INTRODUCTION This paper discusses a cloud architecture’s capabilities for meeting today’s business demands for IT agility and illustrates the foundation for a highly mobile and dynamic hypervisor-agnostic computing infrastructure built with best-of-breed products from Fujitsu, NetApp, and Brocade. The intended audience is network architects interested in virtualization and cloud architecture. The goal of this paper is to provide the reader insight to considerations that should be made when constructing a cloud infrastructure. The architectural design in this paper should not be construed as a fully tested, qualified and supported configuration. Rather it is simply as an example of what can be built. To implement such an infrastructure, please consult with your local Fujitsu, NetApp and Brocade representatives. Here is a content outline: An introduction to the cloud computing and data center virtualization concepts and design considerations Overview of the architectures tested o Technology elements o Designs Product overviews Best practices Appendices o Design and configuration notes
Executive Summary Cloud computing developed from the widespread adoption of virtualization, service-oriented architecture, and autonomic and utility computing. It reduces the number of standardized products, technologies, and platforms of the underlying IT infrastructure resources. This standardization promotes consistency and reduces operational complexity. Cloud computing also encourages IT to develop a catalog of standard services on which to build business capabilities. Some cloud computing features are: • Virtual infrastructure to provide resources. Virtualization technology enables the data center itself to become a dynamic pool of resources. Applications and data are not constrained to a specific physical server or a single storage device. Operations ensure that adequate resources are available while service provisioning handles the resources allocated to an application or user. • Service provisioning. Services must be provisioned with little or no effort on the part of the IT group responsible for maintaining the resource pools. Users are able to use self-service portals to request and obtain computing, storage, and network connectivity within minutes. This is a significant departure from the earlier IT model of project-based application deployment from dedicated hardware. • Payment at time of use. Cloud computing supports many innovative financial models, such as payas-you-go, and even a no-cost model for some public cloud applications in which advertising pays for the infrastructure. To build a platform that enable cloud services, companies need to identify the infrastructure components that can be integrated into a unified platform. This platform must include server, storage, and networking components which support applications and cloud services. Open Cloud Architecture

In a virtualized data center, every aspect of a piece of hardware is abstracted from every other piece of hardware. Moving data from one array to another, moving applications from one server to another, moving network services from one switch to another—essentially all add, move, or change operations—could be conducted without disrupting applications or users, It is possible to build an abstraction layer that covers the entire data center itself. Brocade, Fujitsu, and NetApp have packaged this architecture into a basic infrastructure to enable scalability in order to meet growing business needs, instead of building upon a project-by-project basis. Together they have built a family of solutions that showcase a cloud-capable infrastructure that is flexible and scalable. The architecture has been validated to enable: Convergence (multiple protocols running concurrently) Hypervisor-agnostic infrastructure o Integration with VMWare o Integration with Microsoft Multi-tenancy Virtual Machine mobility Fujitsu, NetApp, and Brocade are continuing to develop solutions and will be looking to support complete integrated bundles for sale in the coming months.
ARCHITECTURE The infrastructure architecture consists of: Fujitsu PRIMERGY CX1000 and PRIMERGY RX200 for the server platforms in both configurations o The CX1000 is supported by CX120 mainboard equipped with Brocade 1020 dual port CNAs Brocade 8000 Switch as top-of-rack 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) DCB switch and as a potential bridge into Fibre Channel (FC) SAN Brocade MLX and MLX-4 chassis as aggregation level/core switch NetApp FAS 3140A storage arrays with UTA (Universal Target Adapters) Other optional equipment available: Fujitsu ETERNUS FC storage as alternative to the NetApp storage Brocade 300 FC SAN switch Brocade FWS 624 IP switch Brocade FCX-S 648 IP switch Other Fujitsu, Brocade, and NetApp management products
Key technology elements VMware’s remote hypervisor boot was used for this architecture because it provides excellent virtual switch management and integration into NetApp and Brocade network management. VMware is currently the market leader and has been showcased in other cloud scenarios. This solution also runs Microsoft’s Hyper-V in parallel, as it utilizes the strengths of both industry leaders’ virtualization products.

