Awesome...learn something new every day. I presume one still needs to have UCS manager running within a B-series chassis in order to manage said C-series servers?<br><br clear="all">Matthew Saskin<br><a href="mailto:msaskin@gmail.com" target="_blank">msaskin@gmail.com</a><br>

</div><div class="h5"><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;">Ed - C series servers can only be managed separately, no UCS manager.<br><br>For what it's worth, I've got clients ranging from 2 x UCS C210's in a small environment (CUCM + UCXN) to ones with multiple B-series chassis running large CUCM + UCCE deployments. All are happy, and none have experienced any support issues. In fact, one has turned UCS into their de facto blade hardware, displacing HP. It's a stable platform, and for most new deployments, hard to cost justify still using MCS servers. As a point of reference (based on list price), a C210 is only a touch more expensive when you include VMware licensing than an MCS-7845, however you can run 2-4 apps instead of 1. If you look at the maintenance costs, UC Support/smartnet on a UCS C210 costs about 30-50% of what it costs on an MCS-7845, which is another compelling reason. Reduce server count by 50%+ and reduce ongoing maintenance by 50%+ per chassis = big-time savings.<br>
<br>To my understanding there is a single TAC support team, at least for RTP, that is responsible for most/all UC on UCS tickets, regardless of what component they are related to; UCS, Nexus, or UC Apps - this helps to keep the ball in one court if/when it comes down to support issues. As long as everything is deployed per the UC on UCS guidelines, all should be well.<br>
