Aufgabenbeschreibung:We are looking for a consultant with experience in setting up physical PODs (pPOD) at scale on large datacenters, aiming to standardize the infrastructure deployment used to deliver IaaS.
As deliverables from this engagement we are expecting:
We need to understand/validate what is the criteria to consider when building large physical POD (pPODs) to support an Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) platform.
We need to understand and have documented the main elements that enable/limit massive scalability potential.
We expect a pPOD high level design document, CONCRETE and suitable for directly going into the detailed level engineering, based on our hardware standards.
The outcome of the engagement should be a sound recommendation about how to configure and exploit relatively large blocks of self-standing physical infrastructure to base our internal IaaS offer.
We are considering physical Pod of around 15 to 20 racks to handle the compute network storage management tooling and monitoring requirements. We would favor a SAN-less design.
Those pods need to be defined in detail so we can deploying multiple instances of them, mechanically and without major adjustments to deliver them.
Infrastructure relationships (physical and logical) among the components of the pPODs as well as relationships (physical and logical) among pPODs should be provided.
Especially interesting is the recommendation about how to connect the pPODs among themselves and how the different data types is expected to be laid across them.
The physical installation should be possible using standard main-stream HW from our strategic HW infrastructure providers.
We need to have clearly understood how is the scalability designed and what are the effects of different components malfunctioning or being unavailable.
