Data Sheet
Cisco UCS Fusion-io ioDrive2 Adapter
Product Overview
The Cisco Unified Computing System
™
(Cisco UCS
®
) is a next-generation data center platform that unites
computing, networking, storage access, and virtualization resources in a cohesive system designed to reduce total
cost of ownership (TCO) and increase business agility.
With ultra-low latency Fusion ioMemory technology built into Cisco UCS blade servers, storage performance can
be decoupled from capacity through the integration of a powerful new memory tier uniquely designed to accelerate
applications delivery.
Main Benefits
The Cisco UCS Fusion-io ioDrive2 Adapter (Figure 1) offers the following main benefits:
●
Significant improvements in application performance for Cisco UCS blade servers: Fusion ioMemory
significantly reduces latency in enterprise applications with a persistent, high-performance, high-capacity
memory tier. This memory tier integrates transparently with Cisco UCS blade servers to immediately
improve performance and relieve I/O bottlenecks.
●
Dramatically reduced TCO: With significant performance improvements, Cisco customers can reduce the
amount of physical infrastructure they need to deploy, increase the number of virtual machines that they can
place on a single physical server, and further improve overall system efficiency. These improvements
provide savings in capital expenditures and operating costs, including reduced application licensing fees
and savings related to space, cooling costs, and energy use.
●
Improved enterprise reliability through self-healing features, wear management, and predictive monitoring:
The Cisco UCS Fusion-io ioDrive 2 Adapter includes powerful features to eliminate concerns about
reliability, including NAND flash memory failures and excessive wear. The all-new intelligent, self-healing
Fusion Adaptive Flashback feature provides complete chip-level fault tolerance, which enables the Cisco
UCS Fusion-io ioDrive 2 Adapter to repair itself after a single chip or a multichip failure without interrupting
business continuity.
