Cisco Unified Computing Solution — New Generation Platform for Virtualized Data Centers

Nowadays, virtualization has become a key issue in almost all IT departments. Most enterprises have virtualized their testing and development environments, but only a few have reached business critical solutions. We’re certain that today the x86 platform is ready for the most demanding applications.

In this ByteLife morning workshop, we demonstrate the possibilities of Cisco UCS platform and discuss the opportunities of virtualizing business critical applications. We cover the following topics:

• What to consider when deploying business critical applications on x86 platform?
• Advantages and shortcomings of virtualization
• Reliability of applications
• Possibilities of “stateless” servers

The workshop focuses on the Service Profiles of the Cisco UCS server.
