Data Center SME at Orange España
We use them for a virtualization environment with VMware ESXi version 7.0, update 3. We have B200 M4 blades in a Cisco chassis connected to Fabric Interconnect switches 6632 with Tracy number 5108.
The Fabric Interconnects are integrated with IBM V7000 storage through a Fabric Extender to connect to the IBM SAN storage, V7000.
We deploy VMs for the banking sector, such as credit union companies. Sometimes, the VMs hosting all the on-premises systems for disaster recovery (DR) purposes are shifted to the Azure cloud. This is a hybrid cloud environment.
View full review »We use it for our digital adjustment. It's a technology that allows you to unify all the major components you need. You have the networking component, and your servers are connected too. We have an established enterprise system for data, and we do not use the historical component of the use case. We only use the networking and the server component. It is a very robust and reliable solution.
We use it primarily for computing purposes.

Initially, Cisco UCS B-Series was part of Cisco's collaboration suite. As part of Cisco's collaboration suite, users used to run Cisco IP telephony solutions on Cisco UCS B-Series. Later, Cisco UCS B-Series came into the market as normal servers to meet the requirements of its users. Cisco UCS B-Series specifically does a good job for certain large or heavy workloads. For vertical scalability, Cisco UCS B-Series is ideally used in the banking and manufacturing sectors in some cases.
We are running many applications for a logistics provider. We do the storing of goods for our partners and transport and so on.
View full review »We use it as a stand-alone for computing only in HyperFlex. Using multiple projects and VDI projects, you can utilize distribution and access codes to find the storage that works for various solutions and scenarios.
We've used blades and hyperflex. It's for data center refreshes and greenfield solutions. We've done a lot of HCI Solutions.
We're basically taking old three-tier storage, no compute, networking solutions and then pulled into an ACI solution hyperflex or blades. I've worked on both the UCSX series and also the B series. M6, M7, and M5, and with a lot of fabric interconnects - just pretty much anything and everything for UCF.

Cisco UCS B-Series are the Blade servers where we have installed VMware.
View full review »We do not use the Cisco UCS B-Series in our company. Rather, we support it for one of our customers.
Using this product allows for the virtualization of all things, including MAC addresses and the profile. If we have an issue in a physical server then we just have to remove it, put another one in its place, and reapply the profile.
I'm not an expert in using the UCS Blade but I work on it enough to speak a little bit about it. My primary job is support, although I perform some actions.
