Average cost savings of 71% based on 25 & 7 customer case studies respectively.
77% Reduction of Cabling
Reduced cabling by 78%
In addition, using the converged network
adapter on the Cisco UCS instead of
separate Ethernet and Fibre Channel
adapters enabled the company to decrease
the cable count by
78 percent, from 1440 to 250.
108 cables to 8
Each server rack needs only one cable for the
converged network adapter (CNA) and a couple
of power cords. The in-rack cable count
decreased from 108 cables to 8.

Cisco helped all of us rethink the
server architecture with UCS, and I
this was 3 years ago when they
came out with it; the UCS
architecture changed the industry by
paving the way to the logical
disaggregation of the physical server
through fabric computing they proved
that you can buy white box
components from any vendor, even
one that had never build servers
before, and pay a premium for them,
achieve a true separation of logical
and physical design; Cisco did that
with blades and is now doing the
same with rack-mount servers, and
interesting thing is that while
everybody though that true
virtualization would lead to a drop in
the price point of servers, this
innovation has had the opposite
effect, because customers are
starting to realize that TCO is way
more important than the cost of
this when you negotiate with them,
but a couple of percentage points in
price pale in comparison to all the
other costs; power and cooling alone
will cost you more than initial
purchase price over the lifetime of a
server.

MPSC was at the end of its
previous rack mount server
lease and still wanted to
bring our density and

allowed us to do that as
