world. As a part of this service, Cisco will assist in issues involving third-party software that have 
been certified for use on the Cisco Unified Computing System
For Cisco UCS servers under Cisco Unified Computing System Manager (UCSM), you get Smart Call 
Home, which provides proactive, embedded diagnostics and real-time alerts. For systems that 
include Unified Computing System Manager, the support service includes downloads of UCSM 
upgrades. The Unified Computing Support Service includes flexible hardware replacement 
options, including replacement in as little as two hours. There is also access to Cisco's extensive 
online technical resources to help maintain optimal efficiency and uptime of the unified 
computing environment. You can choose a desired service listed in 
Table 19.
Unified Computing Drive Retention Service
With the Cisco Unified Computing Drive Retention (UCDR) Service, you can obtain a new disk 
drive in exchange for a faulty drive without returning the faulty drive. In exchange for a Cisco 
replacement drive, you provide a signed Certificate of Destruction (CoD) confirming that the 
drive has been removed from the system listed, is no longer in service, and has been destroyed.
Sophisticated data recovery techniques have made classified, proprietary, and confidential 
information vulnerable, even on malfunctioning disk drives. The UCDR service enables you to 
retain your drives and ensures that the sensitive data on those drives is not compromised, which 
reduces the risk of any potential liabilities. This service also enables you to comply with 
regulatory, local, and federal requirements. 
If your company has a need to control confidential, classified, sensitive, or proprietary data, you 
might want to consider one of the Drive Retention Services listed in 
Table 20.
