On June 6th, 2016 Cisco announced support for the Intel Xeon processor E7-8800 v4 family on the Cisco Unified Computing System (Cisco UCS). On the same day as the Intel announcement, Cisco captured six world records on industry benchmarks on Cisco UCS to highlight the way in which Cisco UCS can accelerate performance across the data center.
As we know, there is no better way to compare performance than by using industry-standard benchmarks, and with Six new world record benchmark performance results Cisco has demonstrated Cisco Unified Computing System'soutstanding performance and IT productivity across key data center workloads.Check out the Performance Brief for additional information on the nine new Cisco UCS world record benchmarks. The detailed benchmark disclosure reports are available here.
Cisco's results demonstrate the extent to which Cisco UCS servers with large memory configurations deliver the power of the new Intel Xeon processor E7 v4 family. Compared to Cisco's previous-generation servers powered by the Intel Xeon processor E7 v3 family, Cisco's new servers demonstrate dramaticimprovements in raw CPU power as well as in business and parallelized application performance.
With performanceimproved by up to 39 percentsince the last processor generation, theperformance leadership across a wide range of workloadsprovided by Cisco UCS is validated by the six world records announced today summarized below:
It is interesting to note that although all vendors have access to same Intel processors, Cisco UCS unleashes their potential to deliver high performance to applications through the power of unification and performance optimization. Cisco UCS integrates industry-standard x86-architecture blade and rack servers with networking and storage access into a unified system. Automated server and network configuration let you quickly and easily deploy new applications, repurpose existing servers, and scale applications with configurations that are compliant with your IT standards.
The architectural advantages of a single cohesive system optimized for virtualized environments coupled with the industry leading benchmark performance results makes the Cisco Unified Computing System an "infrastructure platform of choice" to provide industry-leading performance in your data center.
