geodesy.noaa.gov NGS Data Center Relocation David Gietka June 11, 2019
Current Infrastructure 308 Windows devices (194 laptops, 97 desktops, 7 servers). 132 Unix servers (Redhat 6,7 Ubuntu 16.04) 21 Network devices 1.2 Peta bytes of Netapp Storage, 54 TB of EMC Isilon 38 Printers Storms Processing in Microsoft Azure Cloud. Current Racks: 12 (3 netapp, 9 server) Hope to reduce 7 or 8 total depending on PDUs Host distribution to move (from NGS Inventory) TCN2: ~13 systems (47 total physical virtual) TCN1: ~16 systems (73 total physical virtual) OCN (PSN): 4 systems (6 total physical virtual) 2
NGS Data Center Relocation Basic Plan Inventory Acquisition ( Power, Space, Network) Design (new racks,power,networking) Consolidation (decommission what we can) Stage (Move to new racks and PDUs) Sub-network (carve out subnets for 1st move) Move First Phase to Ashburn and test cabling procedures, connectivity Move final phases Final testing and acceptance 3
TimeLine June 2019 Data Acquisition NGS: Touch inv, power spreadsheet NOS/NOAA: PDU specs, network inv solarwind, network specs 10GB switches/ports July 2019 Design NGS: Develop Rack and Network Diagrams August 2019 Staging NGS: Move systems to new racks NOS/NWAVE: create new VLANS/ACLs 4
TimeLine: 2 September 2019 Subnetting NGS: Move system IPs to new VLANs NGS: Test connectivity and performance July - October 2019 COOP planning/testing NOS/NOAA - setup connectivity TCN2, TCN1,OCN to cloud platforms (AWS, Azure) NGS - develop and test COOP cloud plan November 2019 Move 1st phase NGS: Procure mover Review onsite procedures (cabling, testing) Develop detailed use case tests 5
TimeLine: 3 January 2020 NOS/NOAA - Networking, Enterprise services (arcsight, AD, nessus) NGS: First phase and test ; test cloud COOP February 2020 NOS/NOAA - move T1 USCG/FAA circuits NGS: If successful move Geodesy processing and OCN March 2020 NGS: Move RSD - Imagery processing Final testing and acceptance 6
Risks Facilities Rack/power space for growth ; cabling to NOS Networking (dependent on NWAVE/NOS) Bandwidth, latency is sufficient for mission Enterprise services (dependent on NOS) availablility, capacity Equipment Failure During Move After move (no onsite presence) After move - Backups?? 7
Risk Mitigation Facilities Move racks with extra power / space growth Test network cabling SOPs in first phase Networking (dependent on NWAVE/NOS) Test Cloud as fall back strategy (may involve more cost, time for NWAVE to build out) Enterprise services (dependent on NOS) Review/Update SLAs if needed Test / Risk Acceptance if needed Equipment Failure Architect Cloud / COOP Capability 8
Acquisition Getting Power requirements Dell Enterprise Infrastructure Planning Tool (EIPT) http://dell-ui-eipt.azurewebsites.net/?relogin#/ Other options? iDrac? Google?? Datacenter Touch inventory (rack space) Networking Solarwinds NWAVE NOC config dump NGS Inventory file 9
Design Objectives Get PDU options (only 30 AMP PDUs may result in more racks) Move Netapp racks AS IS Use data from Acquisition to create rack plan 10
Staging Objectives Move equipment to new racks and PDUs Connect to datacenter UPS for burn in/testing 11
Sub-networking Objectives Procure 24 port switch for first phase move (support multiple VLANs, TCN1, TCN2,OCN) Re-IP servers to move into separate IP ranges Work with NOS/NWAVE to create VLANs, Routes, ACLs for new vlans Test Connectivity and Performance Move First phase systems and VLANs to Ashburn 12
Move First Phase Objectives Move sample set of systems to test performance and workload Web server Windows domain controller Small storage (jetstor) OPUS Engine CORS/orbits processing test RSD image processing Test connectivity to AWS COOP 13
Testing Objectives Use Cases Accessing NFS /CIFS storage Connectivity to database (COOP / Primary) Web server latency /response CORS/OPUS/Orbits ingestion/processing RSD rack mounted PC Image processing Domain Controllers/Printing Enterprise: Arcsight, Nessus, Fireeye, SCCM 14
