Cisco Super Session
The Evolving Data Center – past, present, and future
Cisco Speaker: David Yen, SVP/GM, Cisco Data Center
Date & Time: Tuesday, August 28 (3 – 4 p.m.)
Innovation is key for the architecting infrastructures built for cloud computing which demand massive scale, resiliency, automation, agility and security. Cisco believes that customers will derive the greatest value from the tight integration of emerging software approaches with the underlying hardware. Making networks programmable to optimize application performance is a natural evolutionary step for the industry. Cisco's approach encompasses hardware and software, networking and compute and physical and virtual infrastructure. Cisco believes that customers will derive the greatest value from the tight integration of emerging software approaches with the underlying hardware.

Breakout Sessions
A Healthcare Provider's Perspectives on Going Beyond Virtual Desktop Infrastructure with Unified Workspaces
Date & Time: Monday, August 27 (2:30 – 3:30 p.m.)
Cisco Unified Computing System Advantage for Virtualized Environments
Date & Time: Tuesday, August 28 (10:30 – 11:30 a.m.)Experience Hands-On Demonstrations
Cisco highlighted the following solutions at booth # 1213.
| Demonstration | Description |
|---|---|
| Innovations in Server Management | See a demonstration of Cisco UCS Central, highlighting the benefits of Cisco UCS management capabilities, including:
|
| Innovations in Virtual Machine Management | Demonstration of new Cisco Nexus® 1000V features, including vCenter Plug-in, Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN) Gateway, and Cisco TrustSec® |
| Creating Secure Multitenant Environments | Discover how Cisco Nexus 1000V provides scalable network isolation through VXLAN with full integration of Cisco vCloud Director to manage multitenant environments. |
| Cisco UCS Advantage | Test Cisco UCS, and create and apply a service profile to either a physical or a virtual machine (VM) while exploring Cisco UCS Manager. |
| Beyond VDI: Unified Workspace | Cisco UCS Manager will be used to show rapid provisioning and cloning of a virtual desktop on a FlexPod. Cisco UCS uses service profiles to easily create virtual desktops. |
| Virtual Machine Mobility for Business Continuance | Watch a live, three-way Mission-Critical Business Continuity demo, hosted by Cisco, EMC, and VCE. Use the virtual center to migrate a virtual machine (VM) from one location to another and demonstrate continuous operations. |
| Cloud Management for Network Services | This demo shows how a server virtualization administrator can create security policy once for a VM, then help ensure enforcement across the network. Virtual Network Management Center (VNMC) will show service chaining with the Cisco Nexus 1000V, Cisco Virtual Adaptive Security Appliance (vASA), and Cisco Virtual Security Gateway (VSG). VMs will be turned off and moved throughout the data center. |
| Cloud Management and Orchestration | Learn about Cisco Intelligent Automation for Cloud Starter Edition. Find out how to access the service portal to create a request for virtual machines and provision a bare-metal server. This demo will also show how an administrator can create a service catalog, which can then be ordered by users. |
| Secure, Efficient Branch-to-Cloud Access | The demo will highlight branch office survivability, by hosting an application in the data center and branch office server (UCS E) for backup in a WAN failure scenario. |
