Cisco - Sungard and Cisco Deliver an Enterprise Cloud Featuring Policy-Based Automation

Sungard Availability Services has partnered with Cisco in building its Public and Managed cloud platforms on OpenStack. Over the past year, the project has grown to multiple sites worldwide with the help of Cisco UCS integrated infrastructure, advanced policy-based automation through Group Based Policy (GBP) and Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI) fabric. In this session, you will learn about how Cisco ACI and Group-Based Policy can be used as a building block for an OpenStack cloud. You will also learn directly from the Sungard architects why Cisco infrastructure was chosen, the reference architecture employed, the current state of the deployment, challenges overcome in design and implementation, and key lessons to incorporate in future deployments.
