John Chambers
Cisco‘s Commitment to Data Center
They Said It Couldn‘t Be Done
Demand for data center innovation has vaulted Cisco Unified Computing System
(UCS) to the #3 leader in the fast-growing segment of the x86 server market
UCS impacting growth of
established vendors like HP
Legacy offerings flat-lining
or in decline
Cisco growth out-pacing the market
Customers have shifted over
12% of the global x86 blade
server market to Cisco and
19% in the US

Mgmt Server A single system that encompasses:
– Network: Unified fabric
– Compute: Industry standard x86
– Storage: Access options
– Virtualisation optimized
Unified management model
– Dynamic resource provisioning
Efficient Scale
– Cisco network scale & services
– Fewer servers with more memory
Lower cost
– Fewer servers, switches, adapters, cables
– Lower power consumption
– Fewer points of management

UCS Advantages
• UCS = Unified Management, Comprehensive
Service Profiles, Open XML API
• Unified Fabric = Unified Ports, Flexibility,
Scalability, Simplicity
• Policy-based VM connectivity and mobility with
VIC 1280 (Virtual Interface Card); Up to 80Gb
I/O per HW-blade!
Why?
• UCS converges management in the fabric to provide
a single, feature-rich, point for all LAN, SAN, and
HW Mgmt. UCS Service Profiles simplify
deployment and ongoing management – at no extra
cost.
• Unified Fabric presents up to 80Gb of redundant BW
and all of the benefits of the award-winning VIC
card.

Legacy Competitors vs. Cisco UCS
UCS Is Unified
Management Single
Unified System
Open API for integration
into existing environments
Legacy Management Servers
• Required for Full Functionality
• Have to size, configure, maintain,
separate servers and OS
• Management Server Not
redundant
• Pairs of management controller
boards in EACH enclosure
Legacy Management Software
• Sits on high and ―pokes/peeks‖
hardware
• Tries to present single pain of
glass to multiple hodgepodge of
tools
Legacy Blade Management Approach
UCS Legacy
Server = Pool of Resources Server = Application
Inefficient Complex High Cost Fragile Efficient Agile Transformative
• Management is a Separate Fabric
• Each enclosure burdened with
HW, FW, Cables for Management.
Higher Availability, Fewer
Connections, Easy HW growth,
Flexibility to repurpose HW

UCS Is Stateless Computing
• UCS = Every server already attached to LAN/SAN/Mgmt
– This is the key to a highly utilized and flexible environment
– Question: What would it take for you to do this in your DC today?
• UCSM = Redundant fabric holds workload DNA. Why?
– Settings (FW, BIOS, Adapter, LAN, SAN, Storage, and many more) are
pushed out as profiles to available hardware.
– Legacy server vendors update hardware with bundles/revisions in
anticipation of application. UCS configures HW instantly based on the
profile for that workload type.
Servers as a Resource, Awaiting their Identity
Perform tasks for each server
Inhibits ―pay-as-you-grow‖ incremental deployment
Needs admin coordination every time
May incur downtime during deployments
Complex server replacement, upgrade, migration process
Most of these tasks need to be performed for replacement server
