Cisco Unified Computing System -
architecture for a wide range of workloads
Ideal architecture for a wide range of applications, including virtualization and deployment of bare metal applications
In addition to network equipment, the manufacturer holds a leading position in the server equipment market. Cisco launched its server solution, the UCS (Unified Computing System), on the market back in 2009
UCS blade servers are the workhorses of modern data centers. The hardware platform makes it easy to handle scalable workloads.
Two server options are available to customers: half-width and full-width, UCS B200 M5 and B480 M5, respectively.
The servers are installed in a common 6U UCS 5108 chassis. This provides decent performance and compute density required to support multi-tiered and distributed applications.

Cisco UCS rack servers cover a wide range of tasks, allowing you to install up to 4 latest generation Intel Xeon processors and up to 18 TB of RAM (24x256GB DDR4 DIMM)
In addition to standard management through a dedicated Cisco Integrated Management Controller (CIMC, analogous to iLO and iDRAC) interface, servers can be integrated into a single Cisco Unified Computing System architecture by connecting in Fabric Interconnect.
