The Cisco UCS B200 M4 solutions have the latest Intel E5-2630 v3 processors. The Intel E5-2660 v3 offers somewhat lower power and has a lower operating frequency. It offers a balance of performance, versatility, and density without compromise. A powerhouse in a compact package, it offers maximum scalability, providing everything you need to get started with Cisco UCS. Each blade can support is pre-instsalled with 128GB RAM across 24 DIMMs, up-gradeable to 384GB. Up to 2TB of internal storage, and up to 80Gbps of FCoE capable I/O throughput.
The Cisco Unified Computing System™ (Cisco UCS®) combines Cisco UCS B-Series Blade Servers and C-Series Rack Servers with networking and storage access into a single converged system with simplified management, greater cost efficiency and agility, and increased visibility and control. One of the newest servers in the Cisco UCS portfolio is the Cisco UCS B200 M4 Blade Server.
The UCS B200 M4 Blade Server (Figure 1) delivers performance, flexibility and optimization for data centers and remote sites. This enterprise-class server offers market-leading performance, versatility, and density without compromise for workloads ranging from web infrastructure to distributed databases. The Cisco UCS B200 M4 server can quickly deploy stateless physical and virtual workloads, with the programmable ease of use of the Cisco UCS Manager software and simplified server access with Cisco®SingleConnect technology. Based on the Intel® Xeon® processor E5-2600 v4 and v3 product family, it offers up to 1.5 TB of total memory when using 64 GB DIMMs, up to two drives, and up to 80 Gbps I/O throughput. The Cisco UCS B200 M4 offers exceptional levels of performance, flexibility, and I/O throughput to run your most demanding applications.
In addition, Cisco UCS has the architectural advantage of not having to power and cool excess switches, NICs and HBAs in each blade server chassis. Having a larger power budget per blade server provides uncompromised expandability and capabilities, as in the new Cisco UCS B200 M4 server with its leading memory-slot and drive capacity.
