Transformational Solution
for Virtualization
Data centers have grown at such a rate that companies
must consolidate applications and servers and rely
on virtualization to improve manageability and control
capital and operating costs while retaining application
service levels. With help from Cisco and Microsoft,
you can reduce your costs, increase organizational
agility, and achieve tangible business results. The Cisco
Unified Computing System server platform combines
applications, networking, storage, and virtualization into a
cohesive system, while Cisco United Network Services
offers integrated application delivery, network security,
and network analysis for virtualized data centers and
cloud computing environments. Together with Microsoft
Windows Server 2008 R2 with Hyper-V technology,
these Cisco solutions offer a tightly coupled platform
for server, network, and virtualized machine deployment.
The Cisco Unified Computing System, Cisco Unified
Network Services, and Windows Server 2008 R2
with Hyper-V together provide cohesive computing,
networking, storage access, virtualization, security, and
application networking services, helping you operate
your virtualized data center efficiently. Transform your
data center by relying on a single system to manage
the various components of the data center architecture.

Benefits
By uniting applications, networking, storage, and
virtualization into a cohesive system, data center
solutions consisting of the Cisco Unified Computing
System, Cisco Unified Network Services, and Windows
Server 2008 R2 with Hyper-V help you transform your
data center, reduce overall costs, and improve energy
efficiency through:
Flexibility to match business needs and scale
accordingly: By using Cisco UCS C-Series RackMount Servers, you can deploy systems incrementally
by using as many or as few servers as needed on
a schedule that best meets your organizations
timing and budget. The servers can be deployed as
stand-alone servers or as part of the Cisco Unified
Computing System.
Integrated, unified, virtualized, and optimized
infrastructure that supports rapid application
workload deployment and reduced deployment
and migration risk: Unified management across
computing, networking, storage access, and
virtualization resources helps simplify and lower the
cost of management.
Dramatic reduction in network adapters, blade
server switches, and cabling: With Cisco Unified
Fabric, all network and storage traffic passes over
one cable to the parent fabric interconnects, where it
can be processed and managed centrally, improving
performance and reducing the number of devices that
need to be powered, cooled, secured, and managed.
Why Cisco?
We recognize that the intersection of networking and
software is at the center of a new era of innovation.
The Microsoft and Cisco alliance extends the value of
the Cisco Unified Computing System by integrating
the operating system, application, and management
stacks into manageable and scalable solutions. Today
and in the future, innovative approaches to virtualization
from Cisco and Microsoft can help companies achieve
the technology advantage they need to increase
organizational agility, adopt new business models,
increase profits, rapidly introduce new capabilities,
and enter new markets.
