Cisco UCS M-Series Modular Servers
Gain flexibility and security for distributed workloads
Cisco UCS M-Series Modular Servers designed to meet the high-performance demands of massively parallelized, predominantly single-threaded applications. The unique design of the Cisco UCS M-Series combines Cisco Virtual Interface Card (VIC) technology and server fabric management with x86 computing elements in a dense, modular architecture that delivers uncompromising application performance. Cisco UCS M-Series servers are cost-effective, scalable, and easy to manage.
Unlike conventional x86 rack and blade servers, the Cisco UCS M-Series is a specialized platform targeted at applications that perform optimally across many smaller computing elements, such as cloud-scale computing, high-performance computing, online gaming, engineering design automation, data analytics, and risk modeling.
Modular, dense, and power-efficient computing platform for cloud-scale applications
Cisco UCS M-Series Modular Servers are built around Cisco's next-generation Virtual Interface Card (VIC) technology and the proven policy-based management provided by Cisco UCS Manager. The unique technology of the Cisco UCS M-Series enables exceptional centralization of components across multiple servers, which are typically captive and redundant in every server. The Cisco UCS M-Series consists of two elements: the chassis and the cartridge. The chassis houses compute cartridges and the central components that are shared by the cartridges.
| Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Unique architecture enabling 16 servers in a 2RU footprint and up to 320 servers (1280 cores) in a single data center rack | Industry-leading server density offers significant cost savings for data center customers deploying a large number of smaller servers to host highly parallelized workloads. |
| Unified embedded management provided by the proven Cisco UCS Manager for servers, network, and storage | Single pane of glass to provision and manage all components in the rack without the need to switch from one console to another. |
| Policy-based provisioning and management enabled by Cisco UCS service profiles | Service Profiles augmented with Storage Profiles significantly enables the dynamic slicing of centralized resources and help ensure Quality of Service (QoS) for the deployed workloads. |
| Modular chassis with hot-pluggable components | The Cisco UCS M-Series enhances serviceability by providing easy tool-less replacement options for almost all the field-replaceable units (FRUs) to minimize or eliminate downtime. |
| Reduced power consumption per server | The Cisco UCS M-Series uses the latest low-power-consuming CPUs to deliver optimized performance per watt. |
