Hastings Deering
 As part of Hastings Deering’s Business Transformation
Program (BTP), a new platform was needed to deliver
the objectives and outcomes identified in the BTP.
 Microsoft Dynamics was selected as the platform to be
rolled out to support 3,000 concurrent users (once
completed) across the region hosted out of the
Brisbane Operational Center.
 A Cisco-based network platform with Nexus 9000 –
with Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI) as the core
– together with Cisco UCS, Cisco UCS Director for
automation was selected to deliver an SDN-based
architecture to support the Microsoft Dynamics
environment.

Deakin University Data Centre Transformation
 A changing Higher Education Landscape has driven a multi
year Data Centre Transformation
Increase in e-learning – MOOCS
Requirement to support remote campus
Researchers requiring new types of services
 One of the first Universities to provide a centralized “shared
services” model
Increased demand on Data Centre services – need for 24x7
on-demand services to service students, staff & researchers
Legacy infrastructure did not satisfy these requirements
 Early adopter of Cisco Unified Computing System & Nexus
(2010)
© 2012 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco PublicPresentation_ID 23
Prior to Cisco UCS and Nexus
 A highly virtualised environment, looking for additional
gains from reducing operational cost and increasing
agility
 Took 8 weeks to deploy new physical servers
 High operational costs to manage physical servers
 Unpredictable costs to deliver new services
© 2012 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco PublicPresentation_ID 24
After Cisco UCS & Nexus
 Transitioned to policy-based compute infrastructure
 Policy-based compute infrastructure moved and prioritised
resources onto IT projects with strong teaching and learning
outcomes
IT has been able to support a move from 700 VMs 1200
VMs, which translates to increased IT demand, all while student
growth has been increasing 5% year-over-year
 While it used to take 8 weeks, it now takes less than 20
minutes to deploy new systems and applications.
 Reduction in cabling, rack space & power and cooling
 Reduction in servers from 350 to 88
 Near-linear costs to add additional capacity
© 2012 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco PublicPresentation_ID 25
What’s Next…
 Research is increasing in importance to University
 Changing macro economic landscape in rural areas putting
pressure on the University to innovate
 Transition Data Centre network to policy based framework
 Looking to gain benefits of increased security, lower
operational costs and rapid application deployment
 Replicate success with server infrastructure to the network
team within the Data Centre today and extend the campus in
the future

Editor's Notes

  • #10: 78%...This network is more critical to delivering the application than ever before (IT impact survey…1300 IT people surveyed in 13 countries around the world)Slide tells the full story of how applications are changing (more types of applications are being introduced, these apps are consumed differently with more business applications being accessed from mobile phones and tablets), and applications are delivered by new methods via the cloud, changing network traffic patterns.These changes make the network more critical than ever before and therefore the network is changing.  In the past year, Cisco as added more application intelligence to the network to ensure high-quality application experience to the users consuming them.  We made the network more application-centric by adding contextual information that can be used by the applications (in-door location based information, user information) and opened the network so the applications can access that information.  We also made the network programmable and simpler so IT spend less time on operational activities and are able to evolve the network with as their needs change.
  • #16: What has been the early feedback and customer adoption for ACI and Nexus 9k?  Is Nexus 9k already in production data centers, and what is the early beta customer feedback on the APIC controller?
