2 IT is undergoing a transformation The need for a new IT model has never been more clear Today s IT architecture increases procurement, management costs, and complexity IT is now moving towards a service based consumption model (Private Cloud) This new model requires a new way of thinking about both the underlying technology and the way IT is delivered for customer success navigating the path to that model has never been more complicated 2

3 Vblock Infrastructure Packages A New Way of Delivering IT Rapid deployment model for virtualized infrastructure Pre-integrated and validated d solutions reduce total cost of ownership Vblock Infrastructure Packages Applications Operating Systems Service-level driven through Virtualization predictable performance and operational Compute characteristics ti Improved compliance/security and reduced risk Network Information Storag e Accelerate Time to Results Reduce TCO 3
