Cisco UCS C-Series Rack Servers Reviews

Cisco UCS C-Series Rack Servers have plenty of features and computing and memory power.

The hard drive of Cisco UCS C-Series Rack Servers is not very good. I have already replaced three of them.

I have been using Cisco UCS C-Series Rack Servers for approximately four years.

While using the Cisco UCS C-Series Rack Servers for a couple of months, one of my hard drive disks was failing and VM had issues. There was no reason for it to fail, the hard drive was full and I had to replace it. All the data on it can not be restored. They should make some improvements to their hard drives.

The solution could have better reliability and redundancy.

We have many people in my organization using Cisco UCS C-Series Rack Servers in the administration.

If we want to scale the solution we can add new nodes. It is scalable.

We have approximately 200 users using this solution in my organization.

I have used the support from our partner and we have had a good experience. They did not take very long to support me in my needs.

I would rate the support from the partner a four out of five.

We have a partner that does the maintenance and support of the solution.

The price of the solution could be better when compared to other solutions. However, when we purchased the solution we received Cisco UCS C-Series Rack Servers in a bundle with other hardware, such as IP phones and networking switches.

I would rate the price of Cisco UCS C-Series Rack Servers to be a two out of five.

I have had the opportunity to evaluate Lenovo and VxRail.

 The solution has a very high-level computer and can be a benefit. I had some issues with hard drive failures but I believe the newer version is better.

I rate Cisco UCS C-Series Rack Servers a six out of ten.

We use Cisco UCS C-Series Rack Servers for general-purpose VMware. It's just tier-one applications. VMware ESXi, databases SQL, Oracle, and SAP, are the main use cases.

The performance has been good, but the biggest benefit has been the time saved. With Intersight management, I believe we can save half a headcount while still managing and configuring the servers.

In most cases, computes compute, and there isn't much differentiation, but one point of differentiation is Intersight cloud management.

Performance is good, as well as manageability.

The interface is good.

The only thing I would change is to provide more proactive support. I would like to try to shift away from reactive support and toward a more proactive support model. The alerting and the system beginning to alert us when it is outside of normal parameters is adequate, but I believe it can do more in terms of support.

I'm not sure if they do this at the moment, but I would like to see support for NVMe over Fabrics. NVMe over Fabric is used so that the entire solution can communicate NVMe over Fabric between the servers and the storage. It's doing exactly what we need right now, and the performance is excellent. But in two years, we'll be looking for the next thing.

I have been using Cisco UCS C-Series Rack Servers for two years.

Cisco UCS C-Series Rack Servers is a very stable platform.

It is scalable, but only by adding more servers. We knew that when we bought it and when we sold it to the customer.

It can service approximately 500 users.

It is being used by a real estate agency, one of the largest in New Zealand. It is used throughout the business, by salespeople, which is where their primary real estate listings are placed. Everyone uses the system, from senior management to sales to HR. This is how they get their applications.

I'm currently using FlashStack. Flex fathers Cisco and NetApp, and FlashStack is Pure Storage and Cisco. Cisco is the vendor, and the server infrastructure is UCS Servers.

We have our engineers that install it.

We pre-stage some of the equipment before sending it to the site. it can take a day to install four or five servers. It's quite quick.

The infrastructure team consists of two people. It only took one person to deploy.

We sold the solution, and the customer was very pleased with it. We performed a total cost of ownership analysis, and the results were mixed, but it meets their return on investment.

Only Intersight licensing is required.

Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis, which is only $2,000 or $3,000. It's not too expensive. The Intersight licensing adds value, which the customer takes advantage of.

I would rate Cisco UCS C-Series Rack Servers a nine out of ten. It did what it said it would do. It was simple to install and has given us no problems.

I do not yet use the latest update, instead using the full solution which the client has. I use all versions of the solution. 

We make IT use of the solution, employing several types of servers, for management, virtualization or whatever may be the needs of the client. The solution comprises a server. I use a standalone server.

There is no one feature that I have found to be most useful. I utilize all the features of the solution which I require. 

The price of the solution is problematic, not the solution itself. It could be less expensive. 

I have been using Cisco UCS C-Series Rack Servers for around ten years. 

The solution is stable. 

The solution is easily scalable. 

I feel the technical support to be fine. I cannot think of anything needing improvement in this regard. I rate the support as an eight out of ten. 

The solution is easy to set up.

The solution could be more cost-effective. 

We had plans to use VMware and then Cisco Prime. 

I still use the solution, installing it and providing support for clients. 

The solution is not deployed in my organization, but in those of my clients. 

I can't think of any features which need to be added to the solution. All of them are good. 

I rate Cisco UCS C-Series Rack Servers as a nine out of ten. 

Virtual machines

The hardware customization capabilities are great. 

I would like to see a little more integration with VMware. They used to have a plugin, but it was recently removed.  

I have been using this solution for three years. 

This solution is both very stable and scalable. 

Their technical support is quite good. 

The initial setup was straightforward. It was very simple. 

Yes, we have seen a return on investment with this solution.

This solution is a little expensive. 

I would recommend this solution to others because it saves a lot of space and it's very scalable.

Overall, on a scale from one to ten, I would give this solution a rating of nine. 

We are a solution provider and this is one of the products that we provide to our clients.

What I really like about the Cisco USC Server is its service profile. They're using software abstraction, which means that the hardware is abstracted as a layer of software and managed by the UCS manager.

We have been selling Cisco UCS C-Series Rack Servers for approximately two years.

The product is quite stable.

The USC C-Series is a scalable solution.

I find the initial setup straightforward and easy. I don't know if I'm biased because I am quite familiar with Cisco products. It takes between two and three hours to deploy.

Two people are enough for deployment and maintenance.

This product is quite expensive and it would be better if it were cheaper.

This is a good product and I recommend it.

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.
