Capability/Feature Description
Management by Cisco
UCS Manager
■
Reduces TCO by removing management modules from the chassis,
making the chassis stateless, and UCS systems management inherently
scalable
■
Provides a single, highly available management domain for all system
chassis, reducing administrative tasks through automated service profile
configuration
Unified fabric
Decreases TCO by reducing the number of network interface cards (NICs)
,
host bus adapters (HBAs)
,
switches, and cables needed
Support for one or two
Cisco UCS 2100
or
2200
Series Fabric
Extenders
■
Eliminates switches from the chassis along with complex configuration
and management of those switches, allowing a system to scale without
adding complexity and cost
■
Allows use of two fabric extenders for redundancy or aggregation of
bandwidth
■ Enables bandwidth scaling based on application needs; blades can be
configured for 1
