Cisco UCS for Microsoft Azure HCI offers highly available and scalable software-defined hyperconverged and storage systems based on Microsoft Windows Server 2019 Storage Spaces Direct technology.
If you run your business on Microsoft software, you need a solution that uses hardware designed specifically for Microsoft Storages Spaces Direct. Look no further. Cisco and Microsoft have partnered to deliver a solution that accelerates access to data, provides comprehensive data management tools, and is powered by the latest 2nd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors to set a new standard of excellence.
-
Provides unified management
Cisco UCS Manager service profiles help ensure consistent server setup. They integrate with Microsoft System Center and PowerShell toolkit and, when combined with the Cisco Intersight solution, enable cloud management expansion to meet future requirements.
-
Delivers fault tolerance
Built-in resiliency handles storage, server, and switch failures with continuous availability. Larger deployments can also be configured for chassis and rack fault tolerance. When hardware fails, just swap it out; the software heals itself, with no complicated management steps.
-
Provides massive resilient storage
Help ensure the security of your critical data for applications, databases, and hybrid-cloud initiatives with Cisco UCS for Microsoft Azure HCI.
-
Reduces operating expenses (OpEx)
Integrated storage with enterprise-class performance, reliability, and capabilities allows one team to manage your entire Microsoft environment.
-
Provides enterprise-class performance
The Cisco UCS C240 M5L Rack Server uses the latest Intel Xeon Scalable processor technology. With a configuration of up to 3 TB per server and up to 16 servers, the system infrastructure can accommodate your enterprise-class workloads. The solution uses 40 Gigabit Ethernet end to end to help ensure enough bandwidth for large workloads. It uses RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) to enable Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) to help ensure that performance requirements are met.
-
Offers true scalability
Start with from 4 to 16 servers in increments of 1, configure 24 to 56 Intel processor cores per server, configure 384 GB to 3 TB of system memory per server, configure a 32- to 144-TB Hard-Disk Drive (HDD) per server, and configure Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) storage to help ensure enterprise-class performance. To scale out, simply add drives or servers; Storage Spaces Direct will automatically configure the new drives and begin using them. Storage efficiency and performance improve predictably at scale.
-
Get exceptional availability
Users of Azure Stack HCI will benefit because the system does not have a single point of failure. If a server fails, Cisco UCS Manager can assign the service profile for the workload to another server in the cluster that may be running a lower-priority workload. The profile is reassigned, and another server can replace the failed node, all without the user taking any action. Also, if a fabric interconnect fails, its partner fabric interconnect maintains a copy of its configuration. Therefore, a replacement fabric interconnect can be cabled in and the configuration restored from the partner fabric interconnect.
