Performance Is More Than Just Fast VMs
November 6, 2012
Software Development Has Evolved
• Agile methodology means rapid iteration• Collaboration between cross-functional teams• Responding to change over following a plan• Customer satisfaction by rapid delivery of useful
software features• Welcome changing requirements, even late in
development
• Infrastructure must rapidly adapt to new requirements from new SW features
• New applications like Big Data are driving unique networking & performance requirements
• Rapid change in Dev & Ops drives need for more collaboration• Infrastructure must scale up & down quickly• Business stakeholders need visibility to systems• Fast evolution drives need for more documentation & greater
dependence on predictable management tools
Operations Must Evolve Too
Choosing a Cloud ProviderRequirements SolutionsCost Effective Agility Price performance optimized for DevOps
• Tiered configurations & automated deployment• Security, governance & compliance
Predictable High Performance Specialized dedicated servers• On Demand Bare Metal servers • Optional SSD storage
Deployment Capability Automated templates• 1-click deployment of applications & infrastructure stacks• Programmatic control using API
Configuration Management Support for industry standard tools• Simplified management of server configuration• Inherent knowhow
Robust System Flexible Networking• Unified broadcast domain• Built-in redundancy
Project Management Self-documenting with audit trail• Single file configuration manager• Build language for the cloud
Support High-touch support• Humans on a phone• 24/7 is required
NephOS the Cloud for the Future
NephoScale Cloud Services
A world where the cloud helps companies develop, deploy, and improve their applications faster & with greater predictability & efficiency than ever before.
The Mission
Build the best performing cloud platform to provide more than scalable compute & storage resources by enabling collaboration between development & operation teams based on best practices from agile software development with unique compute, storage, & networking technologies.
Vision
NephoScale Provides the ONLY Full Solution
• High performance cloud infrastructure– Fast VMs– Integrated virtual servers & dedicated servers
• NephOS Platform– CloudScript– Standardized Templates– Elastic Networking
• Collaboration between IT, Development & Business– Environment tailored for today’s DevOps methods
Fast VMs Aren’t The Only Thing, But…
• NephoScale leverages our founders’ experience in building three previous generation cloud platforms
• We believe speed is a secondary consideration in cloud performance, but our cloud flies
• NephoScale’s architecture is a uniquely tuned infrastructure delivering industry leading performance– CPU, RAM, disk & RAID– Virtualization software, BareMetal servers & SSD– Cloud Storage– Elastic networking
NephOS Platform
CloudScript
• Fully idempotent• Business readable domain specific
language• CloudScript Templates– Library of recipes & template for popular
environments– Build, customize & save templates
• Catalyst for new paradigm – Collaboration - DevOps– Rapid iteration, prototype & deployment– Automation & continuous delivery
The industry’s first Build Language for the Cloud
Treat Infrastructure as Code
Elastic Networking
• Dynamic – Adapts as servers are added/removed & workloads moved
• Flexible – Design & build unlimited isolated virtual networks w/layer 2 broadcast domains
• Scalable – Unlimited broadcast domains/sub-domains (beyond 802.1Q VLAN spec of 4096 IDs)
• Robust – Redundancy, intelligent self-healing routing, keeps traffic secure & rebuilds itself
• Independent – Abstracted from the underlying hardware
NephoScale High-TouchTM Support
• Market leaders often treat customers like numbers– Phone trees– Knowledge bases– Limited scope support
• Industry leaders realize their customers’ success depends great support – Personalized pre-sales support to help customers succeed– Proactive support on how to leverage CloudScript to best deliver your
application– Real-time operational support– US-based 24/7 phone support– Email, knowledge base, forum
Methods for Server Deployment
Customer Portal • Login and Provision server(s)
• Locate Credentials• SSH or RDC to server(s)• Login to server(s)• Download and configure Apps
Depending on the application complexity - end to end process could take up to 4 hours
Best for lower volume static environments
RESTful API • From Host Make API calls to
provision servers• Login to server(s)• Download and configure Apps
Application configuration is same as Portal deployment
Provisioning is streamlined for larger server deployments time reduced 50%
Best for higher volume deployments with limited modifications
CloudScript TM
• Define entire data center config in single text file - CloudScript
• Server parameters defined in one section (hostname, IPs, OS, etc)
• Define Config Mgmt dependencies such as configuring apps, and what data to inject
Single CloudScript file posted to NephoScale API that deploys entire cluster and stack
With pre-configured template, process can be reduced to 15 minutes or less
Best for varied server deployments requiring frequent iterations
Customer Adoption
Enablement Enterprise SMB-Mid Sized Commercial
Today Tomorrow
Internal and/or external infrastructure
Internal IT orgs leverage external resources (MSP, VARs, etc)
Manage infrastructure as code
Low legacy infrastructure Dynamic Resource -
based on application adoption rate
Legacy infrastructure conversion to private cloud
Mature IT practices Hybrid cloud models for
non critical applications
