7 Conventional Approach Mgmt Server Mgmt Server 1 Blade Servers Limited local disk, memory and I/O 2 Systems Management Individual Server Elements Chassis Modules Stand Alone Mgmt Servers 3 Blade Chassis Switches Ethernet Fibre Channel Management Ports 4 Top Rack of Switches Ethernet Fibre Channel 5 Lots of Cabling Ethernet Fibre Channel Management 6 Complexity Multiplied Repeat Points at Management 10U at a Time

8 Typical Blade Architecture Mgmt Server Over the past 10 years An evolution of size More servers & switches More switches per server Management applied, not integrated An accidental architecture Result: Complexity More points of management More difficult to maintain policy coherence More difficult to secure More difficult to scale

9 Mgmt Server Mgmt Server Unified Management Fabric Interconnect: Single point of management for Server, LAN and SAN provisioning Unified Fabric Fabric Interconnect: Single point for all LAN and SAN switching. 9

10 The UCS Architecture Mgmt Server Unified Management Fabric Interconnect: Single point of management for Server, LAN and SAN provisioning Unified Fabric Fabric Interconnect: Single point for all LAN and SAN switching. Fabric Extenders: Provide I/O from chassis to Fabric Interconnect. Fibre Channel over Ethernet: All SAN traffic within the system is FCOE. 10

11 The UCS Architecture A single system that encompasses: Network: Unified fabric Compute: Industry standard x86 Virtualization optimized Unified management model Dynamic resource provisioning Efficient Scale Cisco network scale & services Fewer servers with more memory Lower cost Fewer servers, switches, adapters, cables Lower power consumption Fewer points of management 11

19 Cisco s Commitment to Data Center I am very confident in our data center strategy and in our ability to lead in this market transition. Together with Virtualization and Cloud, Data Center is one of our five corporate priorities that will help us drive growth and productivity for our customers and partners Cisco CEO John Chambers

20 Cisco UCS Leadership and Momentum In Q4FY12 Data Center Revenue increased 90% year over year and 42% quarter over quarter In Q4FY12, UCS bookings increased 58%, year over year As of Q4FY12 Cisco UCS achieved an annualized run rate of over 1.6 billion dollars As of August 2012, there are over 15,800 unique UCS customers More than half of all Fortune 500 customers have invested in UCS 347 customers have booked over one million in UCS product and 813 have booked over $500,000 Over 2600 Channel Partners are actively selling UCS and over 1200 UCS specialized partners in the channel worldwide 64 World Record Performance Benchmarks to date

24 isco UCS: Changing the Economics of the Data Center 30% Less CapEx; 80% lower OpEx 90% Faster 95% Less Time 80% Reduction in Support Staff Requirement 69% Less Cost 51% - 95% Faster TCO / ROI Disaster Recovery Deployment Times IT Staffing Power Cooling Application Performance

25 Cisco Unified Data Center Changing the Economics of the Data Center Less Cost Reduced operating costs by 25%. Audience View Ticketing Initial investment has been reduced by 58%, while maintenance costs have been reduced by 17%, and rack costs by 58%. The combined total reduction in TCO is over 50%. NTT Data While some of the other solutions were slightly cheaper up front, we estimated that they would have cost 20-30% more as the infrastructure scaled. SAIC A 13-month payback, 166% ROI, and IT capital and operating savings of more than $1.27M over 3 years. Oak Hills School District Infrastructure Costs

26 Cisco Unified Data Center Changing the Economics of the Data Center Faster We ve been able to reduce backup time from two hours to one hour, a 50 percent time savings. Miami Children s Hospital We slashed network outages, for cost savings of $100,000 per month. Seven Corners "During testing, we failed over the entire application environment from the production data center to the DR data center in less than 30 minutes. Hay Group We improved the recovery point objective and recovery time objective from hours to minutes. Jack Henry & Associates Disaster Recovery

27 Cisco Unified Data Center Changing the Economics of the Data Center Less Time Decreased time to provision new server resources from 5 days to 20 minutes National Future Farmers of America Organization It would have taken us a week or so to provision more server space. Now we have much more flexibility, so it takes us half a day. Our data center environment is much more dynamic. Heritage Auction Since we don t have to redesign our infrastructure every time we integrate a new technology, we ve been able to improve our deployment time by 33 percent. Molina Healthcare The time to provision services is being reduced from 8 hours to one. SENAI Santa Catarina Deployment Times

28 Cisco Unified Data Center Changing the Economics of the Data Center Increase Capacity No Staff Increase Through attrition, IT staffing has been reduced from 14 to 10 administrators. Because of this infrastructure, we ve actually enhanced our increased level of service without replacing that staff. Arizona Department of Economic Security Increased time software engineers can devote to development from 50% to 80% CareCore National Last year some 80% of our IT dollars went into break-fix. In the last three months, that percentage has dropped to 16% with recovered resources being applied to new-project work. We re also doing more with less across the company. Seven Corners IT Staffing

29 Cisco Unified Data Center Changing the Economics of the Data Center Less Cost Reduced energy consumption by 25-35%. SunGard A 70 percent savings in total power (kw) and cooling costs Travelport Achieved a six-fold increase in server utilization and lowered power consumption of its entire server estate by a third Cineca Now we only use about a quarter of the footprint we had before with almost triple the servers. Elon University Power Cooling

30 Cisco Unified Data Center Changing the Economics of the Data Center Faster We ve been able to reduce backup time from two hours to one hour, a 50 percent time savings. Miami Children s Hospital For Oracle, Performance testing achieved improvements that were 2 to 20 times faster than previously, depending on the transaction. EMC We calculated that operating 300 PeopleSoft servers on Cisco UCS costs 20 percent less. NaviSite Improved performance of surgery center management application by 10 times.
