White Paper
December 2015

Infrastructure as a Service Enables Business Speed and

Agility
IaaS helps you create a business that can quickly adjust to changing market forces.
It helps you to build an IT organization that can:
Remain flexible to quickly align business and IT objectives
Optimize budget allocation and investments by simplifying and automating core IT
processes
Quickly deliver and demonstrate business value without compromising security
and while managing risk in compliance with laws and regulations
Help transform the business by unveiling new revenue streams, creating new
business processes and new business models
Assume the role of broker of IT services when appropriate, recognizing the
benefits of adopting best-in-class capabilities to remain competitive even if
gaining these benefits requires you to outsource portions of the IT value chain
The Gartner IT Glossary defines IaaS as follows:
Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) is a standardized, highly automated
offering, where compute resources, complemented by storage and
networking capabilities are owned and hosted by a service provider and
offered to customers on-demand. Customers are able to self-provision this
infrastructure, using a Web-based graphical user interface that serves as an
IT operations management console for the overall environment. API access to
the infrastructure may also be offered as an option.
Rather than outsourcing these capabilities, many organizations are implementing
them in their own data centers to gain the flexibility and agility of self-service, ondemand provisioning of both physical and virtual infrastructure. Cisco UCS Director

delivers exactly this capability. Products such as HPE OneView, claim to deliver IaaS
but fall short in the following ways:
Limited automation capabilities with no self-service
Limited support or guidance for specific application stacks
Support for only one hardware vendor (HPE) when organizations want to
automate the entire data center
Limited integration with operations tools even within all HPE products
As this document demonstrates, Cisco UCS Director is much better suited than
OneView to help you deliver IaaS to your clients.

Cisco UCS Director Delivers IaaS

Cisco UCS Director was designed for IaaS. It automates IT processes, providing
a single point for self-service from which you can automate and orchestrate your
IT infrastructure, including computing, networking, and storage, with physical and
virtual resources treated equally.
HPE OneView is an excellent tool for deploying many of HPEs hardware solutions.
However, OneView is really an infrastructure management tool, not an IaaS delivery
system, despite the marketing claims. Table 1 summarizes some of the critical IaaS
capabilities of Cisco UCS Director and the limitations of OneView.
HPE has announced the availability of HPE Synergy in the second quarter 2016.
OneView is embedded in the Synergy Composer appliance. HPE has described
Synergy as a private bare-metal cloud. Although this description sounds
appealing, Synergy Composer supports only the HPE hardware managed under the
domains in the Synergy platform. If you are already using OneView today to manage
your HPE BladeSystem, ProLiant DL servers, or ConvergedSystem products, you
will have to license Synergy Composer separately. In addition, Synergy Composer
will not work in conjunction with your existing OneView software, because there is
no way to federate the separate islands of management. Synergy Composer and
OneView do not provide the essential IaaS capabilities that Cisco UCS Director
provides with one license.

Orchestration and Automation

Cisco UCS Director offers stronger orchestration and automation capabilities than
OneView.
Broad Orchestration Capabilities
Cisco UCS Director comes with a large task library with more than 1500 automated
tasks and more than 100 preconfigured workflows. The task library provides lowlevel, or atomic, actions that you can quickly assemble to create higher-level
workflows that deploy, configure, and manage your infrastructure. You can use
workflows immediately or publish them in an infrastructure catalog to be used by
system administrators or clients for on-demand infrastructure provisioning. Specific
workflows can be assigned to an entire organization or to specific groups based on

your organizational structure. User authentication and authorization information can

be imported from the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) service.
Tasks and workflows automate the configuration of all hardware infrastructure layers,
including computing, networking, and storage (Figure 1). You can provision baremetal servers, add virtualization layers, and add your chosen operating systems.
You can also provision virtual and object-based storage configurations. Cisco UCS
Director lets you test workflows, and it is designed so that workflows are completed
successfully or not at all. The drag-and-drop workflow designer tool eliminates the
need for service engagements or the need to bring together multiproduct solutions
or third-party adapters.

