First Let’s Test Your IT Knowledge

1.) According to IDC 2013, which system vendor is 2nd in x86 blades market share in worldwide and here in America?

2.) Which vendor uses over 6,000 blades to run 1000’s of Oracle Databases and the 2nd largest Oracle E-Business Suite deployment?

First Let’s Test Your IT Knowledge

3.) Which system allows you to add an Oracle RAC node in minutes, not hours, days or even weeks?

4.) Which vendor this week has achieved 28 world record Oracle-based benchmarks since 2009?

Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS)

Cisco


DBA’s Have Many Challenges

Responsive to Executive data demands

More work, but flat to declining budget

Policy enforcement

Set up new databases – normally takes hours/days

Availability of applications – effect of HW failures

Testing and upgrading applications

Determine performance limitations But…cannot take data offsite

Meeting spikes in workload requirements Example: Christmas shopping season!


“Data Center revenue grew 10% with order growth rates in the mid-30s. Revenue this quarter in data center had some impact from lower backlog coming into the quarter and the timing of shipments. The pipeline continues to look very strong

and UCS continues to take market share.”

John Chambers February 2014

How Will New Technologies Affect Your Data Center?

Danny Dunn

Cisco Technical Solutions Architect

April 1, 2014


1. Install these templates and supporting files

2. Verify fonts are working (Slide 3)

3. Read “Create a Winning Presentation” (Slide 4)

Quick Start Steps


We use 16:9 aspect ratios for our slides.

The font in this template is CiscoSans. It's embedded on PCs. If you're a Mac user, you'll need to install it.

Keep your files small. These tips will help.

We'll release new template designs every 12 months.

Each new design can be used for 24 months. This template is scheduled to be retired January 2016.

What’s New

http://go2.cisco.com/powerpoints


Do you see the CiscoSans font in both samples below?

Do we have any vision for what we really want to do?

How can we create better synergy among the different products in our units?

CiscoSans Extra Light text is here

CiscoSans Light text is here

Both should look the same. If not, you need to install CiscoSans on your computer.

Sample 1 Sample 2


8 Tips For Better Presentations

1. Tell a story—make them care.

2. Start with what's most important to them.

3. Keep it simple, and short.

4. Use more slides with less on them.

5. Use clear, natural language.

6. Leave time to listen.

7. Tell them what to do next—get them to act.

8. Use our Brand Language principles to help make your presentations simpler, more effective and distinctively sounding like us. Download the guidelines.
