Cisco Intersight is an IT operations platform designed to simplify infrastructure lifecycle management. It allows IT teams to see, control, and automate their Cisco UCS, converged, and hyperconverged infrastructure from a single interface. By consolidating operations into one solution, Intersight helps teams operate with agility, enabling them to focus on innovation and growth.
How does Intersight improve operational efficiency?
Cisco Intersight accelerates operations by enabling deployment, configuration, and maintenance of infrastructure in minutes, regardless of location. It ensures consistent adherence to policies through automation and templates, increases uptime by addressing potential issues proactively, and improves productivity by reducing time spent on support and maintenance tasks across multiple infrastructure domains.
What deployment options are available for Intersight?
Cisco Intersight can be deployed as a software-as-a-service (SaaS) or as a virtual appliance. The SaaS version offers automatic updates and minimal management requirements, while the virtual appliance provides complete control over data isolation. Intersight is available in two licensing tiers: Essentials, which covers infrastructure lifecycle management and proactive support, and Advantage, which includes automation and ecosystem integration.
