Cisco UCS C220 M3 Rack Server

Product Overview

The Cisco

Unified Computing System

™

(Cisco UCS) combines Cisco UCS C-Series Rack Servers and B-Series

Blade Servers with networking and storage access into 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 C220 M3 Rack Server (one rack unit [1RU]) and Cisco UCS

C240 M3 Rack Server (2RU) and the Cisco UCS B200 M3 Blade Server. These three new servers increase

compute density through more cores and cache balanced with more memory capacity, disk drives and with faster

I/O. Together these server improvements and complementary Cisco UCS advancements deliver the best

combination of features and cost efficiency required to support IT’s diverse server needs.

The Cisco UCS C220 M3 Rack Server (Figure 1) is designed for performance and density over a wide range of

business workloads, from web serving to distributed databases. Building on the success of the Cisco UCS C200

M2 Rack Server, the enterprise-class Cisco UCS C220 M3 server further extends the capabilities of the Cisco

UCS portfolio in a 1RU form factor with the addition of the Intel

Xeon

processor E5-2600 and E5-2600 v2

product families, which deliver significant performance and efficiency gains. In addition, the Cisco UCS C220 M3

server offers up to two Intel

Xeon

processor E5-2600 or E5-2600 v2 processors, 16 DIMM slots, eight disk

drives, and two 1 Gigabit Ethernet LAN-on-motherboard (LOM) ports, delivering outstanding density and

performance in a compact package.

The Cisco UCS C220 M3 interfaces with Cisco UCS using another unique Cisco innovation: the Cisco UCS Virtual

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

(FCoE) PCI Express (PCIe) 2.0 x8 10-Gbps adapter designed for use with Cisco UCS C-Series servers. The VIC

is a dual-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe adapter that can support up to 256 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 The Cisco UCS C220 M3 server is a high-density general-purpose 2-socket server optimized to deliver high performance for a large range of workloads, including: ● Distributed database clusters ● Middleware ● High-performance virtual desktops ● IT and web infrastructure Cisco UCS Servers Change the Economics of the Data Center IT infrastructure matters now more than ever, as organizations seek to achieve the full potential of infrastructure as a service (IaaS), bare metal, virtualized ser

Cisco innovations, such as Cisco UCS Manager, allow administrators to create a software definition for a desired server (using Cisco service profiles and templates) and then instantiate that server and its I/O connectivity by associating a service profile with physical resources. This approach contrasts with the traditional approach of configuring each system resource manually, one at a time, through individual element managers.
