11 Software Defined Infrastructure
Available in PowerVC (Dec 15)

12 Enterprise Power Infrastructure
Storage Compute Network Storage (e.g., V7000) SAN Switch (e.g., Brocade) HMC Power Systems (NovaLink / HMC) Ethernet Switch Enterprise Strong performance and reliability characteristics Well-known deployment patterns Redundant Virtual I/O Servers for high availability

13 Software Defined Infrastructure
Software Defined Systems Storage Compute Network Software Defined Configurations Utilizing software defined network and storage capabilities enable: IBM Spectrum Scale (GPFS) integration enables building a cluster across local disks or iSCSI attached LUNs Virtual networks built across the servers via Open vSwitch and OpenStack’s SDN Enables Ethernet-Only environments Storage (e.g., V7000) SAN Switch (e.g., Brocade) HMC Power Systems (NovaLink / HMC) Ethernet Switch Enterprise Strong performance and reliability characteristics Well-known deployment patterns Redundant Virtual I/O Servers for high availability

14 Three focus areas for SDI
Software Defined Networking Enables virtual networks (overlays) Wide array of network cards Takes advantage of I/O Acceleration (ex. vxlan) with Linux Drivers Software Defined Storage Use a wide range of storage - Local Disks, Fibre Channel or iSCSI Software Defined Compute Pick your hypervisor for your needs PowerVM or KVM (LC Model support) IBM Spectrum Scale NovaLink iSCSI Disk FC Disk Local Disk

15 Key Enabling Technology – PowerVM Open I/O
Cloud Management Customers can manage PowerVM in the cloud through NovaLink OpenStack for heterogeneous data centers PowerVC for Power-specific deployments Enhancement to NovaLink to support VIOS or Open I/O Extends PowerVM/VC use cases NovaLink Linux-IO vSCSI Open vSwitch Nova vETH Client LPAR Neutron SDN Spectrum Scale Virt Management FSP Virtualization Framework Enable virtualization through Linux-based framework SDN integration built on Open vSwitch SDS integration built on Linux I/O system Ecosystem Enables a broad range of adapters Enables a broad range of storage backends Considerations PowerVM Open I/O does not yet support LPAR level redundancy

16 Visualizing the Storage Layer
OLTP AIX LPAR Linux LPAR IBM i LPAR DevOps 3. vSCSI from file to LPAR 2. File Storage (Spectrum Scale on NovaLink) 1. Block Storage (Local or External)

17 Comparison of the I/O options
Software Defined Infra Virtual I/O Servers Storage Cloud I/O Choices Local Disks, iSCSI, FC FC (expanding) Connection Options vSCSI from Spectrum Scale vSCSI from SSP vSCSI to Storage Array NPIV to Storage Array Network Bridge Open vSwitch Shared Ethernet Protocols Flat (untagged), VLAN, VXLAN VLAN Link Aggregation Yes Other Virtual Routers NAT Hypervisor Based Access Control (tech preview) QoS (tech preview) VIOS level load balancing SR-IOV w/ vNIC Overall I/O LPAR Redundancy No

18 SDI Use Cases

19 SDS Use Case: Build a SAN-Less Cloud
Inventory SAN-Less Cloud Virtual SAN is built on top of the Ethernet connection and the Local Disks Spectrum Scale “FPO” mode is used Three copies of data are kept in case of a server or disk failure Set up in hours, no storage “silo” involved You have S822’s with Local Disks You have 10/40 GigE Network (between servers) You do not have a SAN

20 SDS Use Case: Build an iSCSI backed Cloud
Inventory iSCSI backed Cloud Cluster is built on top of disks provided by iSCSI SAN Replication is regulated to the iSCSI provider Identical story available for multi pathing Storage Silo only needs to provide iSCSI targets You have S822’s with Boot Disks You have 10/40 GigE Network (between servers) You do have an iSCSI SAN

