Bandwidth availability is tipping point for adoption of “The
Cloud”………
Worldwide broadband bandwidth availabilityis
becoming commonplace
Facilitates a pervasive web services delivery model
–(i.e. “The Cloud”)
Hosted in mega data centerswith massive amounts:
–Processors, Storage, Network
Today, when above 3 come together in a geo:
–We are seeing small, medium on-premise data
centers worldwide rapidly disappearing, off-
premise,into the cloud
The real question:
–Is traditional IT re-capturing / replacing workloads
when they move off-premiseto Cloud ?

Cloud: No longer exploratory
Expectations: Cloud computing
will be "just computing" by 2018
•Cloud is at the end of its
beginning phase and has gotten
serious
•Private cloud is growing, but
giving way to hybrid cloud
•Service providers, VARs, SIs are
rising to the cloud opportunity
•Cloud adoption is strong across
large enterprise as well as SMB.

So, What is a Cloud, really?
Why does it impact Traditional On-Premise
IT organization so heavily?
Extracted from presentation: “Building a 21
st
Century Cloud Storage Service” by John Sing:

To users, cloud seems “easy”, “instant”, “self-service”.
So what has to happen in the background?
Some would say that virtualization = cloud
Some IT traditionalists would say that cloud
is nothing more than much better managed
centralized, automated data centers
Unfortunately, such statements severely
undersize the essential organizational
element
To provide true cloud services, you must
also execute a significantshift in:
–Organizational lines
–Processes
–Workflows
–Workload types
–Required skill sets

Key Cloud organizational learning point:
Cloud involves major re-alignment of IT organization, skills
Re-alignment of IT processes, to facilitate real-time, elastic management, monitoring,
deliverybased on service catalog
–Aligned with the Lines of Business revenue generation / competitive advantage needs
(requires full-time liason positions)
Creation of service catalog requires IT to invest different efforts into
design/automationof IT capability
–New, additional skill requirements, aligned along a very different organizational structure,
metrics, and speed criteria
Provide governance that addresses risk of unauthorized or rogue accessto services
–Only appropriate approvals and credentials, thus new emphasis on network + security
Addressing resistance to change within IT organizationis the biggest success factor
If the on-premise IT organizations is unable to change…..
–this is also a major off-premise cloud driver

Policy-based Clouds and Design-for-Fail Clouds are
workloadoptimizedarchitectural choices
Policy-based Clouds
•Purpose optimized for longer-lived virtual
machines managed by Server Administrator
•Centralizes enterprise server virtualization
administration tasks
•High degree of flexibility designed to
accommodate virtualization all workloads
•Significant focus on managing availability and
QoS for long-lived workloads with level of
isolation
•Characteristics derived from exploiting enterprise
class hardware
•Legacy applications
Design-for-fail Clouds
•Purpose optimized for shorter-term virtual
machines managed via end-user or automated
process
•Decentralized control, embraces eventual
consistency, focus on making “good enough”
decisions
•High degree of standardization
•Significant focus on ensuring availability of
control plane
•Characteristics driven by software

Example: How many hours of Clint
Eastwood appears in all the movies he
has done?
Task: All movies need to be
parsed to find Clint’s face
•Traditional approach:
1)Upload a movie to the application server
through the network
2) The Analysis Program compares Clint’s
picture with every frame of the loaded movie.
3) Repeat the 2 previous steps for every movie
•Big Data Approach :
1)Send the Analysis Program and Clint’s
picture to all the DataNodes.
2) The Analysis Program in every DataNode
(all in parallel) compares the Clint’s picture
with every frame of the loaded movie.
3) The results of every DataNodes are
consolidated. A unique result is generated.
Traditional approach : Move data to program
Big Data approach: Move function/programs to data

Hadoop principles: Storage, HDFS and MapReduce
Hadoop Distributed File System = HDFS : where Hadoop stores the data
–HDFS file system spans all the nodes in a cluster with locality awareness
Hadoop data storage, computation model
–Data stored in a distributed file system, spanning many inexpensive computers
–Send function/program to the data nodes
–i.e. distribute application to compute resources where the data is stored
–Scalable to thousands of nodes and petabytes of data
MapReduce Application
1.Map Phase
(break job into small parts)
2.Shuffle
(transfer interim output
for final processing)
3.Reduce Phase
(boil all output down to
a single result set)
Return a single result setResult Set
Shuffle
public static class TokenizerMapper
extends Mapper<Object,Text,Text,IntWritable> {
private final static IntWritable
one = new IntWritable(1);
private Text word = new Text();
public void map(Object key, Text val, Context
StringTokenizer itr =
new StringTokenizer(val.toString());
while (itr.hasMoreTokens()) {
word.set(itr.nextToken());
context.write(word, one);
}
}
}
public static class IntSumReducer
extends Reducer<Text,IntWritable,Text,IntWrita
private IntWritable result = new IntWritable();
public void reduce(Text key,
Iterable<IntWritable> val, Context context){
int sum = 0;
for (IntWritable v : val) {
sum += v.get();
. . .
Distribute map
tasks to cluster
Hadoop Data Nodes
Data is loaded,
spread, resident in
Hadoop cluster
Performance =
tuning Map Reduce workflow,

