Status Quo is Not an Option
Source: Gartner, 2006
“50% of Enterprise Class data centers will be
technologically obsolete within 24 months” - Gartner Group
• Storage growing at 40-70% per year
• Utilization ~10-25% (Servers/Storage)
• Power & Cooling ~25-30% of total DC costs outstripping Server Budget
• Operations taking another ~30% of total DC costs
• Information Retention extending from 3 to 10 years
• New Applications can take 60-180 days to deploy

VN-Link Brings VM Level Granularity
Problems:
VN-Link:• Extends network to the VM • Consistent services • Coordinated, coherent management
VMotion• VMotion may move VMs across
physical ports—policy must follow
• Impossible to view or apply policy to locally switched traffic
• Cannot correlate traffic on physical links—from multiple VMs

Today‘s Enterprise Service ProvisioningA Scale-Out Example
SysAdmin racks new server
Loads O/S and Applications
NetOps connects Ethernet cabling, configures VLAN/Port Config
SLB Admin Adds Server to Pool
SecOps checks security policy, expands FW Port Range
NetOps ensures Branch connectivity/ Routable Subnet
StorageOps configures LUN, maps to Server
StorageOps provisions disk volume and resources
Assume you just want to add one server to a web-farm…
The challenge is one of ‗coordination delays‘. This type of simple scale-out of an existing serve often takes enterprises 90-days.
New service turn-ups, after the application has been developed, often take 180+ days.
VFrame is designed to eliminate these delays and automate the provisioning of services

Time To Turn Virtualization Inside Out
―Virtualization is the most disruptive technology to hit networking in 10 years.‖
―It‘s the first computing architecture that has a high network dependency.‖
―The network architecture has to be in lock step with server, storage and desktop.‖
―The network was the plumbing…Now it‘s the new backplane.‖ - IDC
