Track 3 - next generation computing
Download as PPTX, PDF0 likes356 views
Next Generation Computing for the Virtualized World discusses how computing infrastructure is becoming increasingly virtualized. This is driving new architectural patterns around scalability, availability, performance, efficiency, mobility, and automation. The document outlines how Cisco's Unified Computing System (UCS) addresses these new patterns through its unified fabric, extended memory technology, virtual interface cards, and dynamic provisioning capabilities. It provides examples of how UCS simplifies infrastructure management and improves application performance.
