2 UCS: ¿Cisco Servidores?

3 En el liderazgo del mercado Blades X86
Servidores CISCO UCS En el liderazgo del mercado Blades X86 2009 2011 2012 2013 Overview GARTNER 2013 Gartner has published the 2013 Blade Server Magic Quadrant. Cisco UCS is in the Leader quadrant for the second consecutive year and has dramatically risen in that category. In 2012 UCS was just over the Leader line and in 2013 the Cisco dot has been placed nearly half way up the Leader Quadrant significantly closing the gap between established leaders HP and IBM. HP dropped down in the Quadrant and IBM did slightly move up on HP…more likely because HP dropped rather than any market disruptive moves by IBM.

The Dynamics Of The Enterprise Storage Market Various systems using a variety of media & software Storage Decisions Tape Capacity Disk Performance Disk Flash Memory/Solid State Backup and Archiving Data optimization technologies (e.g. dedupe) are driving tape to disk transition. All-Flash-Arrays Capacity Optimized Performance Optimized Hybrid Arrays Caching SW PCIe Flash Cards/SSD Enterprise Disk Arrays PCIe card deployment will require advanced caching in combination with some form of capacity optimized disk array in order to replicate benefits of shared storage. Most legacy storage vendors now support standard form factor SSDs within disk arrays as Tier-1 performance optimized capacity and could be considered “hybrid” arrays.

Scalability UCS Invicta Scaling System UCS Invicta Appliance Modularity Application Acceleration 250,000 IOPS* 1.2 GBps Bandwidth Up to 24 TB Raw Data Optimization Multiple Workloads Our portfolio consists primarily of two products. The appliance has very high performance, has very good bandwidth, and it has very good storage characteristics. That foundation appliance can be deployed as part of a UCS Invicta Scalable System, allowing the customer to scale on both performance and capacity axes. It's scalability, modularity, the ability to accelerate an application, the ability to optimize the data, also to handle multiple workloads at the same time, which can all be done without sacrificing performance.

39 Smart Call Home for UCS TAC Customer Internet Call Home
Interactive Technical Services Customer Notification Device and Message Reports Exceptions/Fault Analysis TAC Customer Internet 3 Service Request Tracking System Entitlement Check Automated Diagnosis Capability Smart Call Home represents a new value proposition for Cisco customers in having their devices connected to Cisco thereby opening the opportunity for interactive technical support. The interaction between Cisco and Customer is shown on this slide. Smart Call Home starts at the device with some features in the Catalyst 6500 due to be available in the 12.2(33)SXH release in mid CY07. These features are: Call Home GOLD Diagnostics Internal Note: The initial focus for support of Call Home and GOLD diagnostics are Cisco’s data center products. We are currently working on providing support for key products in this space including MDS9000. Other products will follow. Call home provides the capability for a customer to configure call home profiles that define: Destination Transport Events of interest For example, a customer might configure a profile to allow an individual to be paged at home via short text when a major diagnostic failure occurs. Or, all syslog events might be sent via HTTPS to a network management station. And, indeed, the case in which we are interested is certain events raising call home messages via HTTPS (or ) to Cisco TAC. This case is covered in the Call home feature by including a default call home profile for Cisco TAC. The events of interest are these. <Next build – includes box with messages received> Diagnostics. Environmental. High severity syslog. Inventory and configuration. Note: Any of these message types can be removed by customers. In addition, if customers choose to send configuration then we will remove sensitive details such as passwords. The Diagnostics in the Catalyst 6500, and now being built into a wide range of Cisco products, provide an online health test that essentially allows the device to ping its own components. On failure, a call home message will be sent. These diagnostics are referred to as Generic On-Line Diagnostics (GOLD). <Next build>. On receipt of a Call home message at Cisco the first step is entitlement processing. Customers need to have a standard Cisco SMARTnet support contract to be entitled to the Smart Call Home service. Next step is passing the message into the rules processor that will inspect the message and determine what next steps to take. <Next build>. If the situation is serious enough (module failure or fan failure for example) a service request will be raised direct with the Cisco TAC and routed to the correct team to handle the problem. Internal Note: We take special care not to raise service requests when they are not necessary. For example, GOLD diagnostics knows the difference between modules failing and being removed. <Next build>. If a service request is not raised then the message is stored along with the associated analysis of the problem for a customer or TAC engineer to use as part of their troubleshooting. <Next build>. Smart Call Home then has the option of proactively notifying the customer of problems which are likely to be emerging issues rather than issues the TAC can deal with (for example high temperature alarms independent of any fan failures or accumulating single bit memory errors). If Smart Call Home does not notify the customer then the customer or TAC engineer will be able to access all messages along with Cisco’s analysis of it on the Smart Call Home web application. Also available on the Smart Call Home web application are reports on the device hardware, software and configuration cross-referenced against any field notices, security alerts, end of life notifications of which we are aware specific to the hardware and software on the device. Internal note: These cross-references will be provided shortly after FCS. We are also working on the ability to provide proactive best practices based on the configuration of the device.
