Why refresh to M5?
• Industry-leading GPU support
• Faster CPUs
• More, faster memory
• More drives on rack servers
• Features promote server consolidation
opportunities
• Higher Density
Feature
• Fewer servers needed for VDI and
deep-learning projects
• Improved application performance
• Fewer servers needed for big data and
database projects
• Reduced CapEx and OpEx
• Lower licensing cost and reduced power per
performance.

Decision Engine
for IT environments
• Software that continuously
analyzes workload consumption,
costs and compliance
constraints and automatically
allocates resources in real-time.
• It assures workload
performance by giving
workloads the resources they
need when they need them.

Process
• Problems typically addressed
after alerting—reactive
• Labor intensive
• More data = more noise
Decision
• Problems typically addressed
before alerting—preventative
• Little to no human intervention
• More data = better decisions

Cisco Workload Optimization Manager
What workload to run where, when, and why
• Determines workload placement and scaling by matching resource demands
with available supply
• Can be deployed in 20 minutes or less
• Deliversperformance analysis in 1 hour
• Provides full demand profile in 72 hours
Automated
decision
engine
• Abstracts data center into supply chain of buyers and sellers
• Supply and demand (utilization) determine a virtual price for resources
• Microeconomic principles drive resource decisions in the data center
