graph compares the 3-year TCO for 96 HP ProLiant DL380 G9 Servers with the 3-year TCO for 96 Cisco UCS C240 M4 Rack Servers. Each server has two Intel® Xeon® processor E5-2640v3 CPUs, 64 GB of mory. HP networking includes six 1 Gigabit Ethernet and two 16-Gbps Fibre Channel connections for the HP rack servers. This is compared with the Cisco VIC 1227 mLOM dual-port 10-Gbps Unified Fabric adapCisco rack servers and corresponding switches. Pricing is as of May 21, 2015.

“With our previous virtualization platform, every new server we added required ten 1-Gigabit Ethernet cables and five Fibre Channel cables, which increased costs and complicated troubleshooting.”

"We need 50 percent fewer adapters for the SAN connection to the servers. Savings from the cable front are considerably higher still. In addition to a reduced need for investment, having fewer adapters and cables facilitates scalability and drastically reduces installation and maintenance work."

With Cisco UCS, it has been possible to reduce physical cables to around a third of their former quantity. ITOCHU Techno-Solutions Corporation

“Our staff can now provision a test environment in minutes, not months, so we can test new ideas very rapidly. It’s given us a competitive edge.”

“UCS service profiles have made server deployment easier and about three times faster.”

The improvements in provisioning and implementation have dramatically reduced the load on Allianz’s IT professionals, freeing them to focus on more strategically important projects.

Thanks to the Cisco UCS Manager, the same staff of seven engineers who previously managed 90 servers now manages 150 Cisco servers.

“We estimate a productivity improvement of 30 percent for the IT team as a whole, with our people now able to focus on more strategic matters and new areas like energy efficiency.”

"Staff morale is soaring as technical teams are freed from break-fix issues and manual processes required to keep dozens of different systems running."
