Performance
Scale
Cisco Unified Computing System
• Faster deploy/
provision
• Unification leads to
reduced complexity
• Management via a
single interface
• Networking with
fewer components
• Lower cost and
easier scaling
• Fewer management
touch points
• Stateless: any
resource, any time
• Better TCO/ROI
• Ultimate Scalability
• Enhanced design
capability
• Designed for the
future, today
• Brings out the best of
x86 architecture
• Optimized resource
utilization for compute,
networking, and
management

• Individual ToR switches to manage (IOS software
& Config)
• Routing/STP topology to maintain
• Discrete servers – BIOS, Boot Order, Firmware,
KVM, etc…
• Nx1GE – no easy scale to 10GE
