6 Growth in Networked Devices Will Drive Data Center Traffic to New Heights Source: Cisco VNI, 2010

7 Growth in Networked Devices Will Drive Data Center Traffic to New Heights Source: Cisco VNI, 2010

8 Growth in Networked Devices Will Drive Data Center Traffic to New Heights E-Reader = x 2* Smartphone = x 10* Digital Photo Frame = x 10* Video Camera = x 100* Mobile Phone Projector = x 300* Laptop = x 1300* But also consider: Storage Capacity Compute Capacity Power Space Cooling Bandwidth Source: Cisco VNI, 2010 *Monthly Basic Mobile Phone Data Traffic

9 Technologies Facilitating Technology Transformation Consolidate Virtualize Automate Reduced complexity, less to manage Lower OPEX Regain control of IT resources Higher resource utilization Lower CAPEX Decouples logical from physical resources The Network is the Platform Dynamically allocate resources Simplified policy-based provisioning Increase IT agility and productivity

10 Virtualization IT Infrastructure Applications Physical Infrastructure How Does It Affect You? Changing how IT is used Creates IT agility and flexibility Virtualization Provides a path to Cloud Computing Plays well with Green IT Drives culture change Storage Virtualization Server Virtualization Desktop Virtualization (VDI) Network Virtualization

11 Impact of the Physical Infrastructure is Increasing IT Infrastructure Management Software Network Architecture Virtualization & Cloud Computing Space & Carbon Footprint SLA Performance Power & Cooling Physical Infrastructure Costs & Efficiency

12 Physical Infrastructure Relevance Yesterday s Data Center built like a Swiss Army knife over provisioned could handle anything Today s Data Center designed for the specific purpose handling new technologies Operation closer to the edge to realize savings Two Tier and Fabric network architectures FCoE Private Cloud How fast can you drive a Ferrari on a bumpy road? The physical infrastructure is the smooth road that lets IT go fast.

13 Virtualization & Consolidation The Good Business Drivers: Efficiency improvements Cost savings Mergers and Acquisitions rightsizing Fewer Physical Machines Lower Overall Electric Use Higher Utilization Smaller Footprint

14 Virtualization & Consolidation The Bad High Density Cable Congestion Higher Utilization Power Density Demands Air Flow Issues Infrastructure Limitations: Trouble comes your way cause the old low-density infrastructure can t keep up with the new high-density demand Cooling Concerns

15 Virtualization & Consolidation and The Ugly Downtime Cooling Concerns Unforeseen Consequences: A spiral of ugly events that, if left unchecked, can lead to the death of the data center Missed SLA s No Room for Growth Move or Die

16 Virtualization & Consolidation To the Rescue Panduit s Reference Architecture Approach provides best practices for modular physical infrastructure design that address how to optimize Power, Cooling, Space within the Data Center Remediate Detailed Design Comprehensive Plan Analyze Assess/Audit

17 Getting Started Standards and Best Practices TIA, IEEE ITIL Energy Star Rating for Data Centers Utilize Reference Designs Regulations, Directives and Guidance Basel II Sarbanes-Oxley European Code of Conduct on Data Centers Assess Your Environment Applications Assets Thermal Power Grounding and bonding Infrastructure Analyze the Results Identify points of failure Locate inefficiencies Conduct what-if scenarios Design Align the logical design to the physical design Think scalable and modular Account for operational issues Implement Faster speed to deploy Allow for day one and beyond flexibility Practical solutions with low CapEx and OpEx

18 Standard Architectures Alone Are Not Adequate As the world migrates from 1Gbs to 100Gbs, interdependency considerations need to be made for: Power Cooling Space Performance Availability Reference architectures and designs help to increase the benefits applied to: Network Architecture Storage Compute Physical infrastructure convergence Standards/ Best Practices Customer Requirements Cost Scalability Installation Time 75% Less Waste 75% on Installation Time 20% on Project Time Risk Efficiencies Panduit Reference Design Infrastructure Expertise

19 Infrastructure Optimization and Simplification Panduit Professional Services leverages UPI methodology to assist customers with: System Alignment and Consolidation Network Convergence & Optimization Green and Brown-Field Deployments Future Preparedness and Readiness While Reducing Risk and Ensuring Performance

20 PIM Solution Structured modular-based offering Customize module mix based on business needs Enables easy deployment of additional functionality Available modules include: Connectivity Asset Power Environmental Integration packages with leading network management systems Works seamlessly with PanView iq TM (PViQ TM ) System Hardware and select third-party devices
