On-Premise Data Center - Validated Architectures for the Enterprise


NetApp FlexPod

Business leaders are laying out clear mandates for their IT departments as they navigate the current economy. IT infrastructure has to consolidate to save energy costs, and it has to host more applications, share resources across different departments, and become more secure. Chief information officers (CIOs) translate these requirements into fewer data centers and consolidated server, networking, and storage resources that can host multiple applications shared by diverse departments. They want IT to operate as a service, like large public service providers.


Cisco and NetApp have developed the FlexPod platform to meet these demanding requirements. FlexPod is a data center platform that hosts infrastructure software and business applications in virtualized and bare-metal environments. The platform has been tested and validated across

leading hypervisors and operating systems from VMware, Red Hat, and Microsoft and can be managed by FlexPod ecosystem partner software.


FlexPod combines servers, storage resources, and the network fabric to create an agile, efficient, and scalable platform for hosting applications. FlexPod allows hardware to be abstracted into service profiles, resulting in a very agile platform. The platform is configured and tested with industry-leading virtualization and native OS environments using the Cisco® Validated Design methodology. The resulting design guides are used by FlexPod partners and Cisco and NetApp service teams to deploy the platform across many different industries. FlexPod is delivered with a unique set of programmable interfaces that allow automation of deployment, fault monitoring, and use-based billing.


FlexPod components

FlexPod builds on the core capabilities of both the Cisco and NetApp portfolios of industry-leading products:

  • Cisco Unified Computing System™ (Cisco UCS™): Deploys high-performance, expanded-memory server architecture
  • Cisco Nexus® switching: Converges Fibre Channel and Ethernet on a unified 10 Gigabit Ethernet fabric.
  • NetApp storage: Provides storage access through Network File System (NFS) and Common Internet File System (CIFS) using Small Computer System Interface over IP (iSCSI) or Fibre Channel over 10 Gigabit

Cisco Validated Design Using Cisco UCS Mini and Nimble Storage CS300

SmartStack integrated infrastructure from Cisco and Nimble Storage enables you to deploy, manage, and protect an entire remote solution from your central data center. It allows you to increase the efficiency of your employees and IT staff at an affordable price without compromising performance, while also proactively improving reliability.


This SmartStack solution, using Cisco UCS® Mini, Cisco Nexus® switches, Nimble Storage® CS300, and VMware vSphere (Figure 1), is well suited for midsized businesses that want a single, scalable platform on which to deploy their virtualized applications. This solution is also excellent for remote-office and branch-office (ROBO) deployments and for enterprises seeking smaller integrated infrastructure solutions for specific departmental or line-of business needs.


The solution allows you to quickly deploy and scale enterprise-class infrastructure. It enables you to start small and use modular building blocks to incrementally scale either capacity or performance or both as your business needs dictate. And it allows you to simplify by standardizing on a consistent platform, helping reduce management costs and the risks associated with ad hoc deployments.


With SmartStack, you can support all your applications and workloads within the same integrated infrastructure solution. This approach effectively eliminates the complexities of siloed architectures and dramatically reduces both cost and complexity while optimizing application performance. SmartStack enables you to create pools of resources that can be deployed dynamically as business requirements dictate. This capability further reduces cost and complexity, and ultimately makes your business more responsive. SmartStack has significantly fewer network components, cables, interface cards, and management points than traditional integrated infrastructure. With fewer devices to purchase, manage, power, cool, and maintain, SmartStack solutions dramatically lower your total cost of ownership (TCO).
