Abstract

Objective: To define template architecture for large virtualized environment automation ecosystem. Methods/Statistical Analysis: This study proposes self-sustaining, highly scalable automation architecture with multiple services components supporting each other’s to deliver a reliable and scalable service in self-contained virtualized environment. This new proposed template architecture has been evaluated by building Proof of concept built using few readily available tools and few property application developed for this project. Finally we evaluated the architecture with varying load of storage, SAN networking and Backup and recovery workflow tasks. Stability, sustainability and self-load balancing capabilities are measure over time, by injecting dynamic work task to this framework. Findings: Large virtualized environment gives unlimited access to compute and storage resource on demand. One of the key enabler for this functionality is the robust automation framework. Due to limited technical expertise and lack any open source standard shinder migration of any existing mid-size virtualized IT assets into fully automated eco-system. This study tries to address this challenge by proposing new template open-ended architecture. This takes care of any organizational scalability, security, and compliance and maintainability issues. Application/Improvements: The proposed architecture can be used for implementing highly automated virtualized ecosystem in large virtualized environment.
