Citrix CloudPlatform with Cisco UCS
Short Deck
Challenges of Deploying Cloud
Harness benefits of cloud without disrupting current business models
Legacy systems/architecture can’t respond to changing cloud workloads
Networking-as-a-Service becoming key
Desktop/app virtualization/mobility need efficient cloud access
Cloud interoperability is critical

Reference Architecture
Save time Reduce the amount of time to roll out cloud by using a
predesigned architecture
Do it right Leverage the knowledge of subject matter experts for
design & configuration best practices
Know your capabilities Example scaling data helps you understand the
capabilities of your cloud before you even deploy
