- #10 JHEIndustry leadership:General expertise: storage vs Servers & networking. Core competency is storage with FAS Product line & V-Series in front of 3rd party for NetApp (NetApp) and Cisco UCS servers and Nexus Switches for (Cisco)10GbE leadership – storage / serversFCoE leadership – storage/ servers & networkingNetApp #2 in capacity shipped, growing faster than the market. Unified architecture Multiprotocol w/ single storage OS / unified fabric. Multiprotocol storage architecture - Multiprotocol fabric architectureVirtualization innovationstorage/ servers & networking – together, first secure multi-tenancy solutionSimplified data management - Simplified network infrastructureAPIs to leading management tools. NetApp and Cisco both have a simplified management framework that plug into high level management tools.Storage Efficiency - Compute and Network EfficiencyVirtualization optimized - Virtualization optimizedChange Data Center 3.0 to Data Center Business Advantage
- #11 JHEKey points:Establish for the audience that this will be a transition, and the traditional model will have a place for some time, in most cases at least the next 5-10 years. At the same time, new models provide the opportunity to start the transformation of your data center into the future.Transition:The technology is available today to make this vision a reality…
- #12 JHEKey Point: NetApp and Cisco have introduced critical capabilities to make this data center vision a realityTransitionSo how do these technologies deliver the advanced data center functionality….
- #13 JHEKey Points: The technologies from Cisco and NetApp transform the physical infrastructure into dynamic pools of data center resources creating a shared virtualized infratructure that is flexible and efficient but still retains control and security of a dedicated environmentBuild 1 – Cisco and NetApp technology enables physical devices to be virtualized and abstracted as dynamic resources pool. These resource pools span multiple physical devices to 1000’s of servers and Petabytes of storage. Workloads can by dynamically and non-disruptively moved in the environment. The abstracted environment supports both bare metal and hyper-visor based deployments. Including multiple varieties of hypervisors. Build 2 – Resources are provisioned logically based on service catalogs. The application environments are isolated in this share virtual environment both to ensure data security and service level control while still enabling resources to be dynamically shared across those environments. Something we call Secure-multitenancyTransitionThis environment is ideal for a cloud infrastructure but not all companies are ready to move all of their environment to a cloud….

- #16 JHEThe joint Cisco, NetApp, and VMware design for Secure Multi-Tenancy has been fully documented as a Cisco Validated Design (CVD). This is a major credibility factor because this is Cisco’s formal process for providing assurance that systems and solutions have been designed and tested to facilitate customer deployments. To qualify as a Cisco Validated Design, a design must meet the following criteria:Products that are incorporated in the design are generally available. Deployment, operation, and management of components within the system are repeatable processes. Designs have been validated through system-level testing. As future enhancements are made to the joint SMT architecture, Cisco, NetApp, and VMware are committed to continue this process in order to assure our customers with the highest possible confidence that validation has been addressed.
- #17 JHEPurpose of the slide: Secure Multi-tenancy (SMT) provides secure isolation of resources for each tenant (application, BU, customer) in a shared infrastructure. It provides the control offered by infrastructure silos (isolation, QoS) but with much better agility and efficiency.Key points: SMT takes virtualization to the next level, providing a bridge to cloud computing. SMT provides secure isolation for tenants in a virtualized environment to allow the broad sharing of resources across various applications and tiers of a typical IT infrastructure. It also works very well in a Service Provider model for the separation of customers in a virtualized, shared infrastructure. SMT creates isolated zones, or virtual silos, for each of the three sample applications (tenants) in the slide. Cisco, NetApp and VMware each provide unique capabilities, enabling secure isolation and service levels at each layer and for each tenant. Only Cisco, NetApp, and VMware can provide SMT from end-to-end, from servers to storage. SMT enables secure separation within a shared infrastructure so that users can share more – and save more. SMT increases agility through QoS and mobility. Server, storage and network resources can be moved from one tenant to another rapidly and non-disruptively. Resources for apps, BUs or customers can be scaled up or down, enabling dynamic service assurance for each tenant. Being able to rapidly respond to business needs enables organizations to transform IT from an expense into a strategic assetTransition: Secure multi-tenancy is a great example of how NetApp partners with other technology innovators to provide customers with innovative and integrated solutions for a shared IT infrastructure. Service Automation is another area where partnerships are required to deliver a true best-of-breed solution.

- #28 JHE => SSCSince Support is critical in cloud oriented engagements, Cisco, NetApp and Vmware have implemented a cooperative support model for Secure Multi-Tenancy.This is a global model and it includes 24 hour, seven days a week coverage. A single call can be placed with any of the three vendors and coordinated call routing will take place, should this be required. The Cooperative Support Model defines the process of engagement between Cisco, NetApp, and VMware. Should it be required, any combination of the companies will coordinate a real-time engagement with the customer for resolution.As indicated on this slide, it should be noted that customers do need a valid contract with all three vendors as the basis for this cooperative support model.

- #33 JHE => SSCThe benefits are significant.FlexPod provides you with the data center efficiency you need to drive down both CapEx and OpEx. Because these solutions are optimized for virtualized environments, they will help you lower energy use and facilities costs—while maximizing resource utilization. And because all elements are designed to peacefully integrate with your existing data center ecosystem and management tools, they will also improve your technology ROIWhen it comes to business agility—Flex Pod provides you with a single proven platform that is designed to support a wide range of application workloads and use cases. You’ll be able to utilize an easy to use, flexible BOM configurations designed to help you scale up or out. And, the FlexPod solutions are designed to make it easy for you to transition to cloud computing models.Because these building blocks have been pre-designed ad validated—you dramatically reduce the guesswork and risk involved with new data center deployments. Instead, you’ll be able to grow your infrastructure predictably and quickly. Your data center will have improved resiliency and availability because simplified and cohesive management help you proactively and productively manage your infrastructure.
