Use Cisco Intersight to streamline, unify, and secure IT operations
across data centers, clouds, and the edge
The Cisco Intersight cloud operations platform delivers intelligent
visualization, optimization, and orchestration for applications and
infrastructure across any hybrid cloud environment. Using it, you can
operate and maintain traditional infrastructure with the agility of
cloud-native infrastructure, as you enhance stability and governance in
cloud-native environments.
This unique guide shows how to use Intersight to transform heterogeneous
IT environments and simplify operations throughout your organization. It
has been authored by Cisco insiders with 150+ years of combined
experience across every key role associated with enterprise datacenters
and cloud technology.
The authors cover all facets of Intersight architecture, planning, and
administration--from foundational concepts and security to operating
infrastructure, servers, networks, storage, virtualization, and
workloads--with chapters on Kubernetes, orchestration, programmability,
and Infrastructure as Code.
Cisco Intersight: A Handbook for Intelligent Cloud Operations is for
every IT operator, administrator, manager, and director responsible for
operations, programming/automation, information gathering, or
monitoring, as well as decision-makers evaluating Intersight or leading
implementation. Whatever your role in operating disparate data centers,
clouds, and edge environments, Intersight will radically simplify your
work--and this guide will help you maximize its value.
