Cisco ACI is a holistic architecture that introduces hardware and software innovations built upon the new Cisco Nexus 9. Series product line. Cisco ACI provides a centralized policy driven application deployment architecture, which is managed through the Cisco Application Policy Infrastructure Controller APIC. Cisco ACI delivers software flexibility with the scalability of hardware performance. The audience of this document includes, but is not limited to, sales engineers, field consultants, professional services, IT managers, partner engineers, and customers who want to take advantage of an infrastructure that is built to deliver IT efficiency and enable IT innovation. The Cisco Unified Computing System is a third generation data center platform that unites computing, networking, storage access, and virtualization resources into a cohesive system designed to reduce TCO and increase business agility. The system integrates a low latency, lossless 1. Gigabit Ethernet 1. Gb. E unified network fabric with enterprise class, x. The system is an integrated, scalable, multi chassis platform in which all resources participate in a unified management domain that is controlled and managed centrally.

Figure 3       Cisco Unified Computing System. The main components of the Cisco UCS are          Compute. The system is based on an entirely new class of computing system that incorporates blade servers based on Intel Xeon E5 2. Series Processors. Cisco UCS B Series Blade Servers work with virtualized and non virtualized applications to increase performance, energy efficiency, flexibility and productivity. Network. The system is integrated onto a low latency, lossless, 8. Gbps unified network fabric. This network foundation consolidates LANs, SANs, and high performance computing networks which are separate networks today. The unified fabric lowers costs by reducing the number of network adapters, switches, and cables, and by decreasing the power and cooling requirements. Storage access. The system provides consolidated access to both storage area network SAN and network attached storage NAS over the unified fabric. By unifying storage access, Cisco UCS can access storage over Ethernet, Fiber Channel, Fiber Channel over Ethernet FCo. E, and i. SCSI. This provides customers with the options for setting storage access and investment protection. Additionally, server administrators can reassign storage access policies for system connectivity to storage resources, thereby simplifying storage connectivity and management for increased productivity. Management. The system uniquely integrates all system components which enable the entire solution to be managed as a single entity by the Cisco UCS Manager. The Cisco UCS Manager has an intuitive graphical user interface GUI, a command line interface CLI, and a robust application programming interface API to manage all system configuration and operations. The Cisco UCS is designed to deliver          A reduced Total Cost of Ownership TCO, increased Return on Investment ROI and increased business agility. Increased IT staff productivity through just in time provisioning and mobility support. Internet Manager (Idm) 6.7.8 Full - Preactivated. A cohesive, integrated system which unifies the technology in the data center. The system is managed, serviced and tested as a whole. Scalability through a design for hundreds of discrete servers and thousands of virtual machines and the capability to scale IO bandwidth to match demand. Industry standards supported by a partner ecosystem of industry leaders. The Cisco UCS 5. 10. Series Blade Server Chassis is a crucial building block of the Cisco Unified Computing System, delivering a scalable and flexible blade server chassis. The Cisco UCS 5. 10. Blade Server Chassis is six rack units 6. RU high and can mount in an industry standard 1. A single chassis can house up to eight half width Cisco UCS B Series Blade Servers and can accommodate both half width and full width blade form factors. Four single phase, hot swappable power supplies are accessible from the front of the chassis. These power supplies are 9. N 1 redundant and grid redundant configurations. The rear of the chassis contains eight hot swappable fans, four power connectors one per power supply, and two IO bays for Cisco UCS 2. XP Fabric Extenders. A passive mid plane provides up to 4. Gbps of IO bandwidth per server slot and up to 8. Gbps of IO bandwidth for two slots. The chassis is capable of supporting future 8. Gigabit Ethernet standards. Figure 4       Cisco Blade Server Chassis Front, Rear and Populated Blades ViewThe Cisco UCS B2. M4 Blade Server is a half width, two socket blade server. The system uses two Intel Xeon E5 2. Series Processors, up to 3. GB of DDR3 memory, two optional hot swappable small form factor SFF serial attached SCSI SAS disk drives, and two VIC adapters that provides up to 8. Gbps of IO throughput. The server balances simplicity, performance, and density for production level virtualization and other mainstream data center workloads. Figure 5       Cisco UCS B2.
