Cisco UCS and Dell PowerEdge M1000e: A Comparison

Right-Size Networking Bandwidth for Less Cost
Network bandwidth is crucial to getting information to the right place at the right
time. Not only do companies need the flexibility to meet current application
bandwidth requirements, but they must also be prepared for future bandwidth
growth. Rather than a rigid, fixed-I/O topology that requires customers to add more
in-chassis switches, Cisco unified fabric allows any server in the domain to access
the total uplink bandwidth to accommodate traffic bursts. For example, you can
double the bandwidth simply by increasing the number of uplink cables between
the chassis and the fabric interconnects and enable them with no downtime or
application impact. No planning, configuration, or cabling to the chassis switch
is required, as would be the case with Dell switches. Cisco UCS can scale blade
bandwidth as applications demand: up to 40 Gbps with the mezzanine LAN-on-
motherboard (LOM)–format Cisco UCS VIC 1340, or up to 80 Gbps with the Cisco
UCS VIC 1340 plus a port expander card. You are not forced to purchase and
overprovision in-chassis switches regardless of application requirements. Because
Cisco UCS architecture requires fewer components to scale your bandwidth for
peak traffic flows, you don’t pay for bandwidth or the associated components that
you don’t need.

Revolutionary Management
With Cisco UCS, servers, connectivity, and management are inseparable. The
complete abstraction of configuration information creates an on-demand, zero-
touch environment. Cisco UCS was designed from the beginning with embedded,
all-inclusive, model-based management through Cisco UCS Manager. Cisco
UCS is intelligent infrastructure that is self-aware and self-integrating. Every
server connected to Cisco UCS, whether it is a blade server or a rack server,
is automatically detected and placed in a resource pool and even automatically
configured if you so desire. The system is built from the foundation so that every
aspect of server identity, personality, and connectivity is abstracted and can be
applied through software using a Cisco UCS service profile. With Cisco UCS,
servers are configured automatically, eliminating the manual, time-consuming, error-
prone assembly of components into systems. With Cisco VICs, even the number
and type of I/O interfaces are programmed dynamically, making every server ready
to power any workload at any time. Cisco service profiles can be quickly created
from templates, enabling fast configuration of one or 100 blade and rack servers in
just a few minutes.

Cisco UCS Manager is integrated, model-based management. With Cisco UCS
Manager, administrators manipulate a model of a desired system configuration
and associate a model’s service profile with hardware resources, and the system
configures itself to match the model. This automation accelerates provisioning and
workload migration, delivering accurate and rapid scalability. For the first time, you
have an automated, policy-based mechanism for aligning server configuration with
workload. The result is increased IT staff productivity, improved compliance, and
reduced risk of failures due to inconsistent configurations.

Cisco UCS Manager can be accessed through a GUI, a command-line interface
(CLI), or an open, standards-based XML API that is used by a large ecosystem
of management tools. Cisco UCS Central Software, an extension of Cisco UCS
