Anyone deployed Cisco UCS yet with vSphere. It is an interesteding offering which appears to take blades to a whole new level. Some of the interesting aspects include:
Hardware Virtualization
Memory - can use 192 or 384GB of memory per blade depending on model
Cabling - uses about half of normal cabling
CPU - CPU density is far greater than current blades.
Integration with other Cisco equipment. Call Manager and Integrity are now options for virtualization.
Management from a single pane of glass. This can be managed from Virtual Center.
I/O. With Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) and CNA's significant improvement in I/O.
I am looking to see what kind of gotcha's people have encountered other than cost. Have SAN upgrades been required or any other
hidden costs or requirements?
