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 infrastructure componenents for use in a private cloud.

OPTIMIZE STORAGE INFRASTRUCTURE UTILIZATION


Utilize Storage More Effectively

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

Add storage capacity during new cluster creation

Create new VMs leveraging the SAN to copy the VHD

Utilize SMI-S copy services and replication profiles

Deploy to host or cluster at scale

Storage Allocation Process

SMI-S Provider


Tier 1 Tier 2

Assign existing LUNs to hosts and clusters

Create new LUNs from pool and assign to hosts and clusters

Allocate storage to specific host groups

Create storage classification pools and associate with

storage

Discover storage through SMI-S

provider

Host Group

LOGICAL ABSTRACTION FOR THE NETWORK INFRASTRUCTURE


Network Management

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

CREATION

Use wizard-based experience

Support cluster validation

Allocate cluster disks from managed storage

Create cluster-wide virtual network

MANAGEMENT DELETION

Add and remove nodes, cluster disks, and virtual networks

Drag and drop host to add node to cluster

Monitor cluster health and status

Clustered hosts will become managed standalone hosts

Clustered disks will be returned to managed storage

Add Nodes from Host Group

Specify hosts from chosen host group to add to cluster.

Skip validation. If desired, validate later.

Configurable IP Addressing on Cluster Creation

Detected IP pool and Logical Network. Administrator selected the IP pool, and used an assigned address from the pool.

Detected IP pool and Logical Network. Administrator manually specified the exact address from this pool.

Neither an IP pool nor a Logical Network discovered. Administrator assigned manual IP address.

Assign Storage on Cluster Creation

Assign existing LUNs allocated to host group.

Enable CSV support for cluster shared volumes.

BUILD YOUR PRIVATE CLOUD, YOUR WAY, THROUGH ABSTRACTIONVirtual Machine Manager



Create the Private Cloud


Cloud Abstraction

Production

Development

Logically Group Your Resources into Clouds

Create clouds for specific needs

View deployed services and VMs

Overprovision across cloud resources

Connect to Physical Infrastructure Components

Aggregate capacity of underlying resources

Choose your logical network abstractions

Choose the types of storage available

Control Amount of Cloud Resources

Place limits around physical resources consumed by cloud

Dynamically adjust resource limits as needs change

Control the Types of VMs for Self-Service Users

Set constraints and limits around VMs with capability profiles

Attach to clouds to control usage

LEVERAGE YOUR HETEROGENEOUS VIRTUALIZATION INVESTMENTVirtual Machine Manager

Leverage Your Existing Investments

CONSISTENCY

Set service-related properties such as cost center, description, release version.

Preview pane shows view of your service deployment.

Settings allow you to set deployment specific variables.

Ribbon bar for deploy activity or to check deployment ratings.

Deploy Service Through Deployment Preview

Perform operations at the service level, tier level, or individual VM level.

View specific service, tier, or application settings.

View Deployed Service

Deployed service viewed as distributed application in Operations Manager and business service in Service Manager.

Monitored at the tier level.

Viewed at the virtual machine level.
