Abstract:

The Cisco UCS (Unified Computing System) brings a new approach to the provisioning, maintenance, and operation of a blade server system. We will discuss how the UCS's single-point-of-management and service-profiles ease the burden of provisioning and maintaining for the server administrator. The session will include a demonstration of the UCS management system.
