“...Bringing up a new server hosting several virtual machines took only 4 hours rather than the 3 days we had experienced before. One thing that stood out is that a single person can accomplish the task of building a system rather than requiring three people to deal with the same need.”

“…Server deployment time has been reduced by between 80 and 90 percent, which means IT staff can focus more on mission critical or value added tasks.” Evangelisches Krankenhaus Königin Elisabeth Herzberge

“With Cisco UCS Manager, provisioning 64 Cisco UCS Blade Servers to develop a new customer solution takes about an hour,” Shah says. “Provisioning 64 of our other servers generally takes 8–16 hours of staff time."

Furthermore, with the UCS platform, AUS is seeing a two-fold improvement in performing routine administrative tasks. “For example, operations that once took a minute are now taking just under 30 seconds,” says Nujumi. “Multiply that by the thousands of such minor tasks we do, and it translates into the team spending much more time on service improvement and strategic issues.” Naji Nujumi, Systems Engineer, American University of Sharjah

“The Cisco environment is so easy to manage that we were able move more than 50% of the staff to other high-value roles,” says McIntosh. “Staff is now contributing to other vital areas of the business, such as disaster recovery planning and other activities.”

“In the past an IT manager could manage 15 systems. Now they can manage 50 systems.”

“The savings on cabling alone were around 90 percent. And this means not only one-off savings on investment costs, but also similarly reduced installation and maintenance expenses in Virtual Core customer projects.” KAMP Netzwerkdienste GmbH

“Cabling costs alone have dropped by about 70 percent in the new data center, a significant figure, because they used to represent up to 30 percent of each new deployment.” Almaviva Tele Sistemi Ferroviari

Management

Average 49% Reduction in Power and Cooling Costs BASED ON 69 CUSTOMER CASE STUDIES

“Efficient Cisco UCS servers have also significantly reduced power and cooling in the data center. Transitioning to Cisco UCS lowered the average temperature in the data center from 73 to 69 degrees Fahrenheit, decreasing the need for powerful cooling fans. Combined with the reduced power consumption associated with the Cisco UCS blade servers, OCS cut power consumption by two thirds in the data center for a significant cost savings.”

“Minnesota Wild reduced power by 63 percent and operated the data centers with 68 percent lower cooling costs.”

“We’ve seen a 90 percent reduction in energy use.”
