Overall Satisfaction with Cisco UCS Series

We currently utilize the UCS platform for our virtual compute, physical compute, as well as SASE application with a physical presence. Having a proven leader in this sector allows us to bring stability in our environment. Standardizing in one platform allows upgrades to be easier to perform and maintenance negotiations much easier.
  • Total cost of ownership
  • Ability to scale
  • Single pane to manage infrastructure
  • Diverse in equipment adaption
  • More testing on firmware releases
  • Cost could be higher end
  • Length of time to ownership
  • Equipment quickly is depreciated
Cheaper cost but was very buggy.

Great suited in DC/farms where you want to standardize on platforms. Cisco UCS could become less of a player if they were more agile to agnostic vendors. Creating a proprietary bubble is a big deterrent.
