What You Will Learn
Cisco Unified Computing System™ (Cisco UCS®) is more than a traditional blade solution. Unbound from traditional products and
thinking, Cisco UCS is the first truly unified data center platform that combines industry-standard, x86-architecture servers with
networking and storage access in a single system. This radically simplified solution is intelligent infrastructure that is automatically
configured through integrated, model-based management to accelerate deployment of all your enterprise-class applications and
services running in bare-metal, virtualized, and cloud-computing environments.

Traditional blade architectures—such as the Dell PowerEdge M1000e—originally evolved from the idea of repackaging rack servers
and switching into a smaller form factor. As density and performance increased, so did complexity. As a result, these traditional
blade solutions have failed to deliver the promised agility. Cisco revolutionized blade servers through the unification of networking
and management fabrics and delivers on the original vision of true consolidation and agility of resources, time, and energy. This
