Data Center 2

Executive Summary Data Center Seven enterprise production data centers (not including Linksys, WebEx and Scientific Atlanta) Data centers support Cisco business processes 10+ Petabytes of total storage Initial four-tier model Four- tier model replaced by vertical/ horizontal model ( silo challenges) Move to redesign into the Service Oriented Data Center (SODC) model SODC meets strategic business objectives: 1. Lower TCO 2. Enhance business agility 3. Improve business continuance SODC model will optimally manage the infrastructure to meet user, application, and business needs. 3 Stages of data center redesign 1. Consolidation 2. Virtualization 3. Automation SODC Components: Storage shared SAN and NAS filers Servers migration to 1-rack unit servers and stackable blade servers Network Catalyst 6500 Security part physical, policy and practice 3

SODC Design Phases Consolidate Optimize data center resources Increase resource utilization Virtualize Virtual resource pools Increase availability and agility Automate Adaptive orchestration Rapid delivery of services 4

Data Centers, Past, Present and Future Past Present Future Infrastructure (all servers, storage, some network) aligned to business group silo Initial migration of DAS to SAN, in silos Low storage and server utilization, high cost Manual patches Heterogeneous OS Migrating siloed SAN to consolidated SAN pool SAN virtualization within SAN pool Improved storage utilization, reduced cost Content Switching Module (CSM) in front of Web servers CSM in grid computing environment for server consolidation AON for application function consolidation Server consolidation and virtualization within server pool Unified data center fabric Network services virtualization Shared data center services through virtualization Automated policy based provisioning of data center resources 7

Data Centers Benefits Summary Productivity SODC will enhance business agility Operational Excellence SODC will improve business continuance Cost Savings SODC will lower TCO Fast Facts Enhanced infrastructure with QoS, multicast support enables advanced technology with good client experience Integrated service modules drive management costs down for network services such as load balancing, SSL offload Integrated Services Routers support advanced technology functions to reduce devices to manage 8

Storage Networking 9

Executive Summary Storage Advantages: Cost Reduction: Increased storage utilization Reduced storage TCO (from $0.12/MB to $0.01/MB) FCIP creates a global SAN fabric Separate VSANs create virtual storage Availability and Manageability: Multiple paths between servers and storage Improved provisioning speed and ease of storage management Nonblocking architecture Other Benefits: Reduced data center crowding Improved provisioning speed Improved performance Virtualization of storage resources leads to Network as a platform 10

Storage Networking First pair of MDS9509s off of the production line used to support mission-critical ERP environment at Cisco in January, 2003 125 Cisco MDS switches deployed globally at Cisco ~ 12,000 ports in production globally, supporting over 10 Petabytes of storage Single 2500-port SAN in production in RTP (spanning multiple data centers in and between San Jose and Amsterdam via FCIP over the WAN) iscsi used to support several midrange applications $71M cost avoidance to date TCO of storage was $0.12/MB; now is $0.01/MB Av. amount of storage managed per employee increased from 25 Terabytes to 600 Terabytes over the last 6 years Since 2001, overall utilization of storage resources increased from 20% - 68% 11

Storage Networking Architecture Maintenance cost reduction: $4M / year for three years Data center expansion avoided: $71M cost deferred at least 4 years Storage project NPV $14 M TCO (MB/yr) reduced from $0.12 in FY 2002, to $0.01 in FY 2008 IP WAN WAFS (future) Cisco File Engines FCIP FC Cisco IP LAN Datacenter 1 iscsi Datacenter n DWDM, CWDM Or Dark Fibre CIFS NFS NAS Gateways FCIP PLATINUM GOLD SILVER BRONZE Campus/Site (1) wide low latency MDS FC SAN Fabric Campus/Site (n) wide low latency MDS FC SAN Fabric Small Remote Site(s) Cisco File Engines 12

Storage Networking Past, Present and Future Past 90% DAS environment until 1999 Storage per client/per application = more units. Cost high flexibility Dozens of small SAN islands Present Cisco MDS in data center Consolidated SAN per data center, VSAN consolidation Storage Networking World Best Practice Award for MDS implementation in ERP environment Optimized and consolidated storage per VSAN/per app = Flexibility high cost low First intercontinental virtual data center (6000- mile SAN connection) Future Service Oriented Data Center Utility-level storage through SLA management Single SAN per site to Single SAN worldwide Virtualization of resources, automated, on-demand provisioning Virtualization of storage is a requisite step towards network as a platform 13

Storage Networking Benefits Summary Operational Excellence Cisco MDS 9500 + Fabric Manager = improved provisioning, reliability and reduced storage management costs Cost Savings Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) reduced from $0.12 annually (2002), to $0.01 (2008) $71M storage-related cost avoidance from Fiscal 04-08 14
