An ecosystem of industry-leading companies with expertise and experience to help customers architect next-generation data centers, Cisco Unified Data Center simplifies provisioning and management of shared physical and virtual resources, within and across data centers, to accelerate business agility, financial efficiency and IT simplicity. This unified approach with programmable infrastructure helps to reduce ongoing maintenance costs and free up IT resources to support strategic business initiatives, such as cloud computing, consolidation and virtualization, and new applications. The new FlashPack bundle enables customers to deploy a solution today that overcomes challenges within real-life data center environments while serving as an investment for tomorrow.
FlashPack is a server/network/storage package that dramatically lowers capacity and CPU utilization requirements in VDI environments, freeing up more resources to accelerate I/O performance. The combination of Cisco Unified Computing System B200 M3 servers, Cisco Nexus Switching 5000 series platform and VMware View 5.1 featuring VMware vSphere 5 with the Tegile Zebi HA2100 hybrid storage array utilizing in-line deduplication and compression significantly reduces the amount of storage required to host virtual desktops – an 83 percent capacity savings versus other vendors' compression-only solutions.
"After successfully testing our reference architecture to prove its capacity, performance and cost benefits in VDI environments, we are excited to premiere the solution as part of the Unified Data Center at this year's Cisco Live event," said Rob Commins, vice president of marketing, Tegile Systems. "The performance and economic advantages that customers can realize by implementing a VDI solution like FlashPack that incorporates both in-line deduplication and compression as part of its storage component are quite frankly staggering. This is a solution that dovetails nicely with Cisco's concept of the Unified Data Center."
In addition to showcasing FlashPack, Tegile will also be featuring its line of Zebi hybrid storage arrays in Booth #1603 at the event.
Tegile Zebi arrays leverage the performance of SSD and low cost per TB of high capacity disk drives to deliver up to seven times the performance and up to 75 percent less capacity required than legacy arrays. Zebi hybrid arrays combine Tegile's patented MASS technology with high performance DRAM, solid state flash, Intel Xeon processors and high speed Ethernet or Fibre Channel, resulting in higher capacity and significantly higher performance. Maximizing capacity, on-the-fly de-duplication and data compression enable more hosted virtual desktops for a lower investment in storage and network infrastructure.
Cisco Live is the year's premier educational and training event, attracting more than 17,000 IT, networking and communications professionals. The show features a range of content to help attendees gain the knowledge, skills and expertise on the technologies that drive the ongoing convergence of people, processes, data and things to enrich businesses and lives through greater potential and increased opportunity.
