Netapp Insight 2018 – TFDx- HCI Revealed! Hyper Converged or Hybrid Cloud?

by Roger Lund
written by Roger Lund

I am sitting in Las Vegas , at a round table with some great colleagues today. No not at a poker table, but at yet another Tech Field Day.

A Few of the delegates.

@MBLeib 

also we have  at the table and and in the room!

Yes it’s  !

 

Time to get started.

 

Kicking it off is Gabriel Chapman @Bacon_Is_King

 

 

 

What is HCI.

 

Easy to buy

Simple to setup correctly

consolidates management & mait

Make private clouds easy

one throat to choke

easy to plan and scale

pay as you go expansion & economics

Rapidly respond to business demands

 

 

What is the differences between converged and HCI? Parts? self deployed vs built for the customer. Scale up vs Scale out.

 

Will we see a Mega Deployed in the future? Focus on a single platform and hardware Independence? Gabe thinks so.

 

Hypervisor and storage combined on Bare Metal. This gives us consolidated management. perhaps 1.0

 

 

Next we have Independent Hypervisor and Storage. Lets call this HCI 2.0

 

HCI Architectural options.

 

Deployed as a VM.

  • Time to market
  • Low entry point
  • Multiple hypervisors
  • Easy to buy
  • Simple to install
  • Consolidated management

 

Hypervisor based.

  • Feature Integration
  • Less overhead

 

Independent Compute and Storage

  • Flexibility & Scale
  • Enterprise Storage
  • Bare Metal workload is a option

 

Lets not get bogged down with definitions.

 

 

Netapp has the following focuses:

Inspire

  • Innovation in the cloud

Build

  • Clouds to accelerate new services.

Modernize

  • IT Architecture with Cloud-Connected flash.

 

 

Digital Transformation is driving new IT Imperatives.

 

Gabe claims it’s the battle of the harts and minds, as the public cloud comes into the data center. A example is snowball.

 

Netapp HCI focused on Customer Challenges.

 

  • Deliver Applications Faster
  • Operate Like Public Cloud
  • Provide Predictable Performance

 

Will the future of Netapp’s HCI be all cloud services on a local on-prep HCI offering?

Gabe and our delegates think it’s a future possibility.

 

Netapp HCI uses the solidfire technology, you can mix the storage nodes with a HCI storage cluster. It’s the same solution.

 

Netapp HCI Product Vision

 

Integrate Cloud Services.

Tackle new challanges

Enterprise scale HCI

 

 

Netapp Data Fabric

  • Integration at each step.

 

Extend Netapp Cloud Services

Expanded compute configurations.

New Trition nodes, GPU Accelerated Nodes.

Streamlined Infrastructure mgmt

Advanced Data Protection

Layered Security

Bundled Switch

Data Fabric

Netapp Open Shift Validated Design almost live

 

Looking to get to a 2 x 2 node configuration. 2x Computer, 2x Storage, and 2x witness nodes. Exploring options.

 

No Fiber Channel over token ring support. tehehe….

 

Thanks Gabe!

#datadriven

They start by kicking off a video about data driven.

 

Netapp ‘s George Kurian kicks it off.

 

He talks about the agenda to accelerate your business.

 

He states digital transformation is a top business priory for all customers. data is the digital business, data is the fuel for the digital business.

 

Market Leaders are data driven. 2006 1 out of top 10 ,2011 4 out of top 10, 2017 6 out of top 10.

 

Data driven digital transformation accelerates business outcomes.

 

Becoming data driven

break down the silos, make dedicated teams, and make a business process.

Digital transformation

  1. requires IT transformation
  2. Speed is the new scaleHybrid Multi-cloud
  3. is the de factio IT ArchitectureBuild a Data Strategy
  4. Move from data centers to data fabrics

Dreamworks

Kate from Dream works comes on stage.

She talks about 500mill files per film, and 10 films under development at once. In a hybrid cloud.

They are moving to a co engineering partnership.

They are streamlining operations to optimize the pipeline.

 

Dreamworks has a Sneak Peak of the next movie.

How to train your dragon, the hidden world.

 

What of the leading futurist’s in the world, Gerd Leonhard

Furturist and humanist

humanity will change more in the next 20 years than in the previous 300 years.

Humanity and technology are converging.

The future is already here: Science fiction is increasingly becoming science fact.

The game-chanrgers: Big Data + Cloud, ioT,AI, Super-Computer, Blockchain 3D-Printing

Technology is becoming life silences.

Data is the new Oil

AI is the new electricity

IoT is the new nervous system

AI: Computers systems that turn information and data into KNOWLEDGE

Your data and information s not all we need in order to gain knowledge

and knowing is not the same as understanding.

MEGASHIFTS

We are building a new Meta-Intelligenance :

It could be heaven or it could be hell.

#digitalethics

Talk of Ai and Ethics is on the rise.

With great power comes great responsibility. Digital Ethics the #1 topic for 2019 ( gartner )

Digital ethics is the difference between doing whatever technology process will enabl eus to do, and putting human happiness and societal flourishing first at all times

Technology and data has no ethics – but societies without ethics are doomed.

Who will be mission control for humanity?

Today it isn’t a problem, yet.

Facebook example gunning for Democracy.

Data Mining – works like a amazing mouse trap.

