Why legacy infrastructure management is not fit for modern demands

Scaling infrastructure fast is harder than ever

Long build times and manual processes slow deployment. Complex, repetitive configuration tasks prevent server administrators from scaling quickly to meet AI and edge computing demands.

Poor visibility is putting your infrastructure at risk

Multiple management interfaces create operational blind spots. Limited visibility leads to increased outage risks, security gaps, and slower mean time to recovery when problems occur.

IT resource inefficiency undermines business agility

Manual tasks and tool switching consume valuable time. Lack of automation forces IT teams to spend time on repetitive configuration work and upgrades instead of strategic initiatives, leading to employee frustration and stalled innovation.

Limited visibility and cumbersome processes amplify security threats

Complex infrastructure and new AI-powered threats compound risk. Manual discovery of security incidents and resolution increases risk and extends remediation time when incidents occur.

Cisco Intersight can deliver measurable business outcomes

$2.7M† benefit

Improved uptime and resilience

Cisco Intersight can reduce mean time to recovery (MTTR) by 50% through proactive fault detection, centralized visibility, and scalable automation. The result: faster recovery, improved uptime, and stronger infrastructure resilience for a potential financial impact of $2.7 million.
$1.7M† savings

Increased IT productivity

By reducing build and deployment times by 80%, Cisco Intersight streamlines monitoring and troubleshooting, enables automation and policy reuse, optimizes staffing, and simplifies compliance for possible savings of $1.7 million.
$289K† impact

Accelerated time to value

Deploy infrastructure three days faster with Cisco Intersight. Prestage entire data centers before hardware arrives, enabling rapid business expansion and earlier returns on infrastructure investments, driving nearly $300,000 in incremental profit.
$267K† benefit

Reduced security and compliance risk

With automated compliance and proactive threat detection, Cisco Intersight reduces security risks and accelerates remediation. Automatic policy updates reduce configuration inconsistencies and safeguard infrastructure, driving a financial benefit of as much as $267,000.

Real outcomes across industries

Financial services

One customer scaled revenue from $20 billion to $75 billion—without increasing IT headcount. Automated, repeatable deployments maintain compliance, while new domains go live in just 10 minutes, driving faster growth and greater efficiency.

Healthcare

A healthcare senior infrastructure domain architect reports managing 10,000+ servers with lean teams, thanks to centralized visibility in Intersight. Simplify oversight, reduce complexity, and keep critical systems running smoothly without adding IT headcount.

Cloud providers

One company confirmed the value of managing all UCS domains from a single interface. This simplification eliminated the need to juggle five to six systems. Streamline operations, reduce complexity, and free teams to deliver cloud services faster.

Travel and hospitality

Another company interviewed found that a team of just eight engineers can manage servers, virtualization, containers, and storage—thanks to Intersight automation. By simplifying operations and scaling effortlessly, the team can manage it all without adding headcount.

Strategic advantages that drive long-term value

Smarter hardware management

Optimize workloads, avoid overprovisioning, and make smarter capacity decisions.

Future-ready flexibility

AI at scale, simplified: prepare for GPU-based AI workloads with reusable templates and rapid scalability.

“Cisco has built a tool that’s easy to manage and gives us a 10,000-foot view of all our hardware.… It simplified everything.”
