Network and communication company, Cisco last week announced new
innovations across its Unified Computing System to deliver a
third-generation fabric computing platform that will address the
virtualization and cloud computing challenges in work places, and helps
customers respond rapidly to changing business needs, scale their data
centers, and accelerate transition to virtualization and cloud
computing.
The Cisco UCS third-generation fabric computing platform incorporates
the new Intel Xeon processor E5-2600 product family and includes
multiple server form factors, delivering the industry’s highest server
density and efficiency, with up to eight times the memory capacity and
four times the I/O compared to previous UCS servers.
With the Cisco UCS Manager, IT administrators can now manage both
blade and rack servers as a common entity, and extends the management
domain to span thousands of servers across data centers around the
world.
New Cisco Unified Computing System Innovations Help Customers Build
Clouds and Deploy Business Applications Faster Additions to Cisco
Unified Computing System portfolio quadruple memory capacity, double
switching capacity and simplify management for large-scale UCS
deployments.
According to CISCO, UCS customers are enabled to report dramatic
operational and cost improvements: 30% lower infrastructure expenses,
90% reduction in deployment times, 40% improvements in application
performance, and 60% reductions in power/cooling costs.
