*Intel analysis, 2013; Software and workloads used in performance tests may have been optimized for performance only on Intel microprocessors. Performance tests, such as SYSmark and MobileMark, are measured using specific computer

systems, components, software, operations and functions. Any change to any of those factors may cause the results to vary. You should consult other information and performance tests to assist you in fully evaluating your contemplated

purchases, including the performance of that product when combined with other products. For more information go to http://www.intel.com/performance

• An architecture designed for Industry Leading Performance

• Cisco UCS Innovation – True Unification of Servers

LAN and SAN under a single pane of glass.

• Dramatic simplification of networking and cabling infrastructure –

Cisco UCS SingleConnectTM Technology.

• Complete Hardware abstraction – Manage the server identity, not the

hardware. UCS Manager abstracts 127+ identity and configuration

settings including BIOS, firmware, QoS, etc. and make them fully

transportable.

• Open Architecture, rich interoperability across management and platform

ecosystems – Support for tens of thousands of applications.

• Cisco UCS Converged architecture – Lower Total Cost of Ownership

Cisco provides a dramatically Simpler Architecture than IBM, HP and Dell Cisco UCS infrastructure scales easier and for less

UCS scales in 8 server increments vs. 16 for HP & Dell, 14 for IBM

81% Less with UCS, to add the 17th server capacity vs. HP

HP is $60,545 vs. Cisco UCS only $11,736 to add a chassis

$48,809 Less with UCS, to add the 17th server slot.

82% Less with UCS, to add the 14th server capacity vs. IBM

IBM is $65,407 vs. Cisco UCS only $11,736 to add a chassis

$53,671 Less with UCS, to add the 14th server slot.

Cisco’s Unified Management drives management costs lower Cisco UCS requires a single Management touch point for all blade servers, rack servers and fabric.

The others require multiple layers of added cost management tools.

Cisco UCS scales 77% faster than a comparable HP solution, with 66% fewer steps

Cisco’s Unified Fabric, scale out infrastructure costs are up to 45% lower. 96 blade server

capacity: $3,784 for HP infrastructure scaling per server capacity

$4,907 for IBM infrastructure

$2,260 for Cisco UCS infrastructure.
