Industry Solutions aimed at matching the needs of the maximum automation of important business processes.
Data Center server infrastructure is the main software and hardware components complex, which capacity is directly used by business applications. The efficiency of computing resources directly affects business applications performance and business processes agility.
Business Objectives
- Universal unified computing infrastructure for business applications with guaranteed computing resources: CPU and Memory.
- Ability to easily scale computing resources with minimal capital and operating costs; no need to fully upgrade server components with growth requirements of business applications to data center resources.
- Effective capacity utilization of computer resources without oversubscribing; maximizingROI of the solution.
- High availability for business applications regardless of who and where need access to information.
- Possibility to rapidly redistributecomputing resources, depending on the tasks and time intervals. For example, during the period of the financial statements, system may allocate a larger volume of computing resources to financial business applications.
- Centralized management of computing resources allows to quickly eliminate possible malfunctions and provide business process continuity; Data center computer system management does not require large IT stuffand is not dependent on scale and complexity of solution.
- Guaranteed availability of business-critical applications anywhere, anytime.
Solution Description
Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS)
Implementation of Cisco Unified Computing System leads to speed and agility benefits compared to traditional solutions for every company department: IT, financial, business.
Cisco UCS Fabric Interconnect
Cisco UCS Fabric Interconnect extends the Unified Computing System (UCS), providing high capacity, high port density and low power consumption.
Benefits
- With business grows, computing system can quickly and almost unlimitedly scale, keeping a single point of control over the complex computing resources.
- Cisco UCS Manager, management system, fits into the business processes of any company. In the case of rapidly changing business processes, management system allows administrators to manage computing resources more flexible, with extended privileges. In period of stable business processes, Cisco UCS Manager role-based access component allows strict control and delegate administrative privilegesto various employees for day-to-day operations.
- Business benefits from the ability to quickly relocate computing power for a variety of business applications.
- Innovative approach to manage IT staff. Shifting workforce focus from everyday repeatingadministration and management tasks to creative part of IT: optimizing, creating new things, business applications development.
- Fast and efficient computing system scale, fast reorientation of computing resources to new business objectives.
According to independent studies, the implementation of Cisco UCS system instead of traditional computer solutions will lead to:
- Reducing management cost of data center based on Cisco UCS to 30%-50%.
- Reducing cost of switches and switches ports for connecting servers. Simplified structure of Cisco UCS greatly reduces cost of physical connection.
- ReducingCAPEX of server infrastructure at the time of the purchase decision; the availability of deep discount programs &mdashl; SmartPlay’s.
- Savings on renting premises for placing equipment - Cisco UCS requires less space for the same computing power as compared to traditional solutions.
- Minimizing downtime during system maintenance with IT staff. Minimizing the financial losses associated with the unavailability of data center services and business applications.
- Reducing time of implementation and testing of new business applications by 75%.
- Average ROI of the project can reach 300%. The payback period 3.3 months.
- Quick and efficient management from one point of any quality and type of computing resources, including rack and blade servers by means of repeating templates.
- Most powerful computing resources of separate blade server, comparing to traditional blade server solutions on market.
- Universal converged input/output. Every server got 80Gbps I/O of unified transport: Ethernet, FC.
- Almost infinite scalability with one point management (Cisco UCS Manager)
- Role-Based Access to Cisco UCS Manager. Role granularity with ability to separate access to different components setup and provisioning (Ethernet, Computing, Storage) to different IT Specialists.
