Cisco has unveiled a new management and automation platform for Cisco Unified Computing System (Cisco UCS) and Cisco HyperFlex Systems, Cisco Intersight. Intersight aims to simplify data center operations by delivering systems management as-a-service (MaaS), alleviating the need to maintain islands of on-premise management infrastructure. Intersight will being using machine learning, analytics, and automation to deliver its system lifecycle management.
Typically customer data is spread out in some combination of data center, private cloud, public cloud, or multiple clouds. This being the case, companies need a scalable and consistent management environment across their data centers, private clouds and public clouds deployments. Enter Cisco Intersight with not only the aforementioned capabilities but also the ability of consistent management and policy enforcement across bare metal server environments, converged infrastructure and hyperconverged infrastructure.
Having data distributed over multiple locations isn’t the only thing that has changed in recent years. Application architectures are also transforming with scale-out and multi-site deployment models, delivered by containers and micro-services. In addition, DevOps accelerates the rate of application development and continuous feature delivery. Intersight has been designed to address these issues as well.
Benefits and features include:
Cisco Intersight will be offered in two different editions:
Availability
Cisco Intersight is expected to be available in the fourth quarter of this year. It is integrated and designed to coexist with existing UCS and HyperFlex management tools, so customers can adopt Cisco Intersight as they desire without added complexity. Cisco Intersight will be available in an on-premise deployment model in the future.
