DC: Le Converged Infrastructure per Software Defined e Cloud Cisco NetApp - Softway Luigi MARCOCCHIA SOFTWAY
Today s Businesses Require Greater Agility Focus on increasing speed of business Customers expect on-demand service consumption Inconsistent infrastructure delivery to application developers Flexibility to locate resources based on project needs and cost Solutions that accommodate current and nextgeneration application architecture
What If You Could Adopt automation at a pace comfortable to your business? Deliver consistent end-to-end infrastructure instances? Consume applications and business services on demand? Accelerate application development and deployment? Transparently consume and manage the lifecycle of private and hybrid cloud environments?
What We Need Comprehensive automation across all organizational layers End-to-end hardware and software solution Self-service user experience Services with built-in policies Hybrid-ready private cloud Choice, consistency, control, and compliance Accelerated application development and deployment Out-of-the-box templates and built-in tools
Infrastructure assurance, third-party billing, and resource management Software Defined Architecture Modern Portal and Service Catalog Out-of-the-box templates for application stacks Embedded custom application stack design Integrated Infrastructure Management Cisco UCS based and multivendor Virtual Network Services Router, edge and zone firewall, fabric Hybrid Cloud Connectivity Integrated infrastructure based on Cisco UCS Multivendor computing, network, storage, and virtualization Microsoft Azure
Market Trends require More Convergence Integrated infrastructure Minimize risk Validated designs Any workload Mission-critical apps Flexibility Virtualized and bare metal Scale in any dimension Building blocks SIMPLICITY SPEED SCALE
