Definition of Terms

• What is grid computing?
• A model for allowing the use of a large number of
  computing resources on demand.
• The ability to rapidly apply vast computing
  resources to a particular problem or application.
• What is virtualization?
• A model presenting computing resources in an
  adaptable,versatile way whereby users can easily
  get value out of them.
• A pool of many physical computing resources that
  appear as a single entity and is easily managed.
• Grid computing and Virtualization are made for
  one another.

Grid Computing Vision

• Computing as a utility
• A network of clients and services that can be
  requested
• Client-side Seamless
• Request computation or information and receive it
• Server-side Responsive
• High Availability, High Utilization
• Shared, flexible
• Virtualization
• Clients see a large virtual pool
• Underlying infrastructure transparent and flexible

4
What is the Problem?

• Complexity is the 1 problem in implementing Grid
  Computing in the datacenter
• Todays legacy systems are not designed for grid
  computing
• Integrating systems into the grid is the
  responsibility of the user
• Systems are not flexible by their nature
• Long provisioning cycle and therefore application
  time-to-market

CPU and Memory Innovation Has Driven Down Cost of
Distributed Computing

• Lintel/Wintel solved the price/performance issue
  of proprietary UNIX
• Commodity memory
• Commodity server chip sets

8
20 Years of Additions Increased Complexity and
Locked CPU/Memory to Specific Configurations
9
And Creates Massive Complexity
10
That Grows More Complex With Each Server
11
End Result Complexity Rigidly Locks
Applications and Configurations to CPU/Memory
Computing resource trapped on islands of capacity

Standard Blades Provide For Modularity, But Dont
Solve the Architectural Issue
Form Factor Reduction

How Do You Create an Infrastructure Grid, Then?

• Change the underlying fabric of the datacenter
  to create a grid
• Easily enable virtualization of datacenter to a
  grid
• Virtualization abstracts processor and memory
  resources from both applications and surrounding
  datacenter configurations
• Virtualization enables utility computing
