Buy Fewer Servers
Without UCS Service Profiles
• Silos individually provisioned for peak demand and failures
• Idle hotspare servers require application specific HW & Firmware Image configurations
With UCS Service Profiles:
• Configure and provision bare metal on the fly with application specific Service Profile Templates
• Availability and burst capacity delivered with fewer spares

This graph compares the 3-year TCO for 100 HP ProLiant DL380p Gen8 Servers with the 3-year TCO for 100 Cisco UCS C240 M3 Rack Servers. Each
server has two Intel® Xeon® processor E5-2620v2 CPUs, 64 GB of memory. HP networking includes six 1 Gigabit Ethernet and two 16-Gbps Fibre Channel
connections for the HP rack servers. This is compared with the Cisco VIC 1225 dual-port 10-Gbps unified fabric adapter for Cisco rack servers and
corresponding switches. Pricing is as of March 27, 2014.

77% average reduction in cabling with an average cost savings of 71% based on 28 & 7 customer case studies respectively.
90% Savings
"The savings on cabling alone were around 90 percent. And this means not only one-off savings on investment costs, but also similarly reduced installation and maintenance expenses in Virtual Core customer projects.“ KAMP Netzwerkdienste GmbH
32
Cost dropped 70%
"Cabling costs alone have dropped by about 70 percent in the new data center, a significant figure because they used to represent up to 30 percent of each new deployment." Almaviva Tele Sistemi Ferroviari
60% Reduction
UCS has cut the number of cables required by more than 60 percent. Groupe Steria SCA

Power & Cooling – System Level Savings
• Smaller blade server increments reduces “stranded capacity”
• Easier power management with UCS Manager – No extra software to buy saving both CapEx and OpEx
• Industry leading virtualization performance improves server consolidation ratios
35

Power & Cooling – System Level Savings
• Fewer adapters to support IO requirements
• Fewer switches with a unified fabric – In the chassis and TOR
• Fewer cables for better airflow through the rack

Efficient Cisco UCS servers have also significantly reduced power and cooling in the data center. Transitioning to Cisco UCS lowered the average temperature in the data center from 73 to 69 degrees Fahrenheit, decreasing the need for powerful cooling fans. Combined with the reduced power consumption associated with the Cisco UCS blade servers, OCS cut power consumption by two-thirds in the data center for a significant cost savings.
37
Minnesota Wild reduce power by 63 percent and operate the data centers with 68 percent lower cooling costs.
“We’ve seen a 90 percent reduction in energy use.”
Average of 53% reduction in power & cooling costs based on 60 customer case studies.

"... bringing up a new server hosting several virtual machines took only 4 hours rather than the 3 days we had experienced before. One thing that stood out is that a single person can accomplish the task of building a system rather than requiring three people to deal with the same need.”
48
“With Cisco UCS Manager, provisioning 64 Cisco UCS Blade Servers to develop a new customer solution takes about an hour,” Shah says. “Provisioning 64 of our other servers generally takes 8-16 hours of staff time."
“… server deployment time has been reduced by between 80 and 90 percent, which means IT staff can focus more on mission critical or value added tasks.”
Average 86% reduction in provisioning times based on 84 customer case studies.

Furthermore, with the UCS platform, AUS is seeing a twofold improvement in performing routine administrative tasks. “For example, operations that once took a minute are now taking just under 30 seconds,” says Nujumi. “Multiply that by the thousands of such minor tasks we do, and it translates into the team spending much more time on service improvement and strategic issues.”
53
Average 74% reduction of ongoing admin/management costs based on 33 customer case studies.
“The Cisco environment is so easy to manage that we were able move more than 50% of the staff to other high-value roles,” ” says McIntosh. “Staff is now contributing to other vital areas of the business, such as disaster recovery planning and other activities.”
"In the past an IT manager could manage 15 systems. Now they can manage 50 systems.”
