We use Cisco Intersight Infrastructure Service for our server infrastructure. It works very well to manage day-to-day operations. I think this is an improvement over the older UCS manager that we used to use. We've been very happy overall with it. We also enjoy that it can do predictive hardware failures and will open TAC cases automatically.

Cisco Intersight Infrastructure Service is a great tool for optimizing infrastructure and integrating it into one dashboard. Natural integration with Cisco data center products but also great if you have third-party vendors like storage - we use it with Hitachi Vantara, pure storage, and Netapp.

Cisco Intersight Infrastructure Service allowed us to save time with the proactive TAC cases for predictive hardware failures, and RMA as well as give insight into the EOL, EOS, and contract status of individual systems.

We use Cisco Intersight for visibility into our computing infrastructure. This has allowed us to save time with the proactive TAC cases for predictive hardware failures as well as give insight into the age, compatibility, and contract status of individual systems.

I manage all my infrastructure (Cisco UCS, Pure Storage, VMware) from Intersight. I make use of workflows to orchestrate all my infrastructure. It also simplifies the firmware upgrade of Cisco UCS. It also makes load balancing of resources simple and efficient with workload optimizer. It keeps expanding support for devices as well as vendors and even cloud environments.

Cisco Intersight helps us to easily configure and manage our three UCS-X systems that are housed in different locations. We are able to leverage Intersight to get better visibility not only into our compute platforms but allows us to see our storage and networking in a single platform.

My team uses Intersight to manage UCS hardware as well as monitor VMware infrastructure. We were looking for a single pane of glass that would aggregate multiple UCS domains into a single interface (similar to UCS Central). It substantially cut down the time engineers have to search for gear and figure out where it is located.

We use it as a tool to help customers with their management and operations of Cisco servers. With Cisco Intersight we don't need to have a VPN to the customer to be able to help with the management of operations of the servers. We also use it to deploy IKS (kubernetes) clusters at customers private cloud and in our lab

Cisco Intersight is currently being used by our organization for hardware monitoring and management. We currently monitor all of our physical servers using Cisco Intersight. We were using Cisco's IMC Supervisor solution and have migrated to Intersight. We also use Cisco Intersight to upgrade the firmware and software on our physical host. Cisco Intersight HCL allows us to easily confirm that our server hardware is running the correct version of firmware and drivers.

Intersight allows me to easily have a global view of all my Cisco ucs servers (serial numbers, support contracts, status, error details etc...), which are present on multiple datacenters. My use of the solution is fairly basic, but even then it's a huge help to manage my datacenters. Intersight allows me also to have cases opened at the moment of a hardware failure (which is a big win) <br>

It is nice to have 1 management console for multiple servers, server chassis, and devices. I feel the price is a little high and the different levels of licensing can be confusing. It is nice you can see vulnerabilities in firmware on certain license levels, advantage and up, I believe.

We use Intersight Connectivity for the Cisco ACI Fabric to automatically generate TechSupport files for the device Serial Number and link it to the Service Request that was opened for the device. Also, it is possible to generate and pre-upload TechSupports to Intersight using the TAC Assist feature. This simplifies the collection of information and greatly reduces the time that is needed for Cisco TechSupport to analyze the logs.

I used Cisco Intersight in my research environment to manage firmware and easily deploy code from the cloud. It's a great tool to manage many things in one package, and Stony Brook benefitted from it greatly. In the past, many up-to-date versions of firmware would sit on computers, and nobody would know where or who had it. It's also great to know that Ciscos SaaS products are always secure.

In our case Cisco Intersight was integrated with Cisco UCS manager solution, we can monitor and manage server remotely which is crucial for our operation. We have end customer services running on our organization and that critical data center operations need to be up the most time of the year. We get notifications of use for our servers, an advantage only possible through Cisco Intersight.

Cisco Intersight is used to provide visibility into our Cisco UCS footprint which spans across numerous data centers across the globe. Intersight allows us to have a single pane of glass to monitor our UCS environment and provide administrators with a global view of our environment. Intersight also allows for the automated opening of TAC cases to simplify support and parts replacement.

We use Cisco Intersight to help with our management and operations of Cisco devices. We don't need to have a separate VPN into our network to be able to manage the devices. Highly recommend the implementation of this solution.

Cisco Intersight is the first Web tool that I open in the morning. My team and I are using it to take a look at all of our Cisco HyperFlex Clusters and all of our Cisco UCS Standalone Servers to see if there is any new problem or any problem left that we can address today. We are the only department using it, cause we are the IT department.

Cisco Intersight enables web-based management of Cisco UCS & Hyperflex clusters regardless of physical location. It will also enable you to depoly upgrades and even complete configurations via this web interface, remote deployment could become plug and play. Another great feature is the checking against supported firmware and driver baselines and the growth forecasting available in the product.
