Cisco
Unified Computing System
As enterprise computing systems increase in scale, they also increase in complexity. And as complexity increases, so does the expense of deployment and ongoing management. Organisations are looking for ways to substantially decrease cost of ownership while increasing IT business value. The Cisco UCS helps address these challenges by streamlining data center resources, scaling service delivery, and radically reducing the number of devices requiring setup, management, power/cooling, and cabling.
UCS delivers:
• Reduce total cost of ownership at the platform, site, and organizational levels
• Increase IT staff productivity and business agility through just-in-time provisioning and mobility support for both virtualised and non-virtualised environments
• Enables scalability
As a next-generation data center platform, the Cisco UCS:
• Unites computing, networking, storage access, and virtualisation into a cohesive system
• Integrates a low-latency, lossless 10 Gigabit Ethernet unified network fabric with enterprise-class, x86-architecture servers
This approach separates scale from complexity. Whether the system has 1 server or 320 servers with thousands of virtual machines, all resources participate in a unified management domain designed to:
• Reduce total cost of ownership at the platform, site, and organisational levels
• Increase IT staff productivity and business agility through just-in-time provisioning and mobility support.
