  1. John Bouma Hil Mumma Ari Chakrabarti CUNY Virtualized Unified Communication

  2. CUNY with Unified Communication Private Cloud • IT taking lead to transform communication Challenges Solutions Results • Leverage IT to enhance the quality of employee collaboration experience • Meet growing demand for data center capacity • Lower carbon footprint by lowering power consumption • Increase business agility through IT • Deployed Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) with 4 server blades configured as VMware ESXi Enterprise hosts • Converted CUCM and Cisco Unity Connection from standalone servers to virtualized servers on the Cisco UCS B series Servers Business Value Impact:On Average 35% TCO Savings Over 5 Years Average Total CAPEX Reduction12% 10 HP MCS-7845 servers 4 B200 M1 UCS blades Average Annual OPEX Reduction54%

  3. Average 35% 5-YR TCO Reduction with Cisco UC on UCS Virtualization Platform Cisco UC on UCS 4 B200 M1 UCS blades Storage Area Network (SAN) 12 MCS 7845 Servers 11% Savings 17% Savings 74% Savings 46% Savings 35% Savings

  4. The Problem – Complex, Inefficient, Inflexible • Cause • Overwhelming complexity • Reliance on brittle infrastructure • Effect • >70% of IT budgets just “maintaining” status quo • <30% of IT budgets goes to innovation and competitive advantage Where IT Energy Is Spent 5%Infrastructure Investment 23%Application Investment 42%Infrastructure Maintenance 30%Application Maintenance Business Agility Depends on IT Agility Source: VMware Fortune 100 Customers

  5. CUNY Virtual Unified Communication Setup Multiple UCS B200 Blade Server per chassis Redundant UCS 5108 Chassis FCoE Redundant 6120XP FI Switch Fibre Channel 10Gbps Ethernet Catalyst 6500 Switch SAN Disc Array UC Apps Disc Space

  6. Next Step: Cluster Consolidation Geographic Centralization Deployment with Remote Colleges Hanging off CUNY Central Hosting the Cluster … … WAN/Optical Network … … … … Future Colleges joining CUNY Central Cluster Future College

  7. What is Server Virtualization? Resource Utilization Consolidation Each VM is isolated from other VM on the same server Run multiple VM Hardware Independence Encapsulation …………. .. …… …………. .. …… …………. .. …… Encapsulates entire systems (hardware configuration, operating system, apps) in files Run VM on any server without modification • Cost saving, less cabling, less power for cooling etc.

  8. Server Consolidation VMware BEFORE AFTER

  9. Move virtual machines across physical servers without interruption Preserve transactional integrity during movement Eliminate downtime and provide continuous service Shift underlying hardware resources dynamically Balance workloads to optimize computing resources How vMotion Helps CUNY in DR Scenario ESX Server 1 ESX Server 2

  10. CUNY UC High Availability with Few Clicks What is it? Automatic restart of virtual machines in case of server failure Customer Impact Cost effective high availability for all applications Dedicated stand-by hardware unnecessary Cost and complexity of clustering eliminated X Resource Pool

  11. Architecture Strategy Customer issues to solve: Hardware and Software BLOAT and SPRAWL • High CAPEX of too many elements, with too much HW and SW per node • High OPEX and complexity of managing all these elements • Cisco concern: Cost/complexity limits UC penetration into Very Large and Very Small opportunities Solution = shift to a “Just Enough” Architecture with Orchestration Reduce Sprawl … ReduceBloat … • Why Bloat/Sprawl of Servers: • Redundancy • High Capacity • Customer Geographic / Organizational Separation • Customer Placement Logic Simplify Management
