At-a-Glance

Optimize Your Infrastructure for Each Application

in Seconds

In a dynamic business environment, business agility is critical to your

success. The Cisco® Composable Infrastructure software-defined

infrastructure (SDI) solution lets you treat infrastructure as code,

disaggregating compute resources so they can be programmed and

automatically managed more efficiently. This extends the functionality

of Cisco Unified Computing System™ (Cisco UCS®) management so

you can treat your infrastructure resources as fluid pools that can be

composed dynamically. Resources are allocated, provisioned, and

reprovisioned to support specific application and workload needs.

You can compose infrastructure in seconds, or let the application

compose the infrastructure automatically, on demand. The results are

significant TCO savings, greater business agility, and better application
performance.

Infrastructure as Code: Delivering Agility, Flexibility,

Performance

Cisco UCS was the first system to treat infrastructure as code. Its

innovative approach disaggregated network I/O and has delivered many

benefits for our users. As a result, Cisco UCS has gained broad market

acceptance with over 45,000 customers worldwide.
The innovative features of Cisco UCS include:
• Software object model: Cisco UCS hardware is not configured

directly, but employs a stateless server model. Everything about the

compute system, including server personality, configuration, and

connectivity, can be set on demand through Cisco UCS service

profiles.

• Virtual interface card (VIC): The number and type of I/O devices can

be configured on demand across physical and virtual servers.

• Network and port extension: Cisco Virtual Machine Fabric Extender

(VM-FEX) bypasses software-based switching of VM traffic by

the hypervisor for external hardware-based switching in the fabric

interconnect. It reduces the load on the server CPU, provides faster

switching, virtual NIC visibility, and supports rich network management

for local and remote traffic.

Composable Infrastructure extends the innovative capabilities of Cisco

UCS even further. In Cisco UCS M-Series Modular Servers, local

storage is disaggregated from a traditional monolithic server block

(Figure 1). When used in combination with the policy-driven automation
of Cisco UCS management software, you can realize significant
business benefits from SDI.
