6. Traditional networks are not optimized for end users,
Increases complexity for administrators
Challenges
• Multiple protocols
and tiering (both
physical & logical)
• Policy enforcement
(users, devices,
content)
• Complex
configurations
(multiple devices &
types)
• Resilient network and
contextual view
• High operating
costs/shrinking
budgets
Requirements
• Personal device
support
• “Seamless” mobility
across network
locations
• Multi-media usage
for video, rich media
• Increased security
needs
• Rapid service
deployment (new
services &
applications)
7. 90+% of user traffic flows through the core
Simplify the edge & manage through a single device
Endpoint
traffic
Simplified Edge Requirements
• Access-based security
• Quality of Service
• Power (PoE)
• Loop detection/prevention
9. The Old Way to Roll out New Services
Multiple Touch Points
Individually Upgraded
Step 1 – If required, upgrade software on each
of the access switches
Step 3 – Configure each access device that
will run the new service
Step 2 – If required, upgrade software on core
switches
Step 4 – Configure each core device that will
run the new service
10. NEW! Dell Unified Campus Network Architecture
Unified Networking
• One logical networking tier from
access to core
• One logical device for all data types
(wired, wireless)
• One management plane
Unified Security & Policy
• One security/policy definition and
enforcement point
• Integrated security in data plane
The simplest campus solution
to deploy, operate and scale

11. Dell’s innovative architecture reduces complexity
Single logical tier & operating environment speeds deployment
• Simplifies the enterprise network by
merging core and access layers
• Administrators build and manage the entire
network from a single console providing
increased visibility
• Reduced risk of manual errors when
deploying or upgrading the network.

22. Dell OpenManage Network Manager (OMNM)
Unified management of multi-vendor networks
• Pro-actively discovers & monitors multi-
vendor network for conditions that may
cause service disruption
• Manages switches from vendors like
Brocade, Cisco, Dell, HP, Juniper,
• Lowers TCO by pro-actively monitoring
for network problems
• Port congestion
• Link down issues
• Bandwidth problems
• Automates common configuration actions
• Allows admins to focus on other key
projects by automating labor-intensive
operations
• Enables easy FW/OS deployment
