Unified Computing and Data Center Evolution

The Cisco Unified Computing System is a next-generation data center platform that:

• Unites computing, networking, storage access, and virtualization into a cohesive system
  
• Integrates a low-latency, lossless 10 Gb Ethernet unified network fabric with enterpriseclass,
  x86-architecture servers
  

 

This approach decouples scale from complexity. Whether the system has 1 server or 320 servers
with thousands of virtual machines, all resources participate in a unified management domain
designed to:

• Reduce total cost of ownership (TCO) at the platform, site, and organizational levels
  
• Increase IT staff productivity and business agility through just-in-time provisioning and
  mobility support

The system incorporates:

• A standards-based unified network fabric supported by a partner ecosystem of industry
  leaders
  
• Cisco VN-Link virtualization support
  
• Cisco Extended Memory Technology

It supports an incremental deployment model and protects customer investments with a future
migration path to unified computing.
