Feature

Benefit

10-Gbps unified network fabric

●  Low-latency, lossless, 10-Gbps Ethernet and industry-standard Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) fabric

●  Wire-once deployment model in which changing I/O configurations no longer means installing adapters and recabling racks and switches

●  Fewer interface cards, cables, and upstream network ports to purchase, power, configure, and maintain

Virtualization optimization

●  Cisco VN-Link technology, I/O virtualization, and Intel Xeon 5600 series processor features, extending the network directly to virtual machines

●  Consistent and scalable operational model

●  Increased security and efficiency with reduced complexity

Unified management^* (when integrated into the Cisco Unified Computing

System)

●  Entire solution managed as a single entity with Cisco UCS Manager, improving operational efficiency and flexibility

●  Service profiles and templates that implement role- and policy-based management, enabling more effective use of skilled server, network, and storage administrators

●  Automated provisioning and increased business agility, allowing data center managers to provision applications in minutes rather than days

Six-core Intel Xeon 5600 series processors

●  Intelligent performance that automatically adjusts processor performance to meet application demands, increasing performance when needed and achieving substantial energy savings when not

●  Automated energy efficiency that reduces energy costs by automatically putting the processor and memory in the lowest available power state while still delivering the performance required

●  Flexible virtualization technology that optimizes performance for virtualized environments, including processor support for migration and direct I/O

●  With more cores, threads, and cache, in a similar power envelope, the Cisco Unified Computing System and Intel Xeon 5600 series processors together offer further reductions in TCO, increased business agility, and another big leap forward in data center virtualization.

●  Cisco C-series servers keep pace with Intel Xeon processor innovation by offering the latest series 5600 processors with an increase in processor frequency and improved security features. With the increased clock speed, the Intel Xeon 5600 series based UCS C-Series rack mount servers will offer improved price/performance making UCS servers one of the best values in the industry.

High-capacity, flexible internal storage

●  Up to 16 front-accessible, hot-swappable, SFF SAS, SATA or SSD drives for local storage, providing redundancy options and ease of serviceability

●  Balanced performance and capacity to best meet application needs:

◦ 15,000 RPM SAS drives for highest performance

◦ 10,000 RPM SAS drives for high performance and value

◦ 7200-RPM SATA drives for high capacity and value

RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60 support

A choice of RAID controllers to provide data protection for up to 16 SAS, SATA or SSD drives in PCIe and mezzanine card form factors
