How Cisco and Kelser Are Revolutionizing the IT Industry With Cisco UCS

Modern Data Center

Kelser Corp and Cisco have been working together to provide businesses with the latest technology, proving to be both leaders and innovators in the industry. Cisco’s Unified Computing System (UCS) helps businesses simplify their operations, reduce their costs, and increase their speed, while Kelser provides customized technology solutions that help clients get the most out of their technology investments.

Here’s a deeper look at how Cisco UCS functions, and how our teamwork is helping clients’ businesses to succeed in this fast-changing, technological world:

Cisco UCS

IT has been rapidly changing due to the increase of technology being used in business. Big data, virtualization, and the cloud have made IT infrastructure paramount for a business’ survival. As many data centers grow, their infrastructure becomes more complex, and requires more equipment, which drives up the cost, and slows down responsiveness. Furthermore, Cisco claims that maintenance consumes 75 percent of IT budgets.

Cisco UCS aims to simplify this process. It uses a fabric-centric architecture to enhance application performance and scalability, to speed up IT delivery to businesses, and to reduce CapEx and OpEx. Fabric computing enables UCS to integrate storage, networking, and servers into one system, which leads to better application performance.

Furthermore, Cisco UCS offers self-integrating components, and application-specific service profiles that eliminate manual infrastructure assembly, and repetitive system management tasks. Since the infrastructure is simplified, the system is scalable, and permits automation through an open XML API, with popular system management suites, and integration with orchestration tools and cloud architecture.

Cisco UCS supports applications that require bare metal or virtualized servers, local and centralized storage, rack or blade form factors, and scale-up or scale-out topologies. It also supports private, public, and hybrid cloud architectures, as well as dispersed data centers, centralized IT organizations, and multi-tenant architectures.

According to a SlideShare presentation from Cisco, some of the benefits of UCS include an 83 percent reduction in provisioning times, a 66 percent reduction of management costs, a 49 percent reduction of power costs, and a 77 percent reduction of cabling. In addition, it has a world-record application performance benchmark. These stats show that Cisco UCS is a superior economic, and performance option, which is why Cisco has grown to have over 43,000 customers in 2015, 85 percent of which are Fortune 500 companies.
