UCS Director
Manual processes require days
or weeks to deploy resources;
increases operating costs
Data center teams stay in rigid
silos, with complex hand-offs
between domains and teams
Static resource allocation
results in under-utilization of
resources and inefficiency
Reduces resource deployment from
weeks to minutes
Allows IT teams to work together;
encourages teamwork resulting
in competitive innovation
Delivers unified automation
and management for optimum
utilization and efficiencies