Extensive Automation Capabilities

After workflows are created by your subject-matter experts, the policies
implemented with these workflows automate the entire application lifecycle,
including resource allocation, provisioning, monitoring, and management. This
automation greatly reduces the amount of time required before you start gaining
value from your deployments.
Cisco UCS Director maintains a faithful representation of every component and
its relationship to other components. At installation, Cisco UCS Director conducts
a discovery of physical and logical infrastructure components that is updated
every 15 minutes and recorded into a model stored on a virtual appliance. The
customer-configurable discovery process records changes, moves, and additions
of new infrastructure. Any workflow that you can perform on the physical or virtual
infrastructure can be first tested against the model to validate the configuration,
helping eliminate potential disruption from human error. When processes are
established, consistency and compliance is essentially assured, and configuration
drift is nonexistent.

Although OneView automates deployment of some of HPEs product portfolio, Cisco

UCS Director comes with a toolbox of predefined tasks that you can combine to
create workflows that not only direct Cisco UCS to apply Cisco Unified Computing
System (Cisco UCS) service profiles, but also to provision other third-party servers
in your data center, access-layer switching infrastructure, storage configuration,
and operating system and hypervisor configuration. With this approach, your entire
infrastructure is provisioned according to the policies that your subject-matter
experts define. And after you have created these workflows, you can use them over
and over to automate deployments, saving both time and money (Figure 2).
Limited Orchestration and Automation with HPE Software
In HPE software, to accomplish the orchestration and automation tasks that are
integral capabilities in Cisco UCS Director, you need to augment OneView with
HPE Operations Orchestration software. This software manages only a subset of
HPEs hardware productsnot the entire product portfolio. HPEs orchestration uses
templates that can be applied to hardware components, instead of workflows that

allow the entire deployment and management processes to be automated. HPE

software does not orchestrate the establishment of virtualization layers, leaving that
process as a manual task. Also, OneView does not support installation of operating
systems on your platform. For that, you must install HPE Server Provisioneryet
another software bundle that you need to purchase, install, configure, and manage.
The HPE Image Streamer option will be available when the new HPE Synergy 12000
system ships in 2QCY16. This option works with Synergy Composer to configure
private-cloud-ready images for VMware ESXi and Docker-enabled Linux images
on Synergy systems only. HPE, in its HPE Synergy Composer QuickSpecs, makes
these claims:

Image Streamer provides a highly-available appliance pair that can capture/

edit/store images, create stateless boot images, and deploy or update compute
modules quickly. Profiles are combined with golden images and personalities
for stateless operation. Stateless boot images are stored in an image repository
for fast implementation onto compute hardware at any time. These stateless
capabilities can deploy and/or update multiple compute nodes with extreme
speed.

Automating Big Data Deployment

As you consider big data solutions to meet your growing data and business needs,
operational challenges can emerge. Despite the compelling business advantages,
Hadoop clusters can be difficult, complex, and time consuming to deploy. Moreover,
with the volume of your data increasing rapidly, you need to find efficient ways to
consistently deploy and scale your cluster.
Cisco UCS Director greatly simplifies this process with a single-touch solution that
automates deployment of Hadoop on Cisco UCS Integrated Infrastructure for Big
Data, a predefined converged-infrastructure solution from Cisco created and tested
specifically to meet the needs of big data environments. It also provides a single
management pane across both physical infrastructure and Hadoop software. All
infrastructure components are handled automatically, with little need for user input.
Through this approach, configuration of physical computing, internal storage, and
networking infrastructure is integrated with the deployment of operating systems,
Java packages, and Hadoop along with the provisioning of Hadoop services.
Cisco UCS Director is integrated with industry-leading Hadoop distributions from
Cloudera, MapR, and Hortonworks. It complements and communicates with Hadoop
managers, providing a systemwide perspective that enables administrators to
correlate Hadoop activity with network and computing activity on individual Hadoop
nodes.
No Big Data Support with HPE OneView
OneView does not help you deploy or manage HPEs big data solutions. It also does
not support HPEs primary big data platforms: HPE ConvergedSystem 500 (CS500),
CS900, and CS300 for Microsoft Analytics Platform (CS300 for APS). HPE offers
software that is licensed separately and is completely decoupled from all its other
management software.

