Cisco Converged Infrastructure with Microsoft
Private Cloud
• Converged infrastructure platform: With deep integration
with Windows Server® 2012 R2 and System Center 2012
R2
• Reduced risk: Prevalidated hardware to accelerate and
simplify deployment
• Lower cost: Compute, network, storage, and private cloud
in a turnkey platform
• Accelerated virtual machine (VM) deployment with offloaded
data transfer for ultrafast cross-protocol file transfer VMs in
minutes
• Windows® Azure Pack for service provider–ready self-
service portals
• High availability (HA) from hardware layer to fabric
management, no single point of failure
