Data Sheet

NVMe Storage for Cisco UCS C-Series Rack and
B-Series Blade Servers

Product Overview

The Cisco Unified Computing System

™

(Cisco UCS

) is a next-generation data center platform that unites

computing, networking, storage, and virtualization resources in a cohesive system designed to reduce total cost of

ownership (TCO) and increase business agility.

As storage moves closer to the server, new opportunities for data center efficiency are arising. When applications

that need greater storage performance achieve high availability by using cluster-capable file systems and other

means for replicating data, major efficiencies can be gained.

Ultra-low latency nonvolatile memory express (NVMe) storage fully integrated into the Cisco UCS architecture

enables servers to provide increased storage reliability and performance compared to spinning media.

Organizations also gain the benefits of lower total cost of acquisition and lower TCO through reduced data center

power and cooling needs, as well as lower cost per I/O operations per second (IOPS) and lower wattage

requirements per IOPS. Bringing storage inside the server on a high-performance NVMe tier can also reduce

application licensing costs, making local flash storage a powerful solution for delivering more capabilities on a

smaller budget. And all these benefits are more fully optimized on Cisco UCS than on any other server platform.

Cisco UCS implements local storage differently for a uniquely powerful experience. The Cisco UCS platform uses

an advanced cooling methodology and zero-oversubscription CPU mapping to provide the highest levels of

efficiency as well as best-in-class, consistent performance. Teams can manage hundreds of devices as easily as

one with the Cisco

Integrated Management Controler (IMC) or Cisco UCS Manager. Customers can also choose

the amount of storage necessary to meet their application needs: from 400 GB all the way up to 30 TB (for

example, for a 2-rack-unit [2RU] server).

NVMe Storage Solutions

NVMe storage solutions offer the following main benefits:

●

Reduced TCO: NVMe storage can be used to eliminate the need for SANs and network-attached storage

(NAS) or to augment existing shared-array infrastructure. With significant performance improvements

available in both cases, Cisco customers can reduce the amount of physical infrastructure they need to

deploy, increase the number of virtual machines they can place on a single physical server, and improve

overall system efficiency. These improvements provide savings in capital expenditures (CapEx) and

operating expenses (OpEx), including reduced application licensing fees and savings related to space,

cooling, and energy use.

●

Strategic partnerships: Cisco tests a broad set of NVMe storage technologies and focuses on three major

partners: HGST, Intel, and SanDisk. With each partnership, devices are built exclusively in conjunction with

Cisco engineering, so customers have the flexiblity of a variety of endurance and capacity levels and the

most relevant form factors, as well as the powerful management features and robust quality benefits that

are unique to Cisco.
