Data Center

FlexPod Datacenter has been enhanced by the new Intel Xeon 3rd Generation Scalable processor based B200 M6. This is the ideal platform to host Microsoft SQL Server 2019 databases and applications. This new Cisco Validated design shows the best practices to set up this Converged Infrastructure to provide the best performance, quickly, leading to a lower total TCO for your organization.

Infrastructure as Code is becoming the operational link between DevOps and NetOps. Working with Cisco Nexus Dashboard and Intersight, operations teams can tightly integrate and automate Day 0 to Day-N processes for critical hybrid cloud and multicloud applications.

When evaluating servers for your next project, at the edge, in the data center, or someplace in between, you should also evaluate how they are managed and what else that management platform has to offer.

Cisco UCS X Fabric Technology is the second fabric in X-Series, named for its versatility and flexibility. While Unified Fabric is Ethernet-based, UCS X-Fabric blurs the lines between rack and blade servers. It allows you to compose system policies in Cisco Intersight and enables hybrid cloud services such as Intersight Workload Optimizer, Intersight Cloud Orchestrator, and AppDynamics.

Deep linking and integration of ThousandEyes visibility with Nexus data center infrastructure provides access to the KPIs to measure network and application performance and quickly detect and resolve network issues.

One of UCS’ biggest benefits has always been Unified Fabric. That is carrying data, storage, and management traffic over a single wire. The IFM combined with Cisco VICs deliver Unified Fabric. Reducing the number of cables per server (CapEx and OpEx considerations but TCO will be in a future blog) while being able to deliver the right amount and type of bandwidth to the server depending on the application is the hallmark of UCS. With the IFM, UCS X-Series ensures fast and secure delivery of packages (data).

Cisco UCS X-Series was designed to be modular, expandable, and blur the lines between blade and rack servers. It all starts with the Cisco UCS X210c Compute Node.

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) provides the means to automatically deploy both the Cisco ACI network infrastructure configuration and the BIG-IP L4-L7 services for applications. Here, we provide our customers a joint solution and a series of tools that can be used to start their IaC journey.
