Reshaping the Data Center

Many of us began our data center consolidation journey with the introduction of server virtualization in 2007, leaving the era of before virtualization “BV”. Data center 1.0 “DC01” was the first virtual infrastructure and saw IT organizations virtualize underutilized servers. As hardware and software capabilities have grown and a refresh of DC01 is on the horizon, Tier 1 applications can now move onto this infrastructure. Data Center 2.0 "DC02" introduces high performance unified compute solutions, 10GbE core switching and unified storage that moves beyond simple disk.

IP Pathways is Leading the Data Center Revolution
SM and helping organizations consolidate and virtualize tier 1 applications.

Join us to learn more about consolidation of Tier 1 applications and DC02.
Speakers from leading manufacturers such as VMware, NetApp, Cisco and F5 will discuss the following:

  • vSphere 5 and how VMware’s new virtualization platform enables the virtualization of Tier 1 applications
  • Unified storage and data protection for Tier 1 applications
  • How high performance unified compute solutions are changing the data center infrastructure architecture
  • Load balancing Tier 1 applications within the data center and between data centers
  • Application performance and security
Learn how IP Pathways will change the face of IT and lead the data center revolution in Kansas City! All this and a great steak too!

Imagine Virtually AnythingTM

Collaborating to Deliver the Dynamic Data Center

VMware, Cisco and NetApp have announced an alliance to tackle the complexity that virtualization has brought to the data center. They have teamed up to offer the industry's first end-to-end secure multi-tenancy solution for virtual environments.

Server and desktop virtualization has changed everything and the data center is transforming. We all remember the old distributed computing model with one server per application and desktops and laptops housing critical sensitive data and even applications. The IT infrastructures architected for this old model was built around heterogeneous silos of servers and storgage systems and this resulted in poor utilization and isolated resources.

VMware, Cisco and NetApp now TOGETHER are able to redefine the data center futher by offering a complete end-to-end solution to virtualize the data center. Virtual infrastructure software from VMware, unified storage from NetApp and unified computing solutions from Cisco have come together to deliver more efficiency and reduce costs even further.

  • Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) reduces the number of network switches and integrates compute resources around a unified I/O fabirc.
  • NetApp® unified storage architecture supports multiple protools (CIFS, NFS, iSCSI, FC and FCoE) as well as primary, secondary and archive storage with a single platform.
  • VMware vSphereTM and View 4 provides the platform for infrastructure and desktop virtualization. VMware vCenterTM provides the universal hub to centrally manage all virtualized server, network and storage resources.


This all comes together into a single unified architecture of dynamic resource pools. This unified virtualized architecture allows organization to effectively run everything form mission-critical applications to enterprise-wide desktops.

  • Virtualization of everything allows for consolidation of servers by a 10-to-1 ratio, eliminate 90% of network ports and cables and use up to 50% less storage through NetApp's data deduplication techonogy.
  • End-to-end Ethernet reduces complexity and cost with a tested and proven 10GbE virtualized data center solution. SAN, NAS and LAN traffic can all be supported on a "single wire" without compromising performance or security.
  • Centralized management of server, network and storage resources from a "single pain of glass" within VMware vCenter reduces complexity.
