Feature

Benefit

Unified fabric

●  Decreases total cost of ownership (TCO) by reducing the number of NICs, HBAs, switches, and cables needed

●  Enables the Cisco UCS 5108 chassis to eliminate in-chassis HBAs, NICs, and switches and reallocates the saved power to denser, more powerful blade servers with more DIMM slots and better per-blade performance compared to alternative offerings

Cisco UCS Manager service profiles

●  Helps reduce the number of manual steps required to deploy servers in the data center, improving server policy consistency and coherency

●  Allows servers and support infrastructure to be provisioned in minutes instead of days, shifting IT’s focus from maintenance to strategic initiatives

●  Reduces configuration errors significantly as blades are added or repurposed

●  Enables service profile movement from blade server to blade server, rack server to blade server, blade server to rack server, or blade server to blade server in another chassis

Autodiscovery

●  Requires no configuration; as with all Cisco UCS components, blades are automatically recognized and configured by Cisco UCS Manager

Feature

Benefit

Extensive monitoring

●  Through Cisco UCS Manager, provides extensive environmental monitoring for each blade

●  Allows use of user thresholds to optimize environmental management of the blade

Cisco VIC adapter

●  Offers the Cisco UCS VIC 1240, a 4-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet, FCoE-capable adapter

●  When used in combination with the VIC 1280, the two VICs can deliver a total of 8x10GbE throughput as well as hardware redundancy

Mezzanine adapters

●  Provides a choice of converged network adapters (CNAs), VIC adapters, or third-party PCIe cards, providing flexibility, increased performance, compatibility with industry standards, and network policy coherence for virtualized environments

Cisco Flexible Flash Secure Digital Cards

●  Two optional Cisco FlexFlash drives (SD Cards)

●  Provides dual secure digital high-capacity (SDHC) flash card sockets on the front left side of the server

Note: Cisco FlexFlash SD cards are currently orderable; however, they will be enabled only with future firmware and software updates.

Optional local storage

●  Provides support on each blade for up to 2 optional, hot-pluggable, front-access SAS or SATA HDDs or SSDs

Intel Xeon processor E5-2400 and E5-2400 v2

product family

●  Provides automated energy efficiency, reducing 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

●  Delivers 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

●  Keeps 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 and E5-2400 v2 product family, the Cisco UCS B-Series offers an improved price-to- performance ratio, making Cisco UCS servers among the best values in the industry

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

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