Cisco UCS E-Series Servers Valuable Features

In terms of the features that I have found most valuable, I would say the hardware recondition in this chassis is pretty good, and that is not found with other vendors like HP or Dell servers. I like the hardware recondition of this chassis because you have just a single cable for the server cords and then you can easily use virtual HPS and the perfect server providing for this Blade chassis. I like the hardware of this setting.

The product's most valuable features are stability, speed, and scalability. We rarely encounter downtime issues, and it has an expandable memory storage. Additionally, it blends well with Cisco's security tools.

The solution's most valuable feature stems from the fact that you can upgrade and do all the network provisioning from Cisco UCS Fabric Interconnects, so you just go to one single pane of glass, allowing you to manage the complete solution that comes to the networking, especially Cisco UCS B-Series.

The most valuable features are that they are efficient and easy to setup.

When comparing to other solutions the performance is good and in terms of stability, there is no comparison.

Cisco has better visibility and manageability for disaster recovery. It is the best thing about it. It is compatible and has a low form factor. It is good for minimum-requirement deployments and processes that are not highly intensive.

Cisco UCS E-Series Servers have been reliable. I think that's one of the big things. Their hardware has been pretty, pretty reliable. I have noticed some issues with their controllers failing due to the thermal paste drying up and the heat sinks falling off causes them to fail. But that was something we experienced last year. It took almost five years for any hardware failure. And even that was like a $100 repair. So nothing too major. 

Additionally, the UCS GUI is pretty straightforward. The server itself is a lot easier to maintain than some of the other Cisco equipment, like the routers and switches.

They are really easy to maintain. I've added RAM to them. I've done a lot of other things with the virtualization.
