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.
