“70% of typical IT budgets are allocated to run existing IT
applications and infrastructure, leaving only 30% available for new
initiatives.”(IBM Global CEO study, 2008)

Conventional Data Center Model
New applications trigger build out of dedicated server, network, and storage infrastructure
Separate teams build and provision; leads to a slow, linear process
Tight Coupling of Apps and Infrastructure makes it tough to have capacity ahead of time
Growth capacity purchased for each application; no way to leverage unused capacity to other applications

Convention leads to challenges & costs
Numerous inter-dependencies between Computing, Storage, and Networking for the Data Center– Virtualized computing needs shared storage– Network provides bandwidth, mobility, and expansion to Virtualized
computing– Shared storage requires network infrastructure (switches, cables,
circuits, etc.)
A comprehensive Architecture not only reduces risk, but creates leverage

Defy Conventional Wisdom
A Virtualized, Dynamic Data Center is like a three-legged stool…– If any of the legs are too short, it falls– Each leg is equally important
Changes or optimizations to one leg can improve the value of one or two of the others
More than ever, your individual choices have enterprise impact

Unified Fabric
A Unified fabric is the end state network where LAN, SAN, and IPC traffic are converged onto a single network infrastructure
FCoE is the enabling technology for delivering a unified fabric and I/O interfaces. It provides seamless integration with existing FC SAN environments

Why Unified Fabric?
Consolidation of Infrastructure– Cabling– Switches– Adapters
TCO Reduction– Equipment costs– Operational Costs
Enables Virtualization– Unified ports– Wire once & Walk away– Optimized for virtual machine

Key Benefits of Unified Fabric
Reduce overall DC power consumption Extend the lifecycle of current data center
Wire hosts once to connect to any network Faster rollout of new applications & services.
Every host will be able to mount any storage target Improve Data management & resilience
Ubiquitous, scalable connectivity enables Virtual Machine portability

From cabling to your Data Center organization – UCS simplifies
From ad hoc and inconsistent…
…to structured, but siloed, complicated
and costly……to simple, optimized and
automated
What does your Data Center organization look like?
