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.
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.
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.
CISO at a tech services company with 11-50 employees4.5I use Cisco UCS B-Series for diverse database workloads and cloud systems. It's scalable, cost-effective, and integrates well with virtualization. While support is strong, it needs improvements for AI workloads. Overall, I rate it nine out of ten.
Cyber Security Analyst at Petrotrade5.0In our virtual environment at the company, we use Cisco UCS B-Series alongside VMware to host virtual servers and support call center collaboration. It's easy and reliable but expensive, lacking AI and integration features. Cisco products are integral to our network.
Head of IT Operations at NCC BANK LIMITED4.0Cisco UCS B-Series offers valuable management and monitoring tools, providing efficient insights. However, there's a noticeable delay in reporting and rebooting compared to competitors like Dell and HP. I've previously worked with HPE, Palo Alto, and Juniper solutions.
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.
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.
