Cisco UCS benchmarking success in the Big Data space continues. We invest and lead in Big Data workload benchmark tests as these workloads are commonly found in UCS-oriented Data Centers around the world.
The guiding principles our Cisco UCS teams follow for benchmarking in the Big Data arena are:
- A Commitment to Industry Standards
Cisco continues to demonstrate its commitment to industry-standard benchmarks by being the first vendor to publish TPC Express Benchmark-HS (TPCx-HS) results using the new Intel® Xeon® processor E5-2600 v4 family
- Drive Accelerated Big Data Benchmark Results
Cisco was the first vendor ever to publish TPCx-HS results. These new results establish Cisco as the industry performance leader at scale factors of 1 and 10 terabytes (TB).
- Deliver A Fair Comparison Standard
Test against the TPCx-HS benchmark as it is designed to provide a fair standard of comparison for big data hardware and software configurations.
- Showcase Performance and Scalability
The benchmark results reported highlight the performance and scalability of Cisco UCS® Integrated Infrastructure for Big Data.

From our March 2016 Cisco UCS Performance Brief, Table 1 above lists our most recent results based on our fourth-generation Cisco UCS Integrated Infrastructure for Big Data architecture. As you can see Cisco provides a proven variety of UCS configurations that deliver industry-leading performance. For Big Data, speed is paramount and Cisco UCS delivers the speed you you need.
