Editor's Notes
Age of the Empowered Customer
Smart devices have trained us to expect delivery of products, services & information instantly. Forrester has branded this “internet time”
In business environment, customers expect the same level of near-instant service. When IT does not deliver this, line-of-business managersapplication developers and architects simply have the power and budget to go outside of the organization (shadow IT)
In today’s business environment organizations must deliver their services in the way that customers expect: self-service with rapid delivery
IT Consumption Models are Changing
Application developers/architect expect to receive consistent infrastructure resources quickly. Manual identification and provisioning of resources are no longer sufficient to keep IT able to meet the needs of their customers
If you don’t mention self-service in the previous section, it needs to be mentioned here
Technology Increasing Complexity
In reality, data centers are becoming increasingly complex places and it shows no sign of stopping
IT simply can no longer try to manage these environments manually, on excel spreadsheets or clip boards.
Changes need to be made
KEY POIINT - If you do nothing the challenges outlined on Slide #3 (challenges) will not allow you to reduce costs or have visibility over costs (e.g., Shadow IT, IT Transformation), your ability to meet your LOBs needs in terms of reducing the time it takes to provision IT services will not keep the pace, along with your ability to improve SLAs (IT Transformation, Security and Compliance). As a result, your ability to rebalance the IT budget and invest in Innovation will be compromised and your ability to help the business grow revenue will be negatively compromised.
Collaborating with IDC we know what the opportunity cost is, companies that successfully deploy Private and Public cloud services can derive measurable benefits outlined on the slide. The figures are associated with the highest stage of cloud maturity and represent average values across a large number of organizations IDC profiled.
Cost of IT operations, including technology, services, people, etc.
Agility, such as time to provision IT services for internal line-of-business users
Capability to meet SLAs
Allocation of IT budget and ability to fund strategic versus routine and maintenance projects
Increased revenue, through your ability to help LoB users positively affect revenue growth
Note: This is an important slide to help you guide the dialog with your prospect. It gives you a way to understand their interests and preferences.
Main Point: Cisco gives you tremendous flexibility regarding how you can deploy and consume your Private Cloud solution. Depending on your use case(s) you will have to decide three important elements: (1) Do you need/want to retain ownership of the IT assets associated with your Private Cloud project? (2) Do you want your IT organization to manage your Private Cloud environment? And (3) Do you prefer to keep the data and applications on-premises?
These three elements: IT asset ownership, management of the environment and location of data will ultimately influence the Private Cloud solution Cisco can help you build or buy.
For many businesses, deploying a private cloud environment for all their applications is not necessarily the best path. And IT transformation does not always equal ubiquitous adoption of private cloud in your environment. Furthermore, there are many varieties of private cloud deployment models, including internal private clouds, hosted or virtual private clouds, and managed or outsourced private clouds. Each of these deployment options has very different financial, organizational, and technological implications.
If you want to retain ownership over your IT assets, manage your own Private Cloud and keep the data on prem we can help you build your own private cloud.
Conversely, if you want to retain ownership of your IT assets, and you prefer to have a third party manage your private cloud, Cisco can help you do that depending on your vendor preferences. In this case, your sensitive data remains on-prem. This is particularly important for some customers concerned about data privacy. We offer Managed services offerings and Cisco OpenStack Private Cloud (ex MetaCloud) depending on your use cases.
In addition to that, if you prefer to consume your Private Cloud ‘on demand’ on a pay as you go basis without CapEx we are going to also offer you an option in which we provide your organization with a turnkey private cloud environment …. It is almost like having your ‘public cloud in a box’ on-premises and delivered with a pay as you go usage model …
Hosted and virtual private cloud solutions are also growing in popularity. These models are well suited to support infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) testing and development use cases. With hosted and virtual private cloud solutions, standardized IT services can be efficiently deployed in the public cloud. For IaaS, this single-tenant approach is inherently more secure compared to the multitenant public cloud services that most public cloud providers typically offer.

This is an architecture slide showing how all the pieces integrate and work together to deliver hybrid-ready private cloud. What components are included?
Self-service portal and catalog is Prime Service Catalog
Application Stack Modeling is the application stack design capabilities that are built into Prime Service Catalog and delivered through the Stack Designer
Infrastructure provisioning and management is delivered with UCS Director.
Virtual Network Services (VACS) works in conjunction with UCS Director to deliver fenced containers that are pre-defined to the infrastructure requirements of specific applications
Hybrid Cloud Connectivity comes with Intercloud Fabric. This provides a secure connection between the private and public environments along with API translation allowing customers to better manage their providers. ICF also delivers workload migration between the private and hybrid environment
With PSC and ICF, customers or IT professionals have the ability to identify resources available from Cisco powered ecosystem of partners and purchase them through the self-service portal. In the future, customers will be able to purchase software elements and bring back on-premise into their private cloud environment
In slideshow mode, this shows the:
Service catalog. This is easy to customize (no does not require AS). Service designer module built into the catalog allows customers to create service categories (IaaS, application services, device services)
Next screen shows the child pages behind each category (in this example device services) where the consumer can order the specific service they need
Once the service is ordered, there can be child pages behind that to direct the customer to complete the service (if applicable). In this example, it is a sample of the steps the customer would need to take to initialize and setup their new smart device with IT
Lastly, the ability to track the lifecycle of every type of service they have ordered in a category known as “my stuff.” In this example, the customer can track and complete lifecycle actions on virtual machines both in the private and hybrid cloud environment
Within the service catalog, is am embedded tools known as Stack Designer. This allows architects to create application stacks and convert them from templates into services that can be ordered from the self-service portal. Let’s see how this works:
We begin by defining the name of the template, providing a description and assigning it to a group within the self-service portal categories. In this case we have chosen application platforms. We also assign an icon. Then we choose from a number of pre-defined infrastructure containers that have been created in UCS Director. In this case, we are choosing a generic 2-tier infrastructure container.
Next appears a dynamic software palette that shows the topology of the infrastructure container. We have an application server as well as a database server. From here the architect can install software into each of these infrastructure layers.
Choosing from a drop down box (not shown), the architect designates the specific software he needs to be in each of the infrastructure components. In this case, we have configured tomcat application server and a multi-tier SharePoint database application. We can additional software as needed. <click> To make this an orderable service, we now choose “build service”.
Included with stack designer is the HEAT orchestration engine that we have lifted out of OpenStack. This orchestration engine converts the graphical template into a <click> HOT template which is essentially a text file that describes the elements and the configuration of the application stack that will be used by the orchestration engine to deploy this stack when ordered.
Once converted into a text file, the service is saved and the architect indicates which category the service should appear. In this instance the template is placed under application platform category.
Now the service is ready for ordering on-demand
Ovale software …. Look at Rob’s Slide (homogeneous .. Etc..)
Deepu slides – more providers etc… add other service providers
Application Containers – infrastructure on which to deploy the applications servers, VMs, network and LBs
Add interaction between PSC UCSD/ICF and show APIs
VMware has solution for customers moving workloads from traditional data centers toVMware cloud. Ic enables these same customers to eliminate application change requirements when targeting AWS, or VMware-based or other non-VMware-based workloads and applications for the cloud."
