10 to 1 cable reduction
Reduced cabling by 78%
Consolidated from 540 to 12
cables, a 44-to-1 ratio
In addition, using the converged network adapter on the Cisco UCS instead of
separate Ethernet and Fibre Channel adapters enabled the company to decrease the
cable count by 78 percent, from 1440 to 250.
“With the Cisco UCS, we consolidated from 540 to 12 cables, a 44-to-1 ratio,” says
Butler. [Robert Butler, Global CIO Hay Group]
“Where we previously needed 80 cables, we now only need eight: a reduction by the
factor of ten. This not only cuts down the investment required, it also simplifies
scalability. Installation and maintenance work are also substantially reduced.”
77% average reduction in cabling with an average cost savings of 71%
based on 21 & 6 customer case studies respectively.

Average of 54% reduction in power &
cooling costs based on 44 customers case studies.
“Our previous servers were 2U with 128 gigs of RAM, holding around 35 virtual machines
[VMs], but using 2.5 watts of power per VM,” says Leonard [Gary, Dynamic Data Center
Consultant]. “In comparison, the UCS blades are half a U [half slot] with 196 gigs of RAM, can
hold around 50 virtual machines, and only use 0.85 watts of power per VM.”
“The simplified design of the Cisco UCS Servers improves airflow efficiency and can reduce
the number of components that need to be powered and cooled by more than 50 percent
compared to traditional blade server environments.”
Power usage has also gone down a full 94 percent. “When I joined Young America, we were
operating 41 racks and related gear nonstop. The room was hot, and we were running out of
power,” says Bienapfl. With UCS, he’s been able to optimize computing resources and
achieve a 10-to-1 compaction ratio. “We’ll soon be running our entire operations on just five
racks,” he says. “We’re already starting to turn off cooling units and downsize UPS systems.”

Average 84% reduction in provisioning times
based on 71 customer case studies.
“We used to spend up to a day and a half provisioning a new server. Now we can do that in 60
minutes.” “Now that we can provision our environment on demand, we’re able to summon
enormous computing power in almost no time at all. We don’t need to reserve capacity that we’ll
never use. In short, we can drastically minimize wasted time and resources while responding
much more quickly to customers’ needs.” Gopi Balasingam, Vice President of Operations
“With the number of systems we support, we’ve got development and test environments
coming and going all of the time,” Cavell says. “Before UCS, even if we had the gear, we were
lucky to spin up a few servers in three to five business days. Now, when requests come in,
it’s a matter of 20 to 30 minutes, and they’re up and running.”
The crucial feature of Cisco UCSM is its use of service profiles to provision server resources,
enabling infrastructure to be provisioned in minutes instead of days. “What Cisco has done with
server profiles is brilliant,” says Månsby. “You can’t have a server online without storage and
network, so it makes perfect sense to package all three administrative functions into a single
interface. It’s all about resource efficiency: if server, storage, and network are three different
phases, then you spend three times as long on a deployment or change as you would using Cisco
UCS. And time is money.” Stefan Månsby, Chief Business Development Officer
We used to spend 1.5 days
provisioning a new server. Now its
60 minutes.
Decreased time
from 5 days to 20 minutes

Average 61% reduction of ongoing administrative/management
costs based on 27 customer case studies.
“UCS brings a single operational tool that enhances the efficiency of the data center management
teams,” says Adam Baum, IT architect for the City of Mesa. “First, the use of service profiles allows
the city to reconfigure equipment as customer requirements change in a matter of minutes, versus
hours or days. Second, the single point of management that is inherent in UCS provides the ability
to view server, network, and storage health and performance from one pane of glass.”
“With Cisco UCS Manager service profiles, we can very quickly reconfigure any server blade so that
it’s ready for production in 15-20 minutes.” “… an administrator can change an operating system
configuration and then apply it to multiple server blades at the same time, saving time and reducing
configuration errors.” “Firmware upgrades are easier as well, because the IT team simply attaches the
upgrade to the template, and then Cisco UCS Manager automatically updates all server blades
associated with that template. Cisco UCS Manager templates enable the IT team to update all servers
in just 30 minutes, compared to 20 hours with the previous computing platform.”
Support time was also cut dramatically. Thomas and the rest of the team have been freed to work
on new projects in what he estimates is a twentyfold increase in productivity. Time saved is now
being directed toward expanding the internal team’s expertise and experience with other
technologies and applications, as well as launching new initiatives.