21 Benefits PowerVC manages the cluster on your behalf
Auto detects as part of host registration that the server is meant for Software Defined Builds an optimized cluster, removing all the guess work Will orchestrate the update of Spectrum Scale across your environment for you Limited Interaction with Silos SAN-less requires no storage team involvement SAN Backed requires that the LUNs are set up once and are done No need to convince storage team to let PowerVC access backing device Requirements SAN-Less At least 4 local disks for the cluster (does not include boot disks) At least one SSD for the cluster Fast ethernet, at least 10 gig dedicated for storage External Storage Based Cluster iSCSI – at least 10 gig between server and storage FC – recommend multi pathing (not required)

22 New Offering: IBM Cloud PowerVC Manager for SDI

28 DBaaS: Database Deployment as a Self-Service User

29 DBaaS: List Deployed Databases

30 Conclusion

31 Wrap Up PowerVC uses Software Defined Infrastructure to enable flexible system configurations This relies on Linux to do so (currently Ubuntu 16.04) Allows creation of clouds with local disks, fibre channel and iSCSI Virtual I/O Servers provide a level of redundancy that SDI does not yet provide SDI is useful for dev/test clouds or ‘cloud native’ applications PowerVC can co-manage SDI and Traditional all from one environment SDI systems can exist right alongside hosts with Virtual I/O Servers A host is either SDI or VIOS based, not both

32 THANK YOU!

33 BACKUP

34 Key Features Simple User Interface Image Management
Intuitive and appealing Tuned for Power Systems Fast install Image Management Easily capture images and deploy VMs Image Repo Easy and Reliable Live Migration Seamless live migration capabilities One-click user experience Storage Isolation Specify which ports / VIOSes talk to storage devices VIOS1 VIOS2

35 Key Features (Cont’d) Optimized Scheduling
Places the workloads on the “best” host One-Click System Evacuation Auto-relocate VMs to other hosts Planned maintenance made easy! Host Groups Group hosts however you want Attach policies to groups: Automated VM restart VM placement DRO Automated Virtual Machine Restart Auto-detect failed hosts and restart VMs Works for AIX, Linux and IBM i VMs

36 Key Features (Cont’d) Integrated VM Console (NovaLink)
Open a VM console from UI Dynamic Resource Optimizer (DRO) Automatically balance cloud workloads Can run in “active” or “advise” mode Software-Defined Networking Leverages NovaLink and Open vSwitch (OVS) VXLANs, routers, QoS and security groups (future) Collocation Rules (Affinity and Anti-Affinity) Constraints on where VMs can be placed Great for ensuring availability and performance

37 SDN

38 SDN: Overlay Networks VXLAN overlay networks can be created in seconds
Overlay networks are virtual networks that run within your NovaLink’s IP Network Virtual Machine packets are 1450 bytes Are encapsulated within your NovaLink’s 1500 byte packet NovaLink’s OVS have all the routing rules to ensure packets get delivered to right place This enables you to give everyone their own set of IP addresses, perhaps per user or per project Private overlay networks can not talk to each other Network ‘silo’ is none the wiser when a new overlay network is created

39 SDN: Network Address Translation and Routers
Virtual Networks need a path to communicating with your wider network A ‘Network Node’ is a physical server that has IP connectivity to your NovaLink and then a port(s) on the Wide Area Network Network Nodes run ‘Routers’ which enable a private network to use NAT and allow dynamic association of Public IP addresses to VMs Multiple Network Nodes can be added for redundancy and failover Router Network Node Router Router

40 SDN: Tech Preview Use Cases
Hypervisor Based Access Control Create policies that define what a VM can communicate with Ex. “HTTP Policy only allows IPv4 and IPv6 communication over port 443” Policies are dynamically attached to ports on a VM VM can only communicate with entities allowed within these policies Rate Limiting (QoS) Create policies that define how fast a VM can talk Ex. “Port can not exceed 500 Mb/s” Ensures that neighbors can’t be noisy and take all the bandwidth within the system Tech Preview Notes CLI only from PowerVC Not guaranteed on an upgrade to be preserved (though it should be)
