UCS Is To Physical As VMware Is To Virtual

• Single point physical infrastructure management• Fully capable XML API• Policy based configuration management• Template based configurations• OS migration between physical

servers

Network Integration of UCS Manager and VMware vCenter

• No other joint solution moves network QoS and security settings with virtual machines, automatically and simultaneously.

• Integrated port profiles and port groups reduce chance of error and increase security, eliminating downtime.

VM-FEX virtual machines appear in the Virtual Machines tab in UCS-M

UCSM VM-FEX Integration

UCS & VMware Auto Deploy

Automated Provisioning of Hypervisors

• VMware Host Profiles completely define the hypervisor configuration

• Cisco UCS Service Profiles completely define the physical server configuration

• Autodeploy enables network based provisioning/booting of hypervisors

• UCS Autodeploy integration allows for one click provisioning of fully configured hypervisors

Without UCS

Associate boot image one server at a time

UCS Enhanced Auto Deploy

Automatically associate boot image

UCS & Auto Deploy Operational SimplificationProfile-Based Provisioning Integrated with vSphere 5

VMware vSphere 5 Auto Deploy• Boot servers over IP networks using shared

storage• Link each new physical server to a vCenter

boot image

Server #1

Select a server: go to server element manager, find server, copy MAC address

Find Auto-Deploy image: go to vCenter, select image, enter server MAC address

UCS enhanced Auto Deploy

• Link service profile template to a vCenter boot image

• Deploy many vSphere servers with a single click

• Policy enforced: saves time and reduces errors

UCS vCenter Orchestrator Plug-In

Cisco release

Auto-derived from the existing UCS XML-API

Automates frequently performed administrative UCS tasks

Integrate physical infrastructure management into VMware’s virtual infrastructure management tools

FeaturesFeatures

UCS Plugin for vCenter

A plugin to the VMware vCenter web console that gives virtualization administrators direct management of UCS hardware from within the vCenter console

View physical infrastructure from within vCenter

Correlate virtual and physical resources

Quick access to KVM, UCSM, & LED indicator

Released CQ3 2012

Cisco UCS vCenter Plugin Phase I

Provide a single point of administration for both physical and virtual infrastructure

Streamline infrastructure management by tracking virtual & physical relationships

Why is Cisco best for Desktop Virtualization?-Streamlined Manageability

VDI Can Be Complex – You Need Streamlined, QoS-Enabled Infrastructure

•Combines multiple disparate technologies working in concert – compute, storage, software, network, security

•Cisco UCS with VM-FEX offers granular QoS controls for virtual desktop pools

•Cisco UCS Manager in concert with VMware management tools along with a rapid, stateless provisioning model
