This document discusses private clouds and Cisco's private cloud solutions. It begins with an overview of private clouds and why organizations adopt them. It then outlines Cisco's approach to helping customers make the journey to private clouds through consolidation, virtualization, and automation. The rest of the document focuses on Cisco's private cloud portfolio, including its unified computing, unified fabric, and management solutions. It provides an example customer case study and discusses how Cisco helps deliver elasticity and a hybrid cloud model.

Editor's Notes
- A quick slide to introduce the speaker – not required, but a good way to build some rapport with the audience.
- For CIOs and IT leaders, the breadth of choices in the Cloud Computing space is growing rapidly. These options give businesses choice in how to acquire, build and consume IT services. Cisco is playing a major role in the Cloud Computing evolution by participating in Private Cloud, Hosted Cloud and Cisco Cloud services, all interconnected by an intelligent network that delivers performance, security and availability for the most mission-critical applications.
- The evolution to Cloud Computing (of all forms) is being driven by customer and consumer behaviors. This is forcing iT to rethink how they deliver services to users internally and externally.
- Customers follow a predictable path on the journey to private cloud. There are three general phases that apply to most journeys, identified here as IT production, Business production and IT-as-a-service. Customers typically start the journey by virtualizing test & development workloads to realize cost savings. As customers better understand the benefits and potential of virtualized infrastructure, they tackle their primary IT workloads. When implemented in standard structured fashion, virtualization not only saves money, it improves service levels for all workloads. As customers approach fully virtualized data centers, they can realize significant cost and agility benefits and transition to IT-as-a-service; a fluid elastic infrastructure that is cost efficient, easy to manage, and transforms IT from a perceived cost center to an enabler of the customer’s business.We tend to break down the Journey to a Private Cloud into three stages. The first stage is focused on Consolidation and cost-savings. It typically addresses inefficiencies in IT resources, Dev/Test and older systems. The next stage focuses on business applications and production environments, with improved business agility being the highlighted goal. The third stage brings greater levels of automation to the entire system, allowing IT to truly offer IT-as-a-Service to internal and external customers. This final stage is often targeted as moving IT resources from “maintenance” tasks to driving greater levels of innovation for the business from IT.It’s important to note that these stages aren’t always linear. Some customers are already on the journey, while others are addressing elements of this in parallel.
- As businesses proceed down the journey, we are frequently seeing several transition points. In the consolidation phase they are focused on having a unified, consistent foundations to build new services. This involved unifying their network fabric (LAN/SAN), creating a unified fabric. As businesses move from stage 1 to stage 2, focused on Business production, they often hit a ceiling at around 25-30% virtualized where they need to rethink their organizational models and IT processes. Virtualization blurs the line between IT organizations (Storage, Compute, Networking, Applications). It’s usually at this stage that customers stop thinking about virtualizing their environment and start thinking about building a “private cloud”, with process and skill-sets that better align with cloud models. Cisco UCS is an excellent way to help unify IT operations because of the way that it integrates Compute, Network and Storage into a unified system. As IT organizations transition to cloud models, they often roll-out self-service portals and service templates that make it easier and more consistent for users to access IT services. This automation frees them up to work on other projects which can drive new value for the business.

- Cisco’s strategy is very straight forward and draws upon our depth of experience in the internet and networking. In cloud computing we focus on three types of customersProvide the essential building blocks, architectures, and integrated systems for CUSTOMERS BUILDING CLOUDS(these are our core switching and routing products, our network services, and unified computing systems which radically simplifies the building the cloud-based infrastructure)Work with best-of-breed partners, to provide fully-tested, complete SOLUTIONS FOR CUSTOMERS DEPLOYING CLOUD SERVICESFor these customers we’ve worked closely with EMC, Vmware, BMC, NetApp, Redhat and others to deliver complete solutions which can dramatically shorten the time for a service provider or enterprise simply start to deploy cloud servicesAccelerate adoption of cloud computing for CONSUMERS AND BUSINESS USERS to collaborate and securely access cloud servicesWe strong believe there is a shift happening whereby users want to access services through a variety of different devices not just their desktops. - telepresence, tablets, virtual desktops, all using the networkWe believe these pillars work together provides a way for Cisco to best serve it’s customers in their journey to the cloud. While everyone talks about how easy it is to use cloud computing, little is said about how non-trivial it is to build clouds. Cisco’s approach directly addresses this issue by providing higher-level building blocks for cloud providers, either public or private.
- Cisco’s Enterprise Private Cloud portfolio is built on a modular architecture which allows customers to migrate to cloud models at a pace that fits their business needsIntegrated Computing Stacks: Vblock, FlexPodBusiness Application Solutions: Tier-1 Application, VDI, VXIUnified Data Center Networking: Unified Fabric, Unified Network Services, Unified Computing
- Cisco sees cloud adoption as a journeyThe journey starts with increasingly capable pubic cloud services and private cloud platforms for the enterpriseFrom there, new APIs and protocols, virtual private clouds services, hybrid cloud capabilities and open standards for cloud will appear and evolve over timeThe eventual goal, from Cisco’s perspective, is an open, public cloud networking infrastructure, which we call the Inter-Cloud
