Notas del editor
- IT in data centers is still evolving and there are new innovations that can help mitigate challenges and create opportunities. Lets talk about today’s challenges Data centers today have unprecedented challenges, but great opportunities as well Continue to struggle with inflexible systems Stuck in a silo approach that is hard to secure and manage Have a continued need to reduce cost Need to innovate and rapidly deploy new services and capabilities Need to continue to manage and reduce risk Bring costs in control Technologies such as Hyperconverged and software defined can help
- “Tightly coupled compute, network and storage hardware that dispenses with the need for a regular storage area network (SAN). Storage management functions — plus optional capabilities like backup, recovery, replication, deduplication and compression — are delivered via the management software layer and/or hardware, together with compute provisioning.”
- According to the Storage Networking Industry Association(SNIA), about 60 percent of data center CAPEX and OPEX is spent on SANs and SAN-attached storage. Hyperconvergence potentially eliminates all of these costs. By converging storage, storage management, and the SAN at the hypervisor level and placing the SDS stack adjacent to the workloads, hyperconvergence reduces IT complexity, increases application performance, and delivers a dramatically more adaptive infrastructure. Storage-intensive applications become easier to deploy, manage, and scale than on traditional systems. This in turn reduces capital and operating costs — a critical consideration at a time when data is growing far faster than budgets. Hyperconverged technology helps agencies and institutions deliver more robust digital services while reducing their cost and complexity. It’s faster to deploy in the face of ever-evolving workload challenges It’s easier to scale when new capacity is needed It offers higher performance for today’s critical applicstructures It drives higher availability at lower cost thanks to virtualization It ensures stronger data protection thanks to automated backup, deduplication, recovery, and monitoring
- Hyperconverged solutions are perfect for the needs of technology organizations tasked with delivering future-ready innovation on budgets that barely keep pace with today’s demands. More predictable data center economics, even in uncertain times Ideal match for building smarter shared and consolidated services Worry-free transitions to the cloud-driven services internal and external customers demand Rock-solid availability and continuity of operations Minimize IT operational workload, freeing time and talent for more strategic challenges Drastically reduced capex and opex Tomorrow’s demands are uncertain. One thing we know for sure is that users will want more (e.g., services, applications, choices) and a hyperconverged infrastructure helps deliver on those requirements.
- The final realization of what started with server virtualization: a software layer, supported by distributed hardware resources that delivers infrastructure as an application (i.e., an applistructure). The end user sees little difference, but IT gets to replace specialized hardware, solutions, and even skills sets with a single unified platform for building and managing compute demand needs. What gets virtualized? “Orchestration and Automation” WAN management Continuous monitoring backup, deduplication, and recovery Capacity analytics, load balancing Identity/access management Perimeter/workload security Better flexibility to quickly respond to new demands Stronger simplicity of a single management pane across all resources More cost-effective scaling thanks to reliance on commodity, not specialized, hardware Easier automation of IT tasks and workloads Reduced need for specialized IT skill sets
- Instead of transforming new or existing servers with software, appliances ship with software already loaded and tested Great for larger virtual server and VDI deployments with limited IT resources Single-vendor solution Turnkey installation, can be done in less than an hour in some cases Easy scalability
- Hyperconvergence means deep changes to my IT staff. Hyperconvergence doesn’t require less help, just a shift in focus and workload. Hyperconvergence doesn’t necessarily doesn’t mean a new hire. It means leaning more heavily on existing infrastructure and network architect teams. They do most of the heavy lifting up front – once up and running less fine tuning and management is required. This means IT can spend time on more strategic tasks. Hyperconvergence will dramatically drive up IT costs. Hyperconvergence drops long-term IT costs dramatically, reducing everything from power bills to support costs. While the upfront costs of hyperconvergence can be higher than non hyperconvergence solutions, most studies show a more dramatic reduction in CAPEX and OPEX over the long-term – with no wide scale rip and replace required. Hyperconvergence means the end of SAN. Even with hyperconvergence deployed, SAN still has a critical role in your evolving data center. While hyperconvergence integrates storage needs for its workloads, organizations will still lean on SAN resources for additional capacity and in situations where hyperconvergence doesn’t make sense. Hyperconvergence will create additional IT silos inside my data center. Hyperconvergence delivers a unified data center platform that makes it easier to manage information governance. While hyperconvergence builds infrastructure through large, modular blocks of integrated capacity, IT can still maintain a granular control of its information. hyperconvergence removes technical siloes while giving IT and decision-makers the confidence they need to tackle governance challenges. Hyperconvergence is really best for VDI Hyperconvergence is the right choice for lots of high-capacity compute program needs. While the elasticity and reduced management costs make hyperconvergence an ideal platform software-defined desktop experience, its potential is much larger. It can bring the same responsive capacity and agile IT management to larger organization-wide workloads. Hyperconvergence will lock into a particular vendor? You can still build the data center solutions that fit your specific needs. While hyperconvergence solutions are typically supplied by a single vendor, that doesn’t necessarily mean all interoperability is lost. Relying on open standards and protocols, hyperconvergence solutions don’t pose any more significant proprietary constraints than other solutions.
- Lenovo and DataCore have created a storage solution that is able to harness the full potential of today's storage technology and provide the performance and SLAs needed for 'always-on' applications.
- Use cases include retail back office and inventory, energy, government communications, defense systems and legal document management.
