Cisco UCS B-Series Reviews Summary
Author infoRatingReview Summary
Head of IT Operations at NCC BANK LIMITED5.0We use Cisco UCS B-Series for our core banking solution, hosting services for over three thousand internal users and five million customers. It offers seamless integration, efficient management, and cost savings, although firmware upgrade issues required support from Cisco TAC.
Group General Manager-ICT at SkyLink4.0I found value in Cisco UCS B-Series, realizing significant operational and maintenance savings, reducing costs by around 40%. However, a lower overall cost of ownership would enhance its appeal. I've also worked with other vendors like IBM alongside Cisco.
Data Center SME at Orange España4.0I use Cisco UCS B-Series for virtualization with VMware in a hybrid cloud setup. It excels with UCS Manager for easy hardware management, though it could be more user-friendly. We switched from HPE legacy systems for better integration and functionality.
CTO at Next Technologies Ltd4.5We deploy Cisco UCS B-Series due to customer preference, valuing its service profiles for easy maintenance. While FC functionality loss in Nexus switches requires additional storage connectivity solutions, our customers achieve good ROI over long-term usage without major issues.
Technical Solution Architect at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees4.0We support customers as a managed service provider using Cisco UCS B-Series, particularly the M5 to M2 series. Its valuable features include network interface efficiency and scalability, though initial setup and service profile deployment could be more user-friendly.
Senior Client Manager at GBM3.5I initially used Cisco UCS B-Series for collaboration with IP telephony, and later as standalone servers for heavy workloads. Its scalability and brand reliability are strengths, but configuration flexibility needs improvement to better meet diverse customer requirements.
Head of Sales at Omgea Exim Ltd4.0We have used Cisco UCS B-Series for data center operations since 2018, particularly appreciating its user-friendly dashboard. However, it lags in adapting to containerized applications and local parts replacement compared to HP, which we also use.
Chief Technology Officer at HOPI HOLDING a.s.5.0We use Cisco UCS B-Series for running applications in logistics, appreciating its stability and security. However, the pricing needs improvement to be more affordable. We haven't considered other solutions and have no specific deployment or cloud provider.
