Overall Satisfaction with Cisco UCS X-Series
Nice options for chassis. However, we have several quality issues with brand new M-7 blades that have many part failures or even DOA after only a few days of use or less. But with the ones that are working, they do seem to work pretty well. The management of the chassis is much better than the M5 series.
Pros
- Options
- Management
Cons
- Quality control
- Positive - can do more with less blades
- Cisco 5000 Series Network Convergence System (NCS 5000)
Being able to reduce overall footprint since we can do more with an M7 vs M5 blade. Chassis are able to be managed better. Overall capacity is much greater then M5 series chassis and blades. I can't think of much else to say to fill up at least 50 words.
IMM and Intersight are easier to manage our environment. It does take some learning curve from going from UCS Manager or UCS Central managed environments. Our overall foot print is reduced by the larger capacity of the M7 verses the M5 platforms. I can't think of anything else to say at this time.
We can reduce our foot print in our Data centers given the larger capacity of the M7 verses the M5 platforms. The managment of M7s is much better than the M5 platforms.
