Different tools used by different teams increase the boundaries
• Inconsistent data and reporting
• Unable to gain holistic view of problems
• Troubleshooting and analysis become extremely complex
Many manual processes and meetings to handle daily activities
Difficulty implementing automation and orchestration to reduce TCO

Reduces Provisioning Times Average 83%
Based on 103 Customer Case Studies
“Our staff can now provision a test
environment in minutes, not
months, so we can test new ideas
very rapidly. It’s given us a
competitive edge.”
“UCS service profiles have made
server deployment easier and
about three times faster.”
“The improvements in provisioning
and implementation have
dramatically reduced the load
on Allianz’s IT professionals,
freeing them to focus on more
strategically important projects.”
Reduction of Ongoing Admin/Mgmt Costs Average 66%
Based on 48 Customer Case Studies
“Thanks to the Cisco UCS
Manager, the same staff of
seven engineers who previously
managed 90 servers now
manages 150 Cisco servers.”
“We estimate a productivity
improvement of 30 percent for the
IT team as a whole, with our
people now able to focus on more
strategic matters and new areas
like energy efficiency.”
"Staff morale is soaring as
technical teams are freed from
break-fix issues and manual
processes required to keep
dozens of different systems
running."

UCS Central
UCS Central: Not your typical Manager of Managers
• Simplified, Centralized Management
• Based on UCS Manager, which remains the execution engine
• Global policies are read-only in UCS Manager and are only stored on UCS Manager instances when they are in use
• Local policies are read-only in UCS Central with visibility to all policies in all UCS Manager instances
• Global policies, local policies, or a combination of both may be used at the same time
Why Should Customers Use UCS Central? Feature Functions Benefit
Information
Dashboard
Centralized hardware inventory, centralized
faults/logs, and up to one year of statistics
across UCS Mini and Classic UCS domains
Improved visibility across local and remote domains
reduces the administrative time to monitor,
troubleshoot, inventory, and do capacity planning
Centralized
KVM
Access KVM sessions on all UCS managed
servers from a single location
Users no longer need to know which domain to
access to set up a KVM session.
Centralized
Backup
Scheduled backup of UCS Manager and UCS
Central instances.
Automated backups to a central location improves
resiliency with minimal administrative impact
Administrative
Configuration
Cross-domain administrative settings and
cross-domain ID pools that new UCS Manager
instances have access to upon registration
Set up new domains in minutes with limited
administrative effort while maintaining cross-domain
consistency saving hours of set up time per domain.
Operational
Control
Global policies and settings that can deployed
and enforced across domains
Policy and settings standardization and
enforcement across domains helps ensure
compliance, reduces configuration issues, and
reduces troubleshooting time.
Workload
Mobility
Global Service Profiles with optional site
specific settings for localization
Consistent deployments across UCS domains with
the flexibility to quickly provision, de-provision, or
move workloads between servers or domains.
