I did not see anything about a suggestion of deduping data client-side.
This was all server side.  Or did I miss something?

Troy – if you used DeDupe you’d only need to send one email mate :) 

 

And yes,  when it stops being fun, we’ll all go home!

 

Looks like an interesting gig for the (other) Swede! But…

 

25Gb images X 442 = 11TB over the wire, even if, using Nomad P2P, some of
that is LAN not WAN traffic.

 

Oh, if only he had access to DeDupe (Free for the customer) and BranchCache
(also Free) he would probably be sending out 5-6GB instead of 25, and be
home now having a well-earned Pint :)

 

See you at MMS Mr Martin!

Andreas/Phil,

 

I had much respect for you guys when we worked together at 1E, and I still
do today.  You're both very intelligent and I applaud you're efforts in the
community.  None of this is personal, but you're sure making it fun!

 

BranchCache is good tech. However, let's see what the best use when doing
"real-world" OSD...

I would say - if you want to educate you have to tell the whole story. Why
on earth would you push 25GB of .iso to a branch (head office shouldn’t be
included I think)?

 

First off, skip the x86 builds, nobody does x86 these days? Or am I wrong?
Then, no need to download the wim’s and ISO’s? Or do you expect people to
burn their own DVD images in the branches?

 

So my list of media would look like the following, education and enterprise
x64 (Included x86 for reference here): (Skipping LTSB to keep Johan A happy
;-).

 

So let’s have a look what de-duplication would do to that:

 


File

DedupSize (deduped content)

Size of file

Saving (What to transfer)

Percentage


h:\en_windows_10_education_version_1511_x64\install.wim

3088088801

3330923026

242834225

92,71%


h:\en_windows_10_education_version_1511_x86\install.wim

2286524835

2440168556

153643721

93,70%


h:\en_windows_10_enterprise_version_1511_x64\install.wim

3088534192

3330734792

242200600

92,73%


h:\en_windows_10_enterprise_version_1511_x86\install.wim

2287174295

2440826179

153651884

93,70%

 

Note that those stats are from de-duped storage savings. So if you were to
transfer these files using BranchCache that would roughly reduce the size by
about 46%. (You still have to get the first data down there).

 

So instead of 6.6 GB for the x64 it would transfer 3+ and for the x86 4.4GB
it would transfer 2.2. Most people wouldn’t do enterprise and education
though, so typically you would only have your x64 master .wim to deploy and
not 25GB of unneeded crap.

Jason, I did test BranchCache in Hosted Cache mode (ages ago, and only
superficially) – and it worked with SCCM, so as Andreas said, it’s probably
more of a common sense/design constraint that led to MS not supporting that
config.

 

Incidentally, I went to a session at NICCONF by Riverbed – their new SD-WAN
stuff looks interesting, and I see that they bought another SD-WAN provider
- https://www.ocedo.com/en/  recently

 

As to the RiverBed publishing an SCP – don’t know but I have some PowerShell
that can do that for you if you need it…somewhere..

 

25Gb Troy? Phew that’s a lot of content..

 

Still, with a lot of common blocks in there, DeDuplication should reduce
that by about 75-90% - all the way to the client.

 

..But only if you use BranchCache

 

Cheers

 

Phil

Hey Jason,

 

One consideration for managing the realities of WAN optimization devices
(i.e. Riverbed) in place of DPs, is during OS migrations and trying to keep
the large OSD content “fresh” on the devices.  WAN/Riverbed devices often
come with “not enough” disk space when it comes to hosting OSD content and
other business content simultaneously i.e. Sharepoint, file-sharing, etc.
Upgrading to larger disks on the devices can be very costly.  In 2011, we
<http://www.1e.com/blogs/2011/11/22/nomad-enterprise-eliminates-the-need-for
-costly-wan-optimization-device-upgrades/> wrote a blog about it.

 

Back then, OSD content was indeed large.  But back then, one may have been
only managing a few images (.wim)…and that’s it.  With Windows 10 as you
know, all of that has changed and many are likely to be managing not only a
few images (and then a .wim for each supported architecture type) but also
the OS Upgrade Package (.iso) content for each Windows 10 edition supported
(and then a .iso for each supported OS architecture type).

