VDI with Xsigo – Benefits & Case Studies Nick Dyer – EMEA Systems Engineer ndyer@xsigo.com | +44 (0)7901 606668 • • • • VDI Challenges How virtual I/O helps Case Study #1: National telco Case Study #2: Global bank 2 1 VDI Challenges • Performance – Multiple user classes & needs – Boot storm contention • Hardware – Disruptive installation? – Data center space? • Scalability ? – Easy to grow or change? • Cost – Can be more expensive than buying fat client PCs 3 Why WhatXsigo? is Xsigo? Applications Banking Servers (vSphere Hypervisor + View Broker) Increased Utilization % Network & I/O (Xsigo) Increased Completes Your Utilization % Virtualization Education Energy Government Virtual I/O Strategy! Healthcare Manufacturing Retail Data Storage (EMC VNX, V-MAX) Increased Utilization % 4 2 The I/O Problem Unpredictable Performance Costly Congestion Network I/O Connections Server VM VM VM VM VM VM VM VM VM VM VM VM The I/O you need?? Cabling Mess Storage I/O Connections 5 Virtual I/O Close-up Add resources to live servers Migrate virtual vHBA vHBA I/O on demand vNIC vNIC vNIC vNIC vNIC vNIC vHBA vHBA Add isolated networks on demand 1G 10G 1G 10G FC iSCSI NAS FCoE Inflexible system configuration. Low resource utilization. 6 3 40Gb Link Eliminates Bottlenecks Xsigo delivers more bandwidth to each server: Traditional I/O 1 or 10Gb 40Gb x 2 to each server Xsigo I/O 40Gb 7 Low Latency = Fast Response Xsigo has 1/3 the latency to the app server. Latency (Time delay) Desktop Server App Server Ethernet Low latency link Xsigo Faster response time for users. 8 4 Eliminate the Boot Storm Problem Xsigo’s 40Gb pipe gives fast access to boot server. Desktop Server Low latency link Users up and running quickly at start of day. Boot Server 9 Quality of Server Controls “Diamond Lane” for priority traffic VM 1 24 x 7 x 365 service available User 1 VM 2 User 2 10 5 Network Isolation • Xsigo delivers isolated networks to any server • Does not rely on VLANs • Freedom to: – Host any desktop on any server – Load balance – Mitigate failures – Scale resources easily Isolated networks wherever required 11 Reduced Deployment Cost Server + I/O Costs • Reduce complexity by 70% (for 120 servers) Capital Cost Comparison $3,500,000 $3,000,000 $2,500,000 $339,288 $772,677 Support Cost ( 3) year(s) $2,000,000 Cabling Cost $1,500,000 $277,260 Switch Costs $342,781 I/O Cards $1,000,000 Server Cost + Software Licenses $1,685,520 • Less CAPEX $500,000 $840,000 $0 Competitive $26,000 per server Xsigo $14,000 per server 12 6 Faster Deployment Time • Leverage existing 1GE & FC infrastructure • Minimize new LAN / SAN equipment • Easy to grow • Save up to 100 watts per server Without Xsigo Hard to Deploy With Xsigo Easy to Deploy 13 Smaller Footprint • One PCI slot is all you need • Use smaller servers or blades • Save rack space 14 7 VDI User with Blades Without Xsigo With Xsigo 15 Deployment Examples 16 8 Large Telco VDI Deployment Objectives • • • • • • Deliver architecture to support 3,600 remote desktops Scalability to 10,000 desktops 30% task-based users, 30% power users, 40% knowledge users Ensure <1 minute at start of day Accelerate server deployment time Simplify complex 1GE infrastructure Platform • • • • VMware View 4.5 HP blade servers NetApp NFS storage Load Balance via F5 Big IP 17 Large Telco VDI Deployment Without Xsigo 12 HP BladeCenter chasses With VirtualConnect 1104 1G Eth. With Xsigo Savings 12 HP BladeCenter chasses Cisco Nexus 7000 Cisco Nexus 7000 Cap Ex: Support: TOTAL SAVINGS 48 IB cables 8 10G Eth $400K $72K/yr $616K (over 3 yrs) Other Benefits: (120 servers, over 3 years) • 95% less cabling Greater simplicity = Better uptime • 1104 cables • 1104 1GE ports • 75% less time required to provision new blades Automated I/O config • 56 cables • 8 10GE ports • Single point of management for I/O $616K savings 18 9 Large Telco VDI Deployment Outcome 1. Saved $616K 2. Accelerated boot process by 5X – Boot in <1 minute vs 5 minutes 3. QoS for different classes of users 4. Faster configuration – 45 minutes from blade plugged in to blade in production 19 Global Bank VDI Deployment Objectives • • • • Deliver 60,000 remote desktops Achieve remote management with SLA’s Reduce re-configuration time Facilitate DR with remote management – Data center support supplied from a 3rd location Platform • • • • • • Dual data center Citrix XenApp design Citrix PVS for boot image management VMware vSphere Windows database servers Windows 2008 R2 HP DL180 + DL380 servers – Dual socket, 6 cores/proc, 128GB RAM 20 10 Global Bank VDI Deployment Without Xsigo 330 servers (at 2 sites) 660 10G With Xsigo 268 servers (at 2 sites) 2 Cat 6509 4 Nexus 7000 24 Nexus 5210 536 IB 20 IS36 4 I/O Directors 4 Nexus 7000 4 MDS 9509 976 cables 330 servers 708 10G cables 268 FC cables • • • • • • $5.7M $1M/yr TOTAL SAVINGS $8.7M (over 3 yrs) Other Benefits: (120 servers, over 3 years) 2 MDS 9509 268 FC Cap Ex: Support: 16 10G 16 FC 4 MDS 9509 • • • • • • Savings 2 Catalyst 6504 2 MDS 9148 568 cables 268 servers 16 10G cables 16 FC cables • 41% less cabling • 70 sessions per server • 4X more bandwidth to each server Better user experience • Remote management $8.7M savings 21 Global Bank VDI Deployment Outcome 1. Saved $8.7M – $5.7M savings at deployment – Additional $3M after 3 years 2. Guaranteed service levels with QoS – Ensure high performance for critical users – Limit bandwidth impact of “bad apps.” 3. Remote management – Data center configuration via browser-based UI – Dynamic I/O management • Re-purpose servers on-demand • Rapid configuration management across all servers – Accelerates incident response by 1 ½ hours minimum 22 11 Summary 23 VDI Solutions • Performance – Up to 80Gb to each server – Responsive / fast boot • Cost – $5-15K savings per server • Hardware ! – Re-use existing networking • Scalability – Simplest infrastructure – Automated configuration 24 12 OV0907 13
