NEXUS 9000 AND ACI DELIVERING BUSINESS OUTCOMES Cisco ACI is an open, future-proofed data center architecture that can continue to grow as we enhance client services. Chuck Crane Network and Security Architect, Axciom Cisco s open standards approach makes ACI even stronger. We conducted testing on ACI it fully delivered everything we expected, and proved to be quite stable and mature. Nik Weidenbacher Principal Engineer, SunGard This will enable Telstra to deliver service agility, security and performance that our customers expect from an enterprise grade cloud. Erez Yarkoni Executive Director, Telstra Greater Business Agility Lower Capital Expenses Reduced Costs/ Complexity Lower Operating Cost Resource Optimization 58 % Reduce Network Provisioning 25 % CAPEX Reduction 21 % Reduce Management Costs 45 % Reduce Power and Cooling Costs 10-20 % Compute and Storage Optimization 20
