Presented on May 28th, 2015 at TechDays Netherlands in The Hague: The rise of virtualization and new applications has created pressure on IT departments to develop, deliver and maintain an application & storage infrastructure that is not only high performing, but also simple to manage, VM-centric and highly scalable. In this technical session, we'll discuss how to create the ideal infrastructure for Hyper-V and virtualized Windows applications, that is always available and literally invisible to the application teams. We will also explore a real world Windows Azure Pack deployment of the European Service Provider Synergics during this technical session. One of the Synergics’ architects will explain and demonstrate how they deployed a scalable, easy-to-manage cloud based on Windows Azure Pack.

- 29. Azure Pack How we did it
- 30. Design decisions • Dedicated vs. Shared hardware • Network Isolation • Software Defined Networking (NVGRE) • Fabric VM infrastructure • High availability, scaling & security • Nutanix specifics
- 32. Dedicated vs Shared Hardware Grow into POD design
- 35. Fabric infrastructure Using SQL Server for • Virtual Machine Manager • Windows Azure Pack • System Center Operations Manager Use SQL Server AlwaysOn availability groups Take care with back in time recovery https://technet.microsoft.com/library/dn832926.aspx High available databases
- 36. Fabric infrastructure • Split public vs. privileged services • Security !! • No Express deployments • Proof of Concepts only The basics
- 37. Fabric infrastructure Go distributed & Go scalable
- 38. Fabric infrastructure Authentication & Optional providers
- 39. Nutanix specific • Enable Jumbo Frames • Only connect 10 GbE interfaces • Have 1 domain controller away from Nutanix • Domain join Nutanix nodes using the script • setup_hyperv.py setup_hosts • Use SQL Server AlwaysOn for the database backend • Add Hyper-V hosts and storage to SCVMM using the script • setup_hyperv.py setup_scvmm

- 41. Conclusion
- 42. Key takeaways • Automation, Integration, Convergence Agility • DevOps / Public Cloud couldn’t happen without it • Requires APIs and simple interfaces -> PowerShell & REST • Web-Scale = Easy • Nutanix + Windows Azure Pack can make it easy • Full Reference Architecture available • We are here to help you • Nutanix brings Web-Scale convergence • Windows Azure Pack provides a Private Cloud foundation • Synergics shares experience and delivers services
