this morning,’ said Alice a little timidly: ‘but it’s no
use going back to yesterday, because I was a
different person then.’

Traditional app scaling
(“Are you from the PAST?”)

Monolithic applications
Monolithic servers

Moving into the Big Data Era™
(“We can’t stop for gas,
we’re late already!”)

Grid, Beowulf, Hadoop
Divide and conquer, scale
storage and compute
together
Hadoop started putting data
where it needed to be
Applications change, storage changes

Modern platform scaling
Match the compute and the storage to the
application, and not the other way around

Hadoop is great, if you can
re-architect your apps, or
start from scratch
Access to the cluster
transparent only to
native apps
Ain’t nobody got time for that
Modern big data still requires virtual forklifts

What if…
Your cluster provided industry-standard
access methods like NFS
Existing applications could plug right in
with no recoding
New applications could live side by side

With Cisco
Unified Computing System
and MapR
Converged Data Platform…
You can.
Amazing but true.

Cisco UCS
for Scalable Platforms

Hardware Still Matters
A quick glance at infrastructure for Big Data
a.k.a. Why is Cisco here?

Why does hardware still matter?
34
• Cisco customers’ big data pools tend to grow 2-3x/year (or
more… lots more)
• Customer IT staff doesn’t grow as fast
• The Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) provides
scalable, repeatable, predictable, and manageable
deployments across dozens to thousands of servers for any
application deployment
• Pallet to production in hours, not days or weeks
• Deep engineering integration between Cisco and MapR with
tested and proven configurations
More on this later…

Ten years from now, tech industry
historians will remember at least two
things about 2009:
the economic mess and the Cisco
UCS announcement.
If nothing else, Cisco just made the
industry much more exciting than it
was last Friday.
Jon Oltsik, CNet, March 16, 2009
Why Cisco UCS for any hardware deployment?
Ten second edition
• Scalability
• Manageability
• Performance

Ten years from now, tech industry

UCS announcement.

Jon Oltsik, CNet, March 16, 2009
Why Cisco UCS for any hardware
deployment?
 Single point of management and access control
for thousands of servers
 Centralized host/network/storage/lights-out
firmware management built in
 High performance networking at the core
 Flexible network configuration with vNICs for
security and scalability
 Open XML API for automation and third party
integration
 Fully functional remote console (including virtual
media) at no extra cost

Why do these especially matter for highly scalable
platforms?
 Single point of management and access
control for thousands of servers
 Centralized host/network/storage/lights-out
firmware management built in
 High performance networking at the core
 Flexible network configuration with vNICs for
security and scalability
 Open XML API for automation and third party
integration
 Fully functional remote console (including
virtual media) at no extra cost
 Big Data grows faster than most platforms.
Ever added 100 Oracle servers?
 Big Data environments tend to grow 2x-3x
(or more) within two years. IT staff do not.
 More data moving around means heavier
pressure on the network to perform
 New software models may require different
networking and storage
 Larger companies have existing
management infrastructures to work with
 Some vendors nickel and dime for
management features and licenses.
