Surviving a 20-year team-up: What UCS means to Cisco and Oracle |#OOW14
Cisco’s J.P. Van Steerteghem in theCUBE with Jeff Frick
The development of the Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) has strengthened the 20-year relationship between Oracle Corp. and Cisco Systems, Inc., said Cisco Senior Director of Systems Engineers for the Cisco Global Data Center and Virtualization J.P. Van Steerteghem. In a live interview with SiliconANGLE’s theCUBE at this week’s Oracle OpenWorld conference, Van Steerteghem describes how Cisco and Oracle work together to ensure that Oracle apps run well on servers. So far, they have set 37 world record performance benchmarks of Oracle apps on top of UCS.
The purpose of these benchmarks, explained Van Steerteghem, is to engender trust among customers that integrated systems based on Cisco, Oracle, and 3rd party storage. So far the partnership has worked extremely efficiently.
The UCS server technology, said Van Steerteghem, abstracts the “hardware from applications” and stores a lot of the information required to make the server work in a software service profile. “Abstraction at the server level,” said Van Streeteghem, “makes it really ready for customers to deploy servers in a UCS environment.”
