What if you could extend the power of the Cisco
Unified Computing System

(Cisco UCS

) to

unified computing, storage, and networking?

Challenges

Customers need to support business-critical applications with no

downtime and with reduced capital and operating costs.

Especially in distributed IT environments, which typically have

few IT resources onsite, and external storage deployments at

every site are expensive and complicated to set up and

maintain.

Cisco and StorMagic Solution

Cisco and StorMagic have designed an enterprise-class software-defined storage solution that addresses the

needs of remote, branch-offices (ROBO) environments and is simple to deploy and manage. The solution is built

on best-in-class Cisco UCS servers, an industry-leading hypervisor, and software-defined storage components

from StorMagic (Figure 1):

●

Cisco UCS Mini provides a robust, scalable, unified computing, storage, and networking platform in a
compact form factor.

●

VMware vSphere is industry-leading server virtualization software.

●

StorMagic SvSAN virtual storage appliance (VSA) delivers highly available shared storage services,
essential for implementing advanced virtualization features such as VMware vMotion and Distributed
Resource Scheduler (DRS).

The solution is orderable via a single SKU and is shipped preconfigured and installed with ESXi from the Cisco

factory, making ordering simple and installation quick for customers.
