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.

Mgmt Server

Server Deployment Today

Over the past 20 years• An evolution of size, not thinking

• More servers & switches than ever

• Virtualization only amplifies the problem

• Management applied, not integrated

Result• More points of management

• More difficult to maintain policy

coherence

• More difficult to secure

• More difficult to scale


A New Architectural Approach Is NeededTomorrow‘s Data Center Can‘t Be Built On Yesterday‘s Technology

• Virtualization is changing the focus

• Applications no longer tied to server hardware

• Applications are now objects moving through the network

• The data center needs to evolve

• Computing and networking have to change

• Management needs to be native, not an after-thought

• Cisco is leading Data Center innovation

• Cisco Unified Fabrics was the first step

• Cisco UCS is the next step

• Cisco UCS is a clean sheet approach for next

generation virtualized data centers
