It's all about analytics! 4th Generation of Cisco UCS Integrated Infrastructure for Big Data

May, 12, 2016 Hi-network.com

It's all about analytics! From data, to insight, and then action. Analytics, along with Internet of Things, represent the foundation of Digital Transformation that is changing businesses, industries, and lives globally.

Fundamental to this transformation is 'integrated', 'software defined' many things including compute, storage, network and management. Through innovations, Cisco's Unified Computing System (UCS) integrates these elements in to a cohesive programmable infrastructure that can scale as workloads demand. Cisco's UCS Integrated Infrastructure portfolio further optimizes the application architecture solutions based on your use cases, your applications, and technology needs.

Cisco UCS Integrated Infrastructure for Big Data introduced few years ago has become a popular choice in the enterprises across major industry segments including agriculture, education, entertainment, finance, healthcare, manufaturing, insurance, public sector, retail, and service provider environments.

These reference architectures are supported with leading software partners including Actan, Cloudera, DataStax, Elastic, Hortonworks, IBM (BigInsights), MapR, Oracle (No SQL Database), Pivotal (HD and GPDB), Platfora, SAS, SAP (HANA Vora), Splunk, and others.

Recently, the business value of our Cisco UCS Integrated Infrastructure for Big Data solutions were quantified by IDC through independent research, which showed the following benefits for an organization:


The new reference configurations and single SKU bundles are listed in Tables 1,2,3 and 4 below. These configurations can be deployed as-is, or referenced as templates for building custom configurations, and used to scale to thousands of servers on demand through the use of Cisco Nexus? 7000 and 9000 Series Switches.
