Technology Marketing Corporation (TMC) announced the winners of the 2014 infoTECH Spotlight Data Center Excellence Awards today. Cisco is honored that UCS Mini is one of the recipients! To quote from the TMC press release:

Cisco UCS Mini is an edge scale solution optimized for branch and remote offices, point-of-sale, and smaller IT environments. UCS Mini is for customers who need fewer servers but still want the robust management capabilities provided by UCS Manager. If you aren't familiar with UCS Mini, the Solution Overview details the components and how it works.

Want to turbocharge your UCS Mini deployment? Cisco has released two Validated Design Guides:

• Cisco UCS Mini Branch Office Solution for EMC VSPEX with VMware vSphere 5.5 for up 100 VMs
• Cisco UCS Mini Branch Office Solution for EMC VSPEX with Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V for up to 100 Virtual Machines
