Hyperconverged Infrastructure (HCI) with Cisco UCS and VMware vSAN

 

The storage landscape for blades is fast changing thanks to recent innovations in software driven by vSAN. Cisco UCS blades powered by vSAN enables high storage capacity points in a four node cluster and is a great fit for modern data center use cases such as VDI, Business Critical Apps, Web Applications etc.

 

Customers who have standardized on Cisco blades can now deploy vSAN without having to purchase additional storage only nodes and future proof their hardware investment, not having to move to rack mount storage dense servers to run their applications.

  • Rapid Provisioning
  • Unified Management
  • Linear Scalability
