The Problem – Complex, Inefficient, Inflexible

Source: VMware Fortune 100 Customers

Cause• Overwhelming complexity

• Reliance on brittle infrastructure

Effect• >70% of IT budgets just

“maintaining” status quo• <30% of IT budgets goes to

innovation and competitive advantage

What is Server Virtualization?

Hardware Independence

Run VM on any server without modification

Consolidation

Run multiple VM

Resource Utilization

Each VM is isolated from other VM

on the same server

Encapsulation

Encapsulates entire systems (hardware configuration,

operating system, apps) in files

Cost saving, less cabling, less power for cooling etc.

Customer issues to solve: Hardware and Software BLOAT and SPRAWL High CAPEX of too many elements, with too much HW and SW per node High OPEX and complexity of managing all these elementsCisco concern: Cost/complexity limits UC penetration into Very Large and

Very Small opportunities

Customer Placement Logic

Solution = shift to a “Just Enough” Architecture with Orchestration
