity

• Application migration to higher capacity server

• ~ 500 VMs @10 GB, 20 TB storage = 25 TB

Bulk VM Migration

• Take advantage of processing power for follow sun/moon locations

• End of period, peak load level need

• Burst capacity need

• ~ 100 VMs @ 5 GB, 10 TB storage = 10.5 TB

Frequent, Periodic VM

Migration

• Disaster avoidance

• Reached server capacity limit, need immediate off-load

• Immediate new project

• ~ 50 VMs @ 5 GB, 1 TB storage = 1.25 TB

Unplanned VM Move

• Change hardware platform (e.g. Sun to HP)

• ~ 10 VMs @ 2 GB, 500 GB storage = .52 TB

Problem Addressed: What, Why and How

What:

Enterprise data center evolution: consolidation, move to cloud

Why:

Increase IT service delivery capabilities

Reduce cost of IT service delivery

How:

Push virtualization across consolidated data center clouds

Deliver new IT infrastructure models across the enterprise, service provider boundary: hybrid and public cloud

Bring network fully into the picture to boost cloud performance, and cloud economics

An IT Technology Transformation Affecting the Network

virtualization only within data centers

“same old” inter-DC network uses:

– e.g., storage replication

– limited traffic

– static traffic patterns

virtualization extends across data centers

WAN moves inside the cloud machine

migrations of VMs & associated storage: new inter-DC traffic that is:

– machine-to-machine: performance key (bandwidth, latency, zero frame loss)

– dynamic: economics demand efficient use of a WAN capacity pool

WAN moves inside the “IT machine” … which changes inter-DC WAN requirements
