  What Makes HybridCloud So Difficult (why does it need simplification?) Hybrid typically means either “here” or “there” • Application is either running on-premises or in the cloud • Moving the applications data is difficult • Move data with application • Continually replicate data to cloud • Application typically needs conversion between on-premises hypervisor and cloud hypervisor • As a result applications are moved infrequently
• 4.
  How To Simplify EnterpriseSize Hybrid Cloud ● Simplify and Consolidate On-Premises ● Leverage Cloud Services to work with On-Premises ● Create a Path for Workload Migration
• 5.
  Simplify On-Premises ● Hyper-convergedsimplifies by ● Converging compute, storage and networking under the hypervisor ● Traditional Hyper-converged though does NOT Scale Efficiently ● Typically workload specific ● Not typically used for storage intensive workloads ● Can’t handle both scale-up & scale out applications in the same cluster ● Complexity re-introduced as HCI scales ● Just add a node adds complexity
• 6.
  Consolidate On-Premises –The Hardware Matters More Powerful, Better Equipped Nodes • NVMe Flash Nodes • High Performance Compute Leads to • Ability to run all workloads, including storage intensive • Limits node sprawl

  HYBRID CLOUD ADOPTION: HOWTO DEPLOY REPLACE AGING INFRASTRUCTURE WITH SMALL CLUSTERS OF LARGE SERVERS EXTEND TO AZURE WITH SIMPLIFIED CLOUD MANAGEMENT & SECURITY SERVICES CHOOSE A VALIDATED SOLUTION FOR EASE OF DEPLOYMENT & MANAGEMENT • FabricXpress’ unique technology allows you to scale up and out in the same cluster • Up to a petabyte of NVMe all-flash storage in just 6U scaling to 4 petabytes in just 18U • Consolidate SQL Databases*, Data Warehouse, File Servers, CRM, ERP into a single powerful HCI cluster • The only proven solution that drives enough IO to support all workloads in one HCI cluster • Axellio takes validated to the next level with an end to end optimized solution from pilot to support • FabricXpress, using off the shelf components in a unique way to push the performance of the solution, is validated against rigorous Microsoft testing • Microsoft has created a standard in hypervisor from on-premises to cloud for simple and familiar management • With built-in integration to Azure from Windows Admin Center – you can easily integrate on-premises workload with: • Azure Site Recovery & Backup • Cloud Witness • Azure Monitor • And more… *request a copy of benchmark testing of multi-application workloads performed in same cluster
• 11.
  • An “Inside-Out”approach to Hybrid Cloud • Deployed as an Enterprise HCI solution for on-premises and edge that easily extends to Azure for hybrid capabilities • Built on a server that is designed to support workloads in a new way FABRICXPRESS FOR AZURE STACK HCI: A SIMPLE VALIDATED SOLUTION SIMPLICITY | SCALABILITY | PERFORMANCE

  THE SOLUTION THE SOLUTION

  Benefit of LargeServers: • Traditional HCI clusters for single use workload (i.e. VDI only) aren’t your only option: • More available NVMe devices allows for larger CPUs to be fully utilized = capability to carve out larger VMs • With ability to serve up larger VMs comes the ability to run workloads concurrently within the same virtualized environment without QoS configuration Benefit of Smaller Clusters: • Greater Simplicity on top of the already simple HCI approach • Fewer servers and network ports • Less socket based licensing costs • Larger CPU and available capacity per node enables greater space and power efficiency SMALL CLUSTERS OF LARGE SERVERS: A SIMPLE & POWERFUL APPROACH Up to 176 Processor Cores 352x Hyper Threaded Cores Up to 4 TB RAM Up to 920 TB Raw Capacity* Capable of up to 1M IOPS per node @350us latency HP SN6000B 16Gb FC Switch 47434642454144403935383437333632312730262925282423192218211720161511141013912873625140 HP SN6000B 16Gb FC Switch 47434642454144403935383437333632312730262925282423192218211720161511141013912873625140 IN JUST 6U *Increased capacity supported as higher capacity SSDs become available
