Handling and scalability are most important – a unified converged platform is needed

In the past, the capacity and performance of individual servers were in focus. The focus is now on how the entire data center, all servers, and all other equipment perform. With Cisco’s platform UCS, the chances of success increase.

Great demands are placed on a modern server platform. It should not only be reliable and deliver good performance. It must also be possible to scale up and down in a predictable way. Integration with networks, storage platforms, virtualization, and other solutions must be reliable and straightforward. And it must be easy to manage.

A popular way to row all challenges in port is to use a converged solution. This means that all necessary components are packaged in an integrated, tested, and validated platform, with an administration interface delivered as a product.
