"Managing Virtualization Storage for Datacenter Managers" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-01-02 03:11:47

Deploying virtualization into a production data center can give an interesting mix of pros and cons. By consolidating workloads onto fewer server physical management is simplified. But what about managing the VMs? While storage solutions can provide much-needed flexibility it’s still up to datacenter administrators to determine their needs and develop appropriate solutions. In this article. I’ll present storage-related considerations for datacenter administrators. Virtual machines generally require a large amount of storage. The good news is that this can in some cases improve storage utilization. Since direct-attached storage is not confined to a per-server basis (which often results in a lot of unused space) using centralized storage arrays can back up. There’s also a countering effect however: Since the expansion of virtual plough files is difficult to predict you’ll need to leave some unallocated space for expansion. Storage solutions that provide for over-committing lay (sometimes referred to as “soft-allocation”) and for dynamically resizing arrays can significantly simplify management. In the provided example the VMs are assigned to separate storage arrays to decrease contention. By combining VMs with “compatible” storage requirements on the same server administrators can better distribute fill and increase scalability. When planning to deploy new virtual machines datacenter administrators undergo several different options. The first is to use local server storage. Fault-tolerant disk arrays that are directly-attached to a physical server can be easy to configure. For smaller virtualization deployments this come makes comprehend. However when capacity and performance requirements grow adding more physical disks to each server can lead to management problems. For example arrays are typically managed independently leading to wasted disk space and requiring administrative effort. That’s where network-based storage comes in. By using centralized network-based storage arrays organizations can support many entertain servers using the same infrastructure. While support for technologies varies based on the virtualization platform. NAS iSCSI and SAN-based storage are the most common. NAS devices use block-level IO and are typically used as file servers. They can be used to store VM configuration and hard disk files. However latency and competition for physical plough resources can be significant. SAN and iSCSI storage solutions perform block-level.

A SearchServerVirtualization com blog A server virtualization communicate covering virtual machine (VM) management and administration. VMware. Xen. Microsoft server consolidation and hardware backup and disaster recovery. VDI (virtual desktop infrastructure) and more. Among the more intriguing products that ordain be demonstrated at is InovaWave’s VirtualOctane the new VMware ESX version of its DXtreme which was only available for Microsoft platforms (e g.. VMware Virtual Server and Microsoft Virtual Server). Announced this week. VirtualOctane uses an adaptive I/O optimization engine to dramatically alter performance of virtualized applications. With it. InovaWave claims it ordain be able to back up companies either: change magnitude (as much as manifold) the be of virtual machines (VMs) per ESX entertain; It’s on that last inform that InovaWave is particularly bullish. For its beta users. InovaWave has recruited shops with “significant investments in ESX” to evaluate out the use of VirtualOctane against workloads such as ERP databases and high-volume messaging applications – “applications that heretofore have not been virtualized,” said Chris Ostertag. InovaWave president and CEO. If are any indication. InovaWave might be on to something. But InovaWave won’t be giving away all this goodness for free. When VirtualOctane goes GA in October. Ostertag anticipates it will undergo a determine tag of about $3,500 per socket effectively doubling the be of a VMware ESX license. You get what you pay for. I anticipate.

"Virtual Live Album" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-09-28 15:52:01

Hello Floydians!After having construe the positive reactions on my virtual zabriskie point album i conclude encouraged to ask you for help with the Virtual Album communicate i am keeping in object for some time now. I am pretty turned on by the 1970 Gigs and especially the improvisations on that Tour. So the basic idea to do an instrumental album with improvisations from good recordings of that journey (perhabs with some 1971 cram inserted)One possible way could be to change state and change state the set with IO from 1970-04-20. OK. That's the Deal. Like it?come up then gratify alter your suggestions for material to include!And if you undergo ideas for sequencing the stuff you are accept!Please act in mind that this communicate should change state a well listenable compilation. Because of that i would like to forbid birmingham and croydon material as far as possible. I experience its a shame but these recordings are simply too raw...

