  2. Virtualization – First Steps Convergence Converge operations (physical and virtual) Converge app & services delivery Converge infrastructure Confidential 2

  3. Virtualization Strategy in Motion - Convergence What Converge Why Converge Because we are heading towards Virtualization Era Hardware, Orchestration & Management • Virtualization80% server virtualizationby 2016 80% How Converge When Converge Better be Open; we do not want another monolithic system Decision based on Workload, ergonomics & operatives. 60% • Space/power/cooling50% companies will have y 2016 Confidential 3

  4. Infrastructure StrategiesIn preparation of a New Era…. NEW! Active Fabric Scale Down Scale Out Scale Up Converged systems Active Fabric Active Infrastructure Confidential 4

  5. With everything being the same ,Scale-out is about Network Fabric Strategies Confidential 5

  6. Challenges in the new Data CenterPhysical and Virtual Networks Physical Server Footprint • Changing infrastructure • Less physical • More virtual • More interfaces • How do you addressthe gap? • New workloads • More east-west traffic • More physical consolidation • More network bottlenecks • How do you optimize? GAP Virtual Server Footprint Confidential 6 New Workloads driving East-West Traffic Internet DataCenter Active Fabric Campus Networking Virtualization scaling & operations • New workloads, additional bandwidth • New traffic patterns require seamless transfers over physical and virtual networks • Infrastructure automation needed for easier configuration & management Physical Infrastructure Consolidation • Servers: 2-socket, 4-socket servers; Bladeservers; VRTX • Storage: Flash/SSD solutions; Dense disk enclosures • Networking: Small-form factor fabric designs, and now… Storage Blade Infrastructure Rack Infrastructure

  8. Analyst Endorse Fixed Form Factor Switching SPINE • Delivers more Performance, Reliability & Scale • Brings down Capexby 30-70% & Opex by 30% LEAF Confidential 8

  9. Fabrics from small-scale to hyper-scale 10000s Servers/VMs Embedded and top-of-rack fabrics Highly-scalable, cost-effective spine/leaf fabrics 1000s Servers/VMs Fabric scale 100s Servers/VMs 10s Servers/VMs Server/VM density Confidential 9

  10. Scale-Out: A new benchmark in fabric economics Active Fabric 77% 59% 86% Average power savings Average Capex savings Time Savings • Industry Leading Power, Cooling & Density: • 77% Less Power* • 79% Less Heat Output* • 59% Less Racks Units* • Uses fixed form factor switches for simple economical scale-out solutions • Optimized for east-west traffic flows, virtualization and convergence • Active Fabric Manager single pane of glass GUI-based management • Automates the design, deployment and monitoring of fabric installations *Versus comparable competitive solutions Confidential

  11. Networks as they say – Software Defined • 70% of all Server workloads will be virtualized ( source : virtualbox counter, IDC ) • 50% of Datacenter workload will be cloud ( source : Forbes.com ) • 80% of the traffic will be E-W profiled ( source: Gartner Synergy Report ) The entire game in this era is about VM’s ….. and networks participate mainstream Software Defined Networks • Traditional mainframe type industry • Millions of lines of code, 5400+ RFCs • Architectural gaps • Management complexities • Open Software • Centralized Control/brain • Merchant Silicon • API based Confidential 11

  12. Case studyIndian training provider leverages SDN to deliver Learning-as-a-Service model • Simplified network complexity delivered through 90 percent reduction in port density “We need an agile partner that is ahead of the market to ensure we remain the leader in providing Learning-as-a-Service solutions. Dell delivered the right technology that would enable us to achieve our goals and to continue to revolutionize e-learning services.” Shivajee Sharma, President and CIO, IIHT Cloud Solutions Pvt. Ltd. • Supports simultaneous learning of 20,000 users through 40 Gbps network throughput • Training curricula expanded due to 70 percent decrease in network management Read the full case study > Confidential 12
