Benefit |
| 10-Gbps unified network fabric |
● Low-latency, lossless, 10-Gbps Ethernet and industry-standard FCoE and native Fibre Channel fabric
● Wire-once
deployment model in which changing I/O configurations no longer means
installing adapters and recabling racks and switches
● Fewer interface cards, cables, and upstream network ports to purchase, power, configure, and maintain
|
| Virtualization optimization |
● Cisco
Data Center VM-FEX and Adapter-FEX technologies, I/O virtualization,
and Intel Xeon processor E5-2600 and E5‑2600 v2 product family features,
extending the network directly to virtual machines
● Consistent and scalable operational model
● Increased security and efficiency with reduced complexity
|
| Unified management (when integrated into Cisco Unified Computing System) |
● Entire solution managed as a single entity with Cisco UCS Manager, improving operation efficiency and flexibility
● Service
profiles and templates that implement role- and policy-based
management, enabling more effective use of skilled server, network, and
storage administrators
● Automated
provisioning and increased business agility, allowing data center
managers to provision applications in minutes rather than days
● Capability
to move virtual machines and their security features and policies from
rack to rack or rack to blade or blade to blade
|
| Intel Xeon processor E5-2600 and E5‑2600 v2 product families |
● Automated
energy efficiency reduces energy costs by automatically putting the
processor and memory in the lowest available power state while still
delivering the performance required and flexible virtualization
technology that optimizes performance for virtualized environments,
including processor support for migration and direct I/O
● Up
to twice the performance for floating-point operations. Intel Advanced
Vector Extensions (AVX) provides new instructions that can significantly
improve performance for applications that rely on floating-point or
vector computations
● Cisco
C-Series servers keep pace with Intel Xeon processor innovation by
offering the latest processors with an increase in processor frequency
and improved security and availability features. With the increased
performance provided by the Intel Xeon processor E5-2600 and E5-2600 v2
product families, Cisco UCS C-Series servers offer an improved
price-to-performance ratio, making Cisco UCS servers among the best
values in the industry
● Advanced
reliability features, including Machine Check Architecture Recovery,
automatically monitor, report, and recover from hardware errors to
maintain data integrity and keep mission-critical services online
● Hardened protection for virtual and cloud Environments: Establish trusted pools of virtual resources with Intel Trusted Execution Technology (Intel
TXT). Intel TXT ensures that physical servers and hypervisors boot only
into cryptographically verified “known good states.” It safeguards your
business more effectively by protecting your platform from the
insertion of malware during or prior to launch

|
| Integrated quad-port Gigabit Ethernet |
● Outstanding network I/O performance and increased network efficiency and flexibility
● Increased network availability when configured in failover configurations
|
| Trusted Platform Module (TPM) |
● TPM
is a chip (microcontroller) that can securely store artifacts used to
authenticate the platform (server). These artifacts can include
passwords, certificates, or encryption keys
● TPM
can also be used to store platform measurements that help ensure that
the platform remains trustworthy, helping ensure authentication and
authorization
|
| Tool-free access |
● Enhanced
serviceability through tool-free access to all serviceable items and
color coded indicators to guide users to hot-pluggable and serviceable
items
