The Cisco Virtualized Foundation Smart Solution helps midsize companies quickly deploy a virtualized infrastructure that is scalable, cost-efficient, and agile. Underlying the solution are Cisco technologies that simplify and unify infrastructure, while centralizing infrastructure management.
Cisco Unified Fabric simplifies infrastructure connectivity and reduces costs by consolidating traffic onto a single, high-performance, highly available network. The Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) has fewer components to purchase, configure, manage, and maintain, with more efficient scaling, resulting in lower cost of ownership. Cisco UCS Manager provides centralized management capabilities and creates a unified management domain.
Cisco and its partners can help your IT staff plan, build, and manage a virtualized infrastructure that:
Cisco uses an innovative, fabric-based architecture to unify IT infrastructure components, including computing, networking, virtualization, and management into a single platform. The resulting solution is more cost efficient, easier to manage, and faster to deploy, helping IT deliver greater value to the business.
The Cisco strategy is to rethink IT infrastructure to achieve cost efficiency, and create agility to respond quickly to business opportunities, without extensive integration and customization.
