UCS Advantages Why? • UCS = Unified Management, Comprehensive • UCS converges management in the fabric to provide Service Profiles, Open XML API a single, feature-rich, point for all LAN, SAN, and • Unified Fabric = Unified Ports, Flexibility, HW Mgmt. UCS Service Profiles simplify deployment and ongoing management – at no extra Scalability, Simplicity cost. • Policy-based VM connectivity and mobility with • Unified Fabric presents up to 80Gb of redundant BW VIC 1280 (Virtual Interface Card); Up to 80Gb and all of the benefits of the award-winning VIC I/O per HW-blade! card. Cisco Confidential – Internal Use Only UCS Is Unified Open API for Single integration into existing Unified Management environments System Legacy Blade Management Approach
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 UCS Is Revolutionary Embedded Management Legacy UCS Separate Management HW/SW Converged LAN/SAN AND MGMT Within Fabric LAN A LAN B SAN A Mgmt

Servers as a Resource, Awaiting their Identity
• 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. Traditional Server Deployment
