Private clouds and
enterprise IT
Two closing thoughts
Two points


Ironically, a return to centralization
We’re addicted to old metaphors
Let’s talk about cars.
First: retooling the factory floor on the fly.

The abdication of
                                             authority (and
                                             responsibility.)

You have no right
     to an opinion
        This is the pact of
        on-demand IT
        Abstraction means
        abdicating your
        right to architecture
        One size fits all
        meets Jack of All
        Trades

On-premise          On-demand



                               Adaptive
Pros    Lots of control       economics
                            Experimentation



       DR, connectivity       New risks
          cost more        Compliance issues
Cons
       Operational costs     Unpredictable
        & distractions          costs
A return to centralization.
“Compared to the cost
                               of moving bytes around,
                               everything else is free.”
  Microsoft technical fellow
     Dr. Jim Gray, 2003

Cloud in a box.
AKA the new mainframe.
Clouds have
“surface tension”

 Strong bonds between storage, processing
 Portable workloads
 Mobile clients
Second:
metaphor addiction
Just because you understand virtual machines
doesn’t make them good for you.
The British pint.
1 cm
1 cm
Grams

Centimeters

Millilitres

We love our metaphors.
They restrict our thinking.
So what will enterprise
clouds look like?
The myth: cloudbursting




    Normal load

                  Load
    Normal load          Traffic spikes
The startup: cloud hosting
 Clouds are obvious
 when you start
 from scratch
                               3rd-party         3rd-party
   Uncertain futures

   No capital at hand
   High rate of

Private clouds and enterprise it - october 18 - 30m

Hinweis der Redaktion

  1. Let’s talk about cars for a minute. A car is a mode of transportation; but if you want to get from point A to point B, you have some decisions to make.=
  2. There are lots of different car business models
  3. At one extreme, you could be a car manufacturer. You’d have complete control over every aspect of your car, even though the cost of doing so would be very high. But you could still build cars from parts, and get them road-certified. It wouldn’t scale very well as demand increased, so this is the domain of hobbyists (who need high customization) or large manufacturers (who need economies of scale)
  4. For most of us, the answer to transportation is to own a car. You’re not responsible for design – though you have some choice of models and features – but you are liable for everything. You have to finance it, maintain it, and so on.
  5. If you’re a traveller, then you rent. This is a different model, with different responsibilities. You’re still at fault if you scratch or hit something, and still need to know directions, but someone else finances the deal and handles storage, cleaning, and other things. And you’re paying for what you use, not for the entire asset.
  6. A car hire service abdicates even more control – you can still decide where to go and how to get there, pickup and dropoff times, etc., but everything else is the driver’s responsibility. You have only marginal control over the car model.
  7. A taxicab takes this to the ultimate extreme: pay-as-you-drive economics, and nothing’s your fault provided you’re well behaved in the back seat. You have almost no control over the platform.
  8. These are all degrees of abdication and abstraction. Sometimes a taxi makes sense – for example, when we’re going from place to place in a city. Other times, building our own makes sense – for example, if we’re landing on the moon.
  9. This is a pretty obvious analogy to the computer industry. Sometimes, on-premise bare metal makes sense (and it’s expensive, but very customizable.) More likely, you’ll buy off-the-shelf components and define your own architecture. And other times, on-demand computing makes sense, either because of temporary workloads or because of elasticity.
  10. But there’s a change in computing. The advent of virtualization has made us able to – in the analogy – retool the factory floor as needed. Atop our physical architecture, we have the ability to define virtual architectures suited to specific application workloads: OLAP processing, message queues, data analysis, batch computing, and so on.
  11. This raises the question: where’s the abdication “sweet spot”? How do I find a tradeoff between “I want cloud efficiency and agility” and “I want to control it all”?
  12. What we’re seeing is the emergence of a new class of mainframe – for an era where the business and the workload, not IT’s hardware and platform constraints, is driving the architecture. Large multi-cabinet devices, holding storage, processing, network, automation, and control systems look just like mainframes. But inside, they can be retooled on the fly by the business to accommodate workloads.
  13. This simple fact dictates how we build computing architectures today. We put the UI out near the user, since that’s personal and unique – I’m looking at my flights on a Blackberry, you’re looking at yours on a desktop. Different content, different Uis. But we put the shared processing and computing together, in the middle. To distribute information on all flights to all of us would be a nightmare; and the code that has to chew on all those flights needs to live near it to minimize data movement.

  15. I want to talk about the British pint.
  16. Anyone know what this is?
