Building your Private Cloud Infrastucture

• Physical and virtual compute fabric deployment

• Storage fabric management

• Logical network fabric abstraction

• Cluster creation brings the fabric together

Building the Private Cloud Infrastructure

DC Admin

Cloud Admin

Transform Your Data Center into a Private Cloud

STORAGE

Discover, classify, and allocate storage for use by the private cloud. Provide the correct storage for use with appropriate access.

COMPUTE

Deploy your compute resources, taking them from bare metal to fully deployed for your physical and virtualization hosts.

NETWORK

Abstract your complex networking infrastructure into logical networks for cloud use. Assign IP, virtual IP, and MAC addresses from pools and integrate with load balancers.

CLUSTER

Consolidate your fabric elements for use in a private cloud.

Storage Fabric Management

END-TO-END MAPPING

Create associations between storage and VM through reconciling data from Hyper-V and storage arrays

Identify storage consumed by VM, host, and cluster

CAPACITY MANAGEMENT

RAPID PROVISIONING

Add storage to a host or cluster through masking operations, initialization, partitioning, formatting, and CSV cluster resource creation

LOGICAL NETWORKS

• Classify network for VMs to access

• Map to network topology

• Allocate to hosts and clouds

ADDRESS POOLS LOAD BALANCERS

• Allocate a static IP address to VMs from a preconfigured pool

• Create IP pool as a managed range of IP address assignments

• Create MAC address pool as a managed range of MAC address assignments

• Apply settings for load balancer capability in service deployment

• Control load balancer through vendor provider based on PowerShell

• Create virtual IP templates consisting of load balancer configuration settings

BASELINE SCAN REMEDIATE

• Create baseline by logically grouping updates to assess compliance

• Assign baseline to host groups to assess compliance

• Check server compliance for assigned baseline

• Use Windows Update Agent for applicability and compliance

• Scan on demand or automated with PowerShell

• Make server compliant by installing missing updates

• Track progress in Virtual Machine Manager console

• Allow on-demand remediation, or automate using PowerShell
