• Microsoft’s new capabilities in Windows Server 2012 and Windows 8 reduce

costs, improve user experience and significantly simplify desktop virtualization

• Citrix products embrace the Microsoft platform to address many customer

challenges: ᵒ Support XP, Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8 virtual desktops – to smoothen transition

issues/challenges

ᵒ Extend delivery to over 1.5 billion devices – to support consumerization of IT, BYO

ᵒ Support multiple Windows Server versions – to provide flexibility for a phased migration

ᵒ Support Microsoft Private Cloud Infrastructure – to provide scale-up and scale-out

options leveraging the new Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012 technologies

• And Citrix desktop virtualization workloads run on Windows Server 2012 … now!

Leveraging Windows Server 2012 and Windows 8

Microsoft and Citrix are committed to simplifying and accelerating the adoption of desktop virtualization, reducing management complexity and delivering

great customer experiences.

Key Initiatives

• UCS Integration

• Networking Integrations

• Events, Demos

• Cisco Validated Design


Timeline

H1FY13 H2FY13

UCS Use Cases • Easy onboarding of UCS blades into CloudPlatform • “Baremetal as a Service”

UCS Use Cases • On demand installation of XS, vSphere, KVM • UCS Profile extraction and storage • Dynamic Resource repurposing

Events, Demos Jan – Cisco Live, May – Citrix Synergy, June – Cisco Live CloudPlatform + UCS + Nexus 1000v + VXLAN + ASA 1000v + NetScaler

Events, Demos Oct – Citrix Synergy - CloudPlatform + UCS + Nexus 1000v +

VXLAN + ASA 1000v + NetScaler + VSG + vPath

Cisco Validated Design • CloudPlatform on FlexPod

Cisco Validated Design CloudPlatform on VMDC, XenDesktop/CloudPlatform/FlexPod

Networking Integrations • Integration with Nexus 1000v, ASA 1000v, VSG • Integration via VNMC or NSM

Networking Integrations • vPath – configure NS, ASA 1000v, VSG


CloudPlatform - UCS integration

• What: Tighter integration of Cisco UCS blades with Citrix CloudPlatform ᵒ Easy onboarding of new UCS blades for use by CloudPlatform

ᵒ Deployment of OS/Hypervisor image

• Why: Easy, dynamic expansion of cloud resources

• How: Leverage programmability of UCS Converged Infrastructure and

CloudPlatform’s Orchestration


CloudPlatform – UCS integration Architecture


UCS - CloudPlatform Integration Details

• Easy onboard of UCS Blades on CloudPlatform

• Provision and deploy XenServer on Blades

• Using UCS blades as Physical Servers (vs. VMs) – “Baremetal as a Service”

• Extending to more Hypervisor platforms (vSphere, KVM etc.)

• Dynamic Resource repurposing – autonomically, flex resource capacity ᵒ Define threshold where more UCS blades are added or removed automatically

ᵒ Consolidate sparsely used UCS blades to reclaim hosts or repurposing

• UCS Profile extraction and storage ᵒ Allows easy duplication of host configuration when adding a new host to CloudPlatform


Future Integration with Cisco ASA-1000v

• CloudStack will instantiate a separate ASA-1000v per tenant

• CloudStack programs tenant specific FW rules on ASA via VNMC

• All VLAN traffic of the tenant to the public Internet now flows through the firewall
