ACI: The reason

Private Cloud

– On-premise

– Openstack, Vendor-oriented

Public Cloud

– Off-premise

– Security, Multi-tenant, mobility (challenges)

Hybrid Cloud

– Use-case based (burst, shadow-IT, Dev on public vs Production on private)

– Most likely to be implemented in the next 3-5 years

– Best price-performance option

IT Transformation: Cloud

What to choose?

Summary

Key takeaways

• Abstract your Data Center from hardware identity at every level and provision policy consistency everywhere from compute, storage to network with Cisco Data Center technologies

• Provision and change your physical and virtualnetwork including L4-L7 services in minutes with ACI and its open ecosystem

• Move your VMs from any supervisor anywhere in your network with integrated VXLAN on ACI

• Integrate next-generation storage with Cisco Converged Solutions, Virtual Storage and UCS hyperconvergency-built technologies

• Evolve from IT Automation to IT Consumption with Cisco Cloud Solutions like Openstack Integration, CEPC and UCS Director

• Manage your infrastructure through a single pane of glass and maintain policy consistency even if it is in the Public Cloud with Cisco Intercloud Fabric

• Optimize your applications OPEX and performancewith UCS and its RISC migration/trade-in program through service-profiles
