Cisco UCS C-Series Rack Servers Pricing
The server itself isn't costly at all, but the CPU and the RAM can be pretty expensive. You can buy a UCS for $2,000, but the RAM and CPU can cost up to $80,000. The most expensive asset is the intel processor, but it depends on how many cores you want and the technology you want to use on your CPU, like Hyper-V, etc.

The pricing in Yemen should be lower. It's high for the region.
For Yemen, generally, some manufacturers can't apply the same discounts they give to other countries due to the war and the economic situation. Yet we need more discounts.

Our customers don't pay for licenses. As a service provider, we cover the costs. They only pay for the services they use.
The subscription fee is on an annual basis. We always use annual. There are no extra costs in addition to the standard licensing fees.
View full review »The pricing is fair. It is an enterprise solution, however. The price might be a bit less if the organization is a bit smaller.

The price of the Cisco UCS C-Series Rack could improve. It's a little more expensive in comparison with Dell or HPE solutions.

I think the pricing is high. Cisco has to look for bundling this solutions with other applications. They could sell basic options of the UC server along with other Cisco products and software. That would work. But as a standalone product, the customer looks at the price and it means they may not buy it when they see other products with the same construction at a lower price.

The price of the solution could be better when compared to other solutions. However, when we purchased the solution we received Cisco UCS C-Series Rack Servers in a bundle with other hardware, such as IP phones and networking switches.
I would rate the price of Cisco UCS C-Series Rack Servers to be a two out of five.

Only Intersight licensing is required.
Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis, which is only $2,000 or $3,000. It's not too expensive. The Intersight licensing adds value, which the customer takes advantage of.

View full review »I would advise to be very careful regarding the pricing especially if they don't buy complete or all included bundles. If they plan to expand their infrastructure in periods, then simply Cisco is not a good choice.
