Data Sheet
Cisco UCS Invicta Scaling System
Product Overview
What if you could accelerate the performance of your mission-critical workloads? Transactions could be processed
instantaneously. Users could analyze data and make better decisions faster. Batch processing jobs would go
faster. And other important processes would deliver better performance. And what if you could easily reshape your
infrastructure as demands on it change? Now you can.
Cisco’s leadership in high-performance, scalable, solid-
state systems is dramatically improving application performance while simplifying data center operations.
Meet the Cisco UCS Invicta
™
Scaling System: the first truly enterprise-class, scalable, solid-state architecture. As a
next-generation modular architecture, the Cisco UCS Invicta Series delivers the highest sustained write throughput
in the industry. It supports all standard networking and file protocols. And it can serve up application workloads
from a multitenant architecture in which applications coexist without performance degradation.
Compared to similar technologies, the Cisco UCS Invicta OS outperforms. It was designed to use NAND flash
memory for sustained high throughput, a high rate of I/O operations per second (IOPS), ultra-low latency, and fast
write performance.
Cisco’s application-centric approach, combined with a modular, scalable, high-performance architecture, let you
improve performance of many types of workloads:
●
Analytics and intelligence: Extract, integrate, and analyze data up to 10 times faster.
●
Batch processing: Run batches without interrupting other workflow.
●
E-mail: Reduce time delays by a factor of up to 50.
●
Online transaction processing: Remove performance bottlenecks between servers and memory.
●
Video: Complete more transcoding tasks in significantly less time.
●
Virtual desktops: Improve overall user experience with desktops that launch faster and respond quickly
while virus scanning.
●
Database loads: Dramatically reduce query response times.
●
High-performance computing (HPC): Leverage low latency IO requests to speed time sensitive applications.
