Why cloud computing?

• Short deadlines require fast access to resources

• Tight budgets mean more is needed from less hardware

Global Marketing

Better resource utilization for each server

Virtualization can solve part of the problem HYPERVISORS PROVIDE ABSTRACTION BETWEEN APPS AND HARDWARE (SERVERS)

HOST 1 HOST 2 HOST 3 HOST 4, ETC.

VM

Hypervisor

(VMWare ESX, Citrix XEN Server, KVM, Etc.)

Hardware abstraction for each server

How do you empower people to self-service?

USERS ADMINS

How do you make your apps cloud aware?

Where should you provision new VMs? How do you keep track of it all?

But questions arise as the environment grows... “VM SPRAWL” CAN MAKE THINGS UNMANAGEABLE VERY QUICKLY

OpenStack is the Open Source Software Powering

Public and Private Clouds

Public Cloud:

OpenStack powers some

of the worlds largest public

cloud deployments.

2. Cloud Data Center 1. Server Virtualization

Private Cloud:

Run OpenStack software

in your own

data centers

Global Marketing

• What is it: An open source cloud operating system

• Who’s building it: A worldwide community of developers

• Who controls it: OpenStack Foundation, backed by AT&T, Canonical, Cisco, ClearPath, Cloudscaling, Dell, DreamHost, HP, IBM, ITRI, Mirantis, Morphlabs, Nebula, NetApp, Piston, Rackspace, Red Hat, SUSE, and Yahoo! (so far)

• Addresses Real Market Pains –Limits costly software licenses –Limits lock-in by vendors (VMware) & by providers

(Amazon) –Allows for massive scalability –Extensible hypervisor support (Xen, KVM, Hyper-V,

etc.) –Offers standard APIs enabling growing cloud

ecosystem

OpenStack is commoditizing the IaaS market from single provider (Amazon) to many small

copy cats (startups).

• Includes all the components required to implement an entire cloud infrastructure including ecosystems partners

• Pluggable components deploy cloud infrastructure.

• Allow for addition of Dell IP and expansion by the community services and customers

• Can integrate with Dell existing products • Delivers basic data center services and

required cloud infrastructure.

• Provision bare-metal servers from box to cloud WITHOUT user intervention (other than racking/cabling and some minimal configuration questions)

* Crowbar has potential to service other programs beyond OpenStack
