The Cisco Unified Computing System

™

 (Cisco UCS

®

) provides greater network density with less cabling and 

complexity to address the increasing need for better design and simpler control. Cisco’s unified fabric integrates 

Cisco UCS servers with a single high-bandwidth, low-latency network that supports all system I/O. This fabric 

carries IP, storage, and management traffic over redundant 10 Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet 

(FCoE) networks. This approach simplifies the architecture and reduces the number of I/O interfaces, cables, and 

access-layer switch ports required for traditional cloud infrastructure deployments. This unification can reduce 
network complexity by up to a factor of three, and the system’s wire-once network infrastructure increases agility 

and accelerates deployment with zero-touch configuration (Figure 2).

All I/O traffic meets at a single specific, redundant point at which it is efficiently and consistently managed, 

increasing network security, simplifying management, and reducing errors. This approach eliminates server and 

hypervisor-resident switching, condensing three network layers into one and reducing capital and operating costs. 

With the capability to interconnect physical servers and virtual machines as functional equivalents, the architecture 

delivers outstanding visibility and control that lets virtual networks be managed with the same level of control as 

physical networks.
