However, there’s more involved in building and enabling a Private Cloud than simply purchasing and installing new hardware. NetApp and World Wide Technology (WWT) can get you to the Private Cloud. FlexPod™ provides the proven integrated yet flexible infrastructure you need to conquer the complexity of managing disparate data center components and achieve all of the benefits of a Private Cloud. And WWT has the powerful partnerships and superior expertise you need to stage, implement, optimize and protect your investments as you transition to an enhanced virtualized infrastructure. Together, we’ll show you exactly how to transform your data center and take the first steps toward enabling a Private Cloud with FlexPod. 1 SECTION 1 THE ROAD TO PRIVATE CLOUDS The National Institute of Standards and Technology Today, Private Clouds are gaining popularity particularly (NIST) defines Cloud Computing as “a model among business enterprises and government agencies for enabling ubiquitous, convenient, on-demand as they offer a secure option for delivering IT as a network access to a shared pool of configurable service and its many benefits including cost savings computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, and the ability to scale IT resources on-demand. But applications, and services) that can be rapidly building a Private Cloud involves more than purchasing provisioned and released with minimal management hardware. A Private Cloud is not complete without effort or service provider interaction.” Orchestration and Automation (Self-Provisioning, Self-Consumption, Charge Back and more via a There are several different types of clouds. A Public software layer that wraps on top of the hardware stack), Cloud is typically owned and operated by a third-party Business Logic and Processes as well as carefully organization and its infrastructure is made available defined security measures. to the general public or a large industry group for the purpose of accessing the third party’s applications, Clearly, enabling a Private Cloud is a process – one tools, IT resources or services via Software as a Service that begins with stabilizing your legacy environment, (SaaS) or Platform as a Service (PaaS) models. consolidating data and resources, as well as A Private Cloud infrastructure is operated solely for an standardizing operations with a common, and ideally, individual organization and it may be managed either by virtualized infrastructure, to eliminate data center that organization or a third party. Lastly, a Hybrid Cloud complexity and lower costs. The most cost effective is comprised of two or more clouds that are bound and efficient way to do this is with a “POD” or unified together by standardized technology to enable data and package of products and solutions for Virtualization, application portability. Compute, Networking and Storage that is pre- tested and supported by multiple OEMs who are committed to verifying future software and hardware updates to ensure complete compatibility and optimal performance. 2 SECTION 2 START WITH A STABLE INTEGRATED INFRASTRUCTURE To gain the economic and operational benefits of virtualization and take the first steps toward migrating to a Private Cloud, you must start with a unified, pre- tested stable infrastructure. A powerful solution that integrates validated technologies from three industry leaders in computing, storage, networking and server virtualization is FlexPod™. FlexPod is a single platform that combines NetApp’s and Cisco Systems’ proven unified compute, fabric and storage technologies with VMware’s trusted software virtualization platform. All of Flexpod’s components are pre-tested, integrated and standardized to facilitate rapid deployments and eliminate guesswork by proving predictable output of I/O, with known impacts for the FlexPod’s validated and integrated components make it traditional variables of power, cooling, square footage easy to centrally manage all of your infrastructure pools, and costs. so you can simplify operations while reducing storage costs without shrinking capacity or compromising Modeled after the infrastructures that deliver services security. And its Ethernet-based open design for the world’s largest cloud service providers, FlexPod framework means FlexPod fits right into your current combines the following leading components from infrastructure and integrates easily with existing third- VMware, Cisco Systems and NetApp to centralize party infrastructure management solutions, streamlining management of a virtualized infrastructure while deployment and eliminating the cost of replacing accelerating the journey to a private cloud: existing technology. 3 SECTION 3 ENSURE FLEXIBILITY AND SCALABILITY Unlike traditional solutions for virtualized infrastructures, which force you to purchase separate systems and components to accommodate different needs, FlexPod™ meets all of your virtualization requirements with a unified architecture that is flexible and highly scalable from the start. FlexPod comes with a sizing guide that shows you exactly how to flex the solution to meet current and long-term requirements. It can be easily optimized for a variety of mixed application workloads, configured for Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI), and scale to support Secure Multi-Tenancy (SMT) and Private Cloud moderate growth requirements can use FlexPod as a Environments to help you deliver IT as a Service. starting point for virtualization solutions, then scale up storage and compute pool capacity within a FlexPod With FlexPod, you get the technology you need configuration while maintaining centralized management to enable virtualization today with an integrated of the infrastructure solution. Larger enterprises with infrastructure, along with the flexibility you need to more mature IT processes can deploy and scale one grow at your own pace toward a Private Cloud. As or more FlexPod configurations to meet multiple FlexPod is built from unified compute, fabric and requirements, including: storage technologies, coupled with the most reliable • Migrating to a Shared Infrastructure with Multiple software virtualization platform, it can easily scale Applications vertically and horizontally to meet the largest data center requirements without disruption to your current • Improving Agility to Meet Growth and Mission- infrastructure or architectural changes in the future.

  • Intel ESS World Wide Technology Solution Brief
    Solution Brief Intel® Xeon® Processor Windows Server* 2003 Migration Data Center Modernization Turning OS Migration into a Modernization Opportunity World Wide Technology combines the best technologies from Microsoft, Cisco, and Intel for successful Windows Server* 2003 migrations—and more With Microsoft ending support for Windows Server* 2003 in July 2015, organizations that have not migrated to a new operating system by then will be out of compliance with existing business standards—possibly exposing themselves to vulnerabilities. But for forward-looking organizations, the Windows Server 2003 end of support is an opportunity to transform the data center and lay the foundation for growth. Global systems integrator World Wide Technology (WWT) is helping organizations take advantage of this opportunity. In collaboration with Microsoft, Cisco, and Intel, WWT has put together a flexible, cloud-enabled platform designed to reduce IT costs, improve service delivery, and help ensure successful integrated migration projects (Figure 1). The High Price of Inaction When it comes to Windows Server 2003, staying put is likely to cost more in the end. Lack of security patches can quickly put an organization out of compliance with standards and regulations, with potentially costly consequences. For example, Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS) noncompliance could mean companies such as Visa and MasterCard will no longer do business with an organization. Or the new cost of doing business could include paying extremely high transaction fees. Also, with no updates for any new threats, both virtualized and physical instances of Windows Server 2003 are vulnerable and would not pass a compliance audit. Many applications, once they are running on an unsupported OS, may no longer be supported as well.
