The Cisco® Connected Safety and Security Unified Computing System™ (Cisco UCS®) platform series offers you performance and density for deploying and managing Cisco Video Surveillance Manager. Cisco Connected Safety and Security UCS comprises a suite of two server models and a wide array of features in a single, easy-to-use, and easy-to-deploy configuration.

• The Cisco Connected Safety and Security UCS C220 model (CSS UCS C220 M4) is an enterprise-class server in a one-rack unit (1 RU) form factor with Intel® Xeon® E5-2600 series processor family CPUs that deliver significant performance and efficiency. In addition, it supports up to four 3.5-inch drives for added density in a compact 1 RU package.
• The Cisco Connected Safety and Security UCS C240 model (CSS UCS C240 M4) is an enterprise-class server in a 2RU form factor with dual Intel Xeon E5-2600 series processor family CPUs that deliver significant performance and efficiency. In addition, it supports up to twelve 3.5-inch drives for storage expandability and performance.

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® 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 UCS C220 M5 SFF server extends the capabilities of Cisco's Unified Computing System portfolio in a 1U form factor with the 2nd Generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors, DDR4-3200MHz memory, and the new 512GB Intel® Optane™ Persistent Memory Modules (PMem). With this combination of features, up to 9 TB of memory is possible (using 12 x 256 GB DDR4 DIMMs and 12 x 512 GB PMem), two 2 PCI Express (PCIe) 3.0 slots, and up to 10 SAS/SATA hard disk drives (HDDs) or solid state drives (SSDs). The C220 M5 SFF server also includes one dedicated internal slot for a 12G SAS storage controller card.

The C220 M5 server includes one dedicated internal modular LAN on motherboard (mLOM) connector 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 10Gbase-T Intel x550 embedded (on the motherboard) LOM ports.

The Cisco UCS C220 M5 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.
