Now Add Automation and
Orchestration
With Cisco UCS, we already
simplify and automate infrastructure
management more than any other
vendor. You may already have
purchased Cisco UCS as part of an
integrated infrastructure that includes

Vblock™ Systems, or EMC VSPEX.
Now consider how you can improve
your organization if you extend the
management and orchestration scope
to include upstream Layer 2 networking,
storage configuration, both physical and
virtual machine provisioning, and virtual
desktop provisioning—both locally and
remotely.

the operating system—from a service
catalog through a self-service interface
that your administrators can use? We
can help you move one step closer
to a more holistic implementation of
