Conventional Data Center Model

Business Need  New applications trigger build out
of dedicated server, network, and
storage infrastructure
Apps  Separate teams build and
provision; leads to a slow, linear
process
 Tight Coupling of Apps and
Servers Infrastructure makes it tough to
have capacity ahead of time
 Growth capacity purchased for
each application; no way to
Network leverage unused capacity to other
applications

Convention leads to challenges & costs

 Numerous inter-dependencies between Computing, Storage,
and Networking for the Data Center
– Virtualized computing needs shared storage
– Network provides bandwidth, mobility, and expansion to Virtualized
computing
– Shared storage requires network infrastructure (switches, cables,
circuits, etc.)
 A comprehensive Architecture not only reduces risk, but
creates leverage

Defy Conventional Wisdom

 A Virtualized, Dynamic Data Center is like
a three-legged stool…
– If any of the legs are too short, it falls
– Each leg is equally important
 Changes or optimizations to one leg can
improve the value of one or two of the
others
 More than ever, your individual choices
have enterprise impact

Virtualization brings Great Benefits..
…but it is not a “Free Lunch

 Increased resource utilization  Policies

 Decreased power and cooling  Management

 Faster provisioning  Security

 Higher availability  Processes

 Business continuity  Data center islands

Data Center Virtualization in Today’s Environment
IT Organizations Must Weave Together Complex Network, Compute,
Virtualization and Management Software
Virtualization Has Been Promised As the Answer. However, Virtualization Solutions to Date May Only Address
Part of the Problem, but Has Done So by Increasing Operational Expenses, Infrastructure Complexity, and Risk.

Unified Fabric

A Unified fabric is the end state
network where LAN, SAN, and IPC
traffic are converged onto a single
network infrastructure

FCoE is the enabling technology
for delivering a unified fabric and
I/O interfaces. It provides seamless
integration with existing FC SAN
environments

© 2008 Cisco 18


Why Unified Fabric?

 Consolidation of Infrastructure
– Cabling
– Switches Backup
Production Active
– Adapters Production Standby
Clustering

 TCO Reduction Management
SAN A
– Equipment costs SAN B

– Operational Costs Server

 Enables Virtualization
– Unified ports SAN
Edge
– Wire once & Walk away
– Optimized for virtual machine
environments LAN

Key Benefits of Unified Fabric

Reduce overall DC power consumption
Extend the lifecycle of current data center

Wire hosts once to connect to any network
Faster rollout of new applications & services.

Every host will be able to mount any storage target
Improve Data management & resilience

Ubiquitous, scalable connectivity enables Virtual
Machine portability

Unified Computing System
A single system that unifies
 Compute: Industry standard x86
 Network: Unified fabric
 Virtualization: Control, scale, performance
 Storage Access: Wire once for SAN, NAS, iSCSI

Embedded management
 Increase scalability without added complexity
 Dynamic resource provisioning
 Ability to integrate with broad partner ecosystem

Energy efficient
 Fewer servers, switches, adapters, cables
 Lower power and cooling requirements
 Increase
compute efficiency by removing I/O and
memory bottlenecks

From cabling to your Data Center organization – UCS simplifies

What does your Data Center organization look like?

From ad hoc and …to structured, but
inconsistent… siloed, complicated …to simple, optimized and
automated
and costly…

Service Profiles can be associated to any available server in a Unified Computing
System which automatically includes full migration of Identities, firmware, and
connectivity to LAN and SAN, etc
