Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) Manager provides unified, embedded management of all components of the Cisco UCS and the ability to allocate resources through an XML API. Building on this API, Cisco collaborates with a broad set of higher-level systems management leaders to deliver optimized, tested integrations covering the entire operational lifecycle.

Save Time, Add Value

Cisco UCS Manager delivers granular system visibility and control to minimize time spent on manual operations and troubleshooting of third-party management solutions. In addition, it expedites data center consolidation and allows users to extract more value from Cisco UCS assets.

The Cisco UCS programmable infrastructure allows unified management and provisioning for data center automation.
