The total economic impact of Cisco Unified Computing System

Cost savings and business benefits

Published August 2015

To better understand the benefits, costs, and risks associated with a Cisco UCS with Intel® Xeon® processor implementation, Forrester interviewed several customers with multiple years of experience using Cisco UCS. Prior to Cisco UCS, customers were facing IT management and cost challenges in their legacy environments as a result of data and server growth. These customers looked to Cisco UCS to reduce their operational and capital costs as well as increase the scalability of their environment to meet their business objectives.

The purpose of this study is to provide readers with a framework to evaluate the potential financial impact of the Cisco UCS on their organisations.
