Today we’ll introduce you to the FlexPod and in particular to Flexpod for VMware. FlexPod for VMware has been validated through architecture, sizing, deployment guides, and test plans. It leverages the collaborative services and support structure between the three companies. It is about -providing choice to the customer-Netapp has 17% of the market and grows with 20% annually. They are mostly in commercial accounts but expand into enterprize and also into SPs and strategic accounts as they are good for dev test projects
Many organizations perform the following steps when servicing a new applications or requirement.Collect detailed requirements.Architect & Size: Work with the vendors to architect and size the system. Depending on the number of applications and the number of vendors involved, the sizing and architecting phase can take many weeks and often months.DC Planning: Work with the Data Center team and negotiate power, floorspace, and cooling requirements for the new system.Procure Equipment: This involves many weeks of getting quotes, ordering, and receiving the new gear. Dealing with a large organization plus shipping times can easily take six weeks.Detailed Design: This phase involves working out exact configuration for compute configuration, network connectivity, storage layout, security, and isolation.Deploy: Configure the equipment for use.Test: Create and run a test plan to ensure that the equipment is correctly installed and meets the original requirements.By using FlexPod, many of these phases are compressed or removed altogether – customers taking the standardized approach to IT have repeatable demonstrated better than 50% faster deployment times over traditional approaches – Cisco-NetApp-VMware provide the reference collateral (sizing, design, deployment, testing), to standardized this deployment approach to all customers.Many organizations don’t know the future demands that will be placed on IT, but IT is expected to be very responsive. So going a step further by forward (preprovisioned) FlexPod as a pool of infrastructure, the compute, network, and storage resources are on the floor already, and it is a very rapid process to meet the business needs.You can efficiently preprovision infrastructure only if it augments pools of shared infrastructure and satisfies a wide range of application requirements. FlexPod for VMware has been architected to meet a wide range of application demands from shared infrastructure pools that are centrally managed.
Data centers are at the heart of business today. Streamlining data center agility and efficiency helps drive IT transformation, enabling our customers to offer enterprise-wide solutions like Desktop Virtualization, Borderless Mobility, and access to ubiquitous cloud-based services – all of which have a tremendous impact on business innovation. Cisco’s approach to the DC is top provide an open and standards based architecture. We bring system-level benefits like performance, energy efficiency, and resiliency and we address top care abouts like workload mobility and security. We test, pre-integrate and offer Cisco validated designs that are really blueprints for our customers, providing a faster deployment model, and quicker time to market. Cisco’s Unified Fabric, Unified Computing and Unified Network Services are the foundational pillars for our Data Center Business advantage framework. And our ability to have policy-based management and provisioning across the layers is another differentiator that solves a huge operational headache for customers. Together, these help deliver architectural flexibility, investment protection and lower TCO.What’s more, our Advanced Services help customers realize the full value of their investment by offering a comprehensive portfolio of services to help plan, build and run a virtualized data center.
