When Cisco Systems Inc. migrated their business environments to the Unified Computing System, they reduced costs by 60 percent. The migration was driven by the need to provide greater functionality with a lower budget, and to prepare for upcoming industry trends like cloud and Big Data.
Cisco employees Hari Shankar, Technical Staff, Global Infrastructure, and Ravi Ammamuthu, IT Manager, explained to theCUBE host John Furrier that Oracle Corp. was essential to the UCS migration, transferring data to servers without incident in about 24 hours. They shared that Cisco started with small environments, figured out best practices, and then moved on to their behemoth environments, one of which involved migrating 40 terabytes spread across three servers. Shankar called out two key learnings from the process: that it is essential to fully understand application profiles and run thorough patch analyses.
UCS, they stressed, helped them meet considerable scaling and performance challenges while lowering total cost of operation. See their entire interview above
