Unified Computing Realized
Today, IT organizations assemble their data center environments from individual compo-
nents. Their administrators spend significant amounts of time manually accomplishing
basic integration tasks rather than focusing on more strategic, proactive initiatives. The
industry is in a transition away from the rigid, inflexible platforms that result and moving
toward more flexible, integrated, and virtualized environments.

The Cisco Unified Computing System™ is a next-generation data center platform that
unites compute, network, storage access, and virtualization into a cohesive system
designed to reduce total cost of ownership (TCO) and increase business agility. The
system integrates a low-latency, lossless 10 Gigabit Ethernet unified network fabric with
enterprise-class, x86-architecture servers. The system is an integrated, scalable,
multichassis platform in which all resources participate in a unified management
domain (Figure 1).

Managed as a single system whether it has one server or hundreds of servers with
thousands of virtual machines, the Cisco Unified Computing System decouples scale
from complexity. The Cisco Unified Computing System accelerates the delivery of new
services simply, reliably, and securely through end-to-end provisioning and migration
support for both virtualized and nonvirtualized systems.

Embedded system management:
Management is uniquely integrated into all the
components of the system, enabling the entire solution to be managed as a single
entity through Cisco UCS Manager. Cisco UCS Manager provides an intuitive GUI,
a command-line interface (CLI), and a robust API to manage all system configura-
tion and operations. Cisco UCS Manager enables IT managers of storage, network-
ing, and servers to collaborate easily on defining service profiles for applications
while preserving subject matter expertise and roles.

Just-in-time provisioning with service profiles:
Cisco UCS Manager imple-
ments role- and policy-based management using service profiles and templates.
Infrastructure policies—such as power and cooling, security, identity, hardware
health, and Ethernet and storage networking—needed to deploy applications are
encapsulated in the service profile. This construct improves IT productivity and
business agility. Now infrastructure can be provisioned in minutes instead of days,
shifting IT’s focus from maintenance to strategic initiatives.

Unified fabric:
Cisco’s unified fabric technology reduces cost by eliminating the
need for multiple sets of adapters, cables, and switches for LANs, SANs, and high-
performance computing networks. The system’s fabric extenders pass all network
traffic to parent fabric interconnects, where it can be processed and managed
centrally, improving performance and reducing points of management. The unified
fabric is a low-latency lossless 10-Gbps Ethernet foundation that enables a “wire-
once” deployment model in which changing I/O configurations no longer means
installing adapters and recabling racks and switches.

VN-Link virtualization support:
Cisco VN-Link technology extends the network to
the virtual machine. This enables a consistent operational model, whether networks
are connected to physical servers or virtual machines. Now all links can be cen-
trally configured and managed without introducing additional switching layers into
