Oracle is the choice for many enterprise database applications. See and read why Cisco UCS X-Series is an ideal choice for your Oracle workloads.

The UCS X-Series powered by Cisco Intersight was purpose-built through foundational innovations for transforming on-prem compute deployments for hybrid cloud operating models. One of the most innovative aspects of the X-Series is its versatility as demonstrated by the evolutionary aspects of the X-Fabric and its modular system design that blurs the line between rack and blade server form factors.

Use Ansible to stand up a cluster and support your on-prem Kubernetes environment on X-Series. Our Cisco Validated Designs (CVDs) help you design, deploy, and extend new technologies by offering best practices along with server, storage, and network configurations.

The integration of Cisco Intersight and Ansible by Red Hat provides a software-defined approach to the management of the entire hardware and software stack. This solution delivers some significant benefits.

Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller (NDFC) is a scalable application for managing Fibre Channel SAN. NDFC One View provides insights into what is happening within the Fibre Channel SANs at multiple locations in a single pane of glass.

The world of data center networks is evolving at an ever-increasing pace. Businesses are being faced with the growing complexity of scaling data center fabrics, while also ensuring the isolation and security of customer data. Fundamental to this isolation of customer traffic is network virtualization, of which Cisco has been a constant innovator.

VDI users with accelerated, GPU enhanced desktops will have a better experience and be more productive. Adding GPUs to modular, blade servers has never been simpler or quicker. X-Series protects and extends your investment with a modular form factor. You can upgrade only the components that add benefit to your business be it the CPU/server, I/O, or GPUs.

Whether it is a new VDI environment to enable remote work or being able to decommission older, slower, more power-hungry servers, a new server provides no business benefits until it is deployed and in production.

While other network providers continue to use commodity chips, Cisco has been developing custom silicon for Nexus switches since 2014. Creating our own ASIC was the only way to fully realize the promise of software-defined networking and enable advanced capabilities like network segmentation, flexible forwarding, intelligent buffering, and deep telemetry.
