Unlocking Benefits for Customers with Cisco Intersight
Introduction to Intersight’s Impact on Data Centers
In this second installment of our blog series focused on the role of Cisco Intersight in data center operations, we dive deeper into the prime use cases driving its adoption among customers. Following our initial overview highlighting Intersight’s core functionalities, this article centers on server management and environmentally sustainable practices that organizations prioritize.
Navigating Modern Server Management Challenges
Operating as a server administrator today is immensely challenging. The task now encompasses the oversight of numerous servers spread across various locations—this transcends traditional data center management. The modern IT environment is characterized by its scalability and distribution, which introduces complexities such as managing hybrid cloud frameworks, supporting microservices workloads, and adapting to edge computing demands—all while contending with emerging cybersecurity threats. Additionally, there is heightened pressure on IT teams to optimize operational efficiency in energy consumption and reduce carbon emissions.
Real-World Applications: Insights from Customers
Many clients express these challenges clearly. For instance, a leading medical software provider plans to implement thousands of new Cisco UCS servers alongside their existing inventory of 8,000 systems. Their objective revolves around operational simplification while enhancing onboarding procedures. They aim for efficient system setup (day 0) to expedite deployment and seamless updates/patches (day 2).
Another key example involves a significant regional banking institution utilizing UCS servers across diverse settings—from centralized data centers to campus locations and over a thousand branches nationwide. This organization’s IT team seeks cohesive operational management across all environments so that staff can efficiently administer resources both centrally and remotely as needed.
Elevating Server Management Agility Through Cloud Solutions
The limitations inherent in traditional server management tools would render such companies incapable of maintaining pace due to resulting inefficiencies that squander time and resources. However, through the cloud-based capabilities offered by Cisco Intersight combined with AI technologies, organizations can achieve unprecedented agility in managing their infrastructure effectively.
Centralized Management Simplified
Intersight facilitates an integrated dashboard for comprehensive administration of UCS servers within an organization’s framework—significantly simplifying tasks while reducing dependency on specialized skill sets within the IT workforce. Building upon pioneering functionalities introduced by Cisco UCS Manager like policy-driven approaches—Intersight expands its utility across varied environments seamlessly managing heterogeneity from localized setups to remote edges.
One striking case involved Dakota State University adopting the UCS X-Series featuring 5th Gen Intel® Xeon® processors aimed at boosting virtual machines per unit by 40%. Relying on Intersight enabled them effectively manage increased workload density with ease; Shawn Jaacks, CIO states:
“Previously multiple team members managed physical installations manually; now we leverage those human resources towards more strategic projects thanks largely in part to Intersight’s unified interface streamlining everything from configurations up into firmware updates.”
Streamlined Automation Capabilities
With routine processes like firmware upgrades becoming automated via Intersight—as well as consistent provisioning based upon established policies—IT professionals gain back much-needed bandwidth amid complex workflows ensuring increased operating efficiency throughout each segment under administration.
For instance at Geographic Solutions—the rise was staggering—with computing performance jumping up by 30% alongside capacity growing nearly double (54%). This advancement stemmed completely thanks toward consolidation efforts enabling support for over 3 thousand virtual machines streamlined successfully down using only fifty-four physical units distributed among three different data center sites—all being overseen deftly through minimal staffing effort reflecting Lean operation principles illustrated below via Helvey Johnson’s comments:
“The transparency found within automation facilitated through Intersight proves invaluable! Firmware updates have shifted dramatically—from extensive multi-person efforts spanning several weeks down significantly compressed timelines requiring no more than just one individual spanning mere days instead.”
Driving Sustainable Practices Through Advanced Monitoring
Cisco’s platform also aids customers striving toward sustainable tech objectives—a growing expectation among enterprises demanding accountability regarding environmental stewardship statements tied directly back into factors concerning energy use optimization trending upward achieving results procured further evidenced below:
