configuration is required. Cisco UCS service profiles prepare every aspect of a
node’s identity, configuration, and connectivity, increasing efficiency and security
and reducing deployment time. This approach increases compliance and accuracy
and eliminates configuration drift that can cause downtime.
Our management approach is particularly important in hyperconverged
environments. Central management with role- and policy-based control over
resources fundamentally changes the way that you manage your infrastructure.
An important benefit of hyperconvergence is the capability to quickly adapt to
changing requirements, something that is impossible in first-generation products,
which require manual configuration and manual network integration. Cisco
HyperFlex Systems are suitable for both enterprise data centers and remote
and branch locations. Cisco UCS management helps you centrally manage your
hyperconverged environments as unique domains regardless of where they are
actually deployed.
If you are a new Cisco customer, you will discover how Cisco UCS management
makes you more effective and helps your IT organization become more agile through
fewer demands on staff time. If you are an existing Cisco UCS customer, you will
be able to use the same management approach for your all your infrastructure: from
enterprise applications to big data environments.
