Cisco UCS C-Series Rack-Mount Servers The Computing Platform for Virtualised Data Centres Business Overview
The Data Centre is at a Market Transition Transformation Technology advances Energy efficiency Economic efficiency Dynamic business environment Challenges Scalability Management integration Application migration Coherent policies and security Virtualisation Cost Computing Network and Storage Access
Data Centre Virtualisation Today Virtualisation has been promised as the answer. However, virtualisation solutions to date may only address part of the problem, but have done so by increasing operational expenses, infrastructure complexity and risk. Virtualisation Platform Computing Platform High Complexity High Touch Network Platform Costs Site Cost HVAC Power Dwelling Costs Platform Cost Storage Network Software Server Costs Organisation Cost Complexity VM Administrator Co-ordination
Unleashing the Data Centre s Full Potential Solution Cohesive system that unites computing, network, storage access and virtualisation Management simplification Virtualisation Benefits Reduced TCO Increased business agility Improved energy efficiency Computing Network and Storage Access
Data Centre 3.0 Evolution Path Virtualisation has created a market transition. Servers are becoming fluid objects in the network. The data centre must evolve to continue to scale. Cisco is offering a fresh alternative to traditional ad-hoc add-on approaches for virtualised data centres.
