Cisco Intersight is an IT operations platform designed to simplify infrastructure management for Cisco UCS, converged, and hyperconverged systems. It allows IT teams to see, control, and automate their infrastructure from a single location. By leveraging Intersight, organizations can accelerate operations, ensure consistent policy adherence, increase uptime, and bolster security, all while improving productivity and compliance.

Intersight addresses several challenges faced by IT departments, including staffing shortages, increasing threats to digital infrastructure, and the need for efficiency. By providing a unified platform for managing infrastructure, Intersight helps eliminate silos, reduces manual tasks, and enhances visibility across the entire IT environment. This allows teams to focus on higher-value responsibilities and respond more effectively to security threats.

Cisco Intersight can be deployed as a software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution or as a virtual appliance. The SaaS version offers automatic updates and minimal management requirements, while the virtual appliance provides more control over data isolation and can operate in air-gapped environments. Both options aim to simplify infrastructure management while catering to different organizational needs.
