We have to Simplify the Infrastructure to support Innovation

Industry-standard, bare-metal or virtualized x86-architecture servers with Cisco® innovations

Data, Storage & Mgmt networks combined Virtualization aware and scalable without I/O latency. Reduced components - less to manage, lower power

Server abstraction model designed for rapid deployment. Enhance SAP HA by moving profiles to new hardware Enhance SAP DT by moving profiles between data centers

Unified Computing

Integrated in top of rack network layer Policy based mgmt. enables stateless computing

Unified Management

Stateless Computing

Unified Fabric

Management for 160 blade or rack mount servers integrated into a single system Automatic integration of additional servers

Single Unified System

Cisco Unified Computing System

A Single System: Compute, Network, Virtualization, Storage Access

Future-Proof, Validated FlexPod Meeting Needs of Today and Tomorrow in One Platform

Starting Out Data Protection and Backup

More computing and less storage

Less computing and more storage

Deploy entry system, then scale up

VDI

Higher performance blades and more input/output operations per second (IOPS)
