3 Building the Datacenter Network Business Today Team Approach Big Data Software Defined Networking Essential Guidance

4 Exploding Traffic Growth: Datacenter to the Edge MORE DEVICES MORE APPLICATIONS MORE CONTENT MORE ON-DEMAND ACCESS Data centers have become the cornerstone of business But the edge of the network is undergoing its own transformation

5 Top IT Initiatives for 2012 Source: IDC CIO Agenda Survey. November-December, 2011 Data shows % of respondents who listed as a top 3 initiative. n= 36

6 Cloud Investments Note: Mean s includes zero s N =800 Source: IDC Cloud Survey, 2012 Q. What Percentage of your Budget will be allocated to the following/today and in 24 months?

7 Private Cloud: Important Technology Elements Note: Most Important N = 800 Source: IDC Cloud Survey, 2012 Q. Please rate the importance of the following technology elements that must be present for IT delivery infrastructure to be considered a Private Cloud?

8 Middleware Storage Network Servers System SW The Team Approach: Defining Converged Systems Converged Platform System Common pool of IT assets HW & SW assets tuned for service Customized systems optimized to run preintegrated packaged SW Converged Infrastructure Systems Common pool of IT assets Compute Storage Network Resource control and automation SW Use of converged systems in the datacenter makes the network more critical for availability and operational efficiency

9 Private Cloud: Datacenter Network Priorities Q. What was the main reason you needed to Re-Architect The Network to support Private Cloud? N = 200 Source: IDC Virtualization Survey, 2012

10 Network As a Platform Network Business As applications a Platform API Network Management Cloud, Converged Infrastructure and the Datacenter Mobile/Access Edge

11 Software Defined Networking: Network as a Platform SDN Dynamic exchange between applications and the network Delivering programmable interfaces to the network Management abstraction of the topology Separation of control and transport functions OpenFlow catalyst to SDN innovation December 2011 The Open Networking Foundation (ONF) announced OpenFlow Switch Specification Version 1.2 Good example of how network virtualization can help add network intelligence Separation of control from the data/forwarding plane

12 12 Operational Efficiencies The Team Approach: Datacenter Network Eliminate redundant costs Virtual machine visibility Reduction in ongoing management complexity New requirements Over 1/3 rd of customers report security between virtual machines is now the top priority Applications IT Infrastructure Network Security

13 Datacenter Network: Ready For Cloud Cloud Virtualization aware Application aware Reliable fault-tolerant high performance Simplified Deployment On going management Flexibility Provides investment protection Built for the future unknown (apps, users, devices) Secure Centralized control Proactive Multi tenancy Worldwide Datacenter Network Spend to Support Cloud ($M) Source: IDC, 2012

14 The New Datacenter Network: Bandwidth #1 Priority in server virtualization use cases Total 10GbE Datacenter Network Ports Shipped` (Thousands) Ethernet grew to 76% of DC network revenue 10G Ethernet "LAN-on- Motherboard" (LOM) Cloud growth Explosion of content Source: IDC Worldwide Datacenter Network Qview, 2012

15 The Rise of Big Data/Big Content: Real Time Value in a Connected World Explosion in data/sensors creates a value proposition Business centric vs. IT centric Data intensive social media. Online ingest of and access to large volumes of rich content Network challenge is emergingcustomers are fighting the last war Big Data will redefine ratios (server/storage/network) Worldwide Datacenter Network Spend to Support Big Data ($M) Source: IDC, 2012

16 Essential Guidance Moving at the speed of the new economy dictates a new approach that reduce costs and increases IT agility Mobile, virtual and cloud is building the foundation for OpenFlow and SDN to succeed The ways that information is collected, analyzed, used and preserved is demanding new innovations on the network
