Cisco UCS supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet, enabling faster storage connection.
The integrated network in the SET data center comprises Cisco UCS B200 M3 Blade Servers installed in the Cisco UCS 5108 chassis and Cisco UCS 6248 UP fabric interconnects. Cisco fabric interconnects provide end-to-end connectivity and management for blade servers, improving the efficiency of LAN for blade servers, data storage and retrieval through Cisco Nexus® 5548 Switches.

ISV partner ecosystem
Independent software vendors are developing to the open Cisco UCS application programming interface (API), with more than 10,000 applications supported today. UCS is an ideal platform for agile, on-demand delivery of IT resources: The UCS API enables cloud management software to quickly reconfigure computation, network, and storage access functions as business needs change.
Cisco Unified Computing System supports green data centers and energy efficiency
IT managers can achieve more energy-efficient data centers with the Cisco Unified Computing System -- it uses one-half the components and requires less cabling and power/cooling than legacy servers. Over 30 billion kilowatt hours of energy per year could be saved by replacing aging traditional servers and support infrastructure through unified computing and virtualization in the data center. This equals the energy output of 15 U.S. coal-fired electric plants and 35 million tons of C02.
