(6380,24,'2012-03-31 14:54:50','2012-03-31 14:54:50','When you go to set up a server in the data center it usually requires planning and coordination between independent teams such as the network, server, storage, and application teams.   Depending on the size of the company and how the internal organization is set up this can become a huge hassle and take weeks to accomplish the simplest items.  Also, when you go to move a server to a different location, usually this means changing its IP address.  And as we all know changing an IP address on a server is usually not simple or fun (Huge understatement).  It can affect applications that point to it, you might need to change rules on a firewall, etc.  Cisco FabricPath gives you the foundation for building highly scalable datacenter network and moving server locations with none of these issues.  It does this by making the network look like a single virtual switch when looking from the outside in.\n\nSo how does it do this?  When a server or an end user sends an Ethernet frame, FabricPath takes the frame and encapsulates with a FabircPath header which consists of the source and destination addresses.  The source address being the address of the switch which received the frame, and the destination address being the switch to which the frame is going to.  When the frame arrives at the destination switch it is de-encapsulated and delivered to the destination host.  Here is a graphic from Cisco that shows the process.\n\n&nbsp;\n\n&nbsp;\n\nSo what are the benefits to implementing FabricPath?  Well besides being just awesome and fun to implement, Cisco has given us the following:\n\n– Cisco FabricPath is extremely simple to configure. In fact, the only necessary configuration consists of distinguishing the core ports, which link the switches, from the edge ports, where end devices are attached. There is no need to tune any parameter to get an optimal configuration, and switch addresses are assigned automatically.\n\n– A single control protocol is used for unicast forwarding, multicast forwarding, and VLAN pruning. The Cisco FabricPath solution requires less combined configuration than an equivalent Spanning Tree Protocol-based network, further reducing the overall management cost.\n\n– Static network designs make some assumptions about traffic patterns and the locations of servers and services. If those assumptions are incorrect, a situation that often happens after a while, complex redesign may be necessary. A network based on Cisco FabricPath can be modified as needed in a nondisruptive manner for the end stations.\n\n– The capabilities of Cisco FabricPath troubleshooting tools surpass those of the tools currently available in the IP world. The ping and traceroute features now offered at Layer 2 can measure latency and test a particular path among the multiple equal-cost paths to a destination within the fabric.\n\n– A device that does not support Cisco FabricPath can be attached redundantly to two separate Cisco FabricPath bridges with enhanced virtual PortChannel (vPC+) technology, providing an easy migration path.\n\n&nbsp;\n\nThese are huge benefits.  You don’t have to tune the parameters, you can modify the FabricPath configuration with no downtime, and the modified ping command.  As a network admin these are all things we have wished we have had for many years now.\n\n&nbsp;\n\nSo when would you use FabricPath?  Pretty much in any datacenter design that you wanted to build that is easy to configure, highly scalable, and easy to manage.  Data centers today are typically built in small layer 2 blocks.  In a Cisco NX-OS environment today all switching is usually handled by vPC.   While this removes spanning-tree seems sufficient here are some reasons from Cisco and why FabricPath is so much better.\n\n• Cisco FabricPath is simple to configure and to manage. There is no need to identify a pair of peers or configure PortChannels. All the devices in the fabric have the same role and same minimal configuration.\n\n• Cisco FabricPath is flexible and does not require a particular topology. Even if the network is currently cabled for the classic triangle vPC topology, Cisco FabricPath can accommodate any design that might be needed in the future.\n\n• Cisco FabricPath does not use or even extend Spanning Tree Protocol. Even a partial introduction of Cisco FabricPath has a beneficial effect on the network because it segments the span of Spanning Tree Protocol. Because it is an optimization of Classical Ethernet, vPC still requires Spanning Tree Protocol on top of it to address certain scenarios.\n\n• Cisco FabricPath can be extended easily without degrading operations. Adding a switch or a link in a Cisco FabricPath fabric does not result in a single frame loss. It is thus possible to start with a small network and extend it gradually, as needed.\n\nHere is a graphic from Cisco showing the two different datacenters.