Principle Design
As seen with the above components, the fundamental structure is defined by the 24-port Brocade 8000 Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) switch. This leads to basic building blocks of 16 to 20 servers at the minimum, which are connected to two Brocade 8000 switches that provide redundant connection to each server. At the north side of the Brocade 8000, Ethernet and Fibre Channel (FC) traffic are split and forwarded to 10 GbE LAN and 8 GB FC SAN switches. This architecture is extremely scalable as most of these building blocks can be connected to appropriate LAN and SAN switches without adding management complexity. As an alternative, an end-user can utilize NetApp’s storage arrays with their UTA (Universal Target Adapter) allowing direct connection to FCoE. In smaller configurations, this enables the possibility of omitting the entire FC network.
These two architectures were developed and tested, one at Fujitsu and one at Brocade, each with a different focus by using different server nodes and network oversubscription. The architecture built at Fujitsu was focused on efficiency in every respect to optimize the data center density, power consumption, and heat dissipation problems. By using the Fujitsu PRIMERGY CX1000, the design uses a one-step approach to conserve space, energy, and cost. The architecture built at Brocade capitalizes on higher performance and higher throughput through less oversubscription. This Open Cloud Architecture

architecture utilizes Fujitsu PRIMERGY RX200 server nodes and is easy to install for new customers or evaluation purposes at existing customers. Flexible with the number of required nodes, it can be less expensive compared to a standard complete PRIMERGY CX1000 configuration. Fujitsu Configuration This configuration is based on the Fujitsu PRIMEGY CX1000 cloud server hardware. The 38 servers are divided into two groups: the upper 19 servers which are connected to the upper two Brocade 8000 switches and the lower 19 servers which are connected to the lower two Brocade 8000 switches. The following graphic illustrates the customer network and the management network will be illustrated later in this paper. The NetApp FAS3140A is directly connected through FCoE by two ports to each of the four Brocade 8000 switches. With an emphasis on efficiency, there is only a three port LAG connecting the Brocade 8000 switch to the MLX switch. The FAS 3140A array is connected to each Brocade 8000 switch through two ports.
Brocade Configuration This configuration is based on Fujitsu PRIMERGY RX200 rack servers and focuses on IO performance and throughput configured with an oversubscription of 2:1. An additional benefit of this design is oversubscription flexibility to meet an end user’s specific requirements. The following graphic illustrates the customer data network and the management network will be illustrated later in this paper. The NetApp FAS3140A is directly connected through FCoE by two ports to each of the two Brocade 8000 switches through FCoE. A 4-port LAG connects the Brocade 8000 to the MLX-4 switch. The FAS 3140A array is connected to each Brocade 8000 switch through two ports.

Traditional FC SAN alternative An alternative to the NetApp storage connected with FCoE, is the Fujitsu ETERNUS storage system. The Brocade 8000 switch additionally provides eight FC ports which can connect storage to the PRIMERGY CX1000 rack. The ETERNUS FC storage is connected through a Brocade 300 switch to the FC ports on the Brocade 8000 switches.

Management infrastructure for both configurations A separate management LAN was used for testing.
A Brocade FWS switch is the core of the management network. The central management station hosting all the management software is connected to it, as well as the dedicated (out-of-band) management ports of nearly all the other components (except FCX-S). This enables the administrator to manage the infrastructure entirely independently of the customer production network. Each server node’s BMC (Baseboard Management Controller) is connected to the first onboard NIC (LoM) which is connected to a FCX switches working as ToR management switch. This in-rack 1 GbE management network provides both BMC-based out-of-band server HW management (like power-on/off) and OS or hypervisor management (e.g. VMotion). Management Software The Brocade FWS ran a DHCP server to provide IP configurations (within the management network only) especially to the larger number of server nodes. The Central Management Station (CMS) is a PRIMERGY RX200 with at least 16 GB of memory and a local disc to host the ServerView Deployment and Operations Manager, which installs and operates the servers. The Brocade DCFM network management software administers all switch components. VCenter manages the VMware Hypervisors and VMs on the server nodes. As long as there is only one NetApp FAS Array in the infrastructure, the NetApp Operations Manager is not required. A single array is managed by the FAS-built-in ONTAP management SW. For larger installations, the NetApp OM would also be installed on the CMS.

