Servers

The Cisco® UCS C220 M3 rack server is designed for performance and density over a wide range of business workloads from web serving to distributed database.

The Cisco Unified Computing System™ (Cisco UCS®) combines Cisco UCS B-Series Blade Servers and C-Series Rack Servers with networking and storage access into a single converged system that greatly simplifies server management and delivers greater cost efficiency and agility with increased visibility and control . Cisco UCS automates all aspects of server deployment and provisioning through model-based service profiles: software objects that contain all attributes necessary to provision servers.

The new Cisco UCS B260 M4 Blade Server is the new server building block in Cisco's innovative server and Cisco UCS solutions. The increased performance of this new blade server continues the evolution of Cisco's revolutionary Cisco UCS platform with its advances in fabric-centric computing, open APIs, application-centric management, and hardware infrastructure abstraction.

Increased Performance and Architectural Advantage

The Cisco UCS B260 M4 combines the power of two Intel® Xeon® processor E7 v3 product family and accelerates access to critical data. This blade server supports up to 36 processor cores, 3.0 TB of memory, 2.4 TB of internal storage, and 160 Gbps of overall Ethernet throughput. In addition, the Cisco UCS B260 M4 server's innovative modular design offers the capability to upgrade to a 4-socket Cisco UCS B460 M4 server in a cost-effective manner. Simply add another blade module, along with the Cisco UCS M4 Scalability Connector, to double the computing, memory, and I/O capabilities of the server.

These innovative capabilities enable the Cisco UCS B260 M4 Blade Server to deliver the performance and enterprise-critical stability for memory-intensive workloads, such as database, virtualization, and consolidation applications. These mission-critical business workloads then become a competitive advantage by enabling you to harness the value of your most important data assets.

The fabric-centric, architectural advantage of Cisco UCS also means that you do not need to purchase additional power, cooling, and warranties or maintain excess switches and interface cards in each Cisco UCS blade chassis. This feature gives you uncompromised expandability and versatility in your blade servers. As a result, the Cisco UCS B260 M4 server is another example of a Cisco UCS B-Series Blade Server product that delivers leading computing, memory, and I/O performance, resulting in exceptional performance levels and expandability options for applications.

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.

The Cisco UCS B200 M5 Blade Server delivers performance, flexibility, and optimization for deployments in data centers, in the cloud, and at remote sites. This enterprise-class server offers market-leading performance, versatility, and density without compromise for workloads, including Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI), web infrastructure, distributed databases, converged infrastructure, and enterprise applications such as Oracle and SAP HANA. The B200 M5 server can quickly deploy stateless physical and virtual workloads through programmable, easy-to-use Cisco UCS Manager and Cisco Intersight^™ and simplified server access through Cisco SingleConnect technology. It includes:

• 2^nd Gen Intel^® Xeon^® Scalable and Intel Xeon Scalable processors with up to 28 cores per socket
• Up to 24 DDR4 DIMMs for improved performance with up to 12 DIMM slots ready for Intel Optane^™ DC Persistent Memory
• Up to 2 GPUs
• Up to 2 Small Form-Factor (SFF) drives
• Up to 2 SD cards or M.2 SATA drives
• Up to 80 Gbps of I/O throughput

Delivering performance, versatility and density without compromise, the Cisco UCS B200 M5 Blade Server addresses the broadest set of workloads, from IT and web infrastructure through distributed database.

The enterprise-class Cisco UCS B200 M5 blade server extends the capabilities of Cisco's Unified Computing System portfolio in a half-width blade form factor. The Cisco UCS B200 M5 harnesses the power of the latest Intel® Xeon® processor scalable family CPUs with up to 3072 GB of RAM (using 128 GB DIMMs), two solid-state drives (SSDs) or hard disk drives (HDDs), and up to 80 Gbps throughput connectivity.
