3. Legacy Networks Slow Application Deployment

Legacy Networks Slow Application Deployment
I need a video streaming VM
My virtual machine is ready
Rack 3, server 5
VLAN 10, 10 Mbps
Are you ready yet?
System Admin
Time in Weeks …
Which server are those VMs on?
Which subnets? How much bandwidth?
I need to start scripting
OK. Ready to connect.
Network Admin
Server admin has tools that allows them to manage based on policy
Legacy network admin uses low-level tools (CLI, Scripts) and is far-behind the current server tools. This is visible in the low-level questions the network admin needs to ask (e.g., which server). This is not something the server admin worries about, so why does the network admin.
The CLI is dead. The CLI is 40 year old technology. It was adaptated from Bridge Communications in the 1980s which adapted it from the original VAX.
Network administration needs modernization!
A typical data center with 500 servers, including approximately 20 virtual machines per server, requires manual provisioning of more than 50,000 networking attributes on a port-by-port basis. Deploying a new application in this environment requires extensive time and coordination across the server, network and data center administrative teams, which can take up to four weeks.(1)
For this typical data center, nearly a quarter-million command line entries would be required. According to Forrester, 75% of network outages are caused by human error. With nearly 250,000 command line entries needed for the typical example above (over 250 CLIs per VM), the potential for error is extremely high, which impacts.

Talking points:
To overcome IT sprawl, data centers need to make fundamental changes. In particular, they need to break down the IT silos and bring resources together into pools of virtualized assets that are shared by many applications and services. The solution to sprawl lies in a converged infrastructure that reunifies business, application, and infrastructure functions.
This convergence isn’t just about the virtualization of servers, storage systems, and network connections. We’re also talking about bringing together management tools and processes so resources can be managed in a holistic, integrated manner. And we’re talking about bringing together power and cooling approaches so systems and facilities work synergistically to make better use of energy—a huge cost area for data centers.
Today we will be focusing on the networking area of the converged infrastructure and the services available from HP.
