Cisco UCS vs Legacy vs HP vs IBM Blade

1. Cisco UCS vs Legacy



Architecture and Scale
Cisco UCS Architecture
Legacy Designs
Unified Compute
Scattered, De-centralized Compute
•Stateless Computing, abstracted identity
•Portable Identities - form factor agnostic, blade to rack server identity transfer
•Physical & virtual functionally combined
•No truly functional identity abstraction
•Blade and rack servers segregated, no identity portability between form factors
•Physical & virtual identities independent





I/O and Virtualization
Cisco UCS Architecture
Legacy Designs
Unified Fabric
Siloed and Complex
•Single port - LAN, SAN, Mgmt path
•Reduced complexity
•Physical & virtual port end to end visibility and control with a single tool
•Multiple I/O protocols & stranded capacity
•High port consumption, no design leverage
•Limited & separate physical & virtual port visibility, minimal control, multiple tools





Management
Cisco UCS Architecture
Legacy Designs
Unified Management
Complex Mgmt Structure
•Single mgmt tool, single interface
•Highly collaborative roles based control
•Mgmt interface leveraged across multiple servers and domains
•Multiple mgmt tools, multiple interfaces
•Every Administrator has multiple tools
•Duplicative mgmt points and access, complicated and inefficient with no scale
