SAN FRANCISCO a U.S. auto parts manufacturer called TS Tech, they are mainly for the United States to provide car parts. The main challenges facing business can not stop every 15 minutes shutdowns will have a huge impact on their business. So they need a stable infrastructure able to provide a good environment, to ensure the smooth and stable operation of its production line. In addition, their branches lack of IT support staff, so they need a more automated solution to help them solve these IT management issues.

Finally, TS Tech selected the Dell vStart deployment throughout the infrastructure, and then provide a disaster recovery configuration, to the implementation of ERP. Terms of hardware including Dell PowerEdge rack-mounted servers, Dell EqualLogic storage devices, Dell PowerConnect switches, UPS and Dell cabinet; software is different depending on the version the Dell VMware ESXi or Microsoft Hyper-V, Dell also provide customers with Dell virtualization The initial deployment of the service, to ensure the successful deployment of virtualization solutions. By the above-mentioned case, I believe the everyone will vStart a strong interest in, then let us in-depth look at vStart it. The experts participating in the discussion is the Dell virtualization and private cloud solutions to global product director of marketing for Benjamin Tao.

Dell cloud architecture can manage the hardware of different vendors

Compatibility, Benjamin Tao the said, vStart is an integrated program, Dell put inside the factory integration of hardware, software installed, so the benefits that can be quickly integrated overall program, and at the same time you can get support from one vendor, be maintained, this can not be achieved by many different manufacturers.

If your private cloud architectures with different vendors, Dell can provide you with the part of the Creator, and the underlying hardware does not matter, you can be independent. He is a pure software part, some of the hardware that can manage a variety of different vendors, of course, you can also put vStart as part of the resource pool inside.

VIS Creator is a separate part of the software, the hardware can support a variety of different manufacturers, including physical machines, virtual machines, and even of a cloud architecture, he can have a unified management structure, so he is suited in different hardware manufacturers can manage.

Private cloud operations management automation

Virtualization and cloud are two independent, it can be said is related, just beginning, more user focused on cost savings, reduce investment, cost savings architecture to do some infrastructure integration, those aspects. But slowly, bigger and bigger, and the entire management with operators will be big problems. The next question is how to solve the problem of these virtual schema extensions, and how to manage, how to go to the entire IT operations management can be automated, and can better manage these virtual resources.

Cloud computing, Dell IT departments to the private cloud slowly changing the mainly commercial demand. Now it is easy to apply a few minutes in some public cloud to a new virtual machine. Can be quickly deployed, IT or the reaction is so slow, so long before they can provide resources programs, and keep up with the development of the business. IT will be greater demand toward private cloud, some customers business needs, his commercial demand caused these changes.

Many people think that to do cloud computing needs to do is virtualization to the entire IT environment 100% virtualization, the next step is the cloud computing. In fact, the functionality provided by the Dell VIS architecture is not just for the virtualization environment, even if there are some applications, whether inside some physical system, some applications in some physical systems inside, some applications work pressure, do not virtualized environment must be suitable for some applications have their own characteristics, hardware-related functions, must ensure that the above physical machine, for example, his network demand, particularly large, may not be on the virtual architecture, we VIS can simultaneously manage two aspects, that is, the physical with the virtual machine, then this unified management, and private cloud, a cloud to be able to do so does not necessarily need 100% virtualization.

It is now in a good moment, Dell is able to provide the software, this platform can provide hardware, provide a good solution to the customer. See a different customer, he will be at a different stage, and slowly some are just beginning to do virtualization, some want to do an automated self-service, a private cloud direction.

Now, different customers have different needs at different stages, the Dell the VIS and vStart of programs, from just beginning to virtualization to the entire IT process transformation can provide a good program. Different types of customer service.
