4 Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) changing server paradigm In this session you will learn about the Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) introduced in 2009 by Cisco Systems and why more than 60,000 customers has adopted this solution. What are the main innovations, why it is still unique on server market, how simple it is to manage through Cisco cloud based Intersight software. Outscale one of our largest UCS customer in EMEAR will explain what they are doing and how UCS helps them to deliver their business.
