ScienceLogic is now validated on the Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS), the industry’s first converged data center platform that delivers smart, programmable infrastructure to simplify and accelerate enterprise-class application and service deployment in bare-metal, virtualized, and cloud-computing environments.
The ScienceLogic management platform provides consolidated visibility and control for heterogeneous, multi-vendor systems located in data centers, private clouds, and public clouds.
The ScienceLogic platform has been a network management module in the Cisco Smart Business Architecture (SBA) since 2009. Cisco SBA provides reference architectures that simplify and speed deployment of Cisco solutions for midsize to enterprise networks.
Selected for its ease of use and speed of deployment, the ScienceLogic solution includes a set of management templates that begin to provide availability, performance, and configuration information immediately, covering the spectrum of Cisco devices and services, including:
- Borderless Networks – routing, switching, wireless, networking, security
- Collaboration – voice, video, telepresence
- Data Center and Virtualization – Cisco UCS, VCE Vblock, data center switches
Extensive Cisco SBA testing served as a basis for the validation of the ScienceLogic management platform for Cisco UCS management.
Beyond the breadth of coverage for Cisco solutions, the ScienceLogic platform was designed to manage dynamic, heterogeneous compute environments from the data center to the cloud, making it well-suited for Cisco UCS, which combines leading solutions, infrastructure, and tools from multiple vendors.
ScienceLogic provides both holistic and granular views for Cisco UCS – from overall availability and performance to real-time alerts and performance trending on Cisco networking components, blade servers, and physical and virtual machines. Starting with intelligent auto-discovery, ScienceLogic management for Cisco UCS provides a consolidated view of physical and virtual infrastructure components, tracking and updating the relationships between components as they change in dynamic, virtualized, and cloud-computing environments.
“ScienceLogic is committed to providing the most comprehensive, advanced, yet easy-to-use Cisco management solution on the market,” said Jeremy Sherwood, Product Manager for Cloud, Virtualization, and Storage Management at ScienceLogic. “For core Cisco networking gear and advanced technologies like Cisco UCS, Cisco TelePresence, and VCE Vblock, ScienceLogic provides a single platform for consistent monitoring and management of the Cisco solutions you have today and the ones you will deploy tomorrow.”

Like most digital transformation shifts, organizations often prioritize productivity and leave security and observability to keep pace. This usually translates to both the mass implementation of new technology and fragmented monitoring and observability (M&O) tooling. In the era of AI and varied cloud architecture, a disparate observability function can be dangerous. IT teams will lack a complete picture of their IT environment, making it harder to diagnose issues while slowing down mean time to resolve (MTTR). In fact, according to recent data from the SolarWinds State of Monitoring & Observability Report, 77% of IT personnel said the lack of visibility across their on-prem and cloud architecture was an issue ...
In MEAN TIME TO INSIGHT Episode 23, Shamus McGillicuddy, VP of Research, Network Infrastructure and Operations, at EMA discusses the NetOps labor shortage ...
Technology management is evolving, and in turn, so is the scope of FinOps. The FinOps Foundation recently updated their mission statement from "advancing the people who manage the value of cloud" to "advancing the people who manage the value of technology." This seemingly small change solidifies a larger evolution: FinOps practitioners have organically expanded to be focused on more than just cloud cost optimization. Today, FinOps teams are largely — and quickly — expanding their job descriptions, evolving into a critical function for managing the full value of technology ...
Enterprises are under pressure to scale AI quickly. Yet despite considerable investment, adoption continues to stall. One of the most overlooked reasons is vendor sprawl ... In reality, no organization deliberately sets out to create sprawling vendor ecosystems. More often, complexity accumulates over time through well-intentioned initiatives, such as enterprise-wide digital transformation efforts, point solutions, or decentralized sourcing strategies ...
Nearly every conversation about AI eventually circles back to compute. GPUs dominate the headlines while cloud platforms compete for workloads and model benchmarks drive investment decisions. But underneath that noise, a quieter infrastructure challenge is taking shape. The real bottleneck in enterprise AI is not processing power, it is the ability to store, manage and retrieve the relentless volumes of data that AI systems generate, consume and multiply ...
The 2026 Observability Survey from Grafana Labs paints a vivid picture of an industry maturing fast, where AI is welcomed with careful conditions, SaaS economics are reshaping spending decisions, complexity remains a defining challenge, and open standards continue to underpin it all ...
The observability industry has an evolving relationship with AI. We're not skeptics, but it's clear that trust in AI must be earned ... In Grafana Labs' annual Observability Survey, 92% said they see real value in AI surfacing anomalies before they cause downtime. Another 91% endorsed AI for forecasting and root cause analysis. So while the demand is there, customers need it to be trustworthy, as the survey also found that the practitioners most enthusiastic about AI are also the most insistent on explainability ...
In the modern enterprise, the conversation around AI has moved past skepticism toward a stage of active adoption. According to our 2026 State of IT Trends Report: The Human Side of Autonomous AI, nearly 90% of IT professionals view AI as a net positive, and this optimism is well-founded. We are seeing agentic AI move beyond simple automation to actively streamlining complex data insights and eliminating the manual toil that has long hindered innovation. However, as we integrate these autonomous agents into our ecosystems, the fundamental DNA of the IT role is evolving ...
AI workloads require an enormous amount of computing power ... What's also becoming abundantly clear is just how quickly AI's computing needs are leading to enterprise systems failure. According to Cockroach Labs' State of AI Infrastructure 2026 report, enterprise systems are much closer to failure than their organizations realize. The report ... suggests AI scale could cause widespread failures in as little as one year — making it a clear risk for business performance and reliability.
The quietest week your engineering team has ever had might also be its best. No alarms going off. No escalations. No frantic Teams or Slack threads at 2 a.m. Everything humming along exactly as it should. And somewhere in a leadership meeting, someone looks at the metrics dashboard, sees a flat line of incidents and says: "Seems like things are pretty calm over there. Do we really need all those people?" ... I've spent many years in engineering, and this pattern keeps repeating ...
