Cisco UCS Implementation Services
The initial installation of a Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) environment requires forethought and planning. When done correctly, subsequent hardware expansion and technology refresh projects are streamlined without service downtime. Sirius’ UCS engineers have a well defined process for pre-installation planning, physical rack/stack and cabling, setup of service profiles, resource pools, UCS Manager, as-built documentation, and skills transfer.
Our base installation service covers a defined number of chassis, blades, fabric interconnects, fabric extenders, uplinks to LAN and SAN, vNIC, vHBA, service profiles, firmware updates, backups, user accounts, and phone home capabilities.
