Info

Management Management technologies include Advanced Management Pod (AMP) and EMC Ionix Unified Infrastructure Manager/Provisioning (UIM/P) (optional). Advanced Management Pod Vbl ock Systems include an AMP that provides a single management point for the Vblock System. It enables the following benefits: • Monitors and manages Vblock System health, performance, and capacity • Provides fault isolation for management • Eliminates resource overhead on the Vblock System • Provides a clear demarcation point for remote operations Two versions of the AMP are available: a mini-AMP and a high-availability version (HA AMP). A highavailability AMP is recommended. For more information on AMP, refer to the Vbl ock Systems Architecture Overview documentation located at www.vce.com/vblock. EMC Ionix Unified Infrastructure Manager/Pr ovisioning EMC Ionix UIM/P can be used to provide automated provisioning capabilities for the Vblock System i n a trusted multi-tenancy environment by combining provisioning with configuration, change, and compliance management. With UIM/P, you can speed service delivery and reduce errors with policybased, automated converged infrastructure provisioning. Key features include the ability to: • Easily define and create infrastructure service profiles to match business requirements • Separate planning from execution to optimize senior IT technical staff • Respond to dynamic business needs with infrastructure service life cycle management • Maintain Vblock System compliance through policy-based management • Integrate with VMware vCenter and VMware vCloud Director for extended management capabilities © 2013 VCE Company, LLC.

Compute technologies Within the computing infrastructure of the Vblock System, multi-tenancy concerns at multiple levels must be addressed, including the UCS server infrastructure and the VMware vSphere Hypervisor. Cisco Unified Computing System The Cisco UCS is a next-generation data center platform that unites network, compute, storage, and virtualization into a cohesive system designed to reduce total cost of ownership and increase business agility. The system integrates a low-latency, lossless, 10 Gb Ethernet (GbE) unified network fabric with enterprise class x86 architecture servers. The system is an integrated, scalable, multi-chassis platform in which all resources participate in a unified management domain. Whether it has only one server or many servers with thousands of virtual machines (VM), the Cisco UCS is managed as a single system, thereby decoupling scale from complexity. Cisco UCS Manager provides unified, centralized, embedded management of all software and hardware components of the Cisco UCS across multiple chassis and thousands of virtual machines. The entire UCS is managed as a single logical entity through an intuitive graphical user interface (GUI), a command-line interface (CLI), or an XML API. UCS Manager delivers greater agility and scale for server operations while reducing complexity and risk. It provides flexible role- and policybased management using service profiles and templates, and it facilitates processes based on IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL) concepts. VMw are vSphere VMware vSphere is a complete, scalable, and powerful virtualization platform, delivering the infrastructure and application services that organizations need to transform their information technology and deliver IT as a service. VMware vSphere is a host operating system that runs directly on the Cisco UCS infrastructure and fully virtualizes the underlying hardware, allowing multiple virtual machine guest operating systems to share the UCS physical resources. VMw are vCenter Server VMware vCenter Server is a simple and efficient way to manage VMware vSphere. It provides unified management of all the hosts and virtual machines in your data center from a single console with aggregate performance monitoring of clusters, hosts and virtual machines. VMware vCenter Server gives administrators deep insight into the status and configuration of clusters, hosts, virtual machines, storage, the guest operating system, and other critical components of a virtual infrastructure. It plays a key role in helping achieve secure separation, availability, tenant management and control, and service provider management and control. VMw are vCloud Director VMware vCloud Director gives customers the ability to build secure private clouds that dramatically increase data center efficiency and business agility. With VMware vSphere, VMware vCloud Director delivers cloud computing for existing data centers by pooling virtual infrastructure resources and delivering them to users as catalog-based services. © 2013 VCE Company, LLC.
