Stock Exchange of Thailand Improves Business Operations and Consolidates IT Infrastructure With Cisco Data Center Architecture
BANGKOK, Thailand July 17, 2013 The Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) has implemented Ciscos Data Center architecture to increase operational flexibility, improve its business operations and streamline its online trading platform.
With the intense competition in capital markets, SET has used innovative and proven technology from Cisco to develop new models of trading, improve management, support service expansion and facilitate new offerings to meet rapid changes in investors demands.
SET decided to upgrade and strengthen its IT infrastructure with networking, data center and security solutions to boost the global competitiveness of Thailands capital market.
Utilizing Cisco Unified Fabric technology to virtualize server interfaces and consolidate server traffic management, SET has significantly improved system performance and consolidated distributed data centers effectively. The Cisco Unified Computing System (Cisco UCS ) helps SET improve its productivity, increase flexibility and quickly respond to the rapid changes of their business environment. Cisco UCS is designed to help reduce investment costs of connectivity technology that links servers with networking and storage resources by helping to reduce requirements for adapter cards, cables and switch ports. Cisco UCS supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet, enabling faster storage connection.
The integrated network in the SET data center comprises Cisco UCS B200 M3 Blade Servers installed in the Cisco UCS 5108 chassis and Cisco UCS 6248 UP fabric interconnects. Cisco fabric interconnects provide end-to-end connectivity and management for blade servers, improving the efficiency of LAN for blade servers, data storage and retrieval through Cisco Nexus 5548 Switches.
SET virtualization will be centrally managed from a single console with Cisco UCS Manager, allowing IT staff to easily deploy, monitor and manage hardware, software and other components of virtualized systems. Cisco UCS provides an end-to-end platform for managing networking; computing and virtualized resources in data center, making mission-critical applications become more secure and responsive.
UCS achievements since 2009
Since it was first introduced four years ago, UCS has become highly successful with companies because it delivers superior customers benefits.
23, 000 UCS customers worldwide
No. 2 world market share in x86 blade servers
More than 3,400 UCS channel partners
Ten of thousands of supported applications
73 world-record performance benchmarks to date
44 independent software vendors (ISVs) writing applications that take advantage of the UCS application programming Interface (API)
ISV partner ecosystem
Independent software vendors are developing to the open Cisco UCS application programming interface (API), with more than 10,000 applications supported today. UCS is an ideal platform for agile, on-demand delivery of IT resources: The UCS API enables cloud management software to quickly reconfigure computation, network, and storage access functions as business needs change.
Cisco Unified Computing System supports green data centers and energy efficiency
IT managers can achieve more energy-efficient data centers with the Cisco Unified Computing System it uses one-half the components and requires less cabling and power/cooling than legacy servers. Over 30 billion kilowatt hours of energy per year could be saved by replacing aging traditional servers and support infrastructure through unified computing and virtualization in the data center. This equals the energy output of 15 U.S. coal-fired electric plants and 35 million tons of C02.
