Not even the sky is the limit with Cisco s flexible cloud options. With the Cisco ONE Enterprise Cloud Suite, you can move at your own pace across all layers of your organization. If you want your business to soar and prosper, automation is the essential component for improving your business outcomes. Not just infrastructure automation, but automation across all layers of the organization, especially for the lifeblood of business - your critical business applications. With the right tools to accelerate design, configuration, and on-demand deployment of applications, you can improve time-to-revenue, expand into new markets, and deliver new features for your customers. But many commercially available automation and cloud management products are complex and monolithic. They require extensive technical skills that must be learned over time, and these skills can t be easily replicated across your administrators. With limited data center staff and overextended project lists, successful implementation is often too labor intensive and costly to implement. Cisco ONE Enterprise Cloud Suite provides a better way to manage and automate the lifecycles of your infrastructure, clouds, and applications to accelerate application design, consumption, and service delivery. And the Cisco ONE Enterprise Cloud Suite is designed to help you move at a pace that s comfortable for you. As your organizational experience grows in one area, you can more easily begin automating in another Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. This document is Cisco Public Information.

2 Higher Expectations Leading to Bigger Business Challenges Pressure is increasing on organizations to improve business speed and agility in order to expand into new market and revenue opportunities. Automation at all layers of the business is the essential component needed to achieve the desired speed and agility to capitalize on new business opportunities. Key inhibitors for many organizations are the manual processes and siloed resources that hamper both application developers and IT. These issues slow down operations, inhibiting your organization from taking advantage of new business opportunities. Many of today s commercially available automation and cloud management solutions address part of the problem by automating only virtual resources or proprietary solution stacks. To achieve the speed and agility your business needs, you need to automate across all heterogeneous data center resources. To be effective, any automation solution needs to address these key challenges: Modular automation that allows organizations to absorb new processes and tools Inconsistent delivery of standardized infrastructure resources Manual versus on-demand service delivery Flexible choices for service location End-to-end hardware and software integration that spans current and next-generation applications Modern, easy-to-use user experience designed for multiple users across IT and business services What You Buy Cisco ONE Enterprise Cloud Suite uses Cisco ONE Software for Data Center. These software bundles provide the foundational infrastructure and application automation required to achieve organizational speed and agility. Foundation Layer is designed for customers beginning their automation journey. It automates the provisioning and management of Cisco Unified Computing System (Cisco UCS ) and multivendor computing and virtual infrastructure. It also delivers up to four instances to move out into the hybrid cloud. Enterprise Cloud Suite accelerates the development and deployment of application stacks with their supporting Cisco UCS or multivendor infrastructure resources to implement a hybrid-ready private cloud. This bundle expands infrastructure coverage to include computing, network, storage, and virtualization as well as the capability to deliver virtual network services for the Cisco Nexus 1000V Switch, router, edge, and firewall policies. The Cisco ONE Enterprise Cloud Suite allows businesses to focus on outcomes rather than technology. It does this with: End-to-end hardware and software integration for Cisco UCS and multivendor infrastructure resources delivered within minutes Acceleration of application development and deployment with out-of-the-box templates for Microsoft Windows and Linux application stacks as well as an embedded tool to build custom application stacks (Figure 1) Self-service delivery of current and next-generation application stacks and their supporting infrastructure that can be deployed in private or hybrid environments (Figure 2) Easy-to-use user experience for a wide range of IT and business service consumption on demand as well as lifecycle and budget management of those services (Figure 3) Demand and cost transparency back to the business, leading to potential cost savings 2015 Cisco and/or its affiliates.
