the coming disruption to datacenter strategies
DESCRIPTION
Presentation from Web-scale Wednesday webinar on 6/25/14. Abstract: The same web-scale companies that drive much of the commerce on the Internet (Google, Yahoo, Facebook, Amazon) are some of the largest consumers of IT in the world. The operational models and many of the technologies that started in the largest data centers are starting to invade mainstream enterprise IT. This session will help unpack how to bridge the knowledge gap between these very different worlds.TRANSCRIPT

New Technologies from Web-scale
• MapReduce led to Hadoop• Early use of SDN and Open
Networking• Containers (Docker)
– Google launches 2B containers/week
Facebook Switching (OCP)

Changing Design Mentality
4
• App in a Silo• Optimized Infrastructure• Gold-copy and repeat • HA design: harden everything, limit failures• 70%+ budget on OpEx
• Virtualized App• Virtualization Gives App Mobility and Repeatability• Clustered Architecture• SW supports reliability• Improved utilization, but OpEx?
• Hyper-Optimized App• Containers Separate App Mgmt from Infrastructure Mgmt (things WILL CHANGE)• Distributed Architecture at the core of Scale-out• Design for failure, chaos monkey• Automate/orchestrate

Bridging from Web-scale to Enterprise

Scale-out = Distributed Architecture
Rack Level Design = Simplicity
Not “Open” = Free like a box of puppies“Open” as in Extensibility/Interfaces
