The management capabilities of Cisco UCS Manager work with Microsoft modules to
improve scalability and reduce provisioning time in the data center environment. When
one workload experienced sudden, unexpected growth, nGenx IT shifted blades from
the development environment to the production environment to boost capacity. By using
predefined profiles for the production environment in Cisco UCS Manager, they found
that repurposing the blades was a painless process, transitioning smoothly to the new
workloads with consistent configurations.

that repurposing the blades was a painless process, transitioning smoothly to the new

“With traditional infrastructure, it could take days just to decommission a server and close
to three weeks to have it in production with a different workload,” says Dehlinger. “With the
assistance of Cisco UCS Manager, we had the blades in production back within a week—
including extensive stability testing. The outcome was far better than we had expected,
enabling us to over-deliver on an ambitious promise.”

Management automation and a streamlined data center environment have reduced the
amount of time that nGenx spends managing the data center. Standardizing on Cisco
solutions reduces touch points in the environment and eliminates time previously spent
training on new equipment, reconfiguring equipment, and testing configurations. Automation
and repeatable processes add efficiencies to the workflow and improve staff productivity.
“We’ve been able to refocus staff on new features and value-added services instead of
maintenance of standalone servers, and we have been able to reduce our operational costs
through efficiency and increased densities on the UCS platform” says Gibson.
