Welcome to the Data Consolidation Era!

Anyone that has attended VMworld the last couple of years has noticed the absolute sprawl of storage vendors and solutions available to attendees on the floor of the Solutions Exchange. We had a running internal joke at NetApp a few years ago that VMworld was our equivalent of "NetApp World," because we did not have our own show, and NetApp Insight was not open to the public yet. While I am a geeky fan of shiny new things, this is not the right way forward.

And if you'll humor me, I'll take you down the rabbithole with me.

The 2000's, Virtualization, and Server Consolidation

Let's travel back in time to 2006. Ten years ago, VMware introduced ESX 3.0 with Virtual Center. A couple of years later, we had vSphere and vCenter. Over the last decade, VMware, Microsoft, and the various pieces of the Linux community made server virtualization mainstream.

Millions of users around the world began to consolidate their servers into virtual instances stacked up onto physical hosts. But to understand WHY they did this, we need to go back to the fundamentals of server management, and what drove hypervisor platforms to success, and mad adoption around the world everywhere.

From the 90s and into the 2000s, servers were still very much segregated into a per-app or per-use-case basis, and were often accompanied by a piece of storage, typically fibre-attached as either a DAS brick/JBOD or a separate storage array (think Symmetrix/Clariion/Hitachi Thunderbolt, etc). We made due for a while, but over time, as data grew into longer life cycles, and as drive technology grew exponentially in capacity, we saw people begin to keep higher amounts of data that were larger in size and quality for longer periods of time.

This presented all sorts of scaling issues around server procurement. The vendors loved it. 90% of the time, only 10% of the server's capability was used, but we had to design for the "worst-case" scenario where that big batch would run at 3AM, and that server better be able to handle it.

What if we could create a compute "pool" of physical resources and abstract the management and provisioning layer on top of that larger, more robust pool of resources?

While Microsoft deserves some credit for Virtual Server being one of the first-used mainstream versions of virtualization, VMware really took the ball and ran with it when they introduced ESX and Virtualcenter.

The rest, as they say, you most likely know and use today.

Server Consolidation vs Data Consolidation

We're entering an interesting new era where IT, yet again, is about to repeat history. We learned a lot of lessons about consolidation during the last decade, specifically how it relates to servers, but it's my belief we're about to go through a lot of the same motions for getting our data under control.

Here's a quote from an anonymous end-user I spoke with at VMworld last week:

"...well, we use a mix of Pure and NetApp for our VMware environment, but for backup, we have Avamar proxies going to a VNX, and then it gets archived off to a Data Domain. Oh, and we also use Isilon in some various use-cases, and now we're looking at a Hadoop farm for our reporting and analysis. We have piles of servers in the racks that our test/dev department never uses, and we honestly have no idea who owns what."

So, this one very large end-user has:

• Pure Storage for Tier1 apps and VDI
• NetApp FAS for Tier2 virtualization
• EMC Avamar, VNX, and Data Domain for data protection
• Isilon for NAS
• Runaway sprawl has overtaken the datacenter footprint for test/dev
• Adding new platform for analytics

First, I'm no fan of this kind of design, but it's very easy over time for this kind of purpose-built single-solution approach to turn into what it has today. Absolute bloat and runaway sprawl. Politics get in the way, DBAs insist on having dedicated systems, and it's harder to undo something once it's in place.

This attendee had this sort of "self-epiphany" moment where he realized just how much stuff they had in their datacenter, and I think all in one moment realized how much overhead that generated. It was a common theme throughout the week at VMworld.

Does this sound familiar to anyone? Aren't these the same fundamentals that drove us to do server virtualization? The saving grace of virtualization, to me, has been the management layers that wrap around them. VMware vCenter, System Center & Hyper-V Manager for Microsoft. Truly extensible management platforms providing a single point of configuration for all the things. And I hope it goes without saying the ecosystem and community those platforms and solutions created!

Enter Cohesity...

