Supporting Student Notes:

Organizations are under pressure to become more competitive and agile. At the same time, IT complexity is slowing
down CIOs’ ability to help lead their companies into new markets and deliver new services faster.

Together, Cisco and Red Hat work with companies to provide choice in how their business evolves. We deliver the most
comprehensive open solutions for data center modernization, hybrid cloud, and big data. These integrated and validated
solutions empower IT to deliver positive business outcomes with speed and scale while setting the foundation for
efficiency and competitive gain.

Cisco UCS, combined with Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform, can simplify the process of implementing and
deploying cloud infrastructure for a wide range of workloads. An open source cloud platform running on market-leading
infrastructure, Cisco UCS running Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform delivers greater scalability,
manageability, and performance at a significant cost savings in both private and public clouds.

Cisco's integration of OpenShift by Red Hat and the Cisco Prime Service Catalog (PSC) creates a solution to provision,
configure, and manage infrastructure as a service (IaaS), platform as a service (PaaS), software as a service (SaaS),
and other IT services, all through a single pane of glass. The combined solution provides a unified portal and service
catalog for anything as a service (XaaS).

By taking advantage of innovative technologies, we keep IT organizations ahead of the next market transition, helping
them prepare for the future. Red Hat and Cisco open cloud solutions provide enterprises with innovative, flexible, and
reliable cloud technologies that help to enable faster time-to-value and mitigate the risks of moving to the cloud.
