When constructing a data center solution it is important that the hardware chosen for a specific role can reliable, scalable, and flexible.  With Cisco’s long standing history of having best of breed products it was evident that the Cisco Unified Computing System server line would be able to stand up to the test.  Cisco UCS unifies the networking, computing, and virtualization resources in your environment.  UCS has the capability to dramatically reduce the number of servers an organization has to purchase, deploy, and maintain.  Promedia has recognized these strengths and has become certified in both Cisco Data Center Networking Infrastructure and Cisco Data Center Storage Networking Specializations.

 

Cisco UCS B Series

Cisco’s UCS B Series enables you to deliver a scalable and flexible architecture for current and future data center needs while helping to reduce the total cost of ownership.

  • Increase performance, energy efficiency, and flexibility for demanding virtualized and nonvirtualized applications
  • Adapt processor performance to application demands and scale energy use based on need
  • Reduce the number of adapters, cables, and access-layer switches needed for LAN and SAN connectivity
  • Accommodate up to eight half-width or four full-width Cisco UCS B-Series Blade Servers
  • Mount in an industry-standard 19-inch rack and use standard front-to-back cooling
  • Reduce physical components, require no independent management, and improve energy efficiency

 

Cisco UCS C Series

Cisco’s UCS C series is the rackmount version of the Cisco Unified Computing System addressing fluctuating workload challenges through a varying balance of processing, memory, I/O, and internal storage resources.

  • Help reduce the total cost of ownership (TCO) and increase business agility
  • Balance simplicity, performance, and density for production-level virtualization, web infrastructure, and data center workloads
  • Extend Cisco Unified Computing innovations and benefits to rack-mounted servers with Cisco Extended Memory and Virtual Interface Card technologies

 

Cisco UCS Manager

Cisco UCS Manager enables management of all system components and configurations through a unified GUI interface.

  • Manages Cisco UCS servers across multiple blade chassis and rack servers as one logical, highly available entity with flexible service profiles
  • Provides granular UCS visibility and control to higher-level systems tools through a comprehensive XML API
  • Simplifies infrastructure provisioning, and shifts focus from maintenance to implementing strategic initiatives
  • Helps improve IT productivity and business agility through a programmable infrastructure
