Cisco UCS reduce complexitywhat's not there must not be managed and can’t fail
Cisco architecture eliminates complete layers• Integrated LAN/SAN ports extended down to the
enclosure – “one hop” switching
• Fabric-Switches manage the whole row
• Extreme easy to extend without changing the FC Zoning using Service profiles• 15 minutes to add Chassis or Blades (UCSM auto-
discovery)
• 10 minutes to configure up to 56 virtual NICs and HBAs per blade
• 10 minutes to add an ESX server using Templates & PXE Boot
• 10 minutes to add an SAP App server using Tidal

Cisco removing the I/O bottleneckenables virtualization of large SAP databases
Software based Virtual Switching Hypervisor needs to switch LAN and storage I/O Consumes additional CPU cycles Adds significant latency to I/O Practically prohibitive for virtualization of larger
databases (SAP note: if you run into performance trouble with virtualization: move to bare iron. If trouble disappears, this was the right Solution)

Cisco solution: VM-FEX (Fabric Extender) Hypervisor vSwitch removal result in massive I/O

Unified FabricDramatic reduction in network adapters, blade-server switches, and cabling by passing all network traffic to parent fabric.
Embedded Multi-Role ManagementEmbedded in the fabric interconnects, managing all aspects of system configuration and operation.
Cisco Extended Memory Technology Provides more than double the amount of memory than traditional 2-socket servers, maximizing performance and capacity for demanding virtualization and large-dataset workloads.
VM-FEX Virtualization SupportGives network links connected to virtual machines the same status as physical links. Now virtual links can be centrally configured and managed without the complexity of traditional systems that interpose multiple switching layers in virtualized environments
Dynamic Provisioning - Service Profiles UCS Manager implements a policy-based management focused on service profiles and templates and stateless compute blades
© 2006 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Cisco ConfidentialPresentation_ID 29
Summary: what customer like on UCS• Extreme easy to extend without changing the FC Zoning anymore– just connect
fabric interconnect once to the existing DC infrastructure and add blades as you go• 15 minutes to add Chassis or Blades (UCSM auto-discovery)• 10 minutes to configure up to 56 virtual NICs and HBAs per blade• 10 minutes to add an ESX server using Templates & PXE Boot• 10 minutes to add an SAP App server using Tidal, cloning of QA systems• Application mobility through Service Profiles
– no need to generate new SAP license keys after system move– no need for cluster software to grant HW availability
• Palo Adapter: ASIC based low latency switch replaces Hypervisor soft switch• up to 56 virtual NICs and HBAs per blade dynamically configurable • 2 x 10GB (8 x 10GB mid of 2011)• Collapses virtual and physical switching layers• Massive I/O throughput improvements (less latency, interrupts, CPU cycles) • Enables end-to-end QoS per VM down to storage• Enables virtualization of large SAP databases
• I/O consolidation with standard FCoE, less Cables, less Ethernet & FC Ports
