Cisco Unified Computing System™ (Cisco UCS®) with VMware vSphere and
VMware vRealize Operations gives you a unified management experience for
virtual and physical infrastructure that reduces total cost of ownership (TCO) while
enhancing business agility. With this combination of technologies, you can manage
a software-defined environment in a more effective and efficient manner than you
can with other infrastructure solutions. You gain the speed and flexibility of delivering
infrastructure as a service (IaaS).

Cisco Unified Computing System
Cisco UCS is the first data center platform to integrate industry-standard, x86-
architecture Cisco® servers with networking and storage access into a single
integrated system. It is a purpose-built platform for virtualized environments that
enables IaaS. You can program the platform’s configuration through a single,
model-based management interface. This capability accelerates the deployment
and performance of physical, virtualized, and cloud-computing environments.
Cisco SingleConnect technology provides a single mechanism for connecting your
servers, hypervisors, virtual machines, and management networks over a single set
of cables. Fewer cables and devices means a radically simplified architecture with
lower infrastructure cost per server than for HP or Lenovo solutions (see sidebar).
