UCS: Unified Computing System:
Designed for the Cloud
Unified Fabric –
Fabric Extenders
• Simplify I/O infrastructure and management
• Reduce support infrastructure up to 50% –
NICs, HBAs, chassis interconnects, cabling
Embedded –
Unified
Management
• Single, highly available point of management
• Reduce management tools and consoles
• XML API designed for automation and cloud deployments
Extended Memory
Technology
• More economical footprint for memory-intensive workloads
• Higher VM consolidation ratios
• Large-dataset workloads on two socket servers
Virtual Adapters
• Flexible I/O consolidation
• Integration with leading Hypervisors
Stateless
Computing–
Service Profiles
• Configure servers and network connectivity as single action
• Faster provisioning – reduced spares inventory
• Abstracts automation from HW details, easing new HW introduction

Requirements for Hybrid Cloud
Enterprise Data Center
(Private Cloud)
Service Provider
Public Cloud
• Transparency: Transparently migrate any application to public cloud
- No change to application’s IP address
• Consistency: Ensure consistent operation (network policies, firewall policies, …)
across Enterprise DC and public clouds
• Security: Maintain complete isolation in public cloud (across multiple enterprises)

VPC-A
VPC-B
Enterprise-B Data Center
(Private Cloud)
Ensure isolation and
security in public cloud
• Transparent Application Migration
• Consistent network experience
• Secure container in public cloud

Workload Mobility
Service Localization
Network services (firewall, load balancer,
etc..) available at scale, where needed, at
low cost
IP localization
Optimize workload availability
and performance across global
Data Centers
OTV

VM-Awareness:
L2 Domain Elasticity:
Consistent management of
network policy for virtual
OTV
machines
Enabling VM Mobility within
and between Data Centers
OTV
Device Virtualization:
Virtualized network devices
provide capex reduction
(device consolidation) and
opex reduction (less managed
devices)
