Announcement – February 9, 2017Cisco Integrated System for Microsoft Azure Stack

Mike NeilCVPEnterprise CloudMicrosoft Corporation

“Microsoft and Cisco are proven innovators and trusted technology partners, giving customers

the confidence that their IT environments can be supported and secure. Microsoft Azure

Stack not only provides developers with an agile Microsoft PaaS environment that delivers

API portability to the Azure public cloud, but also provides increasing access up to 20,000

Azure-based applications,”

Cisco UCS Advantage - Unified ManagementRobust management delivers superior programmability, scalability, and automation

Unified System

Approach

All elements of the

system are

software

programmable

using Templates

• Industry leading tool to provision, manage and monitor all software and hardware

components

• Policy and model-based management, with service profiles, that improves agility

and reduces risk

• Utilizes auto-discovery to detect, inventory, manage, and provision system components

• Offers a comprehensive open XML API, which facilitates integration with third-party

management tools

UCS

Manager

• Manages multiple, globally distributed Cisco UCS domains with thousands of

servers from a single pane

• Provides global configuration capabilities for pools, policies, and firmware

UCS

Multi domain

Manager

Cisco

Enterprise

Cloud Suite

• Delivers a unified converged infrastructure management solution

• Provides programmable application containers across computing, networking, and

storage resources and extend automation benefits to the entire infrastructure stack

• Private and Hybrid Cloud Management

Abstraction of all configuration and identity information into a service profile speeds deployment, reduces errors, lowers costs

UCS Advantage: Programmable Infrastructure Policy based Management

UCS Management Software provides:

Provisioning

Monitoring

Maintenance

Growth

SpeedEase of

experimentation
