The scalability of Cisco UCS Manager is very good. We haven't needed to scale that at any stage. Fifty users are using Cisco UCS Manager in our company and it is not extensively used.

Scalability depends on the business needs. It is a scalable product. If I have a banking sector business, I look forward to getting this solution, which is integrated with storage. 

But, if I have a new business, which is in a web environment where we don't have much data, then it is much better because I would require computing power, and not much storage. To compute power, inside the blade, it is much more powerful than other hardware.

Now in business, the users are moving out of Cisco UCS. The upper version of Cisco HyperFlex is now absolute. If I am currently using Cisco UCS, my next target is to go to Cisco HyperFlex hyper-converged infrastructure. But Hyper-converged infrastructure is out of the market. It is the end of life. It is obsolete.

I rate Cisco UCS Manager seven out of 10 for scalability.

We mainly work with medium and enterprise customers for Cisco UCS Manager. Cisco UCS Manager is scalable enough.

You can scale Cisco UCS Manager, but there's a limitation because one Cisco UCS Manager can have twenty chassis, with twenty chassis having eight blades. Hence, there's a maximum of one hundred and sixty blades per chassis. If you want to go beyond that number, you have to get a new Cisco UCS Manager, which means purchasing another license.

This solution is very scalable. We manage two large Cisco UCS environments. There are many servers in it and we can grow and scale a lot if we want, it has a lot of room.

I think this product is very scalable. We have maybe 50 or 60 users right now working with SAP applications like S/4 HANA and it's working well for now. For now, we do not have immediate plans to scale usage as far as staff, but we are investing in new hardware. This will allow us to make any upgrades before we put the products into production. We can do the upgrade with no downtime no problems.

I would rate the scalability as an eight out of ten. It's quite scalable. The solution is mostly used by the server administrators and network administrators. 

The solution is highly scalable, mainly because of the templates that make it easy for you to actually edit on the system.

It is a scalable solution. We need some people for deployment, configuration, maintenance and support. They deal with the Cisco UCS Manager environment, so we don't get involved in VMware, visualization, or Hypervisor support. Specifically for hardware maintenance, we have at least ten technicians.

Cisco UCS is easy to scale.

Cisco UCS Manager is not a scalable solution because once you have 160 blades, it cannot be expanded more. It has a limit of a maximum of 20 chassis which can hold up to 160 blades. Then, if we need 161 blades, we have to install another Cisco UCS Manager to manage it. That is not expandable. If you have a large volume of blades to support, like 1000 blades, we'd have to divide 1000 by 160 and that will be the number of UCS Managers in our environment.

The scalability of the solution is okay. You do get some scalability, but it's not fully scalable per se.

Scalability wise it was very nice, it would be good if the maximum limitation of chassis for the FlexPod is changed from 32 to 64 – which allows more scalability for the business

We have about 20 users and I believe this program is scalable.

We don't have too much equipment, so we haven't tried to scale it too much ourselves. However, the solution is actually quite scalable if a company needs to.

We have about six people using the solution in our company.

I'm not a system administrator, so I don't know if we plan to increase the usage. I personally don't intend to.

We've had no issues with scalability.
