2 Challenges in Networking How do I simplify my network? How do I make my network more affordable? CIO/CTO Network Architect Dev Ops How do I scale my network? How do I innovate faster? 2

3 Drive Towards the Software Defined Data Center / Open Networking Web Scale Operations Complex applications on generic infrastructure Traditional Enterprises Automation allows dynamic deployment at scale Drive toward web scale efficiencies Capacity = CAPEX Business model = OPEX Operational benefit without the development cost Searching for the right suppliers 3

4 The Changing Networking Landscape Traditional Networking Stack Modern Networking Stack app app app APP APP APP operating system hardware NETWORK OS HARDWARE single vendor blob multi vendor ecosystem 4

5 History is Repeating Itself Linux-driven disaggregation of hardware/software Compute Last 15 years Networking Happening now Servers: Legacy Systems Complex monolithic systems that lock in and don t scale Servers: Open Ecosystem Agile, open, scalable with unprecedented cost savings 5

6 We Are a Key Enabler of the Movement The missing piece: Cumulus Linux, bringing the Linux revolution to networking HARDWARE PENGUIN COMPUTING 6

7 Network Operating System as a Platform APP APP APP NETWORK OS HARDWARE Cumulus Linux Native Linux distribution Open and proven, not proprietary, not Linux-like Based on Debian Wheezy Hardware accelerated routing and switching OS as a platform Tools run natively Converged administration Application innovation Routing Bridging Orchestration Cumulus Linux Industry Standard Hardware Network Virtualization Monitoring 7

8 Cumulus Linux Linux and Networking Come Together Ecosystem Network Applications and Operations APP APP APP NETWORK OS HARDWARE Linux OS Hardware Accelerated IPv4/IPv6 Network Routing and Switching Open Network Install Environment (ONIE) Industry Standard Hardware 8

9 Open Network Install Environment (ONIE) APP APP APP NETWORK OS HARDWARE Easily install your network OS of choice ONIE provides choice of OS Similar to BIOS+PXE for servers SERVER OS BIOS and PXE Industry Standard Server NETWORK OS Boot Loader and Industry Standard Switch 9

10 Industry Standard Hardware APP APP APP NETWORK OS HARDWARE 16 hardware platforms 2 CPU architectures 10

11 Application Ecosystem APP APP APP NETWORK OS HARDWARE NSX Routing Network Automation Orchestration Network Virtualization Monitoring Storage Security Cumulus Linux Industry Standard Hardware 11

12 The results for your Software Defined Data Center Alter the Economics in your Data Center Faster Easier Affordable Delivers high capacity fabrics with unprecedented price-performance Enables next generation architectures Enables the next wave of scale, collaboration and innovation Simplifies orchestration, automation and monitoring of networks Consistent Linux-based toolsets for network and compute Lower OPEX/CAPEX Break free from vendor lock-in Enables large ecosystem of native Linux apps 12

13 The Modern Data Center Topology Flatter & scalable topologies, non-blocking fabric, modern management techniques Spine Layer Spine Layer 10GE/40GE Links 10GE/40GE Links Leaf Layer Leaf Layer Server Nodes Storage Nodes Cumulus Linux operating system running on bare-metal switches 13

14 A wide variety of use cases Cumulus Linux can be leveraged during New server builds New storage infrastructure builds Management network build-out for server farms Data center network refresh Top-of-rack designs Leaf/spine architecture designs Automation and orchestration initiatives Software-defined networking/data center (SDN/SDDC) initiatives Network virtualization projects Cloud infrastructure initiatives Workloads that require lots of compute power (big data) 14

15 Bandwidth Liberation Movement Get a 40GE Fixed Switch at 1/3 rd the price of incumbent switches Get 10G for the price of 1G today 32x40G Switch ASP under $10,000 10G ASP lower than 1G incumbent ASP $35,000 $10,000 $30,000 $25,000 $9,000 $8,000 $7,000 $20,000 $15,000 $10,000 $6,000 $5,000 $4,000 $3,000 $5,000 $0 Incumbent 32x40G Switch Hardware Partner 32x40G Switch + Cumulus Linux $2,000 $1,000 $0 Incumbent 1G Switch Hardware Partner 10G Switch + Cumulus Linux 32x40G Switch L3 License Subscription (1Yr) Switch L3 License Subscription (1Yr) ASP Price for Hardware Partner + Cumulus Linux does not assume any discount ASP Price for incumbent systems assumes Cisco Nexus 3132Q (32x40G) and 3048 (48x1G+4x10G) at 55% discount; Includes L3 Hardware & Software, 15% discount on maintenance, Optics not included 15

21 Have you considered. Linux as your common data center operating system 21

22 Have you considered. Your SDN overlay strategy needs an open & flexible underlay strategy 22

23 Have you considered. Bring web scale economics to your own environment

24 Have you considered. Should a switch purchase model be any different than a server purchase model? 24

25 Have you considered. Server automation technology is far more advanced than network automation. Why? 25
