THE GLOBAL EVENT FOR THE CLOUD AND SERVICE PROVIDER ECOSYSTEM The Benefits VIRTUAL NETWORKING & SECURITY Streamlined data center architecture Lower-cost for networking and security functions Lower-cost footprint (space, power and cooling) Centralized, software- centric management (automation) Portability and increased flexibility Utility consumption THIS… …OR THIS
THE GLOBAL EVENT FOR THE CLOUD AND SERVICE PROVIDER ECOSYSTEM The Trade-Offs VIRTUAL (SW) Software-defined Portability Utility consumption PHYSICAL (HW) Hardware- accelerated Highly scalable Guaranteed performance AGILITY NETWORKING & SECURITY WORKLOADS MORE RESOURCE INTENSIVE VS. APPLICATION WORKLOADS PERFORMANCE
THE GLOBAL EVENT FOR THE CLOUD AND SERVICE PROVIDER ECOSYSTEM Where is This an Issue? Load balancing or other networking and security functions offered as a cloud service. Need to cost- effectively scale and support customer SLAs. High-volume traffic for cloud- based software services. Often requires compute- intensive HTTPS and SSL for the majority of application requests. Competing demands of data center consolidation while maintaining sufficient performance for ERP, CRM, , supply chain, business intelligence, etc. IaaS & Managed Service Provider SaaS & Application Service Provider Business-Critical Enterprise Applications
THE GLOBAL EVENT FOR THE CLOUD AND SERVICE PROVIDER ECOSYSTEM The Challenge Bridging the Performance Gap for Virtual Infratructure Although IaaS, SaaS and enterprise organizations need performance… …the agility and cost-efficiency of cloud and virtualization are becoming just as important