\n\n&nbsp;\n\nI hope this has given an overview on FabricPath and the benefits to using it.  Check back soon for my next port on FabricPath.  FabricPath part 2:  How to implement FabricPath.','FabricPath Part 1:  What is FabricPath and why use it?','','inherit','open','open','','6377-revision','','','2012-03-31 14:54:50','2012-03-31 14:54:50','',6377,'http://egroup.jasonmangone.com/6377-revision',0,'revision','',0),(6381,24,'2012-03-31 14:57:59','2012-03-31 14:57:59','When you go to set up a server in the data center it usually requires planning and coordination between independent teams such as the network, server, storage, and application teams.   Depending on the size of the company and how the internal organization is set up this can become a huge hassle and take weeks to accomplish the simplest items.  Also, when you go to move a server to a different location, usually this means changing its IP address.  And as we all know changing an IP address on a server is usually not simple or fun (Huge understatement).  It can affect applications that point to it, you might need to change rules on a firewall, etc.  Cisco FabricPath gives you the foundation for building highly scalable datacenter network and moving server locations with none of these issues.  It does this by making the network look like a single virtual switch when looking from the outside in.\n\nSo how does it do this?  When a server or an end user sends an Ethernet frame, FabricPath takes the frame and encapsulates with a FabircPath header which consists of the source and destination addresses.  The source address being the address of the switch which received the frame, and the destination address being the switch to which the frame is going to.  When the frame arrives at the destination switch it is de-encapsulated and delivered to the destination host.  Here is a graphic from Cisco that shows the process.\n\n<a href=\"http://egroup.jasonmangone.com/?attachment_id=6379\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6379\"><img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-6379\" src=\"http://egroup.jasonmangone.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/white_paper_c11-605488-1-300x117.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"117\" /></a>\n\n&nbsp;\n\nSo what are the benefits to implementing FabricPath?  Well besides being just awesome and fun to implement, Cisco has given us the following:\n\n– Cisco FabricPath is extremely simple to configure.

Even a partial introduction of Cisco FabricPath has a beneficial effect on the network because it segments the span of Spanning Tree Protocol.

In fact, the only necessary configuration consists of distinguishing the core ports, which link the switches, from the edge ports, where end devices are attached. There is no need to tune any parameter to get an optimal configuration, and switch addresses are assigned automatically.\r\n\r\n– A single control protocol is used for unicast forwarding, multicast forwarding, and VLAN pruning. The Cisco FabricPath solution requires less combined configuration than an equivalent Spanning Tree Protocol-based network, further reducing the overall management cost.\r\n\r\n– Static network designs make some assumptions about traffic patterns and the locations of servers and services. If those assumptions are incorrect, a situation that often happens after a while, complex redesign may be necessary. A network based on Cisco FabricPath can be modified as needed in a nondisruptive manner for the end stations.\r\n\r\n– The capabilities of Cisco FabricPath troubleshooting tools surpass those of the tools currently available in the IP world. The ping and traceroute features now offered at Layer 2 can measure latency and test a particular path among the multiple equal-cost paths to a destination within the fabric.\r\n\r\n– A device that does not support Cisco FabricPath can be attached redundantly to two separate Cisco FabricPath bridges with enhanced virtual PortChannel (vPC+) technology, providing an easy migration path.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThese are huge benefits.  You don’t have to tune the parameters, you can modify the FabricPath configuration with no downtime, and the modified ping command.  As a network admin these are all things we have wished we have had for many years now.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nSo when would you use FabricPath?  Pretty much in any datacenter design that you wanted to build that is easy to configure, highly scalable, and easy to manage.  Data centers today are typically built in small layer 2 blocks.  In a Cisco NX-OS environment today all switching is usually handled by vPC.   While this removes spanning-tree seems sufficient here are some reasons from Cisco and why FabricPath is so much better.\r\n\r\n• Cisco FabricPath is simple to configure and to manage.

