Mission Critical Cloud

Henry Fastert, Chief Technologist and Managing PartnerSHI International

The commercial marketplace has looked at public cloud computing and sees solutions that fit best for the consumer and casual user.

Public Cloud Solutions

Security

• Public Cloud oriented for all who want access

• Limited data security

• Difficulty meeting government regulations or company policies

Connectivity

• Internet-based

• Presents security, availability and performance concerns

Resiliency/Service Quality

• Wide fluctuations in availability and performance

• Overall availability only about 95%

• Not good enough for the business world of 24 X 7 !

Enterprise Cloud Solutions

Secure• Using low latency DWDM connections, VMs reside on customer’s network fully leveraging

their network security

• A design that uses the latest in data at rest encryption, intrusion protection, breach monitoring and audit reporting

High Performance• An infrastructure platform powered by leading hardware & software technologies for

maximum bandwidth, storage and performance

• A management platform enables self-service “on-demand”

Industrial Grade• A highly secure solution designed to optimize capacity, performance and reliability

• Solutions capable of handling the requirements of enterprise applications

Enterprise Cloud Solutions should be based on key design principles such as these:

4

Single Customer Federated Model

Shared or Multi-TenantMulti-tenant or shared solutions run VMs on hardware shared by multiple customers with multiple levels of isolation. The potential cost savings benefit of a shared platform makes this an attractive option for non mission-critical applications.

Private or DedicatedFeature VMs running in the cloud provider’s center running on hardware dedicated to a specific customer

Managed PrivateEnables VMs to be deployed within the customer’s data center while being remotely monitored and managed by the cloud provider.

PrivateTrue private Cloud with VM’s deployed and managed in the customer’s Data Center

Four ways to implement the “hybrid” strategy most want.

5

Infrastructure: Performance, Capacity & Reliability

Enterprise grade Cloud infrastructure should be designed to optimize Performance, Capacity and Reliability by providing multiple interconnects, maximum bandwidth and redundancy. The

design should assure no single points of failure, with unmatched connectivity and security.

Service Core (vCore)• No Single Points of Failure

• Multiple Enclosures, Switches, Servers and Storage Connections for maximum resiliency

• Virtual Fabric Technology for virtualized connections and easy manipulation of bandwidth to meet SLAs

• VMware High Availability to “fail over” to 2nd VM

• VMware Fault Tolerant provides 2nd “hot VM” for fail over

Powering the Cloud

A cloud management platform is an automated, fully managed platform that combines to enable on-demand provisioning of VMs.

A cloud management platform should provide:• Portal access for self-service and

centralized management

• Rapid deployment of VMs

• Automated provisioning of infrastructure

• Managed provisioning of application software from service catalog

• Comprehensive reporting for capacity, performance, service level, usage and auditing

The first generation of cloud services focused on Internet connectivity. The Next Generation of cloud for the enterprise should be able to offer excellent diversity in connectivity.

Customers should be able to connect via MPLS or IPsec VPN.) Most cloud service providers only offer IPSec VPN. However, there is a better way.

Security for the Enterprise

Cloud providers should have a multi-layered solution to assure a multi-tenant or shared enterprise cloud is secure enough to meet the requirements of enterprise-class applications.

The same design should apply to a dedicated (private cloud) platform.

Security Processes(Industry Best Practices, Standardized,Tested)

Event Monitoring(Comprehensive & Supplemented by Trusted Third-Party)

Perimeter Security(Access Control, Anomaly-Aware, Customer Transparent)

Infrastructure Security(Layered Cloud Management Protection and Change Control)

Customer Data Security(Encryption/Segregation)

Next Generation Design

There is a Next Generation of Cloud for the enterprise capable of supporting mission critical applications. All providers are not equal in their capability, but there are those that are ready to

deliver on the needs of the enterprise today!
