Data Centers Today

77%

23%

MaintainValue-Add

• VMs in minutes remainder of infrastructure stack provisioned manually

• 77% of time spent on infrastructure deployment, monitoring, updating and troubleshooting

• Limited time to focus on new services

• Centralized automation and management is key to shifting this ratio towards value-add

• Allows IT to better respond to needs of business

UCS Director and VMware vCloud Suite

• InstallationSingle integrated VM appliance with single data model

“Turnkey” approach to end-to-end management and orchestration

• Manages Physical, virtual and bare metal

Heterogeneous virtualization, compute, network and storage vendor components

No vendor lock-in at any layer

• Model-based orchestration Aware of relationships and dependencies between virtual and physical components and data objects

Capable of adapting to changes in data center infrastructure

• Out-of-Box Task Library Drag ‘n drop capability to build and maintain physical and virtual tasks

• End-User Self-service orchestration of virtual and physical infrastructure

UCS Director• Installation

Integration and configuration required between several software components and data models

“Cobbled” approach to end-to-end management and orchestration

For example: vCloud Director, vCloud Network and Security, vCloud Chargeback Manager, vCenter Orchestrator, vCloud Operations Manager

• Manages Focuses on virtual components – Enterprise Edition required to enable limited physical infrastructure capabilities

Virtualization layer lock-in

• Script-based Orchestration Static scripts that require rewriting when infrastructure changes

Set and forget mentality, lacks ability to track changes to components and data objects within the infrastructure

• Catalog of Script-based Templates No integration between orchestration and service catalog

• End UserNo end-user self-service orchestration of physical infrastructure
