40. Running Oracle over UCS vs Itanium / Power
Para determinar el número de licencias requeridas, multiplique el valor de los cores
físicos por el factor que aplique a su procesador y redondeé
Ejemplo de precios—$47,500 Precio/core Licencia Enterprise
•Intel Itanium 2 o Power8 (1.0) = $ 47,500/core
• HP PA-RISC (0.75) = $ 35,625
• Cisco UCS (0.5) = $ 23,750

45. It is like applying UCS Service-
profiles to your network!
• From a single point (APIC)
abstract network and L4-7
services integration
• It works for both physical AND
virtual environments
• Scale, change, reduce
infrastructure in minutes
• Hardware/Software just a pool
of resources,
policies/configurations are
always enforced
Cisco ACI Value
No Vmotion/VM Mobility
restrictions
•Any hypervisor, no trade-offs!
•Single network to manage (
•No more restrictions due to L3
domains
•Network admins have visibility of
both virtual and physical worlds
without interfering server admin
tasks!
•Keep your physical and virtual
network under the same QoS,
Security, Services and Network
configuration all the time!
Quadruple your bandwidth for
the same price you pay today!
Get 2 Nexus 9000 for less price
than 2 Nexus 5000 and have a
40Gbps network
Also capable of running 1/10Gbps
Who does not want more
bandwidth?
Expand and
Scale Security
•Integrate F5, Splunk, SAP, Azure
and many others into this model
•Integrate Storage and Compute
into this model (future)
•All based on an open-standards
environment anyone can adhere
to!
Provision and change
your network in
minutes!
Move your VMs from

Automate your DC solutions
