Unified Data Center Management from Cisco
The Cisco® Unified Computing System is a cohesive, integrated system that is managed, serviced and tested as a whole and designed to deliver scalability through a design for hundreds of discrete servers and thousands of virtual machines. It reduces TCO at the platform, site and organizational levels; increases IT staff productivity and business agility; and is based on industry standards supported by a partner ecosystem of industry leaders.
The Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) is a next-generation data center platform that unites compute, network, storage access and virtualization into a cohesive system. Integrating low-latency, lossless 10 gigabit Ethernet unified network fabric with enterprise-class, x86-architecture servers, this flexible, scalable, multi-chassis platform unites all resources in a unified management domain. »
The Cisco UCS 5108 chassis is integral to Cisco Unified Computing System's breakthrough benefits of greater simplicity and IT responsiveness. It incorporates unified fabric; integrated, embedded management; and fabric extender technology, resulting in fewer physical components, no independent management and more energy efficiency than traditional blade server chassis. »
Cisco UCS C-Series Rack-Mount Servers extend the Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) innovations to a rack-mount form factor, including a standards-based unified network fabric, Cisco VN-Link virtualization support and Cisco Extended Memory Technology. The servers are designed to operate both in standalone environments and as part of the Cisco UCS, and enable organizations to deploy systems incrementally using as many or as few servers as needed. »
Cisco UCS Manager provides unified, centralized, embedded management of all software and hardware components of the Cisco Unified Computing System across multiple chassis and thousands of virtual machines. It delivers flexible role- and policy-based management using service profiles and templates and facilitates processes based on IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL) concepts. »
