商品描述

The definitive guide to UCS and the Cisco® Data Center Server: planning, architecture, components, deployment, and benefits

With its new Unified Computing System (UCS) family of products, Cisco has introduced a fundamentally new vision for data center computing: one that reduces ownership cost, improves agility, and radically simplifies management. In this book, three Cisco insiders thoroughly explain UCS, and offer practical insights for IT professionals and decision-makers who are evaluating or implementing it.

 

The authors establish the context for UCS by discussing the implications of virtualization, unified I/O, large memories and other key technologies, and showing how trends like cloud computing and green IT will drive the next-generation data center. Next, they take a closer look at the evolution of server CPU, memory, and I/O subsystems, covering advances such as the Intel® XEON® 5500, 5600, 7500, DDR3 memory, and unified I/O over 10 Gbps Ethernet.

 

Building on these fundamentals, the authors then discuss UCS in detail, showing how it systematically overcomes key limitations of current data center environments. They review UCS features, components, and architecture, and demonstrate how it can improve data center performance, reliability, simplicity, flexibility, and energy efficiency. Along the way, they offer realistic planning, installation, and migration guidance: everything decision-makers and technical implementers need to gain maximum value from UCS–now, and for years to come.

 

Silvano Gai has spent 11 years as Cisco Fellow, architecting Catalyst®, MDS, and Nexus switches. He has written several books on networking, written multiple Internet Drafts and RFCs, and is responsible for 80 patents and applications. He teaches a course on this book’s topics at Stanford University.

 

Tommi Salli, Cisco Technical Marketing Engineer, has nearly 20 years of experience with servers and applications at Cisco, Sun, VERITAS, and Nuova Systems.

 

Roger Andersson, Cisco Manager, Technical Marketing, spent more than 12 years in the CLARiiON® Engineering Division at EMC, and 5 years as Technical Product Manager at VERITAS/Symantec. He is now focused on Cisco UCS system management.

 

  • Streamline data centers with UCS to systematically reduce cost of ownership
  • Eliminate unnecessary server components–and their setup, management, power, cooling, and cabling
  • Use UCS to scale service delivery, simplify service movement, and improve agility
  • Review the latest advances in processor, memory, I/O, and virtualization architectures for data center servers
  • Understand the specific technical advantages of UCS
  • Integrate UCS 6100 Fabric Interconnect, Cisco UCS 2100 Series Fabric Extenders, UCS 5100 Series Blade Server Enclosures, UCS B-Series Blade Servers, UCS C-Series Rack Servers, and UCS Adapters
  • Use Cisco UCS Manager to manage all Cisco UCS components as a single, seamless entity
  • Integrate third-party management tools from companies like BMC®, CA®, EMC®, IBM®, Microsoft®, and VMware®
  • Practice all this with a copy of Cisco Unified Computing System™ Platform Emulator Lite (UCSPE Lite) on the DVD in the back of the book

 

This book is part of the Networking Technology Series from Cisco Press®, which offers networking professionals valuable information for constructing efficient networks, understanding new technologies, and building successful careers.

 

 

商品描述(中文翻譯)

《UCS和Cisco®數據中心伺服器的權威指南:規劃、架構、組件、部署和好處》是一本全面介紹Cisco新的統一計算系統(UCS)產品系列的書籍。Cisco通過UCS引入了一個根本性的新視野,以降低擁有成本,提高靈活性,並極大地簡化管理。本書由三位Cisco內部人員詳細解釋了UCS,並為正在評估或實施UCS的IT專業人士和決策者提供實用的見解。

作者們通過討論虛擬化、統一I/O、大容量記憶體和其他關鍵技術的影響,以及雲計算和綠色IT等趨勢如何推動下一代數據中心的發展,為UCS建立了背景。接下來,他們更詳細地探討了伺服器CPU、記憶體和I/O子系統的演進,包括Intel® XEON® 5500、5600、7500、DDR3記憶體和10 Gbps以太網統一I/O等先進技術。

在這些基礎上,作者們詳細討論了UCS,展示了它如何系統性地克服當前數據中心環境的關鍵限制。他們回顧了UCS的功能、組件和架構,並展示了它如何提高數據中心的性能、可靠性、簡單性、靈活性和能源效率。在此過程中,他們提供了實際的規劃、安裝和遷移指南,讓決策者和技術實施者能夠從UCS中獲得最大價值-現在和未來的幾年內。

Silvano Gai是Cisco Fellow,負責設計Catalyst®、MDS和Nexus交換機,已經在Cisco工作了11年。他撰寫了幾本關於網絡的書籍,撰寫了多個互聯網草案和RFC,並擁有80個專利和申請。他在斯坦福大學教授了一門與本書相關的課程。

Tommi Salli是Cisco技術營銷工程師,擁有近20年在Cisco、Sun、VERITAS和Nuova Systems等公司的伺服器和應用程序方面的經驗。

Roger Andersson是Cisco技術營銷經理,曾在EMC的CLARiiON®工程部門工作了12年,並在VERITAS/Symantec擔任技術產品經理5年。他現在專注於Cisco UCS系統管理。

本書還介紹了使用UCS來系統性地降低擁有成本、消除不必要的伺服器組件及其設置、管理、電源、冷卻和佈線、擴展服務交付、簡化服務移動和提高靈活性的方法。同時,還介紹了最新的處理器、記憶體、I/O和虛擬化架構在數據中心伺服器中的技術優勢。此外,還介紹了如何集成UCS 6100 Fabric Interconnect、Cisco UCS 2100系列Fabric Extenders、UCS 5100系列刀片伺服器機箱、UCS B系列刀片伺服器、UCS C系列機架伺服器和UCS適配器。最後,還介紹了如何使用Cisco UCS Manager將所有Cisco UCS組件作為一個單一的無縫實體進行管理,以及如何集成來自BMC®、CA®、EMC®、IBM®、Microsoft®和VMware®等公司的第三方管理工具。

本書提供了Cisco統一計算系統™平台仿真器的副本,讓讀者可以實踐所學的知識。
