Data Centre

Unified Computing

Cisco's Unified Computing System (UCS) delivers a new approach to data centre computing solutions, introducing a number of technical innovations, making organisations re-think the way their data centres are designed. For example:

Embedded system management: Management is uniquely integrated into all the components of the system, enabling the entire solution to be managed as a single entity

Just-in-time provisioning with service profiles: Role- and policy-based management are implemented using service profiles and templates allowing  virtual machines to be created as required within a matter of minutes

VN-Link virtualisation support: Cisco VN-Link technology extends the network to the virtual machine enabling a consistent operational model, whether networks are connected to physical servers or virtual machines

Cisco extended memory technology: Providing in excess of twice the amount of memory of traditional two-socket servers, increasing performance and capacity as well as reducing costs for demanding virtualisation

State-of-the-art performance: State of the art processors that automatically and intelligently adjust server performance according to application needs, increasing performance when needed and achieving substantial energy savings when not

Energy efficiency: The system is designed for energy efficiency reducing power consumption and the number of components required

The result is a next-generation data centre platform that unites compute, network, storage access, and virtualisation into a cohesive system designed to reduce total cost of ownership and increase business agility.
