Welcome to the Cisco Community Ask Me Anything conversation. Are you already familiar with the new Cisco UCS solutions and the Cisco Intersight™ infrastructure management platform? The Cisco Intersight Infrastructure Service is an infrastructure lifecycle management solution delivered as a service or connected via a private virtual appliance. It helps IT operations teams gain visibility, control, and automation for their compute, storage, and network infrastructure, wherever it is, from one place. The Intersight Infrastructure Service is a core module of the Cisco Intersight IT Operations Platform that provides a single pane of glass for managing and automating your global infrastructure throughout its lifecycle. With Intersight Infrastructure Service, you get all the benefits of SaaS delivery and complete infrastructure lifecycle management, distributed workloads across data centers, remote sites, branch offices, and edge environments in one place.
In addition, the Cisco UCS X-Series Modular System (UCS X-Series) provides blade server capabilities, offering compute density, storage capacity, and expandability in a single system. This is a modular system managed from the cloud via Cisco Intersight. It has a future-proof and adaptable modular design that meets the needs of modern applications and improves operational efficiency, agility, and scale.
Discover the new Cisco UCS X-Series, which together with the Cisco Intersight management platform allows you to deploy, configure, update, automate, and scale your environment through a cloud operating model in ways that were not possible before, resulting in an infrastructure ready for today's and tomorrow's hybrid world challenges.
