Cisco UCS Advantage: Unified ManagementRobust Management Delivers Superior Programmability, Scalability,and Automation

Unified system

approach

All elements of the

system are

software

programmable

using templates


• Industry-leading tool to provision, manage, and monitor all software and

hardware components

• Provides policy and model-based management that improves agility and

reduces risk

• Uses autodiscovery to detect, inventory, manage, and provision system

components

Cisco UCS

Manager

• Manages multiple, globally distributed Cisco UCS domains with

thousands of servers from a single pane

• Provides global configuration capabilities for pools, policies, and firmware

Cisco UCS

Multidomain

Manager

Cisco ONE™

Enterprise

Cloud Suite

• Delivers a unified converged infrastructure management solution

• Provides programmable application containers across all system

resources, extends automation benefits to the entire infrastructure stack

• Provides private and hybrid cloud management

Abstraction of all configuration and identity information into a service profile speeds deployment, reduces errors, and lowers costs

Cisco UCS Advantage: Programmable Infrastructure Policy-Based Management
