Cisco UCS C210 in Greenplum MR Hadoop Reference Configuration Posted: 06 Jun 2013 04:39 PM PDT
--- I used to say UCS C Series are designed for "smaller deployment". However, recently I found an interesting application in DCUCD v5.0 training materials, which contradicts to what I said before. Greenplum MR Hadoop Reference Configuration is a quite-large deployment with UCS C Series only. I really should correct my saying from now on! This Reference Configuration starts from single rack: 18 sets of C210 servers. With multi-rack I believe it can be scaled up to 8 racks (144 sets of C210 servers). Why doesn't it make use of B Series? In this design it does not rely on any external storage. It only uses "locally attached storage". Maybe this is direct result of Hadoop's distributed computing architecture: failure of any node (C series server) will not fail the whole computing system. So there is no advantages even if we use more reliable, more expensive, and centrally managed storage systems. To attach a lot of local disks, C Series would be better fit!

New updates to be in Cisco ISE 1.2 Posted: 06 Jun 2013 08:58 PM PDT
I summarize the key points I learned from this Q&A on Cisco web site. [New Features]
Six MDM platforms are supported at the beginning: AirWatch, Good Technology, Fiberlink, MobileIron, SAP/Afaria, and Citrix/Zenprise. To update profiling patterns automatically in ISE version 1.2, we designate one ISE node with Internet connectivity to receive new Device Feed Service. This service will be available upon the release of ISE 1.2 Maximum concurrent users in 1.2 is 250,000 (before: 100,000). * Bad news: ISE version 1.2 is still not TACACS+ ready. We have to wait for a while so ISEs can replace ACSs. [New Hardwares] In version 1.2, Cisco ISE can be installed on new hardware servers: Cisco Secure Network Server 3415 and 3495. They are both based on Cisco UCS C220 box with different number of processors and memory sizes. Cisco Secure Network Server 3415 is designed for 5,000 endpoints of identity processing. Cisco Secure Network Server 3495 is designed for 20,000 endpoints of identity processing. [Reference] Cisco Identity Services Engine Q&A |
