Best of VMworld 2009 Gold Award Goes to CiscoSearchServerVirtualization.com received more than 175 nominees for the eight categories, and the new Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) won in the Hardware for Virtualization category with its combination of server, network, and virtualization resources in a single integrated platform. Judges from TechTarget's SearchServerVirtualization.com said that Cisco UCS "provides a unified platform for hardware and networking that radically reduces the number of devices requiring setup, management, power and cooling, and cabling....This offering will be hugely impactful in the marketplace." Cisco Sponsors VMworld Data Center for Instructor-Led LabsVMware worked with primary partners, including Cisco, to design and deploy a centralized data center architecture to support its instructor-led labs at the conference. These labs are an important part of the VMworld experience because some of the most technically astute virtualization customers have the opportunity to experience the latest innovations firsthand. The VMworld data center was used to run 12 instructor-led labs on the Cisco UCS. There was a separate infrastructure for the self-paced labs.

VMworld Announcement: Cisco Highlights the First UCSLearn how “less really is more” when it comes to optimizing performance and reducing costs in the data center in this interactive panel discussion with representatives from Cisco, Presidio Networked Solutions, and Tutor Perini Corporation. In addition to discussing the first deployments of the Cisco UCS. panelists outline the traction they are seeing for unified computing in the marketplace. Tutor Perini Changes Data Center Economics with Unified ComputingLearn how this innovative construction company reduced its hardware footprint by 60 percent and power consumption by 38 percent using the Cisco UCS. Utilizing the integrated design of the Cisco UCS, Tutor Perini is able to deploy four times as many virtual machines per VMware ESX host as it did previously and to achieve 90 percent CPU utilization.
