What:

IBM's VersaStack solution is an IBM/Cisco converged platform that incorporates compute (Cisco UCS), network, SAN and storage (IBM Storwize and/or V9000). The powerful features of the Cisco UCS Director can be used to have a single pane of glass management as well as a cloud deployment platform now and for the future. In this session we will show you what makes up a VersaStack as well as tour through the UCS Director management platform. We will also explain what makes a VersaStack unique as compared to a NetApp FlexPod or an EMC Vblock.