Many of you have come to me and asked what it was about Cohesity that made me join. While there are several culture, leadership, and team-based reasons I like Cohesity, the tech has to come first. Especially in my role as Evangelist, there has to be a natural passion. I interviewed with 15 different companies looking for the best opportunity. Took my time. But I knew the minute the following conversation happened...

Netherlands: The Best Hosting Place

If you ask an ordinary man, where the hosting services are done, he is bound to say the US.  It is true that most cloud services and at least a million sites are hosted in the US. However, in the past few years, Netherlands play a key role in the online world especially in maintaining the ecosystem. In the past few years, the city of Amsterdam has shown a huge potential in shared hosting capacity. It ranks number four in the list of data center cities in Europe. At least one in three European data centers are located in Amsterdam. Many large site providers opt for Netherlands as an ideal candidate for locating their European activities.

Obviously, owing to such a vast capacity, Netherlands is now home to hundreds of e-commerce and hosting companies. It is also the primary location for the European data centres of big players like Microsoft, Google and also a home base for many of the largest sites. The question that pops in the mind is what is the driving factor behind this growth and success despite a declining economy?

The answer lies in Amsterdam Internet Exchange or AMS- IX. It connects 500 network suppliers and has the largest Internet exchange in the world- over 2 Terabit per second. This has resulted in an entire ecosystem of hosting companies, e-commerce activities and data centres. In addition, there are other factors like privacy of consumers, enforcement of net neutrality principles, etc. These were adopted by Netherlands even before the European Union adopted them. The net neutrality principles guarantee an unfiltered transport of Internet data. Added to that are other factors like well-educated English speaking workforce, reliable and cost-effective energy available at a low cost, international business outlook, affordable taxes and attractive investment schemes. These factors contribute to an environment for getting recognized as a leading strategic location for hosting and thus hosting has become a reality in Netherlands over the past ten years.

During the 1970’s, when Joop den Uijl, the then Dutch Prime Minister coined the slogan ‘Nederland, Transportland’, he emphasised on the role Netherlands could in developing as a hub for transportation through air, water and road. Little did her realize it would also play a leading role in Europe in the bits, bytes and chips!

Data Center Cooling System

One of the most important infrastructures pre-requisite in an IT establishment is that of cooling. Cooling systems do not mean air conditioners for offices and adequate ventilation. It also means datacenter cooling and computer room cooling. To ensure server longevity and organization vitality, it is important that the organization has a good connection of chillers and compressors. If you are establishing an IT organization, then one of the most herculean tasks is to establish a proper data center cooling system. Before you decide the right cooling system, you must analyze the efficiency level of your facility and the rack power density of your equipment.

While managing the data center cooling system, there are three major issues you may encounter. 

Power Consumption

Actual  IT equipments consume far lesser power than the cooling systems. It is a fact that cooling is the biggest power consumer in any system. Hence, it is important that you choose the right solution so as to have improved and optimum energy efficiency level. For this, you must first define the power consumption and power density needs of all the IT equipment in the organization. This must be followed by chalking a solution suiting the equipment. This gives ample room for flexibility. Also following a systematic pattern gives you room for scalability in future. Picking the correct solution will not only influence greatly on the energy efficiency level but also has an immense effect on the operational cost of the establishment.

   

Room Temperature

One of the key components in managing the room temperature is to understand the data center cooling technology. This is very important as you do not want a shooting electricity bill owing to higher air conditioner and compressor cooling consumption! For this you must understand different concepts like Data Center infrastructure efficiency Assessment, Computational Fluid Dynamics and Power Usage Effectiveness. Also you must understand the air circulation, ventilation direction of the room. These will help you set an optimal cooling system.

Environmental Condition

To achieve maximum efficiency, you must understand the airflow and control the same in your technical space. Cooling is also integral for achieving efficiency, sustaining the right environment, and managing hotspots. For this, you must look upon server heat load, server heat rejection and cool air supply levels as inter-related and not as separate, isolated systems.
