Technology Trends
Multi Core CPU
Proliferation of vmWare
=> more logical servers out of 1 physical server
Drives larger bandwidth
10 G Adoption
Free by 2H 2009
RDMA’s availability
Low Latency Network
Storage consolidation

Challenges in Today’s Data Centers
Power and Cooling
Inefficient resource utilization
Performance requirements and operational complexity
Increasing demands for availability and security
© 2006 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. 6
Factors Driving Data Center Power Problems Increasing availability of inexpensive high
-density servers requiring more power, cooling and structured cabling than older data centers
Storage, Storage, Storage Increased awareness of terrorism, natural
disasters and vulnerability of commercial power
Operational savings through consolidation of data centers – less real estate
Explosive growth leading to inadequate capacity or infrastructure – upgrades or wholesale replacement of data center equipment
Infrastructure lifecycle mismatch

Power Supplied in the DC CRAC 50%
Server/Storage 26%
Conversion 11% Network
10% Lighting
3%
– Each watt consumed by IT infrastructure carries a “burden factor” of 1.8 to 2.5 for power consumption associated with cooling, conversion/distribution and lighting Source: APC
Where does the Power Go? Losses in power generate heat

Conclusion
© 2006 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. 29
What have been discussed so far Going Green. Many aspects to the answer
– Improvement on server’s Power Efficiency – Unified I/O : NICs, Cabling Reduction – Virtualization of Application Services : vmWare – Virtualization of Infrastructure Services : IP, SAN – Burden factor of 1.8 ~ 2.5
Speeding Up Application Service Deployment – Consolidation/Virtualization will be key – Minutes level service deployment is possible – Automation provides Speed/Flexibility for business
Data Center involves many technologies – Integrated Architecture is required – Box level implementation don’t provide the flexibility/speed
