 With the announcement of their Unified Computing System (UCS), Cisco has changed the landscape of virtualization completely. UCS combines compute (servers), network (LAN), storage (SAN) and virtualization technologies in a cohesive system that is designed to reduce your total cost of ownership (TCO) while increasing business agility. |
Sirius can help you determine the best strategy for your data center needs.

Whether the system has 1 server or 320 servers with thousands of virtual machines, next-generation data center platforms amalgamate all resources to participate in a unified management domain designed to:
- Enable scalability through a design for up to 320 discrete servers and thousands of virtual machines in a single highly available management domain
- Radically reduce the number of devices requiring setup, management, power, cooling, and cabling
- Integrate a low-latency, lossless 10 Gb Ethernet unified network fabric with enterprise-class, x86-architecture servers
- Increase IT staff productivity and business agility through just-in-time provisioning and mobility support

The Cisco Unified Computing System is built from the following components:
- Cisco UCS 6100 Series Fabric Interconnects is a family of line-rate, low-latency, lossless, 10-Gbps Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet interconnect switches.
- Cisco UCS 5100 Series Blade Server Chassis supports up to eight blade servers and up to two fabric extenders in a 6 rack unit (RU) enclosure.
- Cisco UCS 2100 Series Fabric Extenders bring unified fabric into the blade-server chassis, providing up to four 10-Gbps connections each between blade servers and the fabric interconnect.
- Cisco UCS B-Series Blade Servers adapt to application demands, intelligently scale energy use, and offer best-in-class virtualization.
- Cisco UCS B-Series Network Adapters offer a range of options, including adapters optimized for virtualization, compatibility with existing driver stacks, or efficient, high-performance Ethernet.
- Cisco UCS C-Series Rack-Mount Servers extend the benefits of the Unified Computing System to a rack-mount form factor.
- Cisco UCS C-Series Network Adapters offer a choice of four types of PCI Express (PCIe) adapters.
- Cisco UCS Manager provides centralized management capabilities for the Cisco Unified Computing System.
