Density in the Datacenter
Glenn Whitford David Siroky
Density Defined den·si·ty [den-si-tee] noun, plural den·si·ties. 1.the state or quality of being dense; compactness; closely set or crowded condition. 2.stupidity; slow-wittedness; obtuseness.
Agenda
• The Challenge
• The Value of Density
• The Solution: Density Optimized Dell Platforms
• Where You Win With Density
• Resources
The Challenge: From your perspective
• I need to . . . - add compute, storage, network capacity and . . . - scale those resources simultaneously to meet the
demands of applications, and . . . - deploy those resources more rapidly than I can today
• BUT . . . - I cannot physically expand my datacenter footprint - I have to manage these resources more efficiently - I need to repurpose staff and/or space

What is the Value of Density?
Using the common definition, density is packing more in the same space, but the value of density goes beyond space to include a host of other factors • Consolidation efficiencies and performance benefits • Generational improvements in hardware • Systems management efficiencies of scale • Power and cooling efficiency • Infrastructure savings • Physical space savings

Annual energy costs(lower numbers are better)
Power & Cooling Savings
• PowerEdge Energy Smart Containment Rack Enclosures
– 40U (based on 42U) and 46U (based on 48U) stand-alone cold-air cabinets for raised-floor data centers
– Integrated containment increases IT density and improves cooling efficiency
• Benefits
– Improve efficiency and reduce operating expenses with no over-provisioning or waste
– Easy to deploy and install, no assembly required
– Affordable and scalable containment – add one rack at a time anywhere in the data center
– Creates an opportunity to do something new
Physical Space Savings
• High-density and virtualized solutions decrease the number of physical servers or the space they occupy, increasing available floor space. This allows you to utilize physical space more efficiently and free up area for new investments
• In leased multi-tenant
environments, reduction in rented space may save you money.
• High-density consolidated solutions can reduce or avoid build-out costs, as less square footage and cabling are required for denser solutions that require fewer physical servers, or servers optimized for density.
Infrastructure Savings
Density, On Its Own, Only Gets Us So Far
• You are already heavily virtualized • You don’t upgrade systems every generation • You don’t have a space problem • You don’t have a power and cooling problem • You don’t require lots of scale

Networking for Dense Environments
18
Dell Networking Z9000
• 2.5Tbps in 2RU footprint
• High-density networking
– 32 line rate 40GbE or
– 128 line rate 10GbE
• Low power consumption
– 800 Watts Max (6.25W per 10GbE)
– 600 Watts Typical (4.68W per 10GbE)
Dell Networking S4810
• Ultra-low-latency 10/40 GbE
• 64x10GbE or 48x10GbE + 4x40GbE
• Layer 2 multipathing (VLT)
• Stacking (to 6 nodes)
• DCB support
• Built-in automation support and virtualization support

Management in Dense Environments
19
• Density drives a requirement for robust systems management processes • Dell recognized that dense environments often require simpler and highly flexible management • Dell technology improves manageability in dense environments
– M1000e CMC simplifies complete management for up to 9 chassis – iDRAC7 with Lifecycle Controller enables simple, robust, integrated remote configuration and management – OME for centralized element management of blades and racks
– vCenter Plugin, MS System Center, other 3rd party enablement
• Web 2.0 and HPCC customers incorporate this by necessity – Ex: OpenStack, Rocks (respectively)
• Smaller organizations struggle with this in both physical and virtual realms
Simple Management using Dell’s Chassis Management Controller • Like OpenManage Essentials, it’s agent free • Up to 9 chassis in one group
• Can clone and replicate • Can do 1 to many updates

Density is About More Than Compactness
23
• The Innovators Dilemma • Density creates room for something new
– M1000e is the vehicle for the Converged Blade Datacenter – MXL & IOA allow for 64 ports of 10GbE on Fabric A – 32 M420s takes full advantage of those ports – PS-M4110 allows for simple deployment of enterprise storage – CMC Enables simple management of this ecosystem
