For our ESXi implementation. Virtual Servers for our hospital, research, education
  • central management
  • ease of deployment
  • consistency of configuration of multiple domains in multiple datacenters
  • performance monitoring is lacking
  • no export of configuration details to confirm settings
we have multiple UCS domains in 2 datacenters, and we are migrating to UCS x-series in intersight managed mode as we purchase new equipment, and as we retire old equipment. having a central point of management with Intersight helps us, as having multiple isolated UCS managed domains we not as easy to manage consistently.

Ease of use, rack density, and the ability to easily replace problem hardware.
  • Centralizes hardware management
  • Creates more hardware density in the datacenter
  • Allows for us to more easily create a private cloud.
  • Would be nice to see other types of PCIe offerings aside from GPUs.
Blade-based hardware is a game changer that allows for more density and agility.

Cisco UCS X-Series is a modular system that is designed to help organizations address the challenges of modern data center environments, which require greater flexibility, scalability, and agility. The product provides a unified platform for computing, networking, and storage that can be managed through a single interface, making it easier for IT teams to provision, deploy, and manage infrastructure resources.
  • Cisco Intersight Managed
  • Cisco 5108 Chasis
  • Cisco UCS m6 blade
  • Cost
  • Complexity
  • Integration with cloud services
Based on my exp during deployment, it is suited for hardware refresh of the m5 blades server and chassis 5108 v2 , the scenarios where less appropriate are the migration because too complicated if we migrate to lots of configurations that should be checked and also test we did migration but before we end so smooth and wrong it takes a lot of time for testing the service profile

I use Cisco UCS X-Series to host all of my VMs for my environment. The power to Rack Unit ratio is so great. It allows for me to pack a ton of compute into a small amount of space. It draws a lot of power, but it doesn't take up my entire Datacenter. Adding on Intersight for management across all of my Chassis is just icing on the cake.
  • Centralized Management
  • Automation
  • Scalability
  • Full featured Intersight
  • 1 slot, 4 socket blades.
  • OS deployment without a license
If you need a large quantity of compute and memory, as well as centralized management of all systems, Cisco UCS X-Series is definitely the way to go. If you have a smaller environment and don't need to rapidly scale, Cisco UCS X-Series is likely overkill for your application. The centralized management and automation is a killer feature, I just wish they didn't lock everything behind a paywall.

Cisco UCS X-Series we used in our project to manage the better network connectivity in our different site across the world. Cisco provide the better centralized management to manage all site connectivity.
  • Cisco Provide the Centralized management to collect all information.
  • Easy User Interface to use and execute the daily routine operation.
  • Performance and stability are much better.
  • We did not face any major concern and issue with Cisco devices in our project.
Cisco UCS X-Series is well suited to manage and provide a better network connection in different sites across the world. We can integrate N-number of devices via Virtual LAN. It easily manages the workload, reliable and fast failover. The firmware upgrade process is very easy.

Cisco UCS X-Series is the latest in the line of Cisco UCS Bladed Servers solutions and has been the perfect solution for solving computing requirements for customers I have supported, it is both cutting edge and efficient in its construction, offering the latest technologies for computing, storage and networking to form a complete solution to any requirement.
  • Consolidation of computing resources
  • Reduction in power consumption through consolidation
  • Full integration in the Cisco Internight solution
It is a very capable solution to consolidate legacy computing and storage solutions, it is also a solution for Hybrid cloud and container-based computing.

Easy network monitoring capability, effective source control functionalities which are easy to use and the debugging capability are the best. The Cisco tool helped us provide effective and quality data reports and very fast saving a lot of time and cost. The setting of the features initially is easy and the configuration tools are excellent.
  • Easy on source control.
  • Nice configuration management tool.
  • Threat protection through this software is good.
  • Protection for multiple and complex data.
  • Data source connections operations.
  • Reports preparation for complex data.
Access and traffic control solution, easy load balancing functionalities and the best software to manage multiple server performance and application performance monitoring features are very useful and easy to navigate on the system interface. Setting the security is effective and data security and policy management on this Cisco tool is amazing and its deployment is very easy.

The networing capability of this prosuct is great and has really developed our IT infrastructure. It is the central location for our servers providing data analysis centre. It has great speed that can implement any type of workload with the help of Cisco Intersight. It is easy to integrate with our applications and learn how it works. The cloud servers are customizable and can sustain multiple volumes of workloads under our command.
  • Availing cloud servers that are customizable.
  • Preparation of our business for any future occurrence.
  • I have not experienced any area that requires changes.
  • Tools functionality has been the best in my career experience.
I have experienced great services from this platform in both cloud and on-premise. It has streamlined technology in all our cloud servers providing operational centre for any kind of data. It has enhanced effective networking program that controls workflows in the entire organization. The modular system gives predictive insights that helps us to prepare for future and avoid any risks that can lead to drawback.
