Cisco UCS: Redefine the Potential of Your Data Center 
The Cisco Unified Computing System™ (Cisco UCS®) is a revolutionary new computing 
architecture designed for IT innovation and business acceleration. The Cisco UCS 
enables Fast IT by combining computing, networking, and storage infrastructure with 
management and virtualization to offer exceptional speed, simplicity, and scalability. 
Cisco’s unique architecture provides pools of policy-based composable infrastructure 
that customers can optimize for traditional workloads, data analytics, and cloud-native 
applications, all within a common operating environment with open APIs for broad 
interoperability and automation. Cisco UCS has redefined computing to enhance 
application performance and scalability, simplify infrastructure management, reduce 
cost, and accelerate IT delivery to the business.

Challenges of Increasing Demand and Complexity 
Complex data center infrastructure hampers performance, increases operating costs 
and risk, and saps resources for innovation. Cisco has addressed these challenges 
with a radically simplified, fabric-centric architecture packed with innovation designed 
to support the widest range of workloads and IT operating models: Cisco UCS. 
Cisco UCS helps organizations:
•  Deliver critical applications with industry-leading performance, availability, scalability, 
and security
•  Accelerate the delivery of new application services
•  Incorporate a wide range of storage, operating system, hypervisor, and 
management tools to address any application requirement
•  Advance migration to a unified computing architecture with a complete set of 
plan-build-manage IT lifecycle services designed to reduce risk and increase 
performance
Cisco’s innovative fabric-centric solution provides industry-leading application 
performance, lower-cost computing, and opportunity for real IT innovation.
Innovations That Support Business Benefits
Cisco UCS is a radically simplified architecture that supports a wide range of workloads 
and IT operating models. Whether your data center consists of 20 servers or 1000, all 
resources are interconnected and centrally managed. 
System features include: 
•  Single unified system: Our approach is the first true unification of servers, networking, 
flash memory systems, and storage access. All the connections are already made for 
you by a high-performance computing fabric and centralized management.
•  Intelligent infrastructure: Hardware is automatically configured by application-
centric policies, ushering in a new era of speed, consistency, and simplicity for 
data center operations. Cisco UCS brings the flexibility of virtualized systems to the 
physical world in a way that no other server architecture can. 
•  Integrated management: Cisco UCS has an automation-friendly design that lets 
an entire ecosystem of high-level tools configure and manage servers through the 
industry’s only open, complete, and fully documented API. 
•  Interoperability: Cisco UCS supports 15,000 applications through certifications and 
integration with partners such as Citrix, Cloudera, Hortonworks, MapR, Microsoft, 
Oracle, Red Hat, SAP, Splunk, and VMware.
•  Integrated infrastructure: Cisco has partnered with major storage leaders (EMC, 
NetApp, IBM, Nimble Storage, and Hitachi Data Systems [HDS]) to integrate their 
systems with the Cisco UCS and Cisco Nexus® platforms to deliver validated 
infrastructure for any application, reducing time and risk for your deployments.
