Double+ the Fabric Capacity with the new UCS 6248UP More than doubles the ports in 1RU while reducing latency to almost half

Increase Configuration Flexibility with Unified Ports Simplifies fabric purchase decision by allowing any port to be Ethernet or FC

Double the Chassis Bandwidth with the new UCS 2208XP With 16x 10GE uplinks provide up to 160Gb of bandwidth per chassis

Increase Bandwidth To Each Blade Using Port-Channeling Provides up to 2x 80 Gig shared bandwidth to each blade

Quadruple Blade Bandwidth with the UCS VIC 1280 Adapter Four times more I/O per blade; up to 40 Gbps burst per virtual interface

Increased Virtual Interface Scale Per Adapter Higher density of VMs when using VM-FEX

Resource Pooling

Rapid Elasticity


• Increase Business Agility & Reduce Elapsed Times:

Quickly get 5 to 500 new servers online

Repurpose systems as customers & payloads come and go

• Predictability, Quality, Repeatability

Specify exactly how each system is to be built

Reuse Intellectual Capital

• Reduce Costs:

OpEx: Labor - Sys Admins should do skilled, not repetitive work

CapEx: Equipment utilization – make every system work, all the time

• Scalability: grow your infrastructure without headcount growth

Sys Admins can be located anywhere & service many sites


• TSP controls the pre-OS domain: the time from power-on to login

• Used to provision (remotely install) and recover servers, blades, virtual machines, PCs, and appliances

• Used for bare-metal portion of O/S load via menu options

• Managed via GUI or API

• Not seen or accessed directly by Consumer

• Automates the provisioning process

• Monitors the unified network for performance degradation

• Secures the network

• Streamlines diagnosis of dysfunctional network elements

• Works with NX-OS (entire Nexus and MDS portfolios)

• Offers middleware XML API for device agnostic

programmability

• Or use 3rd Party tools:

BBNA, scripts, ...


• Major storage vendors offer either programmatic APIs or modules to ease or automate the provisioning of storage space

• Examples:

EMC’s Unisphere

Net App Virtual Storage Console

• An automation engine providing the environment to build and run workflows

• A drag-and-drop interface that allows workflow sequences to be built in a logical flow

• Logic connectors for parallel, sequential processing to capture domain-specific triage and diagnostic steps and procedures

• Event-driven processes that can either be scheduled or triggered by events

• Multiple Automation Packs and adapters

• Bundled Adapters & Targets are part of the base TEO package

• Additional Adapters & Targets can be developed via Advanced Services Engagement or may be included with future software upgrades


• Activity Viewer displays script process for troubleshooting/completeness

• This script shows interactions between TEO, TSP, and UCS-M as well as vCenter to bring up a new ESX Host on a UCS-M B200M2 blade

• Approvals can be part of the script (interrupting until approved)

• Approvals can also be built-in depending on what is being requested (VM Guest vs. Host) or by requesting user credentials

Service Catalog / Portal



• The service catalog is where IT defines what profiles, packages, optional services and service tiers are available for customers/end-users to implement.

• User should be able to select from a pre-defined selection of profiles and/or to create customized profiles

• Service catalog configurations should be presented as a flexible interface where an administrator can pick and choose multiple options to enable service creation.

• Service catalog is a critical part of cloud differentiation strategy for service providers

Pay-per-use tracking

Deliver agile and cost-effective IT for physical, virtual, and cloud environments, from desktop to data center

Proven in deployments by the world’s largest and most well-respected enterprises and service providers


• The catalog should promote your standard offers and options – it’s your brochure, menu, and storefront for IT consumers.

• Include your branding, logos, images, service tiers, SLAs, pricing, etc.


• Provide configurable interactive forms, with requester and customer account information pre-populated for users


• Enforce role-based and policy-based controls for self-service

• Guide user requests to the right solutions to meet their needs

• Ensure proper platform, security profile, build procedures, compliance, etc.

• Track everything about the service, including workload information, storage details, network data, etc.

• Manage the history and lifecycle of the service, including VM, storage, etc. – and track consumption to enable showback or chargeback / billing

Self-service ≠ Free-for-all


Option 1: Out of the Box integration with

Tidal Enterprise Orchestrator,

sold together as Cisco

1 You need an intelligent platform, that gives you

state of the art management capabilities

2 Automated provisioning system takes care of server, storage and network deployment

3 An orchestrator understands the architecture and business logic, managing the provisioners

4 For end user storefront, one needs a service catalog and a self service portal.

5 Cisco can provide you each and every tool, or can help you integrate your selection of tools.
