VSAN
Hub
• In a hub, a frame is passed along or
"broadcast" to every one of its ports. It
doesn't matter that the frame is only destined
for one port.
• Unable in distinguishing which port a frame
should be sent to. Passing it along to every
port ensures that it will reach its intended
destination.
• This places a lot of traffic on the network and
can lead to poor network response times.
Switch
• In networks, a device that filters and
forwards packets between LAN segments.
Collision Domain
In Layer 3 VLAN's, users can move their workstations without reconfiguring their
network addresses. The only problem is that it generally takes longer to forward
packets using Layer 3 information than using MAC addresses.
5) Higher Layer VLAN's
• It is also possible to define VLAN membership based on
applications or service, or any combination thereof. For
example, file transfer protocol (FTP) applications can
be executed on one VLAN and telnet applications on
another VLAN.
• The 802.1Q draft standard defines Layer 1 and Layer 2
VLAN's only. Protocol type based VLAN's and higher
layer VLAN's have been allowed for, but are not
defined in this standard. As a result, these VLAN's will
remain proprietary.
Concept of SAN (Virtual SAN) and
Benefits
• When a Logical partition is created within a
physical storage area network (SAN), it is know
virtual storage area network (VSAN).
Virtualization technology enables division and
allocation of entire storage area network into
more logical SANs
When a Logical partition is created within a physical storage
area network (SAN), it is know virtual storage area network
(VSAN).
Benefits of SAN
• Enhanced application availability
• Higher application performance
• Centralized and consolidated storage
• Data transfer and vaulting to remote sites
• Simplified centralized management
VM Migration
• It refers to the movement or transfer between
different physical machines without any
discontinuity
Live migration refers to the process of moving a running virtual machine
or application between different physical machines without disconnecting
the client or application. Memory, storage, and network connectivity of the
virtual machine are transferred from the original guest machine to the
destination.
Advantages of Virtual Machine Migration:
• Workloads keep changing dynamically in servers.
• A scheduled maintenance normally results in some
downtime for the users of the server.
• In case of unscheduled server downtime (due to some
fault in server),
• Migration can also be used for Disaster Recovery.
• Its easier to migrate a Virtual Machine from one server
to another, than migrating the operating system and
application(s) individually.
• Using VM Migration, its possible to migrate operating
systems and applications from older servers to newer
servers easily and without disrupting the services.
VM consolidation and management
Cloud Interoperability standards
• There is a strong need for the development of
integrated interoperability authentication among all
provider.
• Several organizations such as the Cloud Computing
Interoperability Forum (CCIF) have been working on
solutions to address cloud interoperability challenges.
The Cloud standards Customer Council (CSCC)
provides the opportunity to convert and synchronize
client needs and specified requirement into standards
of development cloud firms and also for cloud users.
It provides standard research materials and
documents
Categories of Interoperability
•
When consumer wish to migrate from one cloud Provider
to another. interoperability falls into these categories:
1. Data and application portability: It means by running
applications and data, consumers should be able to migrate
easily from one cloud provides to another without any lock-
in-issue.
2 Platform portability: It means application development
environment or IDE should be capable enough to run over
any type of cloud infrastructure.
3. Infrastructure portability: it means virtual server or
machine images should have the freedom of portability
They should be able to migrate from one cloud provider to
another.
Open standards for solving cloud
interoperability challenges
• Application solution
Existing implemented cloud APIs need to become interoperable; Unified
cloud interface (UCI) is a developing interface for the unification for various cloud APIs.
• Platform solution
Cloud computing interoperability forum (CCIF), Open cloud computing interface
(OCCI) working group, Storage Networking Industry Association (SNIA)
• Infrastructure solution
Distributed management task force (DMTF), Open Virtualization Format (OVF),
Open Grid Forum (OGF), OCCI, IEEE P2301, P2302.
Open virtualization format
-Open
-Flexible
-Portable
- Optimal
-and Extensible
format for packaging of software that has to be
run in VMs.
Characteristics of OVF
1)Open standard
– Evolved with the collaboration of various key
venders
– Accepted standard of portable VMs
2)Portable VM packaging
Supports all types of virtual hard disk formats that can be associated
with any type of hypervisor, which may or may not be popular
