		<description><![CDATA[One of my most popular posts ever is perhaps Cisco UCS Networking Best Practices (in HD) posted last June (2010).  So what do you do with a good thing?  You figure out how to make it even better, right? Of course! On that note I am thrilled to present a new and improved 12 part [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Fabric Failover is a unique capability found only in Cisco UCS that allows a server adapter to have a highly available connection to two redundant network switches without any NIC teaming drivers or any NIC failover configuration required in the OS, hypervisor, or virtual machine.  In this article we will take a brief look at [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last month I wrote a brief article discussing the intelligent QoS capabilities of Cisco UCS in a VMware 10GE scenario, accompanied by some flash animations for visual learners like me.  In that article I (intentionally) didn&#8217;t get too specific with design details or technical nuance.  Rather, I wanted to set the stage first with a [...]]]></description>

Normally I don&#8217;t write blogs on such short topics but this one has a little story behind it. This week I am [...]]]></description>
