The Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS)

Future-Ready Infrastructure

Built to meet present-day demands while remaining adaptable to future technologies, including more potent processors and faster Ethernet standards, the Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) is configured through unified, model-based management to deliver the following benefits:

Transition Beyond Infrastructure Maintenance

As enterprises seek ways to significantly decrease ownership costs while increasing IT business value, the Cisco Unified Computing System comes to the forefront. As enterprise computing systems expand in scale, they also grow in complexity. This complexity inflates deployment costs and ongoing management expenses.

The Cisco Unified Computing System tackles these challenges by streamlining data center resources, scaling service delivery, and drastically reducing the number of devices necessitating setup, management, power, cooling, and cabling.

Decouple Scale from Complexity

Simplify the deployment of enterprise-class applications by implementing the next-generation data center platform: the Cisco Unified Computing System. Its primary functional scope encompasses networking, storage access, uniting computation, and virtualization into a cohesive system.

The model-based design integrates a low-latency, lossless, 10 Gigabit Ethernet unified network fabric with enterprise-class, x86-architecture servers, decoupling scale from complexity. Whether the system comprises one server or thousands, all resources participate in a unified management environment engineered to lower total cost of ownership across the platform, site, and organizational levels. Simultaneously, it enhances IT staff productivity and business agility through just-in-time provisioning and mobility support.

Streamlined Management

Cisco UCS drives operational efficiency with swift provisioning of infrastructure from shared pools of computing, storage access, and network resources. It facilitates the scaling of IT infrastructure through unified, global, model-based management with service profiles.
