Feature

Benefit

Unified management

(when integrated into

Cisco Unified Computing

System)

●  Entire solution managed as a single entity with Cisco UCS Manager, improving operation 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

●  Capability to move virtual machines and their security features and policies from rack to rack or rack to blade or blade to blade

Intel Xeon processor E52600 and E5-2600 v2 product families

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

●  Cisco C-Series servers keep pace with Intel Xeon processor innovation by offering the latest processors with an increase in processor frequency and improved security and availability features. With the increased performance provided by the Intel Xeon processor E5-2600 and E5-2600 v2 product families, Cisco UCS CSeries servers offer an improved price-to-performance ratio, making Cisco UCS servers among the best values in the industry

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

●  Hardened protection for virtual and cloud Environments: Establish trusted pools of virtual resources with Intel^® Trusted Execution Technology (Intel^® TXT). Intel TXT ensures 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

High-capacity, flexible

●  2 PCIe generation 3 x16 slots: both full height, and three-quarters length (10.5-in)

●  3 PCIe generation 3 x8 slots: 1 full height and three-quarters length, 1 full height and half length, and 1 half height and half length

Integrated quad-port

● Outstanding network I/O performance and increased network efficiency and flexibility

Gigabit Ethernet

● Increased network availability when configured in failover configurations

Trusted Platform Module (TPM)

●  TPM is a chip (microcontroller) that can securely store artifacts used to authenticate the platform (server). These artifacts can include passwords, certificates, or encryption keys

●  TPM can also be used to store platform measurements that help ensure that the platform remains trustworthy, helping ensure authentication and authorization

Tool-free access

● Enhanced serviceability through tool-free access to all serviceable items and color coded indicators to guide

users to hot-pluggable and serviceable items
