Cisco Cisco UCS B250 M1 Extended Memory Blade Server 정보 가이드
In addition to making RUN more productive and therefore more profitable, these time
savings also help to optimize the engineers’ skills, which is especially valuable in a
region where it can be difficult to recruit bilingual people with the right qualifications.
The unified environment of UCS also enables RUN to utilize the skills base within the
company more effectively and flexibly. If one engineer is absent, for example, it is
much easier to re-allocate tasks to other people because they are all equally familiar
with UCS, instead of having individual areas of expertise.

UCS creates a more flexible platform on which RUN can expand and diversify
the business, because it is not only possible but also easy to allocate resources
dynamically and to re-use them whenever appropriate. Server utilization is improving
due to the Cisco Extended Memory capability in UCS, which enables RUN to support
more virtual machines by increasing memory, without adding more processing power.
The company estimates that it is able to run between 30 to 40 percent more virtual
machines on each UCS blade compared to its old servers. Better server utilization
brings financial benefits too, by increasing the company’s return on its hardware
investments and reducing the license costs for virtual machines, which are calculated
on the number of processors. In the longer term, RUN will continue to benefit
financially from a reduced need to purchase new hardware.

RUN is making better use of its people and its technical resources, while creating
new services that will help generate more revenue. For example, the VDI service is an
important offer that will not only attract new business but also enable RUN to introduce
even more efficiencies, this time in its field operation. “VDI will make it much easier to
manage our customers’ infrastructure centrally, without having to visit remote sites in
order to solve problems,” says Werth. “Because our engineers will spend less time
traveling, we will be able to grow the business without recruiting too extensively.”
Extended Memory is particularly suited to running a VDI environment as it typically
enables more desktops to be supported on any one compute platform.

Next Steps
In addition to making UCS its new data center platform, RUN is also considering
UCS as a solution that it could resell to small business customers. “We see UCS as
a double opportunity,” says Werth. “Firstly, it allows us to sell services faster, create
new services such as VDI, and generate more revenue at reduced cost. Secondly,
we could resell it to small businesses and offer consultancy based on our own
experience of installing and using UCS in a production environment.”