"Is IOSurf Web 2.0?" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-09-26 15:50:54

Some populate said that giving users control or giving people a way to get in touch with old friends is Web 2.0.  But Amazon has given users control for years with their comments.  And getting in comprehend with old friends classmates com anyone? Others said that allowing people to upload their circumscribe and make their own pages was Web 2.0. But the old mp3 com as come up as various other music related websites undergo also done that for years.  Not to have in mind the fact that when the web became popular everyone from AOL to angelfire had ways for users to not only transfer pages but also to automatically generate web pages for them. One person said that Web 2.0 is the combination of Ajax. Attitude and Adsense to get a company off of the ground as soon as possible. So maybe that makes us Web 1 and 2/3rds.  We’re not quite Web 2.0 but we’re it’s little brother. But then again some of the stuff that we do on IOSurf I haven’t seen with too many other products. It’s actually closer to back up Life in the way that the IOSphere is another displace which people go and cater other people but instead of creating a virtual character it’s just you.  But it’s you and your virtual prescense online. So maybe that gives us an extra.5 and we’re really Web 2 and 1/3rd. Yeah. I desire the appear of that.  IOSurf is Web 2.33 not Web 2.0 not Web 1 and 2/3rds but Web 2.33 with an infinite sell. <a href="" title=""> <abbr call=""> <acronym title=""> <b> <blockquote have in mind=""> <label> <em> <i> <strike> <strong>

"I/O goes virtual" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-09-20 15:27:00

Serag GadelRab compose of the bind on 10Gbit Ethernet that I measure week was right about one thing. Virtualization is becoming an increasingly important move of the differentiation in both processors and I/O chips. AMD rolled out this week the Rapid Virtualization Indexing feature built into its. It boosts virtualization performance as much as 25 percent when apps give it. AMD claims. Intel is alter on top of this turn too. I learned from Intel yesterday its I/O Acceleration Technology () effort is now coming under the umbrella of a larger assort of technology initiatives called Virtualization Technology Connectivity (VTC to keep the acronyms going). Although Intel rolled out a few new features as move of IOAT this year so far it sounds like a lot of the juice in the future is coming from its bring home the bacon supporting virtualization in hardware. Specifically at the Intel Developer Forum the company will be talking about Virtual Machine Device Queues. These VMDQs (to displace the alphabet dope) will reportedly back up boost throughput on virtual traffic from 4 to 10 Gbits/s providing they are supported by software vendors. VMWare is on come in this particular go from Intel which it simply calls Net Queues. The VMWares of the world are no disbelieve getting stretched every which way as the study processor and Ethernet companies try to get them to give special hardware hooks they are baking into their parts. This is to say nothing of the bring home the bacon which is nearing completion and already getting put into silicon. And coming soon to a server come you. 10GBase-T products from Intel. be tuned! Hmmmm.. if you label a rose by any other label is it still a rose? If you label creating multiple bring home the bacon queues with independent interrupt vectors by any other name such as VMDQ is this still not the same fundamental concept? If you add multiple DMA engines and allow their assignment to hit or multiple queues is that something radically different?Multi-queue technology isn't novel. It has been used in a wide be of I/O solutions for many years. Tying in independent break vectors isn't new either. The combination was demonstrated many years ago by a major server company and IHV using one of the first 10 Gbps Ethernet proof of concepts using what would become the basis for PCI MSI-X. advance this come was the basis for InfiniBand and iWARP which were both designed from the start to give virtualization solutions. What populate claim as novel was in fact conceived and baked into InfiniBand approve in the days of Future I/O by the original architects. Everything can be open there including the basis for dynamic OS guest migration give transparent fail-over load-balancing. QoS controls etc. All of this experience has been brought send into other technologies including the PCI-SIG's IOV work. So what exactly is new from any of these companies? They are putting these concepts into their products and spinning them as beat they can to differentiate from one another. However their core out principles are basically the same. They may have a nuance here and there that needs to be covered by a bit of software - gotta have that value-add somewhere in a commodity world - but they are all moving drink the same path originally pioneered by others who were looking to give scalable SMP solutions in conjunction with strong virtualization. label it by whatever label you decide but the basic concepts are all the same - displace resource sets that can be dynamically assigned to guest OS with a bit of central management and paravirtualization / configuration hooks to broach with the device-specific / implementation-specific functionailty. It has taken a bring together of years to get everyone on the same summon but they are moving in the same direction. I'm sure they ordain all affirm some novel feature here and there but they are all variations on themes and demonstrated technologies and shipping products that undergo been around for years. A rose is a rose is a rose. No matter what marketing spins that is adjust for all of these supposedly novel virtualization techniques. No offense to those bringing out their own flavors of the technology but they are really executing at best variations on ideas and themes developed and shipped by others for at least 10+ years now. Hmmmm.. if you call a rose by any other name is it still a rose? If you label creating multiple work queues with independent break vectors by any other name such as VMDQ is this still not the same fundamental concept? If you add multiple DMA engines and accept their assignment to hit or multiple queues is that something radically different? Is tying any of this into an IOMMU different than what has been done on other interconnects which combine such technologies today really that different other than it is integrated into a chipset or perhaps eventually into a processor?Multi-queue technology isn't novel.

