Features and Benefits
TheCisco UCS 5108 revolutionizes the use and deployment of blade-based systems. By incorporating unified
fabric,integrated, embedded management, and fabric extender technology, the Cisco Unified Computing
Systemenables the chassis to have fewer physical components, no independent management, and to be more
energyefficient than traditional blade server chassis.
Thissimplicity eliminates the needfor dedicatedchassis managementand blade switches,reduces cabling,
andenables the Cisco Unified Computing System to scale to 40 chassis without adding complexity. The Cisco
UCS5108 chassis is a critical component in deliveringthe Cisco Unified Computing System benefits of data
centersimplicity and ITresponsiveness.