Two different types of cloud tooling
Cloud storage tooling will most likely reside:
In the external shared storagestack for policy-based traditional transactional IT:
–External IBM Smarter Storagehardware and software for block and file storage
In the virtualized server, direct attach storage, applicationstack for design-for-fail:
–IBM SmartCloud software, IBM participation in Open Stack, IBM Softlayer
Both are appropriate, match to proper environment

Data Growth Types in the Cloud
Worldwide File-based vs Block-based
Storage Capacity Shipments 2008-2015
Block
File
Object
Block–Traditional data is structured and managed by OS i.e. Database
File –High growth data is unstructured and managed by OS i.e. File System
Object –Higher growth data is unstructured and managed by Application

Object Storage –fundamental type of storage for Cloud
Object Storage
Network “Best Case”delivery
Best usage = data that doesn’t
change
i.e. backups, archives, digital images,
virtual machine images….
Distance limited only to
acceptable network latency
Servers
Applications
Object storage features are minimal compared to NAS or SAN:
–store, retrieve, copy, delete files
–control which users can do what
Protocol usually HTTP interface Object Storage API (RESTful API)
–Can be in URL format for WWW access
Application is responsible for tracking object unique IDs and supplying
that unique ID to retrieve data from object storage
Typically longer response times than either NAS or SAN
–Slower throughput compared traditional file system means object storage
unsuitable for data that changes frequently
Typical usages:great fit for data that doesn't change much:
–backups, archives, video and audio, VM images
–i.e. internet-scale repositories of data
–This is why it is so essential to Cloud
No concept of file system. Rather, application saves object (files + additional metadata) to the object store via PUT API cmd,
application gets a unique keyfor the saved file, application must provide that unique key to a GET API command to
retrieve files
Can imbed searchable
metadatadirectly into
object storage system

44. © 2013 IBM Corporation
IBM Cloud Storage Briefing –December 3, 2013
44
Objects are a natural fit to “born on cloud” data (mobile, social)
Objects are written once and never modified (although they can be replaced)
–this describes most born on the cloud data
–Pictures, e-mails, movies, tweets, blog-posts, web pages, etc.
–This data is both consumer and enterprise
–Much of this data is accessed from mobile devices
Hence Object Storage is essential to participate in Cloud Storage world

Internet Scale Workload Characteristics -1
Embarrassingly parallel Internet workload
–Immense data sets, but relatively independentrecords being processed
•Example: billions of web pages, billions of log / cookie / click entries
–Web requests from different users essentially independentof each over
•Creating natural units of data partitioning and concurrency
•Lends itself well to cluster-level scheduling / load-balancing
–Independence = peak server performance not important
–What’s important is aggregate throughput of 100,000s of servers
i.e. Very low
inter-process
communication
Workload Churn
–Well-defined, stable high level API’s(i.e. simple URLs)
–Software release cycles on the order of every couple of weeks
•Means Google’s entire core of search services rewritten in 2 years
–Great for rapid innovation
•Expect significant software re-writes to fix problems ongoing basis
–New products hyper-frequently emerge
•Often with workload-altering characteristics, example = YouTube

Internet Scale Workload Characteristics -2
Platform Homogeneity
–Single company owns, has technical capability, runs entire platform end-
to-end including an ecosystem
–Most Web applications more homogeneous than traditional IT
–With immense number of independent worldwide users
1% -2% of all
Internet requests
fail*
Users can’t tell difference
between Internet down and
your system down
Hence 99% good enough

Fault-free operation via application middleware
–Some type of failure every few hours, including software bugs
–All hidden from users by fault-tolerant middleware
–Means hardware, software doesn’t have to be perfect
Immense scale:
–Workload can’t be held within 1 server, or within max size tightly-clustered
memory-shared SMP
–Requires clusters of 1000s, 10000s of servers with corresponding PBs
storage, network, power, cooling, software
–Scale of compute power also makes possible apps such as Google Maps,
Google Translate, Amazon Web Services EC2, Facebook, etc.

Wow. Given that fact…..
Whose data centers are most
power efficient?
Reducing power profile = lowers
initial CAPEX SIGNIFICANTLY
Therefore, fundamental Internet
Scale Data Center goal is:
Decrease Power Usage
Effectiveness (PUE)
PUE =
