Cisco® UCS C-Series Rack-Mount Servers extend unified computing innovations to an industry-standard form factor
to help reduce total cost of ownership (TCO) and increase business agility. Designed to operate both in standalone
environments and as part of the Cisco Unified Computing System™, the series employs Cisco technology to help
customers handle the most challenging workloads. The series incorporates a standards-based unified network
fabric, Cisco VN-Link virtualization support, and Cisco Extended Memory Technology. It supports an incremental
deployment model and protects customer investments with a future migration path to unified computing.
The Cisco UCS C200 M2 High-Density Rack-Mount Server is a high-density server with balanced compute
performance and I/O flexibility (Figure 1). This price-to-performance optimized two-socket, one-rack-unit (1RU) rack-
mount server is designed to balance simplicity, performance, and density for web infrastructure and mainstream data
center, small-office, and remote-office applications. Its single-rack-unit size makes it useful for service providers
offering dedicated or multi-tenant hosting, and its economical price makes it well suited to the appliance market.
Building on the success of the Cisco UCS C200 M1 High-Density Rack-Mount Server, the Cisco UCS C200 M2
server extends the capabilities of the Cisco Unified Computing System with the next generation of Intel processor
technology: Intel® Xeon® 5600 series processors. These powerful processors deliver more cores, threads, and
cache, all within a similar power envelope, with even faster payback, greater productivity, and better energy
efficiency than preceding models. When put into production, 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.
