Streamline Data Center Operations

The Cisco Unified Computing System is the next-generation data center platform. Designed to improve IT responsiveness to rapidly changing business demands, it accelerates the delivery of new services simply, reliably, and securely, through end-to-end provisioning and migration support for both virtualized and non-virtualized systems.

The Cisco Unified Computing System delivers the next step in the Data Center 3.0 vision. It unifies network, compute, storage access, and virtualization resources in a cohesive system to:

* Reduce total cost of ownership
* Increase business agility
* Improve productivity

Based on industry standards, the Unified Computing System is designed to:

* Streamline data center resources
* Scale service delivery
* Radically reduce the number of devices requiring setup, management, power/cooling, and cabling

Security
Reduce IT Risk

Cisco security balances protection and power to deliver highly secure collaboration.

With Cisco security solutions, you can connect, communicate, and conduct business securely while protecting users, information, applications, and the network.

Cisco pervasive security can help your organization:

* Minimize security and compliance IT risk
* Reduce the IT administrative burden
* Lower the total cost of ownership





Unified Computing and Data Center Evolution

Data center virtualization has created a market transition where IT organizations are trying to reduce costs and increase flexibility. Despite this, IT organizations are constantly working against existing rigid, inflexible hardware platforms. As a consequence, data center administrators have had to spend significant time on manual procedures for basic tasks instead of focusing on more strategic, proactive initiatives.

The Cisco Unified Computing System is a next-generation data center platform that unites compute, network, storage access, and virtualization into a cohesive system designed to reduce TCO and increase business agility. The system integrates a low-latency, lossless 10GE unified network fabric with enterprise-class, x86-architecture servers. The system is an integrated, scalable, multichassis platform in which all resources participate in a unified management domain.

Managed as a single system whether it has 1 server or 320 servers with thousands of virtual machines, this approach decouples scale from complexity. The Cisco Unified Computing System accelerates the delivery of new services simply, reliably, and securely through end-to-end provisioning and migration support for both virtualized and non-virtualized systems.

The Cisco Unified Computing System is designed to deliver:

* Reduced total cost of ownership (TCO) at the platform, site, and organizational levels
* Increased IT staff productivity and business agility through just-in-time provisioning and mobility support for both virtualized and nonvirtualized environments
* A seamless integrated system that is managed, serviced, and tested as a whole
* Scalability through a design for up to 320 discrete servers and thousands of virtual machines, and the ability to scale I/O bandwidth to match demand
* Industry standards supported by a partner ecosystem of industry leaders

The Cisco Unified Computing System delivers the next step in the Data Center 3.0 vision. It unifies network, compute, storage access, and virtualization resources in a cohesive system to:

* Reduce total cost of ownership
* Increase business agility
* Improve productivity

The data center is in the midst of a major transformation. Customers are realizing many benefits of virtualization today, including lower facilities and power and cooling costs, better server utilization, higher service levels, and faster deployment of applications.

However, virtualization reveals a more critical problem: the complexity of managing exponentially increasing numbers of disconnected physical and virtual compute, storage, and network resources.

In delivering the industry's first unified computing platform, Cisco and its industry-leading partners allow IT to deliver on the promise of data center virtualization -- with enhanced data center architectures that will be increasingly more manageable, reliable, flexible, and scalable than anything we have today.

Innovation Based on Industry Standards

The Cisco Unified Computing System continues Cisco's long history of innovation in delivering integrated systems that deliver business results through IT innovation -- IP telephony, LAN switching, Unified Communications -- based on industry standards and using the network as the platform.

Today Cisco is advancing the industry by taking a systems approach to computing that unifies network intelligence and scalability with innovative ASICs, integrated software, and standard compute components.

Streamlined Architecture for High Performance

The Cisco Unified Computing System uses a simplified architecture for the virtualized data center that unifies servers, storage access, networks, and virtualization technologies to drive the value of data center infrastructure to an entirely new level.

With a unique systems approach to architecture, technology, partnerships, and services, Cisco's Unified Computing System streamlines data center resources, scales service delivery, and radically reduces the number of devices requiring setup, management, power and cooling, and cabling..