Private and Hybrid Cloud Deployments

Today, most IT organizations are expected to support private and hybrid clouds.
Cisco UCS Director helps enable you to create a private, multitenant IaaS cloud.
When Cisco UCS Director is used as part of the Cisco ONE Enterprise Cloud
Suite, Cisco Prime Service Catalog and Cisco Intercloud Fabric transparently
extend private cloud workloads, on demand, to public or provider-hosted cloud
environments. To protect your business governance policies and meet servicelevel agreements (SLAs), Cisco Intercloud Fabric delivers highly secure and flexible
workload placement across any hypervisor or service provider, extending to the
public cloud the same network security and access control policies that you have in
your private cloud.

The result is secure and elastic cloud capacity, lower costs, and fast access to
resources. With private, public, and hybrid cloud environments, you have the
flexibility to source IT services based on your business needs, IT requirements,
and desired consumption models. With Cisco ONE Enterprise Cloud Suite, your
organization becomes a broker of services, with the capability to oversee workload
movement, application management, security, and compliance across private and
public cloud domains and deliver the desired business scalability, cost-effective
benefits, and innovation.
No Support for Private and Hybrid Cloud Deployment from HPE OneView
OneView does not support private or hybrid cloud deployments. If you choose
to support a private or hybrid cloud with HPE software, you have two choices:
OpenStack or Microsoft Azure. With that limitation, you have several more software
products to license and deploy.
HPE CloudSystem Foundation is the HPE product for basic private cloud IaaS.
CloudSystem Foundation is based on Helion OpenStack. OneView is not included in
HPE CloudSystem Foundation. You must upgrade to HPE CloudSystem Enterprise,
which includes HPE Cloud Service Automation, to have even loose integration with
OneView.

Heterogeneous Infrastructure Support

A management solution that works with only a limited portion of one vendors
products in your data center has many restrictions. An IaaS and orchestration
solution needs to work with most, if not all, the infrastructure in your data center.
Cisco UCS Director has broad support for both Cisco and third-party hardware,
including:
Industry-leading hardware and virtualization vendors
Servers: HP, IBM (Lenovo), and Dell
Storage: EMC, Hitachi, IBM, NetApp, and Nimble Storage
Operating systems and virtualization: VMware, Microsoft, Citrix, and Red Hat
Different platforms
Cisco UCS Integrated infrastructure, also known as converged infrastructure,
which is a packaged solution consisting of server, networking, and shared
storage as a preintegrated stack, including:
--FlexPod: Cisco UCS and NetApp FAS storage
--VCE Vblock: Cisco UCS and EMC storage
--SmartStack: Cisco UCS and Nimble Storage Adaptive Flash storage
--VersaStack: Cisco UCS and IBM storage
--Hitachi Unified Compute Platform (UCP): Cisco UCS and Hitachi storage

networking, and storage resources that are primarily software defined:

--SimpliVity: Cisco UCS with SimpliVity OmniStack
--Springpath: Cisco UCS with Springpath Data Platform
The entire Cisco UCS server portfolio
Cisco UCS B-Series Blade Servers
Cisco UCS C-Series Rack Servers
Cisco UCS M-Series Modular Servers (Cisco Composable Infrastructure)
Cisco UCS C3260 Rack Server (Cisco Composable Infrastructure)
Cisco UCS Mini
Cisco networking products
Cisco IOS Software switches, Cisco Nexus switches, Cisco Application Centric
Infrastructure (Cisco ACI), and Cisco MDS 9000 Family multilayer switches
Not only does Cisco UCS Director support the automated provisioning and
management of these platformsit also integrates at a deep level to help ensure
proper and consistent provisioning, security, and management of your resources.
When Cisco UCS Director is deployed, it creates an inventory of every component
in its sphere of control. When new components are added, they are automatically
placed in a resource pool.
HPE OneView Supports a Limited Portfolio
You should not confuse HPE OneView with HP OpenView, the monitoring product
that HPE acquired. OpenView was designed to be open, as the name implies. It
supports HPE as well as a wide variety of third-party servers and network devices.
OneView focuses on managing a limited environment. It provides support for only a
portion of HPEs server, storage, and converged infrastructure portfolio. If you want
to configure third-party infrastructure, you need to use other HPE products, such as
HPE Server Automation Virtual Appliance (SAVA). OneView also makes a distinction
between the products and models that it can manage and those that it can only
monitor. Cisco UCS Director has no need to make this type of distinction, because it
can manage and monitor all the platforms it supports.
According to documentation that has been released, Synergy Composer supports
only a very limited portfolio: the Synergy platform and external HPE storage
arrays. As reported by Forrester, a Synergy management domain can include up
to 20 chassis, and the Synergy resource domain can include external storage
arrays (Forrester blog, HPE Transforms Infrastructure Management with Synergy
Composable Infrastructure Announcement, December 1, 2015).

