Cisco UCS Leadership and Momentum
1
• Unified Infrastructure: compute, networking, virtualization, storage access, management software
• Management Automation: UCS Manager and Service Profiles across blade and rack servers
• Ideal for enterprise applications: proven for both bare metal and virtualized enterprise deployments
• Design flexibility: scale across systems and across data centers
• Ideal Cloud Infrastructure: UCS is winning the cloud build-out (72% of top 50 cloud providers)
• In FY12 Q2 UCS experienced 91% year over year growth
• UCS has $1.3 billion annualized revenue run rate (CQ4-2011)
• Over 11,000 unique UCS customers, and nearly half of allFortune 500 customers have invested in UCS
• 2,000 UCS Channel Partners; 838 achieved Data Center Specialization Certification
• 44 ISVs and counting writing to Cisco UCS API
• 63 World Record Performance Benchmarks to date

They Said It Couldn’t Be Done
Demand for data center innovation has vaulted Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) to the #3 leader in the fast-growing segment of the x86 server market
UCS impacting growth of established vendors like HP
Legacy offerings flat-lining or in decline
Cisco growth out-pacing the market
Customers have shifted over 12% of the global x86 blade server market to Cisco and 19% in the US

Legacy Systems Approach• Vendors “simplify” by
• adding software layers • providing professional services
• Each acquired separately
• Result is a complex stack of management software to support servers & high costs• Difficult to scale• Difficult to change
• Legacy mentality = • High OpEx , High CapEx
• Management complexityis driving server vendorservice & software revenues

Memory Extender
Large number of applications are memory bound
Multi-core processors taxing available memory
Scaling = more servers; more power, licensing, networking, points of management OR Large SMP servers: higher costs, more expensive licensing
Memory pricing is non-linear
Server Limitations: MemoryReduced server costs
–Purchase fewer servers for memory-bound applications
–Fewer servers = smaller footprint & reduced maintenance costs
Reduced power and cooling costs–Less space and higher density
consolidation (e.g. VDI desktops)Reduced software costs
–Most software is licensed on a per-socket basis

Extended Memory Cost Savings
• Lower mainstream memory costs in high-memory configurations
• Attainable, linear, high-end Capacity
• Fill higher configurations with 4 or 8 GB DIMMs—no rip and replace
NOTE: DDR3 memory pricing as of 9/06/11 Competitive memory pricing from HP web site as of 09/06/11

Supports single-OS & VM-based deployments
High Performance
Dynamic server provisioning – reduce purchases by time-sharing servers–Re-purpose servers by changing number & type of vNICs in server profiles
Enhanced server availability – purchase fewer servers for HA–Use same pool of standby servers for multiple server types – simply apply profile with appropriate vNICs

Server Virtualization Issues
1. vMotion moves VMs across physical ports—the network policy must follow
2. Impossible to view or apply network policy to locally switched traffic
3. Need shared nomenclature for security policies between network and server admin
