“Now, if new blade servers need to be added, almost anyone can plug a new

blade into the chassis and deploy it from Cisco UCS Manager in under an

hour...”

“Cisco UCS helps us deploy infrastructures five times faster, allowing our best

engineers to work on customer-driven initiatives instead of data center

deployment.”

“The model-based service profiles make it easier for junior engineers to

provision new deployments, which enables our more experienced engineers to

focus on more strategic initiatives.”

“Cisco UCS has helped to revitalize our operations. We can focus on delivering

higher-value, innovative new services to citizens and spend less time

troubleshooting issues and performing routine tasks.” Country Fire Authority, Melbourne

“Service profiles have already cut firmware upgrade time from 16 hours to 2

hours— with no additional headcount required.”

“The team tells me that UCS is easier and faster to manage than other servers

due to Cisco UCS Manager with service profiles,” Heiden says. “They are really

happy with it and we freed up resources for other important projects.”

This graph compares the 3-year TCO for 96 HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen9 Servers with the 3-year TCO for 96 Cisco UCS C240 M4 Rack Servers. Each server has two Intel® Xeon® processor E5-2643v4 CPUs, 256

GB of memory. HPE networking includes six 1 Gigabit Ethernet and two 8-Gbps Fibre Channel connections for the servers and corresponding HPE switches. This is compared with the Cisco VIC 1227 mLOM dual-

port 10-Gbps Unified Fabric adapter for Cisco rack servers and corresponding switches. Pricing is as of June 2, 2016.

Average 78% Reduction in Cabling with an Average Cost Savings of 68% BASED ON 33 AND 9 CUSTOMER CASE STUDIES, RESPECTIVELY

Simplified cable management: With a unified fabric design and integrated

network and storage access, the new Cisco Unified Computing System

deployment uses 66 percent less cabling.

… Schrey found a key selling point in the system’s unification services, which

aggregate server cables including Ethernet and fiber channels. “Multiple fabrics

are a lot more costly and can be difficult to manage, so having the unified fabric

option was ideal.” Florida Institute of Technology Aviation

Cable management was an ongoing challenge in the previous environment.

“With its integrated network and storage access, Cisco UCS required the

fewest cables to purchase and manage of any platform we evaluated.”

Average 49% Reduction in Power and Cooling Costs BASED ON 71 CUSTOMER CASE STUDIES

“We funded the implementation of Cisco UCS with an energy efficiency grant

from Salix Finance and The Higher Education Funding Council for England. So

far, we’ve seen a 10 percent reduction in power usage, and we expect the

solution to pay for itself within 12 months.”

The significant electricity, power, and cooling savings that will result from the

integration of UCS into its server operations positions MnDOT for eligibility for a

significant rebate, dependent on the energy savings that are being monitored

for the next two years.

Energy savings, in particular, have been impressive both in terms of reduced

power consumption and cooling requirements. Hi3G Access AB
