Barebone Systems

Designed for demanding virtualization and database workloads, the UCS B480 M5 combines a large memory footprint with four-socket scalability, leveraging the Intel® Xeon® Scalable processor family CPUs. The UCS B480 M5 supports 2666-MHz DDR4 memory and utilizes UCS Virtual Interface Card (VIC) technology to achieve up to 160 Gb aggregate I/O bandwidth, all in a dense, full-width blade form factor. The UCS B480 M5 maintains memory performance even as capacity grows can support up to 6 TB of memory without compromise to CPU speed or core count. Up to four UCS B480 M5 Blade Servers can be installed in the UCS 5108 Blade Server Chassis.

The UCS B480 M5 Blade Server is centrally managed using Cisco UCS Manager. Cisco UCSM provides a single management interface for all hardware and software components of a UCS domain. Cisco UCSM manages up to 160 servers, using Single Connect Technology to consolidate network, storage, and management traffic. With Cisco UCS Central, management can be extended globally to thousands of servers in multiple domains.

Enterprise-Critical Performance and Expandability

Turn your mission-critical business workloads into a competitive advantage by harnessing the value of your most important data assets. Building upon Cisco Unified Computing innovation, the UCS B260 M4 Blade Server provides leading performance and enterprise-critical stability for intensive workloads such as database, in-memory analytics, and large scale VM consolidation.

The UCS C220 M5 SFF server extends the capabilities of Cisco's Unified Computing System portfolio in a 1U form factor with the addition of the Intel® Xeon® Processor Scalable Family, 24 DIMM slots for 2666MHz DIMMs and capacity points up to 128GB, 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 included one dedicated internal 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 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.

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.
