System Overview
The Cisco Unified Computing System™ (Cisco UCS™) is a next-generation data center platform that unites 
compute, network, storage access, and virtualization resources into a cohesive system designed to reduce 
total cost of ownership (TCO) and increase business agility. The system integrates a low-latency, lossless 10 
Gigabit Ethernet unified network fabric with enterprise-class, x86-architecture servers. The system is an 
integrated, scalable, multichassis platform in which all resources participate in a unified management 
domain (see 
Figure 7).
