High Performance and
Scalability Out of the Box
Cisco UCS CPA for Big Data is an
industry-leading architecture conceived
to address a variety of big data
workloads. Designed to meet the need
for massive scalability demanded by
big data applications, the environment
can scale up to 160 nodes in a single
management domain and up to 10,000
nodes by interconnecting domains.
Cisco UCS CPA for Big Data was
designed, through extensive testing,
to provide a high-performance and
scalable architecture for Hadoop,
and best practices are captured in a
Cisco® Validated Design. These best
practices are now integrated into Cisco
UCS Director Express for Big Data,
helping ensure that you get the best
performance out of the box, without
the need for any additional fine-tuning
(Figure 1).

Cisco UCS Director Express for
Big Data provides an extensible
and programmable infrastructure
management platform. An open
northbound Representation State
Transfer (REST) API allows additional
customization and provides additional
services. The API offers integration with
third-party applications and provides a
platform for building add-on services
for both cloud and on-premises
deployments.
