Cisco UCS Director Delivers Infrastructure as a Service
December 2015
Fuel Your Business with Accelerated and Agile IT
OneView was never intended to provide IaaS, and although Synergy will come
close, it supports only the Synergy platform. You can get capabilities similar to
those that Cisco UCS Director provides if you want the complexity and expense of
combining OneView with SAVA to support third-party infrastructure, and Operations
Orchestration to provide orchestration. Because these management solutions were
not designed to run together, they are not tightly integrated. Rather than delivering
IaaS, you can end up integrating tools.

in turn, makes your IT organization far more responsive to the demands of the
business. Cisco UCS Director’s unique orchestration and automation capabilities—

value while maintaining security and managing risk in compliance with laws and
regulations. Through Cisco UCS Director’s cloud capabilities, you can assume the
role of a services broker and facilitate the adoption of best-in-class capabilities to
remain competitive, even if this requires outsourcing portions of the IT value chain.
Your business will be able to move quickly to take advantage of new markets, new
revenue-generating applications, and the massive amounts of data available through
big data initiatives. Cisco UCS Director is uniquely suited to deliver IaaS.
