6. Let’s Get Started!

8. Enterprises are building clouds to...
Meet departmental resource needs & timelines
Control & monitor the entire environment
L
Where is your enterprise on the path to cloud?
1. Virtualization
Server Virtualization 2. Cloud Data Center 3. Cloud Federation

9. Datacenters are being virtualized, Servers are rst
HYPERVISORS PROVIDE ABSTRACTION BETWEEN APPS AND HARDWARE (SERVERS)
HOST 1 HOST 2 HOST 3 HOST 4, ETC.
VMs
Hypervisor:
turns 1 server into many “virtual machines” (VMs)
(VMWare ESX, Citrix XEN Server, KVM, Etc.)
Hardware abstraction for each server Better resource utilization for each server
1. Server Virtualization
Virtualization 2. Cloud Data Center 3. Cloud Federation
Automation & Efficiency

10. Next: Storage, Network... the building blocks
ABSTRACTION BETWEEN APPS AND HARDWARE
Virtualized Servers Virtualized Networks Virtualized Storage
Flexibility, Efficiency are key drivers Resource pools for apps starting to form...
1. Server Virtualization
Virtualization 2. Cloud Data Center 3. Cloud Federation
Automation & Efficiency

11. But questions arise as the environment grows...
“VM SPRAWL” CAN MAKE THINGS UNMANAGEABLE VERY QUICKLY
APPS USERS ADMINS
How do you make your apps cloud aware? How to empower employees to self-service?
Where should you provision new VMs? How do you keep track of it all?

12. But questions arise as the environment grows...
“VM SPRAWL” CAN MAKE THINGS UNMANAGEABLE VERY QUICKLY
APPS USERS ADMINS
A Cloud Management Layer Is Missing
1. Server Virtualization
Server Virtualization 2. Cloud Data Center 3. Cloud Federation
Automation & Efficiency

13. Solution: OpenStack, The Cloud Operating System
A NEW MANAGEMENT LAYER THAT ADDS AUTOMATION AND CONTROL
Connects to apps Self-service
via APIs Portals for users
APPS USERS ADMINS
CLOUD OPERATING SYSTEM
Creates Pools of Resources Automates The Network

In summary.....
• Controls & automates pools of resources
• Efficiently allocates resources
• Empowers admins & users via self-service portals
• Empowers developers to make apps cloud-aware via APIs

15. What’s next?
Enterprise Private Clouds run
cloud operating systems...
Public Clouds run cloud
operating systems...
1. Server Virtualization
Server Virtualization 2. Cloud Data Center 3. Cloud Federation
Automation & Efficiency

16. Imagine having a Common Platform across clouds
Seamlessly transporting workloads

17. A common platform is here.
OPENSTACK IS OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE POWERING PUBLIC AND PRIVATE CLOUDS.
Public Cloud:
Private Cloud:
OpenStack powers
Run OpenStack
some
software
of the worlds largest
in your own corporate
public
data centers
cloud deployments.

27. Rackspace….Why?

28. Rackspace Rationale
•Open source is the best model for developing
software
•No other existing solution – open source or
proprietary – meets our needs for public or private
clouds
•Customers are demanding a standard
•6 years of what works and what doesn’t
•We are a support company

29. Conclusions
•Users want a new model
•Virtualization got us started, but doesn’t fully deliver
•OpenStack delivers a Cloud Operating System
•The project is vibrant and growing fast!
