Why are customers interested in changing Status Quo?

Shared & virtualized infrastructure

Attribute Servers Networking

Provisioning time Minutes Days / weeks

Cost Cost-effective Expensive

Open & Choice Yes Not really

Management Easy /simple Complex / hard

HW Abstraction Yes (e.g. VMware ESX) None / primitive

Customers are looking for

• Programmability & automation - for innovation & agility

• Networking independent of HW, location & topology – for flexibility

• Open – for lower CAPEX

• Simplify IT – for lower OPEX

Best of Networking and Linux come together

Open Networking with Cumulus OS Unified management model for servers & networking

• IPv4/IPv6 routing and bridging

• Modern data center & network orchestration,

unifying common functions, scaling network

specific ones

• Helps reduce OPEX

A multi-platform operating system for networking

hardware that makes building, managing and

automating massive-capacity next-generation

data center networks simple.

VMware SDDC vision aligned with Open Networking A new operational model for the network

Based on same tenets

• Abstract HW and automate operations

• Simplify networking - easy to deploy and run

• Innovate based on collaborating with ecosystem

• Deliver based on open, flexible & industry standard

hardware
