  3. Session Objectives • Results of Nexus 1000V ROI Study • Demonstrate Online ROI Calculator • Demonstrate ROI Spreadsheet

  4. 100s Are Relying On Nexus 1000V • “The Nexus 1000V simplifies collaboration within the IT department by clearly separating responsibilities for our server group and network group” • Rory Regan, Telecom Manager • “Taking control of the Cisco Nexus 1000V was simplified and intuitive. The process of virtualization of our datacenter will in fact accelerate and we will be able to virtualize everything that has been not possible in the past.” • Julien Mousqueton, Technical Architect

  5. Nexus 1000V ROI Study • Study was co-authored by Cisco and VMware • Baseline assumptions from 20 actual deployments • Source material: • VMware Operational Readiness Assessments • Cisco customer case studies • Lightreading analyst study • VMmark Benchmark Study Two key findings

  6. Key Findings of the 1000V ROI Study 30% apps 30% hours

  7. Virtualize 30% More Applications • Virtualize general compute with a consistent policy workflow from P  V • Virtualize DMZ’s with VLAN isolation, and security policy enforcement with ACL • Virtualize PCI, SOX, HIPAA applications with Netflow, ERSPAN, and port statistics • Virtualize Tier-1 applications with LACP, vPC host mode • Virtualize VDI with DHCP Snooping, Port Security, Dynamic ARP Inspection

  8. 30% Less Hours on vNetwork • With a distributed switch, network change requests take 1 hour per domain rather than 30 minutes per server (for 3 servers that is 30% less hours/yr) • With Nexus 1000V, regulatory and organizational audits take 20 minutes per server rather than 1 hour • With Nexus 1000V, the server admin may offload network configuration to the network admin, this division of labor increases productivity Fewer hours “keeping the lights on” means more hours “innovating”
