Overall Satisfaction with Cisco UCS Series

We use Cisco UCS B Series as the primary computer platform for our organization. We are essentially 100% virtualized, and it complements our VMWare environment very well.
  • Reliable platform.
  • Efficient use of data center floor space due to the blade architecture.
  • Scalability.
  • Manageability.
  • Cost: can be expensive to implement.
  • Management interface/GUI still uses java.
  • KVM can be sluggish.
  • Positive: reduced TCO in relation to power consumption and cabling.
  • Positive: reduced headcount to manage the environment.
Due to our considerable compute needs, the Cisco UCS provides the performance and manageability we require.
Great for environments that have considerable compute needs and an efficient way to manage. Due to the costs to implement, it may not be optimal for small environments.
