Cisco UCS C24 M3 Rack Server

Product Overview

The form-factor-agnostic Cisco Unified Computing System

™

(Cisco UCS

™

) combines Cisco UCS C-Series Rack

Servers and B-Series Blade Servers with networking and storage access in a single converged system that

simplifies management and delivers greater cost efficiency and agility with increased visibility and control. The

latest expansion of the Cisco UCS portfolio includes the new Cisco UCS C24 M3 Rack Server. This new server

increases compute density through more cores and cache balanced with adequate memory capacity, abundant

internal disk drives and faster I/O. Together these server improvements and complementary Cisco UCS

advancements deliver the combination of features and cost efficiency required to support IT’s diverse server

needs.

The Cisco UCS C24 M3 Rack Server (Figure 1) is designed for both outstanding economics and internal

expandability. The Cisco C24 M3 Rack Server targets entry level virtualization, IT and web infrastructure as well as

storage-intensive infrastructure workloads from big data and small to medium databases to file serving and

windows storage servers. Building on the success of the Cisco UCS C-Series Rack Servers, the Cisco UCS C24

M3 server and the Cisco UCS Virtual Interface Card 1225 (VIC 1225) extend the capabilities of the Cisco UCS

portfolio in a 2RU form factor with the Intel

Xeon

processor E5-2400 product family, which delivers an optimal

combination of performance, flexibility, and efficiency gains. In addition, the Cisco UCS C24 M3 offers up to 12

DIMM slots, up to 12, 16 or 24 disk drives, 5 PCI express (PCIe) slots, and two 1 Gigabit Ethernet LAN-on-

motherboard (LOM) ports to provide an exceptional internal storage capacity and price-to-performance ratio.

The Cisco UCS C24 M3 server interfaces with Cisco UCS using another Cisco

innovation: the Cisco UCS Virtual

Interface Card 1225. The Cisco UCS Virtual Interface Card 1225 is a virtualization-optimized Fibre Channel over

Ethernet (FCoE) PCIe 2.0 x8 10-Gbps adapter designed for use with Cisco UCS C-Series Rack Servers. The

Virtual Interface Card 1225 is a dual-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe adapter that can support up to 18 PCIe

standards-compliant virtual interfaces, which can be dynamically configured so that both their interface type

(network interface card [NIC] or host bus adapter [HBA]) and identity (MAC address and worldwide name [WWN])

are established using just-in-time provisioning. In addition, the Cisco UCS VIC 1225 can support network interface

virtualization and Cisco Data Center Virtual Machine Fabric Extender (VM-FEX) technology.

Applications Not all storage-intensive workloads are alike, and the Cisco UCS C24 M3 server’s disk configuration delivers balanced performance and expandability to best meet individual workload requirements. With up to 12, 16 or 24 internal drives, the Cisco UCS C24 M3 optionally offers 10,000- and 15,000-RPM SAS drives to deliver a high number of I/O operations per second (IOPS) for transactional workloads such as database management systems.

Figure 2. Cisco UCS Components For example, Cisco innovations, such as the form-factor-agnostic Cisco UCS Manager software, allows administrators to create a software model of a desired server (using Cisco service profiles and templates) and then instantiate that server and its I/O connectivity by associating a model with physical resources. This stateless approach contrasts with the traditional method of configuring each system resource manually, one at a time, through individual element managers.

In addition, Cisco continues to innovate in nearly all hardware and software components of Cisco UCS, helping ensure that more powerful rack servers have adequate I/O bandwidth, management scalability, and investment protection both now and in the future. The Cisco UCS C24 M3 is also part of a larger family of rack servers: the Cisco UCS C-Series Rack Servers.
