Cisco Unified Computing UCS Breakfast Briefing

7 December 2011

Organisations today are faced with increasing demand for new applications.  Together with the cost of increasing equipment and facilities, IT departments are required to meet these demands whilst cutting costs.  Kelway and Cisco work together to combat these issues with Cisco’s Unified Computing (UCS)  by:

  • 1. Reducing equipment, facilities, and operating costs
  • 2. Provisioning new applications quickly
  • 3. Meeting high-availability service level agreement requirements
  • 4. Coordinating management and operations across virtualisation silos
  • 5. Full Multi-Tenant capabilities for the whole infrastructure

UCS is Cisco’s Server Platform and has enjoyed phenomenal growth since its introduction in 2009. This has been achieved through an innovative architecture unmatched by other Blade Server vendors resulting in lower total cost of ownership and innovative features that make it easier to manage, scale and rapidly provision new services.

In this briefing, Kelway provide a detailed overview of the architecture as well as specific features and help you understand how they can benefit your environment.