As companies are looking to expand their capabilities and boost productivity, it is falling on those in IT to provide the end users these abilities.  From migrating to Windows 7 (Soon to be Windows8), desktop management, data protection, business continuance, device proliferation such as tablets and smart phones, anywhere access, voice and video, to rapidly deploying applications and devices.  IT has to manage all these things while maintaining a good user experience, security, and keeping costs under control.  Not an easy task for anyone.\r\n<!--more-->\r\nToday Users, Contractors, and Partners all need to access their data and desktops while being anywhere in the world while on any device.  This is where Cisco VXI comes in.  Cisco VXI stands for Cisco Virtualization Experience Infrastructure.  In a nutshell it is about virtualizing desktops, voice, and video in an integrative system.  From a virtual data center, to a dynamic network, and ending in a collaborative workspace for the end users.  VXI uses open standards and works with different venders to provide a seamless virtual experience to end users.\r\n\r\nIn the data center, Cisco VXI has you host your VM’s on Cisco UCS.  Using WAAS, Nexus devices, and ACE allows IT to set flexible policies between backend applications.  This setup allows the VMS to take advantage of its stateless computing model which delivers the industry’s highest ratio of VM’s per blade.  For data center management using this design allows you to use less cabling, less power, and overall less management allowing for a much lower TCO.  Using this model also allows much greater security than the current model of allowing users to keep local copies or open sensitive documents on their devices.  Using the VXI model, IT can set policies to ensure that one comprised virtual desktop does not affect other VM’s in that workgroup.  It also allows you to much great granularity in setting policies for different segments of your company.\r\n\r\nIn your network protocols such as ICA and PCoIP have been designed to work over your existing network infrastructure.  However they may not work as well in networks with high latency or having to share limited bandwidth.  By using WAAS (Wide Area Application Services) or PfR (Performance Routing) VXI improves application response time and optimizes bandwidth consumed by concurrent users.  VXI also allows you to implement context aware policy enforcement at the desktop level.  This allows for anytime anywhere access to data and desktops all while reducing bandwidth used.    \r\n\r\nTo take advantage of the anytime anywhere access, Cisco Virtual Experience Clients, VXC, allow users to use a virtual desktop for data access, phones, and video.  The VXC devices include thin clients, zero clients, tablets, and software applications on existing PC’s.  What this allows for is a user can open up their virtual desktop on their thin client, transfer it to a CIUS tablet, and walk over to another building for a meeting.  They do not have to close any applications or calls they were on.  This keeps the user from having to interrupt what they were doing.  It allows for a seamless transition between devices for ultimate mobility.  \r\nCisco VXI is a combination of devices and protocols that work together to simplify management, increase security, decrease bandwidth and power consumption, all while giving the end user a superior experience and granting them anytime anywhere access to data, phone, and video.

For those of you new to the Isilon wheelhouse, the X-Series nodes are your mid-tier nodes, granting the flexibility most companies need between performance and capacity.  They are highly versatile and perfect for high throughput and high concurrency applications. On the flip side the NL-Series nodes are extremely high capacity and super cost effective better serving as an archival target or even as a DR target for replication. So what’s special about the new nodes, follow me after the bump and find out.<!--more-->\r\n\r\nNow the newest and most powerful of member of the Isilon X-Series product line, the Isilon X400 provides the perfect combination of performance and storage capacity available for a scale-out NAS storage solution from EMC. The new node is now a 3U box, a deviation from the X200 which is 2U, and has the capabilities to support a cluster of 144 nodes scaling out to a total of 15.5 PB of data. How is that for big data?! That being said one of the newest benefits of these nodes is its massive scalability in a single cluster. Isilon continues its trend with unmatched efficiency on both the NL and X-Series nodes guaranteeing 80 percent or better storage utilization even at its highest scale, not to mention giving you the ability to have up to 27 TB, yes terabytes, of globally coherent cache. This added to the ease of management coming from the OneFS environment makes this thing a powerhouse.  The X400 is perfect for all types of workloads ranging from VMware, storing PACS imaging data in healthcare, digital media, to even handling business analytics such as heavy Hadoop workflows.\r\n\r\nSwitching gears the NL400 nodes combine Big Data storage capacity with a highly economical price per terabyte of capacity and the lowest overall TCO of any scale-out storage solution available. The NL-Series is perfect for Nearline Archiving, Disaster Recovery, or as a disk-to-disk backup solution. These nodes offer very strong performance at a value price, offering a variety of options of 36, 72, or 108TB per node, yes you read that right, that’s PER NODE and under the hood we have the CPU’s to handle your advanced operation needs. Isilon also offers the 80 percent guarantee on these nodes as well.\r\n\r\nWith these new nodes being added to Isilon’s wheelhouse, EMC is proving that it is looking to continue to look to the future of Big Data with its Scale-Out architecture, offering the ability to add storage and performance as you grow. The newest hardware coupled with the impending release of Mavericks (OneFS 7.0) shows Isilon is continuing to come out guns blazing against its competition','Isilon Releases All New X400 and NL400

