Vblock & Nexus 1000V / VSG / vWAAS

Join us to learn about the complementary nature of UCS's unified physical infrastructure and VMware's virtual infrastructure. Roger will discuss current and future integrations between UCS and VMware's management stack, including monitoring, orchestration, and provisioning integrations. We will also review some of the integrations that were presented at VMworld 2013.

As enterprises gain experience with VDI deployed in their core enterprise locations, introduction of VDI into their branch office locations seems to be the next logical step. These locations do not have on-site support personnel making it difficult to update PC’s and troubleshoot problems.

In this session will demonstrate how customers can achieve operational consistency between branch and data center application deployment while still maintaining high availability and optimal application experience for users in the branch office.

Organizations are facing a wave of IT challenges such as increasing budget pressures, operational and physical constraints, and data security. Business leaders are looking for new ways to improve their ability to compete while moving into the virtual world of computing.
During this session you will learn about the Cisco EMC Solution for VMware View on VSPEX. Topics discussed will be; Automated Desktop Provisioning, Streamlined Application Management, Advanced Virtual Desktop Image Management, and Automated Desktop Operations Management. Cisco EMC VSPEX is a simple, efficient, and flexible solution to today’s IT challenge for shared infrastructures.

Business Transformations at Cisco

The very first Nexus 1000V prototype supported open source hypervisors. However, Nexus 1000V supporting VMware vSphere came to market first. Come join this session to find out how Nexus 1000V has gone back to the future in supporting open source hypervisors with OpenStack as the primary management tool. In addition, come find out how Cisco is making VXLAN even easier to deploy without the need for IP multicast in the underlying physical network.

Learn how Cisco and VMware can jointly help you deliver a simple cost-effective VDI solution and the associated value proposition! Join our speakers to gain a greater understanding of how your desktop solution can benefit from a joint Cisco and VMware solution.

Multisite organizations are reducing the number of servers in their branch offices by moving applications and server capacity to the central datacenter. Yet, they continue to place a few essential applications locally because of performance, availability, or compliance requirements. By making use of x86 blade servers, these lean branch offices can lower equipment and operating costs, right-size and simplify infrastructure, and improve hardware provisioning and remote management.

In this session, you will also learn how deploying vSphere in remote office and branch offices can greatly simplify operations through centralized management and control through vCenter. In addition VMware High Availability and Fault Tolerance keep business critical application “always up and running” in the branch. This session will demonstrate how customers have achieved operational consistency between branch and datacenter application deployment while still maintaining optimal application experience for users in the branch office.

You will learn about the Network Analysis Module (NAM) and the Data Center Network Manager (DCNM) which can be hosted on the Nexus 1010 & 1010-X.

You will learn how to access and use Cisco's CloudLab located at https://cloudlab.cisco.com. Several labs are available covering Nexus 1000V, Virtual Security Gateway (VSG), and VXLAN.

In this webinar you will learn how the Cisco's Nexus 1000V, VXLAN, and VMware's vCloud Director are being used to create scalable cloud architectures.

In this webinar you will learn about the latest new features and benefits of the Virtual Security Gateway (VSG) v1.2. VSG is now available as a virtual blade on the Nexus 1010 Virtual Services Appliance. v1.2 now supports expanded VM attributes for security policies. These enhanced capabilities equip security admins with more arsenals to enforce security and compliance in a virtualized environment based on VM attributes such as the host names and resource-pool names.
