Cisco Intersight Infrastructure Services Connected Virtual Appliance - Advantage - subscription license - 1 license

Cisco Intersight Infrastructure Service is an infrastructure lifecycle management solution delivered as-a-service or as a connected or private virtual appliance. It helps IT operations teams see, control, and automate their compute, storage, and networking infrastructure - wherever it is - from one place. Intersight Infrastructure Service is a core module of the Cisco Intersight IT operations platform that provides a single dashboard for managing and automating your global infrastructure throughout its lifecycle. Intersight Infrastructure Service supports the Cisco Unified Computing System (Cisco UCS) and Cisco HyperFlex hyperconverged infrastructure, Cisco networking platforms, virtualization and container platforms, third-party servers and storage, and other integration endpoints. Because it is SaaS software, Intersight Infrastructure Service functionality increases and expands with weekly releases.

With Intersight Infrastructure Service, you get all of the benefits of SaaS delivery and full lifecycle management of distributed infrastructure and workloads across data centers, remote sites, branch offices, and edge environments. This empowers you to deploy, configure, secure, update, maintain, automate, and scale your environment through a cloud-operating model in ways that were not previously possible. As a result, your organization can operate with consistency and control, stay in compliance, and strengthen your security posture to deliver IT infrastructure, resources, and applications faster to support business growth.

For Cisco infrastructure, Intersight Infrastructure Service works in conjunction with Cisco UCS Manager, Cisco Integrated Management Controller (IMC), and Cisco HyperFlex Connect. In addition, Intersight Infrastructure Service integrates with third-party storage, servers, virtualization, and other SaaS services. You can simply associate a model-based configuration to provision servers and associated storage and fabric automatically, regardless of form factor. Using profiles, IT staff can consistently align policy, server personality, and workloads. These policies can be created once and used to simplify server deployments, resulting in improved productivity and compliance, and lower risk of failures due to inconsistent configuration. In addition, Cisco provides integrations to third-party operations tools, such as ServiceNow, to allow customers to use their existing solutions more efficiently.
