Mainly in my region and country, large data center customers are using Cisco UCS Director, not the SMB or mid-market customers.

Lead Software Engineer-Cloud Development at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees

In most of the projects I've worked on, the use cases are tied mostly to orchestrating the on-prem infrastructure, and specifically to achieving a self-service for infrastructure. For example, we have the Cisco infrastructure, which is UCS, which also has other integral components like the storage network. If you want to provision workloads on this infrastructure, we also want to take care of these third-party products such as NetApp and Cisco switches and routers. So we use the UCS Director to define a blueprint or a workflow, which we then use to orchestrate each and every step that is supposed to be part of this automation.

The primary use case of this solution is the interconnection between two applications. One that resides on the data center and the other that resides in the architecture. 

It's a scale-out architecture and a hybrid setup. In case there are any workloads, it works on either public or private cloud architecture.
