• Simplify I/O infrastructure and management• Reduce support infrastructure up to 50% –

NICs, HBAs, chassis interconnects, cabling

Unified Fabric – Fabric Extenders

• Single, highly available point of management• Reduce management tools and consoles• XML API designed for automation and cloud deployments

Embedded – Unified

Management

• More economical footprint for memory-intensive workloads• Higher VM consolidation ratios• Large-dataset workloads on two socket servers

Extended Memory Technology

• Flexible I/O consolidation • Integration with leading HypervisorsVirtual Adapters

• Configure servers and network connectivity as single action• Faster provisioning – reduced spares inventory• Abstracts automation from HW details, easing new HW introduction

Requirements for Hybrid Cloud

Enterprise Data Center(Private Cloud)

Service ProviderPublic Cloud

• Transparency: Transparently migrate any application to public cloud- No change to application’s IP address

• Consistency: Ensure consistent operation (network policies, firewall policies, …) across Enterprise DC and public clouds

• Security: Maintain complete isolation in public cloud (across multiple enterprises)

Enterprise-B Data Center(Private Cloud) Ensure isolation and

security in public cloud

• Transparent Application Migration

• Consistent network experience

• Secure container in public cloud
