15. © 2014 IBM Corporation 15 Customer pain points with OpenStack adoption How to place workloads for optimal QoS? How to migrate VMs as conditions change? How to reduce power consumption? Guarantee capacity for planned workloads? How share resources among competing tenants? How to optimally use software licenses? Improve automation to reduce administration effort? Two key limitations:  Static allocation decisions  Deals with initial placement only – no ongoing optimization

16. © 2014 IBM Corporation 16 The need for smarter scheduling Static, simple scheduling leads to sub-optimal allocation: Some hypervisors under-utilized  Waste of resources  Over-provisioned infrastructure  Excess power, cooling & facilities  Requires administrator attention  Risk of human error and further issues Hypervisor idle capacity Hypervisor Other hypervisors over-loaded  Poor application performance  Application outages / downtime  Increased support costs  Requires administrator attention  Risk of human error and further issues
