How Do You Turn UCS into ROI?
Posted on August 4th, 2010 by admin |
A lot of letters are getting thrown about, as they always do in the IT business, but there are really only three that matter to you: ROI. Unless you can get a return on your IT investment, there isn’t much point to implementing a solution. Well, to get to ROI, a good place to start is with three other letters: UCS. The Cisco Unified Computing System streamlines your datacenter, making it easier for your organization to gain more value from existing staff and equipment.
Cisco UCS makes your infrastructure easier to manage and your team more efficient. Rather than pull together and integrate a variety of “best of breed” solutions – a process that entails a considerable amount of project and operational risk – UCS brings computing, networking, storage access and virtualization into a cohesive system. As a result, you can scale your infrastructure easily without having to add complexity at the same time.
In addition to being able to unite the various components of your datacenter, you’ll be able to consolidate infrastructure, using virtualization to make computing and storage resources portable across platforms. Consequently, you’ll be able to dynamically reallocate resources as necessary, rather than having to over-provision to mitigate the risk of an unexpected surge in demand.
It’s the combination of flexibility, agility and simplicity in your datacenter that turns Cisco UCS into an ROI driver. Through a streamlined IT operation, you can reduce the resources committed to “keeping the lights on” – which can consume up to 70 percent of your department – and redeploy them to high-impact projects that can transform your company and drive revenue, profits and market share capture.
Simplify your datacenter with UCS, and you simplify the path to outsized ROI.
