System Overview

The Cisco Unified Computing System™ (Cisco UCS™) is a next-generation data center platform that unites
compute, network, storage access, and virtualization resources into a cohesive system designed to reduce
total cost of ownership (TCO) and increase business agility. The system integrates a low-latency, lossless 10
Gigabit Ethernet unified network fabric with enterprise-class, x86-architecture servers. The system is an
integrated, scalable, multichassis platform in which all resources participate in a unified management
domain (see Figure 7).
