It’s time for another Around the Storage Block Chalk Talk. I'm your host and chalk board writer
and IT Oddfather Calvin Zito. Today I’m going to introduce you to Data Services Cloud Console.
This is one in a series of Chalk Talks looking at our news on May 4th.
I have a playlist of the other videos on YouTube that you can see by clicking on the
“i" at the top right of the screen. I’m a big fan of making things easier
and data and infrastructure complexity have slowed down transformation. And this complexity is
slowing down access to data and data utilization, it’s tying up IT resources managing data
infrastructure, and it’s creating risk through a lack of data visibility across its lifecycle.
Introducing Data Services Cloud Console. It breaks down the barriers and removes the complexity of
data and infrastructure management - empowering organizations to transform faster with unified
data operations as a service. It’s a SaaS based cloud console that delivers a suite of cloud
services that enable cloud operational agility for infrastructure and simplified data management.
Data Services Cloud Console transforms storage and data management.
• Firstly it delivers cloud agility wherever you data lives with cloud operations.
• Next, streamline did operations with seamless experiences
edge to cloud with unified data management. • And deliver faster app development and
insights with self-service secure data access to accelerate innovation.
Data Services Cloud Console is a cloud-native architecture that manages data and infrastructure
through a SaaS based control plane. The abstraction above edge to cloud infrastructure
eliminates the complexity, fragmentation, and limited visibility and control of on-premises
software to drive optimized automation across entire fleets of infrastructure. A unified API
across edge to cloud data infrastructure enables infrastructure as code to automate the rapid
deployment of traditional and modern applications. Next I want to show you the data and
infrastructure services with Data Services Cloud Console, a single destination to
manage these services. Let's zoom in on these. • Data Services Cloud Console sets the foundation
for cloud data services which automates and orchestrates data across its lifecycle with
automated and policy driven cloud data services - from test/dev, to production and to analytics.
• Cloud infrastructure services simplify how you manage infrastructure at scale
across the lifecycle - from streamline device deployment to automated optimized
app deployment across your fleet to later in the year, cloud delivered invisible upgrades.
I've mentioned a common cloud platform a few times so let's talk about what that really means.
It's based on a proven technology foundation of Aruba Central.
• It's secure by design with multi-level security for access,
authentication, authorization, and communications. • It’s cloud native with a micro-services
architecture for rapid development, deployment, and scaling of new services.
• And it's proven with seven years of experience, more than 90,000 customers,
and 10 million devices under management. I want to spend the last part of this focusing
on how Data Services Cloud Console delivers cloud operations. Data Services Cloud Console
delivers this cloud everywhere experience by separating the infrastructure control plane
from the underlying hardware and moving it to the cloud. There are four qualities we’ll look at:
simplified deployment, intent-based provisioning, invisible upgrades, and manage from anywhere.
Let’s start with simplified deployment. • Data Services Cloud Console simplifies
and streamlines the deployment process that can be completed in minutes. New systems are
automatically discovered and configured. Simply cable up the system, turn it on and Data Services
Cloud Console is designed to do the rest. • Next is a paradigm shift with intent based
provisioning. It eliminates the guesswork and deploys apps on the right resource
across a global fleet. With intent based provisioning, an infrastructure admin only
has to specify the workload type, capacity and host groups that need access to that workload.
• Data Services Cloud Console lets you manage your fleet from anywhere.
Global unified management lets you manage and monitor geo distributed systems across
edge to cloud from a single web interface with an intuitive Saas-based user experience
• And finally, invisible upgrades – later this year you will be able to make invisible cloud
delivered software and firmware upgrades that are automated, non-disruptive, and policy driven.
Policies allow you to auto upgrade to the latest version or lock systems into a particular version.
To wrap up: move faster with software as a service with Data Services Cloud Console.
There is no software to deploy, manage, or maintain. You can constantly stay current on
the latest software features without any action or involvement required. And you can move from
an ownership model to an access model with the agility and convenience of flexible subscription.
