Nimbula Vision: One Cloud

Global, Self-service & Collaborative

Slide 6

Federation relationships Workloads

Scale: Build In Scale-Out Units

Node: A single server in the cloud Cluster: A group of servers on the same network – the unit of scaling for the cloud. Clusters are mostly independent of each other. Site: All clusters in a single location. No resource dependencies between sites, but share a common view

• f tenants, users, groups, policies, and permissions

Cloud: All sites owned by one cloud operator Federation: Communication between clouds of multiple

• wners

Slide 7

Elastic Infrastructure

• Add 100s of commodity nodes

in minutes: plug in, power on, & walk away

• Deploy thousands of

application instances in minutes with a single command

Zero-Touch Install

…

Resiliency

• Unplug anything without application impact
• Automated recovery
• f any degraded control

plane services

• Automated relaunch of

lost apps

Self-Healing Scale-Out Control Plane

Self-Service

• Cloud is all about controlled self-

service

• Compute instances
• Storage – Ephemeral, template,

persistent

• Network – Local IP, DNS, NAT IP
• Image management
• Once permission is granted, no

end user activity causes even a single mouse click to cloud admin

• r tenant admin

Slide 12

Decoupling Roles & Multi-Layer Delegation

Slide 13

Push control to where the responsibility lies

• Cloud admin only manages the

infrastructure itself

• Capacity planning
• Capability tagging
• Overall health
• Create tenants
• Tenant admins manage themselves based
• n P&L and security responsibilities
• Create users and groups
• Assign permissions, policies, and quotas
• End users drive their own provisioning
• Based on their needs
• Constrained only by policy, not infrastructure

Simplifying The Network

• Traditional IT
• Layer 2 isolation
• Network admin heavy
• Cloud
• Flat, layer-3, routable
• Self-service distributed firewall

Slide 14

• Yellow can talk to purple
• Purple can talk to green
• Yellow and green can’t talk

Application Setup and Teardown

• End users orchestrate complete, complex

applications

• Organizations have

full control over resources and policy

• Infrastructure owners
• perate infrastructure

Slide 16

Nimbula Director 2.0

1. Extending enterprise readiness lead

• Security, systems management, financial elements

2. Application management

• Manage apps, not infrastructure
• Persistent definitions, monitoring, healing

3. Complete set of self-service network services

• Adding DNS, VPN, & virtual router (1.5 had DHCP, Firewall, NAT, VLAN)

1. VMware support and integration

• ESXi  Nimbula Director  Cloud Foundry

2. Extensible cloud platform:

• Plug in 3rd party services as a privileged component of the control plane