 

?        OS Image Packages (.wim) for Wipe-n-Load and Refresh scenarios

?        OS Upgrade Packages (.iso) for In-Place Upgrade scenarios

 

Take a look at the slide below from
<http://www.1e.com/turbocharge-your-windows-10-migration-with-nomad-6-0/> a
webinar we did last year, as it explains what the potential is in supporting
the minimum total content size required to support Windows 10 OSD (i.e.
minimum total content size, based on the supported OS editions and
architecture types):

 

<image002.jpg>

 

Not many have the luxury of being guaranteed ~25GB of diskspace for OSD on
each WAN/WAAS/Riverbed device in the environment.  What would it cost a
business to upgrade all of the devices so that ~25GB could be
guaranteed…just for OSD?

 

You can see that solely relying on WAAS/Riverbed devices for Windows 10 OSD
purposes alone will be a very costly proposition to the business.

 

Not trying to sell anything in this reply, but merely attempting to help the
community where we can because “we’ve been there, done that” and want to
bring value by helping to avoid some of the pitfalls.  Hopefully, this helps
to build your case for the design being proposed.

 

Yes, our goal as a software company is to sell software.  But we also want
to help educate the community and industry that we are all so passionate
about, whenever we can.

 

This is what 1E is all about :)

I guess then Ed it depends upon your definition of "simple" is. 

 

If "simple" is having to deploy an additional agent to my entire client
estate instead of enabling a feature which is already built into the core OS
then I guess you've got me there.

 

If simple is having to update my product using a channel which is not the
base update channel in CM then yup, again you have me.

 

I grant you that BranchCache is nowhere near the sophistication that some
peer caching technologies have.

 

I'm not trying to convince anyone to buy anything Ed. My brief is to deploy
using out of the box technology where possible and that is what I am doing.
I have a fallback position that I am comfortable with.

Can’t argue cheaper… but simple and well proven, I’d just say that 30million
Nomad licenses over 1700 customers argues nicely for “well proven”.

 

…and I’m out.

Thanks John

 

This customer is deploying Riverbeds as we speak.

 

No, not in the slightest – I am not trying to run a DP on the appliance –
just want to be familiar with what it can offer when it sits between the
small number of DPs that we will be hosting in Azure and the clients which
will largely be running BranchCache.

 

Were I to have a branch office scenario where I needed a DP and I couldn’t
have a DP then I would aim to use a peer caching technology (which we are
doing for free) or buy one (in this case, it likely would be a different
product to Nomad) so I am planning on using simple, cheaper and well proven
technology :)

Jeeze… that post was 5 years ago! Nobody uses Riverbeds anymore. When I did
say that I liked Riverbeds it was only as a WAN accelerator not anything
more. It sounds like you are trying to run a DP on the appliance. If that’s
the case I’m unfamiliar with that use case, probably because as I
said…Nobody uses riverbeds anymore. :)

 

If I had a branch office scenario where I needed a DP and I couldn’t have a
DP I’d buy nomad and be done with it. That is simple, cheap and well proven
technology.

Subject: [mssms] Use of Riverbeds at remote offices

 

Hi there folks

 

I was wondering if someone would have some detail on using Riverbed
Steelheads with CM Agents please?

 

We are working on a CM design with DPs at a head office location hosting
BranchCache and clients at remote offices.  Between them we have a number of
SteelHeads and I am keen to find out more about how this scenario stands up.

 

The customer only supports Riverbedding HTTPS traffic so the assumption is
that we will be supplying the web server certs of the DPs so that they can
get at the data while in transit in order to cache it

 

As I have been BinGoogling I have found that Mr Marcum is a fan but Mr
Sandys is not 

 

https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/systemcenter/en-US/d9ced859-9fe9
-4210-9418-3b3f5e02be45/riverbed-scenario?forum=configmgrgeneral

 

I also note that RiOS 8.5 introduced support for BranchCache in hosted mode.
Now I know that CM does not support Hosted mode, running in distributed mode
but should the customer implement this does anyone know if the Riverbeds
then publish a service connection point?

 

Best Wishes


Jason
