Aligning IT with your business means
building and maintaining good
relationships with your clients. We can
help you deliver IT assets to them in

which your applications and data run in
someone else’s cloud.

We give you insight into resource
consumption with an at-a-glance

predefined resource utilization and

Cisco UCS Director helps you identify
abnormally high resource consumption
to find places where your clients may
be able to adjust an algorithm for
better performance. It also helps you
identify underutilized resources, so that
clients can decommission idle virtual
machines. Both of these steps can help
you and your clients work together to
eliminate virtual machine sprawl.

Collaborate for More
Innovation
Nothing spurs innovation more than
collaboration by subject-matter experts
and administrators to determine your
best practices. The Cisco UCS Director
workflow makes this happen in your
organization.
collaboration by subject-matter experts
and administrators to determine your
best practices. The Cisco UCS Director
workflow makes this happen in your
organization.
Cisco UCS Director brings together
your subject-matter experts so that
they work in unison to determine the
best ways to provision and maintain
applications. It requires them to think
about when each discipline’s processes
should be followed, and about each
other’s roles in server, storage, and
networking management. In this
context, questions like “Is there a better
way to do this?” can finally be asked.

The result is improved processes and
increased clarity, with high visibility
between roles. Now your organization
can focus less on maintenance and
more on the to-do list of strategic
initiatives that are begging for your
attention. You get more from your staff
because you have eliminated many of
their time-consuming, manual tasks.
The result is better optimized, end-to-
end architecture.
