Overall Satisfaction with Cisco UCS Series

We are using Cisco UCS Series since 2010 till the first generation of them. We use them for our service platform for our CDN and as infrastructure for our private cloud. Actually we are rolling upgrade our area with new M7 servers and new FAB 6536.

Pros

  • Robustness
  • Performance
  • Simplicity

Cons

  • Alarming
  • No direct data plane between fabrics
  • New generation take longer Time to upgrade
  • Easy to deploy so direct on production
  • Network stack included on UCS domain
Nest performance for our CDN
Yes we are satisfied not only with UCS domaines but also with rack servers in standalone mode
