  1. Jason Gorrie Rise of the Virtual Machine: IST VMware ESX and VMs for Campus Academic Support Areas

  2. Agenda • IST Environment • Future plans • Discussion on Campus Trends

  3. Deja Vu Presented similar at OUCC in 2010

  4. Environment - Recap Vmware ESXi 5.1 Dell Netapp

  5. VM Count

  6. Cost ESX Licenses = 40 Enterprise Plus Licenses Servers – four refreshes (PE2950 → R900 → R810 → R820)

  7. Memory Expanded 2010: 2.4GB RAM/Server 2013: 5.7GB RAM/server Clusters: 2.0/2.8/1.0 T 1000+ Vms? Example: Sharepoint 2013

  8. CPU Clusters: 272/307/150 Ghz Example: Security Cameras

  9. Storage NFS mounted from Netapp Devices Data retained in 2+ places*

  10. Network 10G if > 25 VMs VM Side

  11. Reliability No Data loss – Same Issues (2013): June 2013: Driver FW issues (tg3) July 2013: Dev storage latency issues July 2013: Datastore full when not Sept 2013: Driver FW issues (igbx) Nov 2013: ESX Host became slow

  12. Environment is Critical Default Virutal uwaterloo.ca * Sharepoint 2013 * Lync * Waterloo Works (Jobmine replacement) * All sorts of smaller apps

  13. Former Challenges USB Failures → SD in RAID1 Reactive not proactive → Monitoring stepped up

  14. Current Challenges Vmware License renewal/upgrades (still) VM's are candy Cleanup

  15. Service definitions - Internal PaaS – Platform as a Service IaaS – Infrastructure as a Service SaaS – Software as a Service

  16. VM as a (Campus) Service Campus service already CPU: 1 – 4 (<2) RAM: 1-8GB (<2GB) Disk: <100G is nice (<40GB) OS

  17. VM as a (Campus) Service SLA* Dev: RTO: 12H, RPO: 2H SLA* Prod: RTO: 2H, RPO: 1H Discussion: Why or why not are you using it?

  18. Future Plans IST license admin Site Recovery Manager (SRM) Public cloud bursting? Self Provisioning – virtual/real Throwaway VMs / Applications “Cloud”

  19. Campus Adoption of Hypervisors Who uses hyper visors on campus? Discussion: What do you use? Why?

  20. Campus Adoption of Cloud OpenStack/CloudStack/Eucalyptus/vCAC/AWS/Azure/Others? Rise of the meta hypervisor? Why use it?

  21. Cloud Discussion topics Interest in Self provisioning VM Application stack Show back/ charge back Automated workflow of VM vs. of OS? (config management)?