AppFactory appliance over the last several weeks and walked away impressed.  The latest tool in Application Virtualization slated to be released in the coming months is a game changer for the Application Virtualization and Delivery arena.  eGroup kicked off the #CVMUG12 Hands On labs with standing room only in the back of the room for the hands on AppFactory packaging session and technical walk through.  Myself (@JasonBWebster) alongside Ian Jones (eGroup Senior Application Services Engineer) and Dean \"Keeper of the Dark Arts\" Flaming (VMware ThinApp GURU) the crowd was not disappointed, approximately 45 ThinApps captured built and deployed to VMware View 5.1 desktops in about 15 minutes.\r\n\r\nBy introducing concepts such as Workflow, WorkPools, Feeds, Shares, Recipes and the ThinApp Store VMware has managed to simplify the application virtualization process by providing more consistency in the ThinApp base image, repeatable and automated tasks with workflows and recipes, and streamlined end user consumption with the ThinApp Store and Horizon App Manager integration.  In short, the application virtualization community not only has a way to share the best practices way of packaging and app via recipes, they can serve it right into your ThinApp factory appliance (installer and all) via a AppFactory feed.\r\n\r\nLets hit the high points:\r\n\r\n<strong>Workflow:</strong>  ThinApp AppFactory introduces the concept of workflow into the packaging process.  By breaking down the tasks of pristine image/machine creation, precapture, install, postcapture, prebuild, build and deploy.  The user has the ability to create a repeatable process and scale it to multiple instances.\r\n\r\n<strong>WorkPools:</strong>  ThinApp AppFactory introduces the WorkPool concept to Application Virtualization.  Notice the word \"Pool\", this is similar to desktop pools in VMware View although now we are talking about the packaging virtual machine or machines.  A WorkPool can be created in the AppFactory appliance web admin by one of two methods.\r\n\r\nMethod 1:  Selecting and existing VM and snapshot to create the base image from.  Method 2:  Selecting an Windows Operating System ISO from a datastore.\r\n\r\nMethod 2:  My favorite, immediately upon selecting the ISO and providing AppFactory with a VL or MAK/KMS license key the appliance goes to work creating a pristine virtual machine for the capture environment.\r\n\r\nAlso in the WorkPool settings, you can specify the maximum number of packaging instances to create at any single time.  These packaging instances are Linked Clones off the base image and provision on demand.  Once provisioned, they stay in a powered off state awaiting queued ThinApp packaging jobs.\r\n\r\n<strong>Recipes:  </strong>ThinApp AppFactory Recipes are flat files that allow the packager to insert scripted and manual steps into the various phases of the packaging process.  For custom in-house applications, this allows application teams to specify all the dependencies, locations and any other application specific requirements for a given application.  Recipes will promote consistency and reliability of ThinApp Applications from environment to environment.  Application Packagers will no longer have to wade through all the community and blog posts on \"How to Virtualize X Application on Windows 7\" and follow it step by step.  They can simply grab the recipe, plug it into the application by selecting it at capture time and the resulting ThinApp is produced on the other side.\r\n\r\n<strong>Feeds:  </strong>ThinApp AppFactory feeds are JSON formatted web based locations in which the content of the feed specifies the available applications, icons, installation commands, AppFactory Recipes, etc... for packaging an application.  The result, the packager can subscribe to a feed and all the applications they serve are readily available in your environment for packaging.  Just select the application and hit capture.  ThinApp AppFactory will read the feed and download the appropriate installer to the capture machine, package it based on the feed commands and any associated AppFactory recipes.  Feeds will allow application publishers to provide real time updates and streamline the deployment process directly to their customers.  Application consumers can perform assured migrations by having multiple versions of a ThinApp Application.  Custom feeds can be created to integrate with existing application management solutions.\r\n\r\n<strong>File Shares:</strong>  Similar to ThinApp AppFactory feeds, File Shares allow the application administrator to specify a UNC path to in-house application installers.  ThinApp AppFactory will then  traverse the folders in the share and make any application installers available for packaging in the package WorkFlow.\r\n\r\n<strong>ThinApp Store:  </strong>The ThinApp Store allows you to house and deliver applications in a user self-service model.  You can publish ThinApp applications packaged with AppFactory to the ThinApp Store and users can visit the store in their browser, select the applications they want and deploy them to their desktop seamlessly.  The ThinApp Store doesn\'t offer any form of user/group administration or filtering, for that level of application control, Horizon Application Manager can provide all those functions and more.\r\n\r\nAll of these features tie in with a intuitive web interface that allows for the user to visualize the packaging process from installer to desktop and interact at depth at each level.\r\n\r\nStay tuned... in part 2 we will be doing a video post that will walk you through exactly how to package applications in the ThinApp AppFactory Appliance.\r\n\r\nJoin us for our ThinApp AppFactory and Horizon Application Manager webinars on 6/8 and 6/18.  Email Jason.Webster@eGroup-us.com for details.','eGroup provides first look at VMware
