Preparation for cloud migration
While many benefits are gained by migrating to
geographically dispersed data centers, challenges
are encountered when a distributed infrastructure is
deployed. Load balancing traffic to remote data centers
can add latency because of the round trip to remote data
centers, leading the IT department to want to increase
the local computing resources before distributing the
workload to remote data centers.

are encountered when a distributed infrastructure is
deployed. Load balancing traffic to remote data centers
can add latency because of the round trip to remote data
centers, leading the IT department to want to increase
the local computing resources before distributing the
workload to remote data centers.
Increasing the local compute resources introduces
the need for virtual machine intelligence. Otherwise,
services cannot be delivered with optimal response
times, resulting in suboptimal use of the distributed
infrastructure. Cisco ACE dynamic workload scaling
addresses these challenges:

addresses these challenges:
•
Virtual machine visibility: Integration with VMware
vCenter enables ACE to actively monitor the current
resource utilization of the local virtual machines to
make an intelligent decision regarding whether to
distribute workload locally or send it to the remote
data center.

•
Service latency: Cisco ACE enables customers to
efficiently use the local compute resources before
distributing workload to a remote data center. When
the compute resources of the local virtual machines
are fully used, ACE distributes the workload to a
remote data center to service the increased load.

•
Limited scalability: Integration with OTV provides
increased capacity to scale an application across
geographically dispersed data centers without
compromising the autonomy of the data centers
or the stability of the overall network. ACE dynami-
cally adds remote compute resources to service
increased workload when local resources become
scarce.

Complex deployments: Integration with Nexus
7000 and VMware vCenter enable ACE to service
increased workload faster and simpler while pre-
serving existing network design. As a result, busi-
nesses gain increased application resiliency while
keep operating expenses low.

•
Greater scalability: As data centers evolve from a
hierarchical architectural model to a flatter Layer 2–
based distributed model, DWS enables businesses
to scale applications and the infrastructure without
increasing the costs and resources needed for
administration and management.

Optimal hardware resource utilization: By distribut-
ing workload to a remote data center only when local
compute resources have been fully utilized, Cisco
ACE offers significant cost saving benefits and
operational benefits.
