Schneider Electric 1 Foundational BUSINESS OVERVIEW Rev 2 Virtualization and physical infrastructure Integrations with Microsoft and VMware

Slide 2

Schneider Electric 2 are now talking to each other Virtual machine management and physical infrastructure management Physical infrastructure management Virtual machine management vSphere

Slide 3

Schneider Electric 3 Whats the problem? Which VMs are on a host server with compromised physical health? Power Cooling Where should I move a VM, or add a new one? What is the best healthy host server? How do I find this place? How do my VMs migrate? When a physical event occurs, who/what will move the VMs? Is this an automated or a manual process? Effect on business process? In a physical event, what business process(es) could be impacted?

Slide 6

Schneider Electric 6 6 CPU efficiency Traditional server utilization rate: ~10-15% (usually higher for storage) Virtualized server utilization rate: Up to 80% VMs can be turned off when not needed Server consolidation Fewer servers to buy/install/maintain Floor footprint Reduced floor space because fewer servers needed Disaster recovery Virtualized servers can be easily mirrored in case of trouble with their physical host server Labor cost Easier hardware provisioning and maintenance Fast server deployment No need to purchase and deploy new physical servers, which can take weeks Quick review Why virtualize?

Schneider Electric 10 VMs migrate to a more productive work space... Processor Memory Storage Virtualization platform If a VM needs more PROCESSOR, MEMORY, or STORAGE, it migrates to a physical server with available resources Processor Memory Storage Virtualization platform PHYSICAL SERVER WITH MORE RESOURCES PHYSICAL SERVER Virtual machine manager Virtual machine including its operating system and running applications The big two VM managers are...

Slide 11

Schneider Electric 11 Schneider Electric 11... to maximize computing throughput Virtualized servers VMs move around as their computing demands vary, to optimize use of physical server resources Virtualization is part of a general move toward optimizing the ultimate data center efficiency metric: COMPUTING PER WATT

Slide 12

Schneider Electric 12 Schneider Electric 12 But equally important COOLING VMs depend critically on the POWER and COOLING that keeps their host server healthy POWER VMs must not only be PRODUCTIVE...... they must also be physically HEALTHY

Slide 13

Schneider Electric 13 Schneider Electric 13 Why move a VM? Reasons on both sides... The virtual machine manager Not enough PROCESSOR Not enough MEMORY Not enough STORAGE Not enough COMPUTE resources... Power outage on battery, low battery Cooling trouble failure of a cooling device Loss of redundancy in power or cooling Power Cooling Operations There is physical DANGER... OR watches this side PowerCooling

Slide 14

Schneider Electric 14 Schneider Electric 14 What if VMs could know when to migrate away from an unhealthy server? COOLING POWER XX

Slide 15

Schneider Electric 15 Schneider Electric 15 Now they can ! Virtual machine manager Operations COMPUTE management and PHYSICAL management are talking COMPUTE management Moving VMs for best productivity Keeping watch on power and cooling PHYSICAL management Trouble OK, taking action!

Slide 18

Schneider Electric 18 Schneider Electric 18 Getting started: A human configures the system LAYOUT of room and racks POWER TRAIN from UPS to rack LOCATION and TYPE of power/cooling devices VM IDENTIFICATION for each VM VM GROUPS with similar physical requirements (criticality, redundancy) ALERT PROFILE for each group Virtual machine mapPower/cooling map Rack location Business process running on it Owner Operations

Slide 19

Schneider Electric 19 Schneider Electric 19 The power/cooling map Location of racks and power/cooling equipment From this map and airflow modeling, Operations can calculate which racks will be affected by a power/cooling event

Slide 20

Schneider Electric 20 Schneider Electric 20 Alert profile Specified for each user-defined VM group Specifies thresholds and conditions that should trigger an alert for the group Examples: Cooling system failure Power approaching overload Low battery Power/cooling redundancy compromised Each profile can be tailored to comply with the organizations policies for incident management

Slide 21

Schneider Electric 21 Schneider Electric 21 Virtual machine manager I know where my VMs are I know the POWER/COOLING landscape The result: Automated vigilance... and I will move them to a safe rack when you tell me there is trouble... and I will tell you when there is danger to your VMs and where it is safe to move them Operations

Slide 23

Schneider Electric 23 Schneider Electric 23 An incident looks like this... Impacted Host This host is impacted by a failure in the physical infrastructure. StruxureWare Operations has detected that this host is in a critical state and is no longer suitable for hosting virtual machines. This monitor tracks the impact of the physical infrastructure such as power supply and cooling. The host is currently impacted by a physical incident. Cause and resolution This host relies on physical infrastructure which is currently in a critical state. To ensure that the virtual machines running on this host remain available, PRO will migrate them to a healthy host.

Do I have stranded capacity of power, cooling, or space? Monitor physical conditions Warn of trouble spots Talk to the VM manager Track inventory and provisioning of equipment The physical server for automation tools This is the one were talking about, for communication with VIRTUAL servers These are for management of PHYSICAL servers
