Computing Solutions
Optimize your Compute platforms for modern workloads to scale your data center for the future.
Does your compute platform support hybrid workloads?
In the data center, compute refers to the processing power and memory required to run applications on a server. It is one of the three major components of data center along with storage and networking. A good compute platform should scale easily and provide flexible connections for Any-Prem workloads: on-premises, hybrid, or cloud.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need Blades Servers and Chassis?
Blade servers and chassis are a great option to reduce your data center footprint, optimize its physical space, and accommodate more software defined applications. Instead of supporting one application per standard server, the blades and chassis allow you to support multiple applications. If your company sees exponential application growth and adoption, this might be a good forward-thinking approach for you to take. This option is also more cost-effective if you plan to fill up your rack with blades and chassis. It is cheaper up front for the hardware of a standard rack server, however. If you do not plan to extend much farther into applications, a rack server would be the more cost-effective option.
How do I simplify my policy deployment?
Automation is key. We work with Cisco UCS to automate policy deployment. You configure your policy configuration and then deploy it to your network components all at once. This also helps create consistency while reducing risk as it deploys the same configuration variation to the devices you select.
