The document discusses how Cisco UCS can improve datacenter economics and lower total cost of ownership (TCO). It provides statistics showing the high costs of servers, power, and management in datacenters. Cisco UCS aims to reduce TCO by simplifying infrastructure, improving server and resource utilization through virtualization, and reducing ongoing administrative costs through unified management. Real-world customer examples demonstrate reduced costs, improved performance, and payback periods of less than one year through Cisco UCS solutions.
Industry leaders Cisco, NetApp, VMware and Symantec have teamed up to develop a best practice framework and performance benchmark based on the VMware vSphere® Storage APIs - Data Protection (VADP). The test configuration uses the popular NetApp FlexPod environment, and the result proves that you can easily protect over 4 TB of virtual machine data per hour. And improved backup performance creates more reliable backups, shorter backup windows and less impact on the vSphere infrastructure.
In this session, we will show how these performance numbers can be easily obtained with minimal hardware and a small budget. In addition to backup performance, we will also discuss restore performance considerations.
Key topics include:
• How to select the correct hardware for the best ROI
• Strategies for minimizing backup impact and maximizing backup throughput
• Performance characteristics of VADP
• SAN or NBD (network) transports: which is recommended?
• Configurations for the fastest possible restores

Some key benefits highlighted include increased efficiency and automation through unified management, improved performance through flash-optimized storage and workload analysis, and lower costs through optimizations that reduce hardware needs by up to 50% while maintaining or improving performance. The solution aims to simplify deployment and management of infrastructure while accelerating applications.
1. The document discusses Microsoft's data center strategy and optimization efforts to improve performance per watt, dollar, and reduce total cost of ownership.
2. Key aspects of Microsoft's strategy include modular pre-fabricated data center components, increased server and data center efficiency through workload analysis and low power processors, and reducing infrastructure costs through techniques like high-temperature cooling.
3. Microsoft has invested over $500 million to build large, efficient data centers like its Chicago facility, and is working towards new designs with no mechanical cooling and ultra-modularity to further reduce costs and increase scalability.

Part 2 Deep Dive: Navigating the 2024 Slowdownjeffkluth1
Introduction
The global retail industry has weathered numerous storms, with the financial crisis of 2008 serving as a poignant reminder of the sector's resilience and adaptability. However, as we navigate the complex landscape of 2024, retailers face a unique set of challenges that demand innovative strategies and a fundamental shift in mindset. This white paper contrasts the impact of the 2008 recession on the retail sector with the current headwinds retailers are grappling with, while offering a comprehensive roadmap for success in this new paradigm.
Company Valuation webinar series - Tuesday, 4 June 2024FelixPerez547899

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

It installs within 20 minutes or less through a virtual machine and single OVA file. Within one hour of installation, it begins to provide specific actions to improve performance. Over the next 72 hours it completes a full demand to dully the demand pattern of workloads. At the end of the 72 hours, it provides actions that will improve efficiency, such as right sizing virtual machines or cloud instances.
WOM includes full stack visibility to help data center staff understand its decisions, but the goal is to elevate people from the routine tasks of workload management. WOM operates in real time, to continuously ensure predicable performance across the IT environment.
With decision-automation, resources and infrastructure can be dynamically adjusted based on real-time workload demand.
But these are extremely complex decisions at scale.
Let’s consider the demands of the workload—they have to be performant (which means getting the resources they need when they need them), they should minimize costs (don’t use more resources than they need), and they have to be compliant (licensing, data sovereignty, affinity/anti-affinity, etc.)
These are all tradeoffs that have to be made in real time all the time. The only way to be successful here is if workloads can self manage (because no human can make these tradeoffs at scale and in real time).
Workloads need to make the decisions and these decisions come down to:
Initial Workload Placement
Increase Resources
Decrease Resources
Move Workload
Retire Resources
In other words, placement, scaling, and capacity decisions.
How do you automate decision-making so that the stack can dynamically adjust to changing demand? So that workloads can make those tradeoffs?
You need the right abstraction so that the very real interdependences between workloads and across the stack are captured.
You need analytics to make the right decisions
And you need automation to execute those decisions—to execute the right placement, scaling, and capacity actions at the right time all the time.
WOM abstracts relationships in the stack into a market of buyers and sellers
It’s analytics use economic principles—specifically supply, demand, and price—to make the right decisions.
It works through the APIs of what’s already in your environment to pull the data to make those decisions and execute them.
This is all about making sure that workloads get the resources they need when they need them.
Let’s dig into why we need to automate decisions—what’s the difference between process automation and decision automation?
When you just automate processes, problems are typically address after alerting—it’s reactive.
It’s also more labor intensive and we’re operating in a world where more data is just more noise.
By adding decision automation problems can be addressed before alerting—it’s preventative.
There’s little to no human intervention—again, because software is able to make decisions.
And, because software can scale with massive environments and massive amounts of data, more data means better decisions (not more noise).
The most important difference is that when you add decision automation you can drive the environment towards continuous health—software can continuously determine what needs to be done when to drive performance, efficiency, and compliance at scale in dynamic environments.
NJ1\Production-NJ1: 3/20 Health
The goal of enabling placement automation in this cluster is to safely drive up the underutilized hosts and drive down the highly utilized hosts so all workloads get the resources they need when they need them
CWOM has identified 52 placement decisions that need to be taken to deliver QoS
Unlike DRS, CWOM analyzes the impact and outcome of each decision assuring it’s a net positive impact on the environment (assuring each placement move has enough capacity at the end destination and assuring the other vm’s are not negatively impacted a well).
In this planning exercise, CIT simulated the impact of the Spectre patch in the 04_05_06 VDI cluster which caused the demand to increase by 30%.
Allowing software to make placement decisions in real time will assure performance and keep the utilization ≤ 80% (CIT’s targeted state)
Noticing risk to QoS and compute (mem/cpu) storage io causing latency, peaking
