Challenges for IT

Adopting Hybrid Cloud

Public, Private, Both?

Build/Buy/Rent?

Empower the developers

Applications drive the business

Automation and agility are imperative

Risk Mitigation

Security. Compliance.

Data sovereignty.

Adopting

Hybrid Cloud

SOLUTION

Improve cost through consolidation and reduced footprint

Simplify operations and increase agility

Accelerate time to value with Hyper-converged solutions

Decrease network management costs by 20%

Increase operational efficiency with UCS and agility with start to finish HyperFlex deployments in 34 minutes

200-300% increased density compared to merchant silicon at 50% of the cost using Cisco CloudScale technology

Create end to end repeatable workflow processes

Eliminate manual provisioning to reduce human errors

Utilize application level policy to onboard and scale apps

Ease of integration with 3rd party tools to build an automated consistent and repeatable processes (Puppet, Chef, Ansible, etc..)

Improved network efficiency by reducing provisioning times from weeks to minutes

Automate and accelerate the entire software development lifecycle (CI/CD).

Adopting

Hybrid Cloud

SOLUTION

Benchmark apps & identify best deployment environment

Provide real-time visibility across data center and cloud

Maintain governance through unified application policy

Automatically orchestrate the infrastructure based on application intent and stateless computing

Search tens of billions of flow records in real-time and at line rate to get actionable insights

Deploy any application on demand to any data center or cloud using an optimized configuration
