The document outlines Cisco's datacenter orchestration solutions, focusing on a new deployment model for IT services that includes resource pooling, workload mobility, and automated provisioning. It discusses the adoption of technology to streamline service delivery, enhance efficiency, and support various cloud deployment models such as public, private, and hybrid clouds. Additionally, it covers the integration of virtualization and orchestration tools to create a scalable and flexible infrastructure while highlighting various products and partnerships involved in delivering these solutions.

New deployment model for IT services and infrastructure
#1 Resource pooling (central management interface)
#4 Workload mobility (moving apps across networks)
#2 Consumption as a service (billing by usage)
#3 Automated provisioning (self-service portal)
Broad capability (specific implementation)
Note on cloud:
Computing resources include applications, virtual servers, storage, processing, memory, network parameters), are dynamically allocated
on-demand, and are provided though a network.

Starter Cloud
Like to experiment with Cloud
Proof of Concept - Need a “quick win”
• Cloud mandate from CXO
• Simple use cases e.g., Dev/ Test
Solution Cloud
Cloud as a delivery model for specific
applications (e.g. VDI, UC)
• Willing to evolve to broader use cases
• Private or Public cloud
• Infrastructure and enterprise apps
Private Cloud
Committed to Cloud for broader IT/app needs
• Ready for Cloud Services as primary IT delivery model
• Multi-use case/apps
• Integrate with existing apps & business processes
• Virtualizing legacy/ mission critical apps
Public Cloud
Need full feature, on-demand
infrastructure and services but have
low service delivery readiness in IT
• Demand Uncertainty
• Need agility & flexibility

• Hardware/Vendor Agnostic
Hypervisor-based Virtualization Cloud tools (typically
VMware/MSFT) install on top of HW
Upgrade your existing and proven VM environment to
Cloud VM with software (and $) only
Reduces the platform vendors constraints around pre-
tested bundles with FW packages to maintain, etc.
• Less complicated
Not turning over control of environment to proprietary
HW/FW/SW packages
Easy to deploy
• Drawbacks
Not prepackaged with vendor
proven/approved/certified/supported bundles
Limited enterprise orchestration and automation
functionality

• OpenStack:
Good buzz, strong popularity
Generally regarded as unstable and lagging in functionality*
• CloudStack:
Owned by Citrix (licensed version is called CloudPlatform)
Recently open sourced through Apache
Generally regarded as more stable and feature rich than OpenStack
• Eucalyptus:
Significant relationship with Amazon; product closely mimics Amazon APIs
Open core** approach unpopular with open source developers
* Numerous sources: Gartner (Apr 3, 2012); Gartner (Sep 14, 2012); InfoWorld (Apr 6, 2012); Network Computing (May 23, 2012)
** Eucalyptus considers most of its platform to be open source, but retains proprietary rights to several key components
Common theme: Requires strong “open source” culture to realize any value
