Cisco UCS Blade Chassis and Fabric Interconnects (6120s)

Everywhere I have ever worked has been a Dell, Cisco and Microsoft shop. We have used Dell for our servers, Cisco for our networking equipment and Microsoft for our OS and a lot of our other software. This is a common model among a lot of Medium to Large businesses but I truly feel that Cisco is changing that model to a Cisco and Microsoft shop with their UCS blade chassis. I didn’t know a whole lot about the UCS blade chassis until I was able to actually work with one and see what it was capable of. In this article below I will go over what Cisco UCS is, the benefits, and some of the problems.

Microsoft Direct Access with UAG
Sunday, March 13th, 2011 | Author:

Microsoft Direct Access comes into play, this new software that only works with Windows 7 Enterprise or Ultimate will allow remote users to be connected without having to launch a VPN client. If they have internet access they can connect to the business network. Additionally you can even run health checks against remote users laptops to make sure that they meet business security specifications before they are allowed to connect.

So I just threw a lot of information out there and you are probably saying “What?” or “WOW how does this work?” or maybe even “Is this secure?” Well I plan on covering all of that here shortly.
