Mgmt Server A single system that encompasses:

– Network: Unified fabric

– Compute: Industry standard x86

– Storage: Access options

– Virtualisation optimized

Unified management model

– Dynamic resource provisioning

Efficient Scale

– Cisco network scale & services

– Fewer servers with more memory

Lower cost

– Fewer servers, switches, adapters, cables

– Lower power consumption

– Fewer points of management

UCS Advantages

• UCS = Unified Management, Comprehensive

Service Profiles, Open XML API

• Unified Fabric = Unified Ports, Flexibility,

Scalability, Simplicity

• Policy-based VM connectivity and mobility with

VIC 1280 (Virtual Interface Card); Up to 80Gb

I/O per HW-blade!

Why?

• UCS converges management in the fabric to provide

a single, feature-rich, point for all LAN, SAN, and

HW Mgmt. UCS Service Profiles simplify

deployment and ongoing management – at no extra

cost.

• Unified Fabric presents up to 80Gb of redundant BW

and all of the benefits of the award-winning VIC

card.

Legacy Competitors vs. Cisco UCS

UCS Is Unified

Management Single

Unified System

Open API for integration

into existing environments

Legacy Management Servers

• Required for Full Functionality

• Have to size, configure, maintain,

separate servers and OS

• Management Server Not

redundant

• Pairs of management controller

boards in EACH enclosure

Legacy Management Software

• Sits on high and ―pokes/peeks‖

hardware

• Tries to present single pain of

glass to multiple hodgepodge of

tools

Legacy Blade Management Approach

UCS Legacy

Server = Pool of Resources Server = Application

Inefficient Complex High Cost Fragile Efficient Agile Transformative

• Management is a Separate Fabric

• Each enclosure burdened with

HW, FW, Cables for Management.

Higher Availability, Fewer

Connections, Easy HW growth,

UCS Is Stateless Computing

• UCS = Every server already attached to LAN/SAN/Mgmt

– This is the key to a highly utilized and flexible environment

– Question: What would it take for you to do this in your DC today?

• UCSM = Redundant fabric holds workload DNA. Why?

– Settings (FW, BIOS, Adapter, LAN, SAN, Storage, and many more) are

pushed out as profiles to available hardware.

– Legacy server vendors update hardware with bundles/revisions in

anticipation of application. UCS configures HW instantly based on the

profile for that workload type.

Servers as a Resource, Awaiting their Identity

Needs admin coordination every time

May incur downtime during deployments

Complex server replacement, upgrade, migration process
