allows precise control over the balance 
of computing, networking, storage, 
and even performance resources. With 
this vision, we imagine an environment 
that supports not just virtualized 
applications, but those that reside in 
operating system containers and on 
bare-metal servers, all sharing the solid 
platform created by the cluster software 
and that incorporates a high-availability 
data engine with enterprise-class 
features (Figure 1).
Our vision of computing has been 
fabric based and software defined 
since we introduced Cisco Unified 
Computing System™ (Cisco UCS®) in 
2009. Cisco UCS management enables 
you to treat infrastructure as code so 
that you can program hardware as if 
it were software. Every identity and 
configuration setting of every device in 
the system is software defined through 
Cisco UCS service profiles, and a 
unified system control plane is made 
accessible through an open API. If you 
build your platform beginning with a 
high-performance, low-latency, unified 
fabric that is self-aware and self-
integrating, building an environment 
founded on fabric-based, composable 
infrastructure is a straightforward 
process. First-generation 
hyperconvergence moved storage 
back into servers. Now our fabric-
based solution moves the network into 
the computer. This approach enables 
precise, microconverged integration 
of computing, storage, and networking 
resources for extremely tight coupling 
of resources to application demands.
