Reid Purvis Rob Tappenden Microsoft Cloud meets Cisco ACI CLD23 4

Executive Sponsorship Multi-year investments and commitment in Microsoft and Cisco technology integration focused on compute, network, management Research and Development Unified Computing System (UCS) Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI) CSR 1000V Nexus 1000V & Windows Server 2012 InterCloud Fabric CVDs for Microsoft Fast Track Solutions

Consistent Across virtual and physical infrastructures Open Interoperable, API Secure Automated, compliant Agile Faster, application centric Cisco and Microsoft together deliver: New cloud services for tenants and their enterprise applications A new operational model Policy-driven infrastructure A clear evolutionary path

Increased Agility For Virtual Devices – Faster configuration and provisioning of virtual devices Partial Solution– Embedded support only for virtual devices Operational Complexity – Two networks No Traffic Visibility – Limited troubleshooting Limited Scale – Centralised gateways, sub-optimal traffic flow Physical and Virtual Resources Overlay - Virtual Devices Physical Resources Two Networks Advantage Disadvantage Gateway

One Integrated Network for Physical and Virtual Resources Overlay - Virtual Devices Physical Resources Two Networks Gateway Advantage Highest Agility – Consistent policy across physical and virtual Open – Multi-hypervisor/vendor support Operational Efficiency – Single network Deep Traffic Visibility – Simplified analysis and troubleshooting Highly Scalable – Integrated gateways, optimised traffic flow

Aggregation of end point group health, including: end points contexts bridge domains ports VLAN / VXLAN that are relevant to that particular application health state.

Application behind firewall and Load balancer is having performance issues. Firewall and Load balancers are virtual. Wizard quickly draws a logical topology as well as pinpoint virtual port channel (VPC) issue.

Application running in datacenter needs to access outside and having issues. Used the tool to see a logical topology and identify the issue i.e. packet drops at the interface
