Cisco UCS E-Series Servers

The Cisco Unified Computing System™ (Cisco UCS) E-series M3 Server is available in two flavors: as singlewide and as doublewide module. The singlewide version occupies a single service-module slot in the Cisco 4000 Series ISR as shown above. The doublewide module occupies two service-module slots sideby-side.

All Cisco UCS E-Series M3 Servers are high-density blade servers with single-socket Intel Xeon-D processors. They balance simplicity, performance, and application density while operating in an energyefficient environment providing better energy efficiency than preceding models. The servers also include integrated remote lights-out management.

They thus provide an excellent platform for introducing virtualization into the branch office and supporting mission-critical business applications. The innovative, zero-footprint form factor of the Cisco UCS E-Series Servers in conjunction with the lower total cost of ownership (TCO) of the Intel Xeon processor increases business agility and enhances reliability when compared to standalone rack-mount and tower servers.

The Cisco® UCS C220 M4 SFF rack server is the newest 2-socket, 1U rack server from Cisco, designed for both performance and expandability over a wide range of storage-intensive infrastructure workloads from web serving to distributed database.

The enterprise-class UCS C220 M4 small form factor (SFF) server extends the capabilities of Cisco's Unified Computing System portfolio in a 1U form factor with the addition of the Intel Xeon E5-2600 v3 and v4 series processor family that deliver significant performance and efficiency gains. In addition, the UCS C220 M4 SFF server provides 24 DIMM slots, up to 8 drives and 2 x 1 GbE LAN-on-motherboard (LOM) ports delivering outstanding levels of density and performance in a compact 1U package.

The C220 M4 SFF server includes a modular LAN on motherboard (mLOM) slot for installation of a Cisco Virtual Interface Card (VIC) or third-party network interface card (NIC) without consuming a PCI slot in addition to 2 x 1 GbE embedded (on the motherboard). These features combine to provide outstanding levels of internal memory and storage expandability along with exceptional performance.

The Cisco UCS C220 M4 SFF server can be used standalone, or as part of the Cisco Unified Computing System, which unifies computing, networking, management, virtualization, and storage access into a single integrated architecture enabling end-to-end server visibility, management, and control in both bare metal and virtualized environments.