Self-Service Provisioning
Cisco UCS Director provides a self-service portal (Figure 3). This critical component
allows clients to actually request infrastructure as a service in both private and
hybrid cloud deployments, as well as to request infrastructure as bare-metal

Figure 3. The Self-Service Portal Gives Users What They Need with a Quick Response

servers, virtual machines, services, and applications. Administrators can establish

an orchestration workflow as a catalog item in the service portal. Users can request
infrastructure through the portal and can customize the request to fit their needs.
Cisco UCS Director can add approval and budget validation steps to the ordering
process if needed. The provisioning workflow includes the following stages:
Initiation: Initiate the service request.
Resource allocation: Allocate the resources required for physical or virtual
machine, network, and storage provisioning.
Approval: The request is sent to an appropriate authority for approval, depending
on whether it is part of the workflow.
Provision: The infrastructure is provisioned.
Set up lifecycle schedule: The availability and termination time of the
infrastructure resources are scheduled.
Notify: An email notice is sent to the user stating that the infrastructure has been
provisioned.
Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure Integration
When you use Cisco UCS Director to manage Cisco ACI, you get application-ready
infrastructure that makes better use of your IT resources, reduces time to revenue,
improves compliance, and quickly aligns IT infrastructure with business operations.
Cisco UCS Director enables you to define an application container through the APIC.
This controller uses your policies to create a secure tenant environment to contain
the application, endpoint groups to contain application components, and contracts
to enable communication between them. After the network environment has been
prepared, Cisco UCS Director provisions the physical and virtual computing and
storage infrastructure that resides in the application container. Cisco UCS Director
can facilitate final provisioning by initializing storage volumes with appropriate golden
images. With point-and-click simplicity, you deliver application-centric IT IaaS
through a single interface (Figure 4).
Open XML API and REST API for Integration with Other Management Platforms
Cisco UCS Director has an open XML API and a REST API that can be used to
access the capabilities of Cisco UCS Director with higher-level management
platforms. These APIs can also be used to extend the capabilities of Cisco UCS

Fuel Your Business with Accelerated and Agile IT

OneView was never intended to provide IaaS, and although Synergy will come
close, it supports only the Synergy platform. You can get capabilities similar to
those that Cisco UCS Director provides if you want the complexity and expense of
combining OneView with SAVA to support third-party infrastructure, and Operations
Orchestration to provide orchestration. Because these management solutions were
not designed to run together, they are not tightly integrated. Rather than delivering
IaaS, you can end up integrating tools.
Cisco UCS Director enables you to deploy IaaS in your data center. This capability,
in turn, makes your IT organization far more responsive to the demands of the
business. Cisco UCS Directors unique orchestration and automation capabilities
with support for most leading enterprise platformsallow you to align business and
IT objectives and optimize budget allocation and investments by simplifying and
automating core IT processes. You can quickly deliver and demonstrate business
value while maintaining security and managing risk in compliance with laws and
regulations. Through Cisco UCS Directors cloud capabilities, you can assume the
role of a services broker and facilitate the adoption of best-in-class capabilities to
remain competitive, even if this requires outsourcing portions of the IT value chain.
Your business will be able to move quickly to take advantage of new markets, new
revenue-generating applications, and the massive amounts of data available through
big data initiatives. Cisco UCS Director is uniquely suited to deliver IaaS.