PRODUCT INTRODUCTIONS NetApp FAS System Storage Series Unified Storage Architecture Enterprises are looking for cost-effective ways to simplify and unify storage infrastructure across both storage protocols and storage tiers. Their goals include: Improving service levels Reducing redundancy costs and minimizing the number of point solutions Moving toward an end-to-end data protection plan (backup and recovery, data recovery, archiving) with a single management interface Implementing a recovery-centric approach to storage that minimizes downtime after an outage Providing a multisite infrastructure that protects as many applications as possible (made possible by cheaper network bandwidth) Delegating more functions to application and system administrators (This requires a common storage area coupled with policy-based tools) In addition to being able to run multiple storage protocols on the same system, speed and simplicity are crucial, as well as how broadly those management capabilities can be leveraged. Single provisioning interface. A single interface is required to effectively pool storage, creating one model for defining data containers that can be allocated and dynamically managed (sized and resized) for use by a wide range of applications, whether they need block (SAN) or file (NAS) access. Common management framework. A single data model and toolset enables consistency a consistent management framework across many applications and workloads. A set of common management services creates a hierarchy of value, from physical storage management of to application-level integration. Policy-based automation. Both a single provisioning interface and a common management framework are required in order to enables policy-based automation through which storage administrators may delegate some or all of the responsibility for provisioning and management tasks. This extends a single toolset across the organization, enabling system administrators, application administrators, DBAs, and others to quickly accomplish storage tasks without storage administrator involvement. Shared data protection at the storage level. A single data protection architecture encompasses everything from a single file to full disaster recovery—all based on the same Ž foundation. Starting with Snapshot copy technology, NetApp has built a consistent set of tools that leverage that underlying capability, extending its use for a wide range of applications both in the data center and in remote offices. The result is near-instant data recovery and the ability to extend a consistent set of data protection tools to files, LUNs, databases, and applications. Ability to incorporate other third-party storage. Almost every existing data center has substantial investments in storage from a variety of vendors. Using NetApp V-Series can extend many of the advantages of unified storage to existing third-party storage; for example, from Fujitsu, EMC, HP, HDS, IBM and others. It is even possible to set up mixed environments. All NetApp FAS Systems (as well as NetApp V-Series) run one common operating system: Data ONTAPŽ. With the NetApp FAS product line, mission-critical data can be consolidated across a company enterprise, regardless of existing size or number of storage platforms. After it is consolidated, it will also be more efficiently protected and recoverable. With NetApp Data Open Cloud Architecture

ONTAP® software, an expanded set of applications can be supported through dynamic virtualizing storage throughout the existing Fibre Channel SAN infrastructure. Entire blocks are unified and storage networking paradigms are filed under a common architecture. This solution also includes a complete suite of advanced tools to manage consolidated data. The NetApp FAS systems are scalable and contain many terabytes of managed capacity with industryleading performance. Systems can be configured for simultaneous active-active access with secure failover across two independent controllers in a storage system. Using a single data management architecture reduces complexity and improves efficiency. Brocade 8000 top-of-rack DCB/FCoE switch The Brocade 8000 enables access to LAN and SAN environments over a common server connection by utilizing Data Center Bridging (DCB) and FCoE protocols. LAN traffic is forwarded to aggregation layer Ethernet switches using conventional 10 GbE connections, and storage traffic is forwarded to FC SANs over 8 Gbps FC connections. Part of a unified DCB/FCoE solution unique to Brocade, the Brocade 8000 helps organizations reduce their capital and operating expenses in enterprise data centers. The Brocade 8000 provides best-in-class performance using a cut-through, non-blocking architecture. The low-profile 1U design features twenty-four 10 Gbps DCB ports for server and LAN connections, and eight 8 Gbps Fibre Channel ports for SAN connectivity. The advanced ASIC technology of the Brocade 8000 provides unique frame-based trunking of server connections at up to 40 Gbps of combined throughput. The switch also features standards-based Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) for LAN connections, as well as frame-based trunking of SAN connections at up to 64 Gbps of throughput. To meet current and future needs, organizations have the flexibility of activating both the DCB ports and Fibre Channel ports, with full FCoE support enabled. Alternatively, they can initially deploy the Brocade 8000 as a 10 GbE Layer 2 Ethernet switch and activate only the DCB ports. For SAN connectivity in the future, they can add optional licenses to activate the Fibre Channel ports and FCoE capabilities, providing a seamless path to server I/O consolidation. Brocade has also released a new generation of 10 GbE DCB switch, Brocade VDX 6720, which would also be capable of being used in this configuration. At the heart of Brocade VDX 6720 switches is Brocade Virtual Cluster Switching (VCS™), a new Ethernet fabric technology that addresses the unique requirements of evolving data center environments. Customers will be able to seamlessly transition their existing multitier hierarchical networks to a much simpler, virtualized, and converged data center network—moving at their own pace. Brocade VDX 6720 Data Center Switches are specifically designed to improve network utilization, maximize application availability, increase scalability, and dramatically simplify network architecture in virtualized data centers. By leveraging Brocade VCS technology, the Brocade VDX builds data center Ethernet fabrics—revolutionizing the design of Layer 2 networks and providing an intelligent foundation for cloud computing. Brocade dual port CNA (Converged Network Adapter) The CNA supports full Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) protocol offload and allows Ethernet and storage traffic to run simultaneously over a converged link. Advanced capabilities such as support for Jumbo frames, VLAN tagging, TCP Segmentation Offload (TSO) and Large Send Offload (LSO) is also beneficial in iSCSI storage environments. By offering a single adapter to replace the dedicated Fibre Channel Host Bus
Adapters (HBAs) and Ethernet NICs in a data center server, the Brocade 1010/1020 CNAs reduce both capital and operational expenses—while simplifying management through Brocade Network Advisor. The Brocade 1010 and 1020 CNAs provide the industry’s highest levels of IOPS per port: up to 500,000 with less than 2usec in latency. In addition to that, these CNAs provide the industry’s highest sustained Open Cloud Architecture

