Overall Satisfaction with Cisco UCS Series

mainly use UCS for our vmware farm and a few c series for dedicated linux/windows boxes for critical applications
  • scale to accomodate workloads
  • patch firmware
  • integrate with technology
  • Management UI
  • a page for single pane of glass
  • fault detection on hardware components
  • TAC response can be very vague at times making me research it on my own and rolling the dice if it would wok
I used HP servers and the service profile model that UCS does is significantly better
Deployment of UCS servers save a lot of time thanks to Service profiles as we spend less time configuring hardware
we are satisfied as we have integrated UCS in our entire virtual infrastructiure
