Existing solutions

• Data Center Centric

• Work with a single cloud

• No broad DC & Cloud support

What is needed?

• Application Centric Platform that spans across Clouds/DC, VM/Physical, Legacy/Web Apps

• Policy driven

• Portable automation

• Embedded Security

Cisco Unique ApproachApplication Profile-Based

App• Single App Profile

across Multi-Cloud

• Graphical App

topology modeler

• Cloud-Agnostic

• Low TCO

• Use native Cloud

Construct

• AWS – Security Group,

RDS, Instance Type

• Cisco – ACI EPG and

Contracts

Workload Optimization


Business Challenge

Under subscription

Expensive resources sit idle

Increased Cost

Over subscription

Customer satisfaction affected

Loss of revenue

You can’t bump applications


Consider the following:

Cisco Workload Optimization Manager (powered by Turbonomic)

Patented Real-time decision

engine that scales infrastructure resources

and workload placement in response to

fluctuations in workload demand.

Assures workload performance

and efficiency

By delivering the right

amount of infrastructure to

workloads to ensure performance

Model the Multi-Cloud as a market

place with principle of supply/demand


What is it NOT?

More Reports

More Alert


Automatable Upsizing

Continuously monitors all VM

resource utilization

Adds CPU or Memory to a running

VM – no reboot or downtime

required

Targeted Rightsizing

Track long-term historical VM resource

utilization

Reduce CPU or Memory allocated to a

VM – during existing maintenance

downtime

Fundamental Capabilities: Scaling


Data Center

Moves workloads to assure

performance, while increasing

density.

Placements abides by business or

license constraints.

Cloud

Placement in public cloud based on

best cost, while assuring performance.

Placements abide by business,

license, or data sovereignty

constraints.