Data Myning

If? How? To Why? Who?

Key question. How much do you believe in technology?

AI? The Singularity?

Are humans ‘just really fancy ‘data?

Humans : androrithms

Social

Kinaesthetic

Emotional

Machines : algorithms

Technology is exponential

Humans are not!

We are not going to be come useless humans.

Machines will learn every single routine in the next 10 years. 65% of those jobs.

The end of routine is NOT the end of work! It’s just a end to routine.

Advise: don’t let you kids learn anything that requires routine.

Develop the right brain.

The future is driven by data – and defined by Humanity

Embrace Technology but don’t become it.

 

George takes back the stage.

He talks about the human aspects of data change.

Driven by data, but defined by humanity.

Netapp ‘s Soldifire HCI Overview at VMworld 2017 – Tech Field Day Extra.

by Roger Lund
written by Roger Lund

Netapp ‘s Soldifire HCI Overview. I had a chance to get a overview of Netapp’s new HCI Product while at Tech Field Day Extra while attending VMworld 2017.

 

I’ve long been a fan of the Solidfire Technology. From the early day’s to after the purchase and the re-branding of the product into Netapp.

 

 

Solidfire has always been built on Guaranteed Performance, flexibility & scale, and automated infrastructure and the Netapp Solidfire HCI product is no different.

 

With Netapp’s HCI Architecture, you see standard services that you would across all Netapp Products.

 

1

Here is the appliance and the new Netapp Solidfire look!

 

 

The idea is to indepentily scale the compute or storage nodes.

 

One OS across the entire Solidfire Platform.

 

Built on a open storage model.

 

 

Grow as needed.

 

Node Information

 

 

 

Great Stuff! Looking forward to learning more!

 

Here is the link to the Tech Field Day Video

 

 

 

 

Thanks

Deploying Solidfire is simple, its storage fast & highly efficient

by Philip Sellers
written by Philip Sellers

 

Deploying a Solidfire cluster may be one so the easiest deployments I’ve ever been a part of.  With a bit of pre-planning for the network, setting up a Solidfire cluster is straight-forward and quick.

Walk Through

The nodes arrive like any other server, boxed, with a rack mounting kit and some basic instructions. Racking the nodes is inconsequential.

Networking includes two options – in-band and out-of-band management for the cluster.  In-band involves using the dual 10Gig storage network for management also.  This means that your storage network needs to be routable.  Out-of-band means your cluster management is conducted across a separate network connected to dual 1Gig network adapters.  There is also an IP Management Interface on each node, DHCP by default or configurable in BIOS.   3 or 5 connections per node.   Once network is physically connected, you can move onto node configuration.

Each node comes with pre-deployed software on the node.    Using the Terminal User Interface, or TUI as they call it, you setup a few network settings and the basic cluster settings to form a cluster.   Once your network interfaces are configured in the TUI, you switch over to the web interface for a node.

In the node web interface, this is where you form the cluster.  Since the IP for the cluster was entered in the TUI, all that is needed is a simple click of a button to create the cluster – and all of the nodes pre-configured will be adopted into the new cluster.  [If the cluster config was not completed in the TUI, you can also do it in the Web UI.]

That’s it folks – cluster is online.  Next step is adding iSCSI initiators, creating volumes, and consuming the storage.  For configuring VMware Virtual Volumes (VVOLs), its a simple radio checkbox in the new cluster’s config, followed by registering the storage provider with vCenter.  Following that, VMware automatically configured the ESXi nodes and protocol endpoints.

Solidfire Nodes

NetApp is currently selling 4 different configurations of its Solidfire nodes.

  • SF4805 with 4.8TB of raw capacity & 50,000 IOPS
  • SF9605 with 9.6tB of raw capacity & 50,000 IOPS
  • SF19210 with 19.2TB of raw capacity & 100,000 IOPS
  • SF38410 with 38.4TB of raw capacity & 100,000 IOPS

NetApp advertises 5x to 10x of usable capacity after mirroring and all software efficiencies.  Its data protection algorithm is called Helix and its effectively a network mirroring technology where all of the data is spread across the nodes in the cluster.  Solidfire allows thin provisioning, block data deduplication and compression.  Solidfire is a block-only storage system – it is not a unified system with file services included.  A major feature of the system is its Quality of Service implementation – the ability to not only suppress noisy volume, but guarantee minimum levels of performance for each volume in the system.  The beauty of this is especially illustrated when deploying VMware VVOLs.

Comparison

One of my first projects with my new company has been a full market evaluation for our next generation storage platform.  Storage in 2017 largely falls into two categories – your traditional controller-based architectures and your software-defined scale-out architectures.  Controller-based are generally simpler arrays to manage with generally lower latency, however they have limits in scale and expansion.  Software-defined scale-out arrays offer superior scale (capacity and performance) and expansion but that comes with more cabling and software complexity.   Features vary array to array with unified arrays offering both file and block down to specific architectures for particular problems.   All-flash arrays with in-line deduplication and compression level the costs associated with the flash storage they use, offering comparable pricing to spinning disks.

At the end of the day, Solidfire came out as our choice.  I appreciate how much the Solidfire team has done to keep the complexity of their array under the covers and presenting a simple, intuitive interface to its customers.
