The Cisco® UCS B260 M4 High-Performance Blade Server is a two-socket, full-width blade server supporting the Intel® Xeon® E7-8800 v2, E7-4800 v2, and E7-2800 v2 series processor family CPUs, with up to 3 terabytes (TB) of double-data-rate 3 (DDR3) memory in 48 slots, up to two small form factor (SFF), hot-swappable drive bays for hard disk drives (HDDs) or solid state drives (SSDs), two dual-port and one quad-port mezzanine slots. These slots leverage the UCS virtual interface card (VIC) technology for up to 160 Gbps aggregate I/O bandwidth. The Cisco UCS B260 M4 server is designed to power the most demanding enterprise applications.

The Cisco® UCS B230 M2 Blade Server is one of the industry's highest-density two-socket blade server platforms. It is a critical new building block in the Cisco Unified Computing System™ portfolio, offering compact performance for enterprise-critical applications within the Cisco Unified Computing System architecture. It is an excellent choice for IT departments that are looking for ways to increase computing performance and memory capacity while getting the most value from the available space in their data centers.

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.

High Performance for the Most Demanding Workloads

The Cisco UCS B460 M4 Blade Server provides outstanding performance and enterprise-critical stability for memory-intensive workloads such as large-scale databases, in-memory analytics, and business intelligence.

Features and Capabilities

The Cisco UCS B460 M4 server harnesses the power of the Intel Xeon E7 v3 processor product family and accelerates access to critical data.

It offers:

• Easy integration into UCS Managed server environments
• Cisco SingleConnect technology for one simplified link for rack servers, blade servers, and virtual machines
• Six mezzanine connectors providing vast I/O expandability
• Industry leading performance, features, and reliability, availability, and serviceability capabilities

In addition, Cisco UCS provides the fabric-centric, architectural advantage of not having to purchase, power, cool, and maintain excess switches and interface cards in each Cisco UCS blade chassis. As a result, customers get exceptional expandability and versatility in using Cisco UCS blade servers.
