Cisco UCS X-Series vs. Supermicro Ultra

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.

We have quite a bit of data that needs to be backed up - so we opted for a larger device than most small businesses/companies would likely ever need. That said, we are happy with our decision to do so. The interface within the IPMI device is easy to navigate through and get things setup. Hardware reliability is fantastic as well - as we have had no issues at all. I believe they have some smaller/lower-end devices for sale as well - but I'm not familiar with them. We're very happy with their product

Cisco UCS X is designed to have a simplified management especially using Cisco Intersight. Having a single pane of glass GUI platform to manage every servers on your chassis across multiple data center globally. The modularity allows users to easily incorporate future technologies (like new compute nodes or I/O modules) to adapt to changing workload needs, preserving the initial investment and reducing total cost of ownership. The system is highly flexible, supporting a wide range of workloads including traditional enterprise applications.

There are good use cases for both technologies, and each will have its place, UCS X-Series is good when looking at additional or external Storage solutions, and scalable computing performance in a compact form factor. Cisco HX is good for incorporating Compute and Storage in single ease of use form factor.

The SuperMicro Ultra product line was brought to my attention from a reseller. I had never heard of them prior to the introduction. The reassurance I was given before we moved forward with the purchase is what made me feel a bit more sound with our decision. Unboxing and putting together took all of 10 minutes - getting it racked and booted maybe another 15 minutes. The device was fully online and operational (to be used as a backup location) in about an hour in total. Very clean design - fans are fairly quiet as well. The reliability we've had for the past three years has been fantastic. We're glad we selected this device as our primary backup location for our district
