Agenda

Cloud Specific Challenges in the Data Center CISCO aim to address

CISCO’s Data center Vision for Cloud Computing:

Blue print aligned to your goals and Cloud readiness

CISCO Technology Differentiators:

Three pillars of Data center Virtualisation as a Cloud enabler

CISCO’s Cloud Virtual Multi-tenancy Architecture (2.0)

Customer Example: Provisioning a Service on Virtual Multi-Tenant Architecture


Lack of Centralized Control and Governance

• High error rates due to disconnected processes

• Infrastructure sprawl

Cloud Specific Challenges in the DC

Source: IDC.

• Lack of agility

• High cost of IT staff

• Business-it discord

Long Provisioning Times for New Services

• Labour-intensive, manual processes for service management

Pressure to Move Towards Proactive SLA Management

• Low capacity utilization

• High operating costs

• Overcrowding of datacenter

High Capital Costs Due to Provisioning for Peak Loads Lack of

IT-Business

Alignment

Virtual Multi Tenancy Data center – VMDC 2.0

LARGE POD SMALL POD

Customer Benefits

The Cisco VMDC architecture is a validated design of a

virtualized multi-tenant infrastructure that delivers several

benefits

1. Predictable deployment time and cost:

2. Rapid tenant provisioning and management on a unified

infrastructure

3. Efficient and flexible workload deployment:

Use of shared resource pools and service catalogues
