Unified management (when

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

integrated into Cisco UCS)

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 by associating a service profile with a new, added, or repurposed Cisco UCS C22 M3 server

●  Capability to move service profiles from rack server to rack server, blade server to rack server, or rack server to blade server in minutes instead of hours or days

Feature

Benefit

Intel Xeon processor E5-2400 product family

●  Automated energy efficiency reduces energy costs by automatically putting the processor and memory in the lowest available power state while still delivering the performance required and flexible virtualization technology that optimizes performance for virtualized environments, including processor support for migration and direct I/O

●  Up to twice the performance is provided for floating-point operations. Intel Advanced Vector Extensions (Intel AVX) provides new instructions that can significantly improve performance for applications that rely on floating-point or vector computations

●  Cisco UCS C-Series servers keep pace with Intel Xeon processor innovation by offering the latest processors with an increase in processor frequency and improved security features. With the increased performance provided by the Intel Xeon processor E5-2400 product family, Cisco UCS C-Series rack servers offer an improved price-to-performance ratio, making Cisco UCS servers among the best values in the industry

●  Advanced reliability features include Machine Check Architecture Recovery to automatically monitor, report, and recover from hardware errors to maintain data integrity and keep mission-critical services online

●  Establish trusted pools of virtual resources with Intel^® Trusted Execution Technology (Intel^® TXT), gaining hardened protection for virtual and cloud environments. Intel TXT helps ensure that physical servers and hypervisors boot only into cryptographically verified “known good states.” It safeguards your business more effectively by protecting your platform from the insertion of malware during or prior to launch

Hot-swappable SAS or SATA

● Up to 4 LFF (Large Form Factor) or 8 SFF (Small Form Factor) front-accessible, hot-swappable, internal

drives

SAS and SATA drives, 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
