Virtualization architectureWith and without UCSVirtualization has been promised as the answer. However, Virtualization Solutions to date only address part of the
problem, and has done so by increasing operational expenses, infrastructure complexity, and risk.
IT must try to weave together network, compute, virtualization and management
software= High complexity and cost
UCS is a fully integrated solution and brings together network, compute resources and
virtualization services= Simplify and automate setup and IT
operations, enable just-in-time provisioning
Current UCS

From cabling to your Data Center organization – UCS simplifies
From ad hoc and
inconsistent…
…to structured, but siloed, complicated
and costly…
…to simple, optimized and automated
What does your Data Center organization look like?

UCS
Not a point product – it’s a complete solution
UCS collapses the LAN, SAN and compute layers in one package
You said Compute layer ?
Yes, it means Cisco is entering the blade server market
UCS blade servers, LAN/SAN access layers, unified IO, central point of management all combined with several innovative differentiators

Mgmt Server
Why we are where we are Over the past 10 years
An evolution of size, not thinking
More servers & switches than ever
More switches per server
Management applied, not integrated
An accidental architectureStill a 1980’s PC model
Result: ComplexityServer spawl
More points of management
More difficult to maintain policy coherence
More difficult to secure
More difficult to scale

UCS ManagementUCM (Unified Computing Manager)
Management GUI is hosted inside the built-in Management-Node
As simple as pointing your browser to the switch’s IP
The GUI (called UCM) is Java-based
UCM is used to configure and monitor all aspects of the solution (LAN/SAN/Compute)
Key differentiator: the GUI is the one and only point of contact for all configuration and monitoring tasks
UCS is extremely extensible: it’s all XML behind the scenes !

Introducing Service Profiles
PHYSICAL SERVERS
Server Profiles
UCS Blades are very much like virtual machines in a Vmware environment
Configuration files store server characteristics:
Boot parameters
NIC and HBA configuration (MAC, WWN, etc.)
UUID
Various policies (what happens when a link fail, etc.)
All those items can be grouped in resource pools
Those service profiles are then mapped to physical servers to very quickly provision one or more appropriate servers

Stateless Computing
Server identity no longer has to be tied to physical server hardware
Profiles provide identity
Seamless server mobility
Stateless blades
Boot over network (LAN or SAN)
Boot order and boot devices are part of the pre-defined logical server profile
On-board disks can be used for temp, swap, etc.
