Руководство По Настройке для Cisco Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series 1550nm 10 Gigabit Ethernet Module
Cisco ACE Dynamic Workload Scaling (DWS) delivers
integration between the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series,
VMware vCenter, and Cisco ACE. This integration allows
Cisco ACE to obtain virtual machine locality information
and actively monitor the resource utilization of the local
virtual machines. When Cisco ACE determines that local
computing resources have become scarce, it dynami-
cally distributes the workload to a remote data center,
thus providing flexible workload mobility in distributed
environments.

The Cisco ACE Web Services API provides a program-
mable interface for system developers to integrate Cisco
Application Networking Manager (ANM) with customized
or third-party management applications such as VMware
Orchestrator and Cisco Tidal software. This feature
enables application and server administrators to develop
their own automation solutions or to use third-party man-
agement systems to automate Cisco ACE provisioning.

Although widespread use of virtual machines with
VMware-based application servers brings many signifi-
cant advantages, it also introduces multiple challenges
for IT departments, including:
VMware-based application servers brings many signifi-
cant advantages, it also introduces multiple challenges
for IT departments, including:
•
High operating expenses (OpEx):
The dynamic
nature of virtual data centers introduces a large
volume of high-OpEx manual and repetitive
changes. The Cisco ACE VMware vCenter plug-in
addresses this challenge by reducing the number
of tools that are required to provision and monitor
the application delivery infrastructure and virtual-
ized servers. In addition, the Cisco ACE Web
Services API enables customers to automate
common, repetitive tasks.

ized servers. In addition, the Cisco ACE Web

•
Limited virtual machine visibility:
Visibility into
the status and operation of applications and the
underlying virtual infrastructure is limited. The Cisco
ACE VMware vCenter plug-in gives Cisco ACE and
VMware vCenter users access to the Cisco ACE
and virtual machine status and historical statistics,
which can be used to make intelligent design
decisions.

•
Slow and complex application rollouts:
The exis-
tence of multiple touch points leads to increased
lead times and greater risk of errors for applica-
tion and service deployments. The Cisco ACE
Web Services API allows customers to automate
common real-server tasks. The Cisco ACE VMware
vCenter plug-in reduces the number of tools that
are needed to provision end-to-end application
delivery services by allowing administrators to use
a single management tool for common provisioning
and monitoring operations.

Limited performance:
Applications and infrastruc-
ture are difficult to scale to meet customer and user
demands. Cisco ACE DWS allows data centers
to automatically scale their virtual machines to use
spare capacity that is present in a remote
data center.

Business Reasons for Deploying Cisco AVDC
•
Faster application rollout:
Simplified provisioning,
along with securely delegated change control for
the most commonly performed server administra-
tion load-balancing tasks, reduces the overall time
required to complete application deployment and
teardown.

ments:
The VMware vCenter plug-in enables an
operator to dynamically view application traffic flow
at the point of the application delivery controller
(the Cisco ACE) within Cisco ANM and VMware
vCenter. This capability makes routine operations
and troubleshooting tasks much easier to perform
quickly and effectively.
