VMworld 2013 opens on August 25th, 2013, at the MOs cone Convention Center in San Francisco, California. Cisco is a Global Diamond Sponsor, as we highlight our Cisco Unified Computing System (Cisco UCS), Solutions for virtualization and cloud.

 Cisco's unique, fabric-centric architecture-Cisco Unified Computing System (Cisco UCS), combines high performance compute, network and storage access bound together by an integrated control plane with embedded systems management. Cisco UCS serves as a common, centrally managed platform that simultaneously supports the unique requirements of the full spectrum of application workloads and a wide variety of operating models for bare metal, virtualized or cloud environments

The best way to quickly learn about latest Cisco UCS innovations and solutions for virtualization and cloud is by seeing them "LIVE IN ACTION". Come to the Cisco booth#1005 to leverage the Cisco UCS demos, theater sessions and related activities at VMworld San Francisco, 2013.
