Gartner about UCS
“Cisco helped all of us rethink the server architecture with UCS, and I
would have never thought that I’d say this 3 years ago when they came
out with it; the UCS architecture changed the industry by paving the way
to the logical disaggregation of the physical server through fabric
computing; they proved that you can buy white box components from any
vendor, even one that had never built servers before, and pay a premium
for them, as long as they’re assembled to achieve a true separation of
logical and physical design; Cisco did that with blades and is now doing
the same with rack-mount servers, and they’re selling a ton of them; the
interesting thing is that while everybody thought that true virtualization
would lead to a drop in the price point of servers, this innovation has had
the opposite effect, because customers are starting to realize that TCO is
way more important than the cost of servers; don’t tell vendors that I said
this when you negotiate with them, but a couple of percentage points in
price pale in comparison to the all the other costs; power and cooling
alone will cost you more than the initial purchase price over the lifetime of
a server”.
David Cappuccio
Managing V.P. and Chief of Research at Gartner.

Gartner Data Center Conference London Nov 2012

VM admin spends hours/days building THE
PERFECT Virtual Machine.
It is so good, 20 people want it
Build 20 new versions Clone it…
So why do we do that to hardware when we talk about a new host?
Network connectivity, BIOS, WWPN, MAC, Turn off USB, enable VT etc…
Uhm…..
UCS Service Profiles are like a hypervisor to hardware
Strip all state from the physical blades
