Cisco UCS Invicta Scaling System 

Product Overview 

What if you could accelerate the performance of your mission-critical workloads? Transactions could be processed 

instantaneously. Users could analyze data and make better decisions faster. Batch processing jobs would go 

faster. And other important processes would deliver better performance. And what if you could easily reshape your 

infrastructure as demands on it change? Now you can. 

Cisco’s leadership in high-performance, scalable, solid-

state systems is dramatically improving application performance while simplifying data center operations. 

Meet the Cisco UCS Invicta

™

 Scaling System: the first truly enterprise-class, scalable, solid-state architecture. As a 

next-generation modular architecture, the Cisco UCS Invicta Series delivers the highest sustained write throughput 

in the industry. It supports all standard networking and file protocols. And it can serve up application workloads 

from a multitenant architecture in which applications coexist without performance degradation. 

Compared to similar technologies, the Cisco UCS Invicta OS outperforms. It was designed to use NAND flash 

memory for sustained high throughput, a high rate of I/O operations per second (IOPS), ultra-low latency, and fast 

write performance. 

Cisco’s application-centric approach, combined with a modular, scalable, high-performance architecture, let you 

improve performance of many types of workloads: 

● 

Analytics and intelligence: Extract, integrate, and analyze data up to 10 times faster. 

● 

Batch processing: Run batches without interrupting other workflow. 

● 

E-mail: Reduce time delays by a factor of up to 50. 

● 

Online transaction processing: Remove performance bottlenecks between servers and memory. 

● 

Video: Complete more transcoding tasks in significantly less time. 

● 

Virtual desktops: Improve overall user experience with desktops that launch faster and respond quickly 

while virus scanning. 

● 

Database loads: Dramatically reduce query response times. 

● 

High-performance computing (HPC): Leverage low latency IO requests to speed time sensitive applications. 

Features and Benefits 

Table 1 summarizes the features and benefits of the Cisco UCS Invicta Scaling System. 

Features and Benefits 

●  Enables the appliance to achieve high throughput, high IOPS rate, and ultra-low latency 
●  Greatly extends useful life of multilevel cell (MLC) media 
●  Optimizes write requests for flash-memory architecture-wear-leveling algorithms by committing all writes 

across the entire appliance 

●  Reduces power consumption and floor space for energy and space savings 

●  Through scale-up and scale-out architecture, provides flexibility to increase throughput or capacity, based on 

workload demands
