connectivity
WAN Optimization
The ROBO deployment scenario of UCS-mini, uses WAN connectivity for
remote locations. The connections can be flaky in this case. Hence the following
optimizations were done:
Download of only the necessary images will be done to UCSM/UCS-mini. The
entire bundle will not be copied.
Restart ability is supported i.e. If network is disconnected in the middle of a
download and it comes back again previously downloaded blocks are not copied
again. This optimizes and conserves the network usage.

Industrial
Scenario: Customer needs to have local compute at each site to manage ever-increasing streams of data from
sensors connected to the field equipment. The company also needs to provide VDI terminals for the for the field
workers.

Challenge: Solution: UCS Mini with local storage

Need to centralize all the data in a single
location at the oilfield
Need to ingest large data quantities very
rapidly
Need high performance blades to process
data
Require large storage capacity for
historical data
Require full featured blades to run VDI for
oil field workers
Reduce downtime due to remote system
issues
Application servers and storage servers consolidated
into a single rack, reducing floor space
Easy compute and storage scalability: hot-plug in new
blades and drives
Invicta flash-based solution for high-speed data intake
Large data storage capacity with C240 server
B200 M3 or M4 blades provide the compute horsepower
for all applications
UCS Central allows central IT to monitor and manage
the UCS Mini and rack servers

Remote Office/Branch Office
Scenario: Customer would like to standardize on a common compute platform for their Data Center and remote
office to reduce the qualification and cost.

Solution: UCS Mini with local storage

Challenge: Servers consolidated into a single chassis, reducing floor space

Want a service provider to remotely

47
Private Cloud
Scenario: A large Data Center Service Provider needed a cost effective solution to provide physically isolated
private cloud environments and DR as a Service solution. Even though the partner has a Cisco Powered
environment with a large UCS deployment, traditional UCS systems are too large and expensive to meet the needs
of the smaller cloud deployments.

Solution: UCS Mini with Storage on C240 M4 for SDN and FC

Challenge: storage as an option to existing FC SAN. C3160 an option.
UCS Mini allows IaaS and DRaaS at a lower competitive price point.
Need to be cost competitive
Easy compute and storage scalability: hot-plug in new blades and drives
Need an IT platform that will expand with Large, shared storage capacity and exceptional performance improve
client service, without the cost and complexity of a storage area network
no wasted ports (SAN)

Must have future roadmap support for
higher expandability.

Integration of UCS Director and self provisioning portal will allow lower
operational costs and improve customer experience.
