NephoScale offers a cloud platform called NephOS that aims to provide high performance infrastructure and tools to enable collaboration between development and operations teams based on DevOps principles. NephOS provides fast virtual machines, dedicated servers, object storage, and tools like CloudScript for template-based deployment and elastic networking. NephoScale argues this solution can help customers develop, deploy, and improve applications faster with greater predictability and efficiency than other cloud providers.
2. 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
3. Operations Must Evolve Too
• 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

14. Methods for Server Deployment
Customer Portal
• Login and Provision server(s) Depending on the application complexity -
• Locate Credentials end to end process could take up to 4 hours
• SSH or RDC to server(s) Best for lower volume static environments
• Login to server(s)
• Download and configure Apps
RESTful API
• From Host Make API calls to Application configuration is same as Portal
provision servers deployment
• Login to server(s) Provisioning is streamlined for larger server
• Download and configure Apps deployments time reduced 50%
Best for higher volume deployments with
limited modifications
CloudScript TM
• Define entire data center config in Single CloudScript file posted to NephoScale
single text file - CloudScript API that deploys entire cluster and stack
• Server parameters defined in one With pre-configured template, process can be
section (hostname, IPs, OS, etc) reduced to 15 minutes or less
• Define Config Mgmt dependencies Best for varied server deployments requiring
such as configuring apps, and what frequent iterations
data to inject

Editor's Notes
Poll question: Rank what is most important to you when you think of performance in the cloud? VM performance, deployment times, iterate, rebuild, API, network performance
Polling question #2: How to you interact with a cloud platform: 1) portal, 2) API; 3) Cloud Management software (e.g. RightScale)
Because this is your 3rd cloud, what types of lessons have you learned from the past and how did that affect the decisions you made when designing the architecture?
Telemachus takes over this slide and discusses architecture
Hand over to Tele for more input on how CloudScript allows you to treat infrastructure as code and how it creates a lifecycle
Have Telemachus mention that there is a blog post on the NephoScale website on this topic. Also use an example to highlight the importance of Elastic Networking. Bruce wants you to talk about the difference between cocktail straw and multiport & some examples of how this functionality allows certain apps to be supported in the cloud due to our support for multi-cast capabilities
Telemachus talks about pre-sales support, customer requirements, etc.
This needs to be the sell slide; compel people to BUY!
