We mainly use Cisco UCS Manager to integrate and manage our Cisco switches across the building. We also utilize it for network integration. It provides an integrated solution for our Cisco environment, streamlining our operations and managing multiple Cisco devices like switches and routers.
We use Cisco UCS Manager to manage the servers associated with it, monitor or manage firmware upgrades, and push policies. It's like the brain of the UCS system, in which users can log into Cisco UCS Manager and control all the infrastructure below it. All the configurations for servers and Fabric Interconnect can be done by the Cisco UCS Manager. Nowadays, users are opting for a cloud solution instead of using Cisco UCS Manager.
I use UCS Manager to create profiles associated with blades, like WLAN numbers and MAC addresses. I also create policies, such as scrubbing policies and maintenance policies for server removal and maintenance policies. It helps us manage everything.
We are managing servers and the UCS Mini Switch. The company installed a couple of servers and a Blade server for our production traffic. We have this higher production load and a backup solution on site for storing secure, critical data and applications. It's a redundancy solution for critical banking applications and anything else running on top of the server. You can run any kind of application through redundancy, so it'll be easier to manage on the UCS side. Five people on my team use UCS Manager, but people on other teams have a different UCS server. We don't use UCS Manager much. We still have a couple of Cisco servers, but we primarily rely on other vendors like Dell and HP.

I work for a service provider and we deploy this product for our customers. This is a tool to manage Cisco UCS devices: data servers, networking devices, or whatever Cisco produces under the UCS umbrella.

My company uses Cisco UCS Manager for managing Cisco UCS Blade and rack server, the physical server, for the virtual environment, Vmware. Suppose you have five hundred blades or more in the organization. It'll be complex to manage individual blades for maintenance purposes. This is where Cisco UCS Manager comes in, as it helps maintain all physical blades in a centralized manner.

Cisco UCS Manager helps us manage all the blades so we can apply quality to templates. Recently, we have installed VMware vCenter from where we manage it. Cisco UCS Manager gives us control of all the blades with a maximum of 160 blades in a single UCS Manager. From there we can manage all the hardware related issues, like upgrades.

Our use case, from our point of view, is that we installed this product in data centers for our customers. I work with six customers currently, and I have to set up the data centers for each of them. For one of them, we run the Cisco UCS Manager. So I have hands-on experience with the setup from end-to-end. Usually, we are called by clients specifically about product suggestions. I often personally recommend Cisco UCS because of the high availability. The setup time is quick compared to other products in this category. When we are contracted we have to set up the network, the storage, and other parts of the environment. That means a network and storage link for each and every chassis. But here, because of the configuration of Cisco UCS, we need just one link for all the chassis. This helps us make for quicker delivery time. We also monitor the systems, we install and keep spare blades for each and every chassis. Just one or two blades are sufficient for the entire environment. That way, we can easily manage system maintenance. Also, the failover and the profiling system is good with the Cisco product. You can just move the profile to the new blade so that it will start working with the new configuration. This makes it easy during maintenance.
Cisco UCS Manager helps significantly reduce management and administration expenses by automating routine tasks to increase operational agility. Customers can extend the benefits of Cisco UCS Manager globally across an enterprise to thousands of servers in multiple domains with Cisco UCS Central Software.
