VIRTUALIZATION BUILT IN... SOLARIS: THE FOUNDATION FOR THE DYNAMIC DATACENTER

1 State of Infrastructure Today

Power and Operating Cost Cooling Space Crunch Server Sprawl

• $8 in maintenance • 50¢ for every $1 • DC space costs • 41m physical for every $1 spent on spent on servers 10’s of millions servers by 2010 – new infrastructure • $29 bn in power and to build 700% increase in 15 years • 20-30:1 Server-to- cooling industry wide • Limits on facilities admin ratio upgrades in • Ave UT < 10% = existing sites $140 bn in excess server capacity – a 3 year supply

Economics Business Continuity Business and Ecology and Resilience Agility

• Under-utilized • Disaster recovery • Ability to deploy systems limit planning is non- new services is business growth negotiable critical to remain competitive • Energy costs • Downtime is drain the bottom not an option • IT resources line must be easier • Remote to allocate • Sprawling IT management infrastructure is hard to manage

5 Virtualization Challenges

• Increased management complexity > Still need to manage hardware and OS • Virtualization density requires performance and management skills • Management solutions are custom-constructed by the customer using multiple tools • Performance overhead can limit possible cost savings • New security challenges • Proprietary solutions Getty images: 200315535-001.jpg

12 Different Usage Scenarios

• Eco consolidation – Retire legacy systems • Consolidate many small applications on different OSes • Adapt application resources/location to business changes • Protect Web facing applications • Consolidate vertically scaling applications – databases

13 Eco Consolidation with Solaris

“When we failed over from the old system to the Sun Fire T2000, the application went from 50 percent CPU utilization down to 15 percent. We were just dumbfounded to learn that it was only using 15 percent of one core of this eight-core CPU.” — Paul Monaghan, Manager, Service Platform Engineering Team, Primus Canada

22 Secure Internet Facing Applications

Problem • Many companies want a Web presence • Web-facing applications often need to be dynamic • These applications are often new and untested

Risk • Hackers can de-face website or steal data • Hackers can gain access to the corporate network

Solution • Use Solaris Containers/Trusted Extensions to “lock down” the application environment

23 Secure Internet Facing Applications An Example Configuration to Prevent Web Page Hijacking

Solaris 10 Private Public LAN Internet Datazone Webzone 10.0.0.200 129.152.1.200

/shared Read/Write Read Only

• A locked down environment can protect Firewall > x86 and SPARC: Solaris Containers • Control the content from outside Container • Totally isolate the internet network from LAN

24 Consolidate Vertical Scaling Apps

Example • Insurance agency with many field offices

Problem • Databases need many threads (CPUs) to perform • Field offices only get ~20 inquiries per day Result > Systems and database licenses are very under utilized Solution • Consolidate the databases in Containers on an M-Series system • Compress the costs of 40 databases into that of ~2!

25 Consolidate Vertical Scaling Apps

40 x 8 Way Systems One 16 Way System Total Saving Cost Cost Cost

• 40 x $old-systems SWaP • 1 x $new system SWaP • 38 x power/cooling/space • 40 x 8 x $database • 1 x 12 x $database • 38 x 8 x $database

• Using the new M-series allow to vertically scaling > Powerful CPU, lots of memory > Use Solaris containers to “cap” the CPU to the right level • Solaris Containers considered a license boundary for both Oracle & IBM
