Legacy Systems Approach •  Vendors “simplify” by •  adding software layers •  providing professional services

•  Result is a complex stack of management software to support servers & high costs •  Difficult to scale •  Difficult to change

•  Legacy mentality = •  High OpEx •  High CapEx

Unified Computing •  Self Integrating

Faster deployment, higher reliability, higher productivity, fewer errors

•  Embedded Management Simplified setup, increased control, lower costs

•  Hardware state abstraction – Service Profiles Higher productivity, lower labor costs, fewer errors (no configuration drift)

•  Unified Fabric Increase workload agility, lower costs, lower power, higher reliability, simplified setup, higher asset utilization, higher application performance

•  Virtualized Adapters

Higher workload agility, better VM performance, More workloads virtualized, lower cost per VM

•  Extended Memory Lower cost per VM, higher database consolidation, better performance 11 Presentation_ID

A New Architectural Approach Is Needed

Tomorrow’s Data Center Can’t Be Built On Yesterday’s Technology

•  Virtualization is changing the focus •  Applications no longer tied to server hardware •  Applications are now objects moving through the network

•  The data center needs to evolve •  Computing and networking have to change •  Management needs to be native, not an after-thought

•  Cisco is leading Data Center innovation •  Cisco Unified Fabrics was the first step •  Cisco UCS is the next step

•  Cisco UCS is a clean sheet approach for next generation virtualized data centers
