Cisco UCS Manager
Cisco UCS Manager provides a single point of management for the entire system, 
accessible through an intuitive GUI, command-line interface (CLI), and open XML 
API. Cisco UCS Manager is based on the following concepts:
• 
Policy-based management helps you better define and implement your own best 
practices, helping ensure that only consistent, tested, and standards-compliant 
systems are provisioned. This approach reduces risks from repetitive and error-
prone manual tasks and facilitates more dynamic data center infrastructure.
• 
Role-based access control (RBAC) lets you use your existing organizational 
structure to manage Cisco UCS. Fine-grained action definition enables simplified 
coordination between roles while restricting access to actions that can jeopardize 
service uptime. By default, server, network, and storage administrators can 
make changes appropriate to their roles, and cross-role visibility enhances 
communication between disciplines.
• 
A “wire once and walk away” model is supported by Cisco SingleConnect 
technology, allowing you to wire the system once and then manage all I/O and 
networking configuration through Cisco UCS Manager. For example, you can 
establish Fibre Channel connectivity to shared storage by enabling Fibre Channel 
over Ethernet (FCoE) through Cisco UCS Manager and directing Cisco virtual 
interface cards (VICs) to present Fibre Channel host bus adapters (HBAs) to the 
servers.
• 
Automated device discovery and Cisco UCS service profiles and templates 
allow servers to have their identity programmed on demand along with all 
configuration and connectivity, reducing the potential for human error, improving 
consistency, and shortening server deployment time. Created by server, network, 
and storage administrators and stored in the fabric interconnects, service profiles 
and templates are used by Cisco UCS Manager to automatically configure the 
server and its network adapters, fabric extenders, and fabric interconnects to 
support the configuration specified in the service profile. This approach greatly 
reduces the number of manual steps required to configure servers, network 
interface cards (NICs), HBAs, and LAN and SAN switches.
• 
Cisco UCS Central Software extends Cisco UCS Manager to enable policies, 
multitenancy, statistics collection, and backup operations on a global scale. Cisco 
UCS Central Software aggregates multiple Cisco UCS domains into a common 
framework that shares the same hardware abstraction and programmatic API. 
Cisco UCS Central Software supports shared global service profiles, templates, 
policies, and pools, allowing global control of policies and name spaces for 
increased compliance. The automation of processes allows data center managers 
to achieve greater efficiency, agility, and scale, while reducing complexity and 
risk. Availability and flexibility are retained by not tying multisystem management 
of potentially thousands of servers to a single nonredundant entity. 
Harmonic NMX Digital Service Manager
Harmonic NMX Digital Service Manager is a video network management solution 
that encompasses a powerful set of tools for monitoring and managing compressed 
digital video and audio services, as well as the systems through which these 
services flow. NMX offers a simple and intuitive interface for creating and modifying 
channel lineups. It can also be used to set encoding system parameters. The status
