Deskripsi

Cisco UCS C225 M8 Rack Server

Product overview

The Cisco UCS C225 M8 Rack Server is a versatile general-purpose infrastructure and application server. This high-density, 1RU, single-socket rack server delivers industry-leading performance and efficiency for a wide range of workloads, including virtualization, collaboration, and bare-metal applications.

The Cisco UCS C225 M8 Rack Server extends the capabilities of the Cisco UCS rack server portfolio. It powers 5^th Gen and 4^th Gen AMD EPYC^™ Processors with 150 percent more cores per socket designed using AMD’s chiplet architecture. With advanced features such as AMD Infinity Guard, compute-intensive applications will see significant performance improvements and reap other benefits such as power and cost efficiencies.

You can deploy the Cisco UCS C-Series rack servers as standalone servers or as part of the Cisco Unified Computing System^™ managed by Cisco Intersight^® or Cisco UCS Manager to take advantage of Cisco^® standards-based unified computing innovations that can help reduce your Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and increase your business agility.

The C225 M8 rack server brings many new innovations to the Cisco UCS AMD rack server portfolio. With the introduction of PCIe Gen 5.0 for high-speed I/O, a DDR5 memory bus, and expanded storage capabilities, the server delivers significant performance and efficiency gains that will improve your application performance.
