Cloud Infrastructure

Cloud Infrastructure
 Cloud infrastructure is a collection of the components and
elements required to support cloud computing model. This
includes hardware and software components such as:
 Computing power
 Servers
 Virtualization software
 Network devices
 Storage resources
 Interfaces that enables users to access virtualized resources.
Cloud Infrastructure
 Any organization that purchases a cloud computing
solution does so by leasing access to cloud infrastructure.
How Does Cloud Infrastructure Work?
 How Does Cloud Infrastructure Work?
 Cloud platform and infrastructure works through an
abstraction process, such as virtualization, to separate
resources from the physical hardware they are typically
installed on into the cloud.
 These virtual resources are provisioned into cloud
environments using tools like automation and management
software, enabling users to access the resources they need,
when they need them.
Components of Cloud Infrastructure
 Hardware
 Any cloud infrastructure requires physical hardware,
which can be located at various geographical locations.
This hardware includes backup devices, firewalls, load
balancers, networking equipment, routers, and storage
arrays.
 A key piece of hardware is servers.
 In the case of private cloud, organizations can use
dedicated servers that are responsible for storing
information.
 Public cloud, on the other hand, uses a multi-tenant
model, which enables a server to provide services for
multiple customers.
Components of Cloud Infrastructure
 Virtualization
 Virtualization is critical to cloud infrastructure as it abstracts
data storage and computing power from the hardware.
 This allows users to interact with a cloud infrastructure from
their hardware by using a graphical user interface (GUI).
 Virtualization often occurs on data storage and computing
resources, which makes it easier for users to access them.
 Storage
 Cloud storage enables organizations to store their data in
cloud-based file servers rather than their own data centers.
 Data that organizations store in the cloud can be accessed
through the internet or cloud-based applications.
Components of Cloud Infrastructure
 Network
 Networking enables the users to access cloud
resources.
 Cloud networks are typically made up of various
subnetworks and can be used to create virtual local-
area networks (VLANs).
Cloud Infrastructure vs. Cloud Architecture
 Cloud infrastructure involves the tools that are used to build
a cloud environment, while cloud architecture is the
concept or blueprint behind how it will be built.
 Cloud architecture outlines how the various technologies for
creating a cloud computing environment will be
connected. This includes the combination of components
that comprise a cloud environment, including hardware,
networks, operating systems, virtual resources, automation
software, management tools, and container technologies
Cloud Infrastructure Challenges
 Latency
 One solution is to change the location of your app.
 You can connect directly to the cloud provider. ???

What is Data Center in Cloud Computing?
 A data center - is a facility made up of networked
computers, storage systems, and computing
infrastructure that businesses and other organizations use
to organize, process, store large amounts of data.
 A business typically relies heavily on applications,
services, and data within a data center, making it a
focal point and critical asset for everyday operations.
What is Data Center in Cloud Computing?

 Cloud computing vendors offer similar features to


enterprise data centers.
 The biggest difference between a cloud data center
and a typical enterprise data center is scale.
 Cloud data centers serve many different organizations,
they can become very large.
 Cloud computing vendors offer these services through
their data centers.
How do Data Centers work?

 A data center facility enables an organization to


assemble its resources and infrastructure for data
processing, storage, and communication, including:
 Systems for storing, sharing, accessing, and processing
data across the organization;
 Physical infrastructure to support data processing and
data communication; And
 Utilities such as cooling, electricity, network access, and
uninterruptible power supplies (UPS).
Main components of Data Centers
 Elements of a data center are generally divided into
three categories:
 Calculation
 Enterprise data storage
 Networking
Main components of Data Centers
 Physical infrastructure, which includes:
 Server
 storage subsystems
 networking switches, routers, and firewalls
 Cabling
 Physical racks for organizing and interconnecting IT
equipment
Main components of Data Centers
 Support infrastructure
 Power subsystems
 Uninterruptible power supplies (UPS)
 Backup generators
 Ventilation and cooling equipment
 Fire suppression systems
 Building security systems
 Adequate provision for network carrier (telecom) connectivity
 These data center components support the main equipment
so that you can use the data center facilities without
interruption.
What are the standards in data center
design?
 As data centers increased in size and complexity and began to store
sensitive and critical information, governments and other organizations
imposed regulations on them.
 The Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) established
standards that cover all aspects of data center design, including:
 Architecture and topology
 Environmental design
 Power and cooling systems and distribution
 Cabling systems, pathways, and redundancy
 Safety and physical security
 Similarly, the Uptime Institute established four tiers to compare site
performance objectively and align infrastructure investments to
business goals.
Datacenter Infrastructure Management
and Monitoring
 Energy Consumption and Efficiency
 Datacenter designs also recognize the importance of
energy efficiency.
 A simple data center may require only a few kilowatts of
energy, but enterprise data centers may require more than
100 megawatts.
 Today, green data centers with minimal environmental
impact through low-emission building materials, catalytic
converters, and alternative energy technologies are
growing in popularity.
Power usage effectiveness (PUE)
 power usage effectiveness (PUE)
 Is a ratio that describes how efficiently a computer data
center uses energy.
 specifically, how much energy is used by the computing
equipment (in contrast to cooling and other overhead
that supports the equipment).
 PUE is the ratio of the total amount of energy used by a
computer data center facility to the energy delivered to
computing equipment.
 PUE is the inverse of data center infrastructure efficiency
Power usage effectiveness (PUE)

 Total facility energy encompasses the power dedicated


to the data center facility or data room, measured at
the meter. This includes all loads, including IT equipment,
cooling systems, lighting systems, and power delivery
components.
 Total IT equipment encompasses all energy fed to
compute, storage, and networking equipment,
including other control equipment like switches,
workstations, monitors, and laptops.
Power usage effectiveness (PUE)
Power usage effectiveness (PUE)
An ideal PUE is 1.0. Anything that isn't considered a computing
device in a data center (e.g. lighting, cooling, etc.) falls into
the category of facility energy consumption.
Power usage effectiveness (PUE)
Power usage effectiveness (PUE)
 One real problem is PUE does not account for the
climate within the cities the data centers are built.
 In particular, it does not account for different normal
temperatures outside the data center.
