8 Specialized architectures developed to run workloads on more optimal hardware, reducing capital and other operational expenses (e.g. power). Dense Modularity enables hardware to be tailored to the workload, with easy technology upgrades when available Custom Micro Servers Personalized designs achieve significant cost advantage over mainstream products enabled by vast scale / purchasing power Low energy servers constructed around low-power CPU s (e.g. ARM) suitable for narrow set of cases Disaggregated A theoretical model of virtualized server and network components & community projects to standardize interfaces LENOVO.

9 SDI is driven by the need for automation inherent to cloud infrastructure which is otherwise costly to scale and slow to provision. Orchestration Operational and business policies to provision, configure, and control application resources Composition Configuration and performance monitoring of physical and virtual resources Automation Operations Business Processes Software Defined Infrastructure (Virtualized Resources) SDC SDN SDS Cloud Services Resources Abstracted pool of physical hardware resources Physical Hardware LENOVO. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

10 SDI enables Data Center orchestration and automates provisioning and management of resources A foundation technology for consolidated and HyperScale data centers SDC Software Defined Compute Decouples CPU and memory from physical hardware SDN Software Defined Networking Separates network control from physical connections SDS Software Defined Storage Abstracts storage capabilities from physical & virtual storage devices and services LENOVO.

11 Relative maturity and speed of evolution of different SDI definitions vary widely SDC Mature SDN Emerging SDS Embryonic Incompatibilities will exist for a time across vendors and between SDI s SDI is not a stand-alone IT project but an enabler primarily for Cloud In some cases, true standards and interoperability are weak, and mechanisms for defining and policing standards are only slowly emerging Beware software vendor lock-in Customers should focus on business need, not desire to integrate the technologies LENOVO. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
