Does Cisco UCS outperform its competitors ? | #oow15

Cisco Systems, Inc.’s Unified Computing System (UCS) uses essentially the same processors as its competitors. But it uses them differently to deliver high performance to more than 30,000 customers, according to Girish Kulkarni, Cisco’s senior product marketing manager.

“Each vendor and competitor has access to the same processors,” Kulkarni told Stu Miniman,cohost of theCUBE, from the SiliconANGLE Media team, during Oracle OpenWorld 2015. “But the architectural innovations that we have bring out the real power of the Intel x86 processor, which allows Cisco UCS to perform better than what our competitors can achieve.”

Cisco reports that UCS customers have seen an 83 percent reduction in provisioning times and a 66 percent reduction in ongoing management costs.

“Cisco UCS unifies your compute, networking, storage and management resources and provides the foundation that allows you to provision these resources based on your applications,” said Kulkarni. “You can tune the system within minutes. That drives performance, because you can quickly provision the system.”
