Blade and Rack servers

HP UCS
Scale requires large increments
Growing capacity
increases complexity
Deploying servers very manual
and time consuming
Scale in smaller increments
Unification yields constant,
leveraged infrastructure.
77% faster and 67% less steps.
UCS Automated Deployment / Provisioning
Faster, More Flexible Unification Reduces Complexity
Legacy Infrastructure Designs
• Infrastructures designed separately – not as a unified system
• Marketed as “converged”, but really management layers on top of multiple infrastructure silos
• Sprawling patchwork of tools, agents and management points
Complexity Drives Up Management Costs
• Rigid models to upgrade and maintain system-level designs
• Multiple tools means multiple points of configuration
• Brittle design with complex inter-dependencies
Eliminating Silos – Fabric Centric Architecture – Single Point of Mgmt.
