Servers

The UCS C240 M4 LFF server is the newest 2-socket, 2U rack server from Cisco, designed for both performance and expandability over a wide range of storage-intensive infrastructure workloads from big data to collaboration.

The enterprise-class UCS C240 M4 LFF server extends the capabilities of Cisco's Unified Computing System portfolio in a 2U form factor with the addition of the Intel® Xeon E5-2600 v3 and v4 series processor family that delivers the best combination of performance, flexibility and efficiency gains. In addition, the UCS C240 M4 LFF server provides 24 DIMM slots, up to 6 PCI Express (PCIe) 3.0 slots, up to 12 front-loading LFF drives plus two (optional) internal SFF SATA boot drives for a total of 14 internal drives.

The C240 M4 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) LOM ports. These features combine to provide outstanding levels of internal memory and storage expandability along with exceptional performance.

The Cisco UCS C240 M4 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.

Cisco UCS^® E-Series Servers bring data center-class blade servers to the branch office. These powerful, small-form-factor, x86 64-bit blade servers reside in Cisco^®branch-office routers: the Cisco 4000 Series Integrated Services Routers (ISRs) networking platforms. The blades are virtualization-ready and host essential infrastructure services and mission-critical business applications, all while you maintain a lean branch-office environment.

Cisco UCS E-Series Servers

The Cisco Unified Computing System^™ (Cisco UCS) E-series M3 Server is available in three flavors: a singlewide module and two doublewide modules. This 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 side-by-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 energy-efficient 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.

Cisco UCS E-Series Servers and Network Compute Engines

With powerful, data center-class servers that are virtualization-ready, you can host business applications and network services right in your branch-office router.

Cisco UCS E-Series Servers and Cisco UCS E-Series Network Compute Engines (NCEs) bring data center-class blade servers to the branch office. These powerful, small-form-factor, x86 64-bit blade servers reside in Cisco ® branch-office routers: the Cisco 4000 Series Integrated Services Routers and Cisco Integrated Services Routers Generation 2 (ISR G2) networking platforms. The blades are virtualization ready and host essential infrastructure services and mission-critical business applications - all while you maintain a lean branch-office environment.

Cisco UCS E-Series Servers

Cisco UCS E-Series Servers are available in two form factors: a single-wide module and a double-wide module. ® ® The single-wide version includes a four-core Intel Xeon processor E3-1105Cv2 and occupies a single service- module slot in the Cisco 4000 Series ISR and Cisco ISR G2 platforms. The double-wide module occupies two service-module slots side by side and includes a four-, six-, or eight-core Intel Xeon processor E5-2400v2 with more RAM and storage capacity than the single-wide module. The four- and six-core Cisco UCS E-Series M1 double-wide version also has a PCI Express (PCIe) card option for expanding external network and storage I/O.

All the servers are high-density, single-socket blade servers. They balance simplicity, performance, and application density while operating in an energy-efficient environment. The servers deliver next-generation Intel Xeon processor E5-2400 and E3-1100 product family technology in combination with integrated remote lights-out management. They support multiple cores and threads in a reduced-power envelope, providing improved performance and better energy efficiency than preceding models.

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 Intel Xeon processor E5-2400 and E3-1100 product families lower total cost of ownership (TCO), increase business agility, and enhance reliability when compared to standalone rack-mount and tower servers.
