IDC o POWER8• Power based solutions can deliver exceptional

performance, and where software is priced on a per server or per processor basis, this can be a differentiator. In addition, Power Systems can run Unix or multiple distributions of Linux, and IBM's move to embrace total open source solutions on Power (including KVM, OpenStack, etc.) is helping to further level the playing field. The difference between continuing along the current path of flat or declining sales, vs. a disruptive effect for Power Systems will hinge on whether customers perceive POWER8 and its open ecosystem as a solution that merely addresses current needs better than x86 systems, or whether Power Systems truly addresses a set of important unmet needs.

OpenStack

is a free and open-source software cloud computing software platform. Users primarily deploy it as an infrastructure as a service (IaaS) solution. The technology consists of a series of interrelated projects that control pools of processing, storage, and networking resources throughout a data center—which users manage through a web-based dashboard, command-line tools, or a RESTful API. OpenStack.org release it under the terms of the Apache License.

More than 200 companies have joined the project, including Arista Networks, AT&T, AMD, Avaya, Canonical, Cisco, Dell, EMC, Ericsson, Go Daddy, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Intel, Mellanox, Mirantis, NEC, NetApp, Nexenta, Oracle, Red Hat, SUSE Linux, VMware and Yahoo!.

Page 23: IBM POWER Systems

OpenStack has a modular architecture with various code names for its components

Compute (Nova)OpenStack Compute (Nova) is a cloud computing fabric controller, which is the main part of an IaaS system. It is designed to manage and automate pools of computer resources and can work with widely available virtualization technologies, as well as bare metal and high-performance computing (HPC) configurations. KVM and Xen are available choices for hypervisor technology, together with Hyper-V and Linux container technology such as LXC

Object Storage (Swift)OpenStack Object Storage (Swift) is a scalable redundant storage system. Objects and files are written to multiple disk drives spread throughout servers in the data center, with the OpenStack software responsible for ensuring data replication and integrity across the cluster. Storage clusters scale horizontally simply by adding new servers. Should a server or hard drive fail, OpenStack replicates its content from other active nodes to new locations in the cluster. Because OpenStack uses software logic to ensure data replication and distribution across different devices, inexpensive commodity hard drives and servers can be used.

Page 24: IBM POWER Systems

Block Storage (Cinder)OpenStack Block Storage (Cinder) provides persistent block-level storage devices for use with OpenStack compute instances. The block storage system manages the creation, attaching and detaching of the block devices to servers. Block storage volumes are fully integrated into OpenStack Compute and the Dashboard allowing for cloud users to manage their own storage needs. In addition to local Linux server storage, it can use storage platforms including Ceph, CloudByte, Coraid, EMC (VMAX and VNX), GlusterFS, Hitachi Data Systems, IBM Storage (Storwize family, SAN Volume Controller, XIV Storage System, and GPFS), Linux LIO, NetApp, Nexenta, Scality, SolidFire, HP (StoreVirtual and 3PAR StoreServ families) and Pure Storage.

Networking (Neutron)OpenStack Networking (Neutron, formerly Quantum) is a system for managing networks and IP addresses. OpenStack Networking provides networking models for different applications or user groups. Standard models include flat networks or VLANs that separate servers and traffic. OpenStack Networking manages IP addresses, allowing for dedicated static IP addresses or DHCP. Floating IP addresses let traffic be dynamically rerouted to any resources in the IT infrastructure, so users can redirect traffic during maintenance or in case of a failure.

Dashboard (Horizon)OpenStack Dashboard (Horizon) provides administrators and users a graphical interface to access, provision, and automate cloud-based resources. The design accommodates third party products and services, such as billing, monitoring, and additional management tools.

Page 25: IBM POWER Systems

Identity Service (Keystone)OpenStack Identity (Keystone) provides a central directory of users mapped to the OpenStack services they can access. It acts as a common authentication system across the cloud operating system and can integrate with existing backend directory services like LDAP. It supports multiple forms of authentication including standard username and password credentials, token-based systems and AWS-style (i.e. Amazon Web Services) logins.

Image Service (Glance)OpenStack Image Service (Glance) provides discovery, registration, and delivery services for disk and server images. Stored images can be used as a template. It can also be used to store and catalog an unlimited number of backups. The Image Service can store disk and server images in a variety of back-ends, including OpenStack Object Storage. The Image Service API provides a standard REST interface for querying information about disk images and lets clients stream the images to new servers.OpenStack's image is an operating system installed on a virtual machine (VM). If a developer adds a variation to an image (as a configuration job) the result is an instance of that image. Subsequently, that instance is an image that developers can add more variations to.

Telemetry (Ceilometer)OpenStack Telemetry Service (Ceilometer) provides a Single Point Of Contact for billing systems, providing all the counters they need to establish customer billing, across all current and future OpenStack components. Orchestration (Heat)Heat is a service to orchestrate multiple composite cloud applications using templates, through both an API.Database (Trove)Trove is a database-as-a-service provisioning relational and non-relational database engines.

IBM Virtualization Center for Power Systems

Page 27: IBM POWER Systems

- advanced virtualization management

Using IBM Power Virtualization Center, you can do the following:Register physical hosts, a storage system, and network resources and

use them to create a virtual environment.Create, resize, and attach volumes to virtual machines.Monitor the utilization of the resources that are in your environment.Migrate virtual machines while they are running (hot migration).Capture a running virtual machine that is configured just the way you

want it to be. When you capture the virtual machine, an image is created that can be deployed multiple times in your environment.

Deploy images quickly to create new virtual machines that meet the demands of your ever-changing business needs.
