Cisco Unified Computing System:An Architectural Design for Virtualized WorkloadsJohn McAbelSenor Product Manager – Oracle Solutionsjmcabel@cisco.com 2010 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.Cisco Confidential1

When you think of virtualization How can I lower my total cost of ownership including management? How can I lower my Oracle Database licensing and support costs? Can I maintain performance when running on a hypervisor? Can I easily add system resources to a virtual machine? Do I choose Oracle VM or VMware? 2010 Cisco and/or its affiliates.

““CIO’s continue to tell us that UCS and Nexus are their primary strategy in the datacenter and they areincreasingly evolving Cisco from a communications partner to a strategic IT partner. From the onset, we took anarchitectural approach to this market and that has driven unique and differentiated value. I could not be morepleased with the continued innovation, execution momentum and value we are driving.”John ChambersFebruary 2013 2010 Cisco and/or its affiliates.
