4. © 2010 VCE © 2010 VCE 4 USERS CARE ABOUT THE PERFORMANCE AND AVAILABILITY OF THEIR APPLICATIONS
5. © 2010 VCE © 2010 VCE 5 CHOOSING YOUR FOUNDATION Single Vendor Converged Infrastructure Reference Architecture Vblock Infrastructure Platforms Private Cloud Public Cloud No Infrastructure
6. © 2010 VCE © 2010 VCE 6 CHOOSING YOUR FOUNDATION VCE Stands Alone Converged Infrastructure  Trusted partners with best infrastructure elements  Faster ROI  Optimized for your virtualized apps  Simpler to manage and operate  Lower space and energy requirements  Reduced risk  Unparalleled investment protection

9. © 2010 VCE © 2010 VCE VBLOCK MANAGEMENT LIFECYCLE Pre-Day 0 Build Vblock - Factory • Physical Build Compliance • Logical Build • Compliance to Physical and Logical Build Standards • Validate Customer Order/Requirements Match Build • Install Hypervisor, Bare-Metal OS Day 0 New Add - Component or VM Storage Network Server • Add Component Logical Build & Physical Compliance • Validate & Report System Compliance • Install Hypervisor, Bare-metal OS • Create VM, Install Application Day 1+ Ongoing Operations • Utilization & Capacity • Logging/Alerting • Automated System Software Updates • Report Configuration Drift and Platform Compliance • Asset Mgmt • Performance 9

11. © 2010 VCE © 2010 VCE 11 THE MANAGEMENT CHALLENGE I see Cisco UCS I see everything with VMs and apps I see VMs running on VMware I only see exactly what you’ve defined I see storage I see network I see compute, some apps & VMs I see compute, storage and network I see compute, storage and network UCSM vCOPS vCenter UIM Unisphere Cisco DCNM CIAC BMC CA Storage Compute Network VMware Hypervisor To address this challenge, the answer is not to replace these very rich toolsets, it’s to make them more useful with Vblock Infrastructure Systems

14. © 2010 VCE © 2010 VCE 14 WHAT IF…*
15. © 2010 VCE © 2010 VCE MY QUESTIONS TO YOU: 20 Are you investing as much time and energy into managing your infrastructure as you are into purchasing it? What are your hardware vendors doing to help?? Does your business see your infrastructure a cost, or an asset? How do you, personally, find opportunity in a time when the nature of Enterprise I.T. is changing? HOW CAN VCE HELP?
