Cisco UCS X-Series

Cisco and Hitachi Vantara are known for deploying proven solutions that make an immediate impact for our customers. Together, we bring a joint portfolio of network, compute, and storage technologies to tackle the greatest challenge of our time.

Congratulations to our valued partners at Intel for their momentous launch of the new 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable Processors that are powering our latest UCS platforms. It’s another great example of how our two companies are delivering breakthrough innovations and unprecedented value for customers everywhere.

Cisco, Cloudera, and Nvidia have partnered to deliver hybrid and/or private cloud solution that meets all the above requirements. The architecture has the Cloudera Data Platform (CDP) software running on Cisco Data Intelligence Platform (CDIP) with Nvidia GPUs.

This is the second blog on Cisco UCS X-Series as part of a converged infrastructure solution with 100G Unified Fabric. This week it’s FlashStack. What is FlashStack? The FlashStack solution is a validated, converged infrastructure developed jointly by Cisco and Pure Storage first announced in 2014. The solution offers a predesigned architecture that incorporates computing […]

Earlier this year Cisco and NetApp introduced FlexPod XCS bringing visibility, automation, flexible consumption, and hybrid cloud operations to FlexPod. FlexPod XCS is a suite of capabilities designed to simplify operations and accelerate the delivery of modern apps. FlexPod XCS is fully managed by Cisco Intersight and provides five key capabilities.

Only Cisco unifies networking and computing in a way that works for both server and network admins. We provide scale, aggregation, and manageability in a way that simplifies operations for IT. Unified Fabric provides both CapEx and OpEx benefits that help your company.

Cisco, our partners, and our customers are exploring many innovative and novel options to reduce data center impact on the environment. This is in line with the research from IDC that revealed the importance of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues as a corporate priority at all levels of organizations around the world. 

Today, only Cisco UCS X-Series supports 100Gbps end-to-end in a modular server form factor.In UCS X-Series, all the networking components are 100 Gbps.  Deploying a 100G solution not only makes bandwidth intensive applications perform well but gives you flexibility in how that bandwidth is used.

In the first blog of this series, we saw just how easy it was to deploy a X210c Compute Node with Cisco Intersight. Last week, we showed how X-Series can deliver outstanding performance for Oracle databases. Today, we are going to go a bit deeper on configuration and show how easy it is to get great performance with very little effort.