FCoE throughput performance, making them ideal for highly demanding storage and transactionintensive applications. In addition, they draw low amounts of energy, helping to keep servers running efficiently. Brocade CNAs support open industry standards such as T11 FCoE, FIP, and IEEE Data Center Bridging (DCB) capabilities, including Priority-based Flow Control (PFC 802.1Qbb) and Enhanced Transmission Selection (ETS 802.1Qaz). As a result, they are designed to provide a smooth transition of DCB/FCoE into any existing data center infrastructures. Brocade MLX Series The Brocade MLX Series of advanced routers delivers unprecedented scale and performance, high reliability, and cost-saving operational efficiency for the world’s most demanding service provider and enterprise networks. Brocade MLX Series routers feature industry-leading 100 GbE, 10 GbE, and 1 GbE wire-speed density; rich IPv4, IPv6, Multi-VRF, MPLS, and Carrier Ethernet capabilities without compromising performance; and advanced Layer 2 switching. Designed for non-stop networking, the Brocade MLX Series features Multi-Chassis Trunking (MCT), which provides more than 30 Tbps of dual-chassis bandwidth, full active/active routing links, and uninterrupted traffic flow in the event of node failover. Organizations can achieve high resiliency through fully redundant switch fabrics, management modules, power supplies, and cooling systems. Fujitsu PRIMERGY RX Platform PRIMERGY RX servers are tried-and-tested data center technology that can cut data center infrastructure costs through greater transparency in structures and administration overhead and maximum leveraging of investments. Extensive remote management with the PRIMERGY ServerView Suite enables flexible, low-cost management anytime, anywhere. Cost-effective scaling, simplified operations, and enhanced IT operation are the primary advantages of a rack infrastructure. For investment protection in data centers, the modular PRIMERGY rack supports seamless integration of PRIMERGY servers, SAN, NAS storage subsystems and infrastructure components such as hubs and KVM switches. Our supply model and build-to-order process ensure that only completely configured and tested solutions are shipped, speeding up implementation. The energy efficiency of the server systems has been configured with a family design concept to meet high standards across all models of the PRIMERGY RX server portfolio. The major elements of the Cool-safe™ design concept include: - Honeycomb design for improved air intake - Cable-less design for uninterrupted airflow through the system - Highly-efficient PSUs with up to 92 percent efficiency - Large fans that run at lower speed for reduced noise levels and higher efficiency - Comprehensive server power management features - Airflow channels which direct the airflow directly to potential hotspots like CPUs or PSUs The family design concept also promotes the easy handling and maintenance of the PRIMERGY RX rack server systems with: - Touch points for usability and maintenance - Light path and customer self service elements to simplify maintenance and decrease maintenance cost

BEST PRACTICES There are a number of best practices that should be implemented in order to successfully configure an open cloud infrastructure. Although cloud computing promises significant ROI, keeping complexity and cost to a minimum, organizations need to strategically assess the existing network architecture and identify specific goals. The architectures described in this report can be used as introductory platforms, for testing or initial deployments, or as higher-efficiency architecture that features performance without complexity. In either case, these architectures can be deployed and connected to existing infrastructure so as not to create isolated environments. Many other solutions feature a â&#x20AC;&#x153;rip and replaceâ&#x20AC;? deployment procedure in which the standalone infrastructure which may or may not be able to connect to existing infrastructure. This method typically requires much greater commitment and upfront costs. Network infrastructures are simplified through the greater use of virtualization, which in turn reduces the amount of required hardware. Typically, new skills and management training are required for cloud infrastructures. Without preparation, cloud infrastructures, regardless of size, will face a multitude of problems which can actually increase OpEx thus negating the assumed CapEx savings. By implementing an initial deployment, end users are not only able to validate the architecture against their existing infrastructure, but provide time for their IT resources to learn the management of said infrastructure prior to larger scaled deployments. A Hypervisor agnostic approach to a cloud infrastructure deployment is also recommended. There are currently two primary vendors, VMWare and Microsoft, which comprise two thirds of the market to date. In the solutions tested in this paper, VMWare and Microsoft were used to confirm that the platform is compatible with both in a shared infrastructure. There are a number of other vendors that make up the remaining third and it should be assumed that any given infrastructure would likely require two or more vendor products to meet the business needs of the applications being deployed.