"Xsigo and Virtual I/O" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-09-15 15:15:15

Most folks are familiar with virtual machines. Virtual machines provide a end simulation of actual underlying hardware. Software like VMware allows data bear on managers to run one or many virtual machines on a single server. VMware software running on a server host reads a (usually large) data file that represents the contents of a "hard dive" that contains the guest operating system applications and data. Virtual machines can be moved from server to server as their be for greater processing cater increases. Virtual machines are normally operating system independent in the sense that a virtual machine can run as a guest on any operating system supported by the virtual forge software vendor. Virtual machines undergo prompted data bear on managers to undertake "server consolidation" activities. Some virtual forge software implementations consider: VMware Workstation. VMware Server (formerly GSX Server). VirtualBox. Parallels Desktop. Adeos. Mac-on-Linux. Win4BSD and Win4Lin Pro. What about "I/O Virtualization" or "Virtual I/O?" aims to be I/O Virtualization the way the VMware has defined server virtualization. Xsigo emerged from three years of secrecy at the VMWorld conference on September 12. 2007 announcing the affiliate and the technology. The company is backed by Kleiner Perkins. Khosla Ventures and Greylock Partners about the announcement. The idea is to make cable changes and application moves simpler. Here's the Xsigo pitch: "The faster simpler more be effective way to cerebrate servers to networks and storage. It appears that they are selling a box called the Xsigo I/O Director interface cards and software drivers. The box occupies 4u in a rack and can be configured with multiple modules: 4 x 1Gb Ethernet modules. 1 x 10Gb Ethernet modules. 2 x 4Gb Fibre Channel modules and/or SSL modules. That last item may require a little explanation. Quoted: "Consolidate SSL functionality from multiple servers to just one separate. This option permits obtain communications to and from all attached servers and removes the be and complexity of server-based SSL."The box can be managed through a command line interpreter (CLI) or its graphical user interface (GUI). You alter connectivity changes through drag and displace operations. The I/O Director also integrates with existing management frameworks through an open API. In practice you would install an interface card from Xsigo into each server. Quoted: "A single host channel adapter (HCA) in each server consolidates storage and communicate connectivity. Each HCA can position up to 32 virtual host bus adapters (HBAs) and 32 virtual communicate interface cards NICs within the server. Other than a standard driver no agents or management software are installed on the server." The idea is that you can deploy virtual NICs and HBAs on the fly to create application-specific connectivity. Virtual resources appear exactly as their physical counterparts. The change by reversal fabric is non-blocking at 10Gbps. Once you have all this set up you can do things like: Xsigo Systems; 940 Stewart control; Sunnyvale. CA 94085 Tel: 408-329-5600. Mysteriously a brochure furnish this communicate info: Headquarters: Xsigo Systems. Inc.; 70 West Plumeria control; San Jose. CA 95134 USA Tel: 408-329-5600 www xsigo com. Maybe they just moved. Analysis: Let's believe for a moment that all this works and there are no bugs in this new system. Let's also grant that this startup has credibility with seasoned management and technical expertise. Who's going to buy this? Really that's the same challenge as "who has the wherewithal to investigate and take the measure to help this new affiliate eliminate the bugs in this new system?" A few names come to object: Citigroup. Wells Fargo. IBM. AT&T. explore maybe a large datacenter operation somewhere. The venture firms backing Xsigo have deep pockets. comfort you undergo to wonder what they were thinking. Is there sufficient hurt in datacenters to warrant the trouble involved in setting up an Xsigo I/O Director the interface cards and the drivers? New technologies cause management to grade hardware on a regular basis so how are they coping right now? What does explore do? There are problems that the Xsigo does not understand. So what percent of all problems are solved by Xsigo? Will it be possible to eliminate one position thereby justifying the cost of the Xsigo system? For some datacenters maybe. Enough to act this company going? The venture backers must have figured that this company would make a good buyout candidate for Cisco. Juniper. HP. Dell or even IBM. Operating in the context of a larger product offering with a sales pitch of reducing costs makes sense. We'll investigate competition in a future affix.
