4 The IT challenge... Natalia Online Marketing Manager Instant online project: 20TB, Webserver, Analytics engine Dmitry Infrastructure Manager Renewed Storage, Servers 18 months ago to make it Cloud Ready Alexander IT Engineer, has to make it work Works late nights and weekends Cisco Connect Cisco and/or its affiliates.

5 How to simplify the Data Center Traditional Converged HyperConverged 5-6 SW stacks to manage 6 different legacy hardwares Complexity of a SAN less SW stacks to manage 6 different legacy hardwares Pre-configured Complexity of a SAN 1 SW stack to manage Standard x86 hardware Ethernet only

6 Grow your Datacenter in a predictable way! Fixed modules + At fixed cost + You know the performance + You know the storage space + You know the bandwidth = Easy to plan = Easy cost control

7 Cisco HYPERFLEX Hyperconverged Infrastructure from Cisco A Datacenter-in-a-box Launched March 2, customer orders worldwide! 84 customers in Central Europe! Built on Cisco UCS technology 7

8 It is a Cisco UCS product Engineered on Cisco UCS The Ideal System for Hyperconvergence Integrated, High Performance Network Fabric Programmable Automation of all Hardware 1 Complete Hyperconvergence Unified Compute and Network Infrastructure Wide Array of Rack and Blade Form Factors

9 HyperFlex Differentiation Agile Efficient Adaptable Networking Integration Deploy the Entire System Faster, Not Just Computing and Storage Indepentent Scaling Storage - Computing Flexibility: Increase Computing for VDI, Analytics etc. Break Down Silos Manage in the Same Way You Manage Your UCS Blade Servers, Rack Servers and Converged Infrastructure Solutions

13 Data Reduction without impacting performance Inline Deduplication 20-30% space savings Inline Compression 30 50% Space Savings No Special Hardware No Performance Impact

14 Fast and Flexible Native Snapshots for backups Pointer-Based Snapshots Space Efficient Fast creations and deletions Fine-grained or coarse grained VM-Level or VM Folder Level VAAI integrated Quiesced and Crash-consistent Use vcenter Snapshot Manager Policy based Schedules, Retention period

15 Fully integrated into Vmware vcenter 100% vcenter Based Management Extends virtualization management seamlessly No switching between management consoles View storage alerts/alarms alongside with ESX alerts/alarms Command line interface for automation

16 Variety of Common Use Cases VIRTUAL DESKTOP INFRASTRUCTURE SERVER VIRTUALIZATION TEST & DEVELOPMENT LARGE REMOTE /BRANCH OFFICE Low upfront costs Consistent performance Predictable scaling Reduce operational complexity Adaptive Scaling Always-on resiliency Agile provisioning Frequent iterations Instant cloning and snapshots Simple deployment Centralized management No fly-and-fix missions

17 Summary Scale Storage and Computing independently Network Automation (it is a UCS!) Fixed cost for known space/performance Simple, flat licensing Datacenter-in-a-box - little integration efforts! 17
