These improvements provide savings in capital expenditures (CapEx) and operating expenses (OpEx), including reduced application licensing fees and savings related to space, cooling, and energy use. Dramatically reduced TCO: With significant performance improvements, Cisco ® customers can reduce the amount of physical infrastructure that they need to deploy, increase the number of virtual machines that they can place on a single physical server, and further improve overall system efficiency.This memory tier integrates transparently with Cisco UCS rack servers to immediately improve performance and relieve I/O bottlenecks. Significant improvements in application performance for Cisco UCS C-Series servers: Fusion ioMemory significantly reduces latency in enterprise applications with a persistent, high-performance, high-capacity memory tier.

The Cisco UCS Fusion ioDrive2 Adapter (Figure 1) offers the following main benefits:

Using ultra-low latency Fusion ioMemory technology, the Fusion ioDrive2 adapter built for Cisco UCS C-Series Rack Servers decouples storage performance from capacity through the integration of a powerful new memory tier uniquely designed to accelerate application delivery.

The Cisco Unified Computing System ™ (Cisco UCS ®) is a next-generation data center platform that unites computing, networking, storage access, and virtualization resources in a cohesive system designed to reduce total cost of ownership (TCO) and increase business agility.
