Where Do We Begin?

Telephony and Dialtone

Dialtone for Infrastructure

So, What’s The Big Deal?Doesn’t everybody have a “private cloud”?

It’s About Developers• High velocity,

agile software development

• Automated build, deploy, test, repeat

Static IT vs DevOps

Threat or Opportunity?

•Competitive, customer driven IT• IT will need to compete with external

services and win business•Cost controls

• If IT can deliver solution, $$$ savings•Value chain

• Opportunity for IT to upgrade skills, evolve to “Cloud Architects”

Next-Gen Enterprise Infrastructure

•Public cloud agility• Infrastructure as a service (dialtone)• Automation, time to value, self-service

•Private cloud control and economics

• Data gravity• Choice of hardware, OSes and locations• $$$ savings

From Here To Private Cloud

Solution Landscape

• Not DevOps friendly (Not Cloud Native)

• Lacks open / large community leverage

• VMware only• $$$$

vRealize OpenStack Docker

• Platform for DevOps (Is Cloud Native)

• Massive open community leverage

• VMware or KVM• Not easy to run

• Platform for DevOps (Is Cloud Native)

• Emerging open community

• Not a VM!• Orchestration is

still maturing (Kubernetes?)

Open-Source Leverage

… And Storage / Network Solutions!

Decision Making Landscape

• Value DevOps?• Value Open-Source?

• Vendor neutral “standard”• Community integrations

• Multi-hypervisor vs not

OpenStack Architecture

Great… Except, We Don’t Have 6 PhDs!

Quote from OpenStack Summit Keynote: It Shouldn’t Take 6 PhDs to Run OpenStack

Deployment Models

On-Premises DistributionOn-premises OpenStack• Powered by your

server infrastructure• DIY or distribution

installer• No SLA: who deploys,

monitors, troubleshoots, upgrades?

• OS and hardware dependencies

Hosted OpenStack CloudHosted OpenStack Cloud• Uses service provider

hardware• Turnkey experience• Service Provider typically

provides operational SLA• OS and hardware

limitations• Creates silos, reduces

infrastructure choice• Typically expensive $$$
