Data Center Evolution to the Cloud
Cloud Computing
Applications can be turned on anywhere on demand
Application delivery location is transparent to end users
Inter-Cloud Connectivity – Private/Private, Private/Public
Realizing the Full Potential of Virtualization
Creating a closer tie between application virtualization and network
Moving to full north/south, east/west virtualization
Shifting the Focus to Visibility & Manageability
Network management becomes more crucial with virtualization – tools are
needed for effective operations
Connectivity is at risk without proper visibility into the network

Empowering Virtual Emergency Service Networks
 Mapping Applications & Services to Virtual Agency Networks
– Provides granular traffic separation & enhanced control
 Layer 2 VLAN extension across the Virtual Emergency Services Fabric
– Provides any-to-any connectivity
– One-touch provisioning at the Fabric edge – no need to touch the Core
– Create a virtual network in seconds – substantially improving time-to-service
