Agenda

Mega market trends

Legacy network limitations

“Application centric”

networking

Improving the operating

model

Call to action


Mega Trends and Network Implications

50 billiondevices will connect to wireless networks by the year 2020

Consumerization of it

At least

10XUp to

increase in network capacity, new wave of business video apps

Bandwidth explosion

70%Up to

workloads will be virtualized by the end of 2016

Changing traffic patterns

3 monthsUp to

to deploy new applications across the network

Provisioning complexity

Notes page on slide 4 needs attention


Legacy Network Limitations

• Architectural limitations not optimized for emerging traffic patterns, volume, scale

• Inconsistent user experience resulting in poor performance across LAN and WAN

• Limited network control inhibits visibility and security

• Dislocation between application, VMs, and network provisioning models (TTS)


Application Centric NetworkingDelivering applications to users

Data center campus Branches Remote/mobile

users


“… traffic flow between servers will increase by an order of magnitude. These new traffic patterns will appear arbitrary and even chaotic, with fluctuations that can be 90-times higher than the traffic peaks experienced by most data centers today.”

Virtualization’s Impact in the Data Center


Virtualization-optimized design

Flatter, Simpler Data Center Fabric Improves Performance

Rack servers Blade servers

Legacy Architecture

Platform and network virtualization

Rack servers

Blade servers

Increase performance

Lower latency

Higher availability

VM Agility

Lower TCO


From Complex to Simple

Less complexity, cabling, cost - more performance, compute, storage, agility

Benefits … 1.2x increase in compute capacity

22x increase in storage capacity

18x reduction in uplinks

5.1x reduction in access ports

9.7x reduction in cables

$5.5M in Capex, $16.3M energy savings/year

Space, power, cooling …


High performance, low latency, highly resilient networking fabric

Optimizing for Cloud in the Data Center

• 10, 40 Gigabit Ethernet

• Resilient, non-blocking

design

• Fabric, I/O convergence

• Workload mobility

• Physical & virtual

visibility

Data center

Design to accommodate an increasingly virtualized environment


High performance WAN routing services

Ensuring Delivery of Cloud Across the WAN

• WAN scaling, performance

• Rich WAN routing services

• High availability, failure

recovery

• Flexible WAN connectivity

• Unified management,

security

Designed to accommodate the explosion rich media/video, bandwidth

WAN, Internet Services


Simplicity, scale, high performance, low latency and resiliency

Ensuring Delivery of Cloud in the Campus

• Converged wired &

wireless

• BYOD flexibility

• Rich media “ready”


securityCampus

Designed to accommodate unified secure access from any device, BYOD


• Converged network

services

• Optimized app

delivery

• Availability,

survivability


security

Branch

Designed to optimized user experience regardless of WAN bandwidth

LAN - like experience across the distributed enterprise

Ensuring Delivery of Cloud in the Branch


Anywhere, device-agnostic, secure, high performance access

Ensuring Delivery of Cloud for Mobile Users

• Secure access for

users/devices

• Unified wired / wireless

• Optimized application

delivery

• Centralized, policy-

based accessDesign to accommodate an increasingly mobile, dynamic user population

Remote/mobile users


Operational silos … coupled with circa 1980 network provisioning model

Cloud Network Provisioning Limitations

3 months to deploy a new application from data center to user

70% of downtime is caused by mis-configuration

68% of organizations cite application reliability/performance as the #1 factor for cloud computing


Network team’s point of reference

Server team’s point of reference

Operational Silos


Limiting scale, time to service, and business continuity

Cloud Networking Take-a-ways

Start today!

Revisit existing network design assumptions

Take an “application centric” end-to-end perspective

- Lots of buzz in the DC - but don’t forget the rest of your

network/users

Significant network/IT improvements can be made along the

way

HP can help!!! (design and build, tailored solutions and

services)
