Cisco Data CenterSolution BriefMitigate Risk for Data Center Network MigrationOptimize Your Architecture and IT Investment WhileReducing Complexity and RiskCisco Data Center MigrationServices help enterprisesand service providersimprove business agility andend-user experience withminimal risk, complexity, andresource consumption.Migration initiatives can help enterprises and service providers maintain marketleadership, increase business agility, and reduce total cost of ownership (TCO) whilemeeting regulatory requirements and plans for future growth.Because the data center is the mission-critical delivery platform for business, migratingyour data center or any of its IT assets – applications, data, compute, network, servers,and/or facilities – can be a complex, large-scale change management effort withsignificant investment and risk unless carefully planned and managed.Successful data center migration initiatives need to address architectural, business, andoperational challenges within and across the entire IT stack (Figure 1). Challengesinclude maintaining business continuity, migrating legacy and packaged applications,preserving mission-critical data during migration, and preventing security breaches.On the up side, migration initiatives also provide you with opportunities to addressarchitecture updates, enact virtualization procedures, and realize green opportunitiesaround power and cooling reductions to get more from your data center investments.Your successful data center migration strategy should involve: Meticulously orchestrating the complex move of mission-critical data centerassets from one site and/or one platform to another. Making sure of business continuity by maintaining application performance andavailability while delivering operational service levels throughout the physicaland/or platform moves. With little or no margin for error, it is essential to preventcostly, unplanned service outages or performance degradation that can affectuser experience.Mitigating these risks requires a broad array of expertise across architecture, business,operations, technology, and strategy arenas, which can create steep learning curves forenterprises and service providers.1 2014 Cisco and/or its affiliates.

Cisco Data CenterSolution Briefrisk analysis and mitigation plan, migration and migration implementation plan, andprogram management office.Because data centers have tight interdependencies, our migration methodologies areapplied to each area across the entire IT stack, including business, application, server,storage, networks, facilities, and operational resources. (See Table 1 at the end of thisdocument for the service activities, deliverables, and benefits.)This approach is designed to uncover migration-related risks and mitigate them early inthe project lifecycle. By engaging Cisco Services, you are assured of a repeatable levelof success on any size data center migration initiative regardless of complexity andscope. This holistic approach significantly reduces the project implementation overheadand provides a confident path to on-time completion. With Cisco Data Center MigrationServices, even a large-scale migration effort can be implemented with lower risk, anaccelerated time frame, and improved return on investment.Figure 2.Cisco Data Center Migration MethodologiesTackle Hidden RiskWithin the data center, business applications depend on various software componentsrunning on servers connected to networks and storage. Data center hardware andsoftware components have complex and mission-critical interactions andinterdependencies, which might or might not be documented. Based on our more than28 years of experience with more than 50 million devices and 6 million customerinteractions each year, we have seen it is the undocumented interactions andinterdependencies that are the riskiest, because they can lead to inadvertentmisconnection or disconnection of application-supporting infrastructure, causing majorapplication outages.3 2014 Cisco and/or its affiliates.

Cisco Data CenterSolution BriefTo significantly reduce this hidden risk, Cisco Application Dependency Mapping (ADM)establishes a holistic and forensic view of known and hidden interdependencies socustomers like you, whether enterprises or service providers, can plan for them. CiscoADM examines these interdependencies from three different angles: servers, network,and business. The network offers the best vantage point to understand the interserverand interapplication interactions. Cisco ADM is distinguished by its capability toestablish the forensic maps of invisible interdependencies that might lead toperformance problems, even application and SLA outages.BenefitsThe Cisco Data Center Migration Service helps enterprises and service providers tooptimize data center architecture and IT investment while mitigating complexity andrisks.
