Cisco Extended Memory Technology:
This Cisco technology provides twice
as much memory (384 GB) as traditional two-socket servers, increasing perfor-
mance and capacity for demanding virtualization and large-data-set workloads.
Alternatively, this technology offers a more cost-effective memory footprint for
less-demanding workloads. Cisco also offers up to 512 GB of Samsung 40 nm class
DDR3, high-efficiency memory in a four-socket rack-mount server, expanding the
scope of Cisco UCS to a broader range of applications.

Energy efficiency:
The system is designed for energy efficiency. Power supplies
are 92 percent efficient, and the Intel Xeon 5500, 5600 and 7500 series processors
use automated low-power states to better match power consumption with
workloads. The simplified design of the Cisco UCS B-Series Blade Servers
improves airflow efficiency and can reduce the number of components that need
to be powered and cooled by more than 50 percent compared to traditional blade
server environments; similar component reduction can be achieved with the Cisco
UCS C-Series Rack-Mount Servers. In addition, the Samsung 40 nm class DDR3,
high-efficiency memory now offers even greater energy efficiency.

Cisco UCS 6100 Series Fabric Interconnects
comprise a family of line-rate,
low-latency, lossless, 10-Gbps Ethernet interconnect switches that consolidate
I/O within the system. Both 20-port one-rack-unit (1RU) and 40-port 2RU versions
accommodate expansion modules that provide Fibre Channel and 10 Gigabit
Ethernet connectivity.

Cisco UCS C-Series Rack-Mount Servers
based on Intel Xeon 5500, 5600 and
7500 series processors, extend unified computing innovations to an industry-stan-
dard form factor. Designed to operate both in standalone environments and as part
of the Cisco Unified Computing System, the series incorporates standards-based
unified network fabric, Cisco VN-Link virtualization support, and Cisco Extended
Memory Technology. It supports an incremental deployment model with an easy
migration path to unified computing.

Why Cisco?
The Cisco Unified Computing System continues Cisco's long history of innovation in
delivering integrated systems for improved business results based on industry stan-
dards and using the network as the platform. Recent examples include IP telephony, LAN
switching, unified communications, and unified I/O. Cisco began the unified computing
phase of our Data Center 3.0 strategy several years ago by assembling an experienced
team from the computing and virtualization industries to augment our own networking
and storage access expertise. As a result, Cisco delivered foundational technologies,
including the Cisco Nexus
