Uni�ed DataCenter

Overview

Uni�ed Data Center

Today's data center architecture must support business-critical applications such as video and big data while supporting a highly mobile workforce. As the evolution to cloud-based models continues, IT needs to be capable of easily incorporating cloud applications and services into this portfolio.

To meet these diverse requirements, Cisco o�ers the Uni�ed Data Center platform. This data center architecture combines computing, storage, network, security, and management into a simpli�ed infrastructure designed to automate IT as a service (IaaS) across physical and virtual environments. The results are increased �nancial e�ciency, more agile business responsiveness, and simpli�ed IT operations.

The Cisco Uni�ed Data Center architecture delivers greater agility and �exibility through three critical components: uni�ed computing, uni�ed fabric, and uni�ed management.

Uni�ed Computing

Cisco Uni�ed Computing System (Cisco UCS) uni�es computing, networking, management, virtualization, and storage access into a single, integrated, fabric computing architecture. This unique architecture simpli�es server con�guration, management, and provisioning while helping to enable visibility, management, and control in both bare metal and virtual environments. Cisco UCS is optimized for the new world of virtualization and cloud, better enabling the delivery of IaaS.

Uni�ed Fabric

Cisco Uni�ed Fabric provides the foundational connectivity. By unifying storage, data networking, and network services, Uni�ed Fabric delivers architectural �exibility and consistent networking across physical, virtual, and cloud environments.

Cisco Uni�ed Fabric supports convergence, network scale, virtualization-awareness, and intelligence through the industry-leading Cisco NX-OS.

Uni�ed Management

The Uni�ed Management component of the Cisco data center architecture features unique management solutions for integrated systems and cloud management. These solutions dramatically simplify the deployment of Cisco UCS-based solutions and include cloud automation, self-service provisioning, and catalogues which can help customers deliver a true private cloud solution.
