Deskripsi

Cisco UCS C240 M6 Rack Server

The Cisco UCS C240 M6 Rack Server is a 2-socket, 2-Rack-Unit (2RU) rack server offering industry-leading performance and expandability. It supports a wide range of storage and I/O-intensive infrastructure workloads, from big data and analytics to collaboration. Cisco UCS C-Series M6 Rack Servers can be deployed as standalone servers or as part of a Cisco Unified Computing System (Cisco UCS) managed environment, and now with Cisco Intersight is able to take advantage of Cisco’s standards-based unified computing innovations that help reduce customers’ Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and increase their business agility.

In response to ever-increasing computing and data-intensive real-time workloads, the enterprise-class Cisco UCS C240 M6 server extends the capabilities of the Cisco UCS portfolio in a 2RU form factor. It incorporates 3rd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors, supporting up to 40 cores per socket and 33 percent more memory versus the previous generation.

The C240 M6 rack server brings many new innovations to the UCS rack server portfolio. With the introduction of PCIe Gen 4.0 expansion slots for high-speed I/O, DDR4 memory bus, and expanded storage capabilities, the server delivers significant performance and efficiency gains that will improve your application performance. Its features including the following:

●     Supports the third-generation Intel Xeon Scalable CPU, with up to 40 cores per socket

●     Up to 32 DDR4 DIMMs for improved performance, including higher density DDR4 DIMMs (16 DIMMs per socket)

●     16x DDR4 DIMMs + 16x Intel Optane persistent memory modules for up to 12 TB of memory

●     Up to 8 PCIe Gen 4.0 expansion slots plus a modular LAN-on-motherboard (mLOM) slot

●     Support for Cisco UCS VIC 1400 Series adapters as well as third-party options

●     Up to 28 hot-swappable Small-Form-Factor (SFF) SAS/SATA or NVMe:

◦   28 SFF SAS/SATA (with up to 8x NVMe)

◦   26 NVMe in all NVMe SKU (SN) at PCIe Gen 4 x4 (2:1 oversubscribed)

◦   14 NVMe in all NVMe SKU (N)

◦   16 LFF drives with options 4 rear SFF (SAS/SATA/NVMe) disk drives

●     Support for a 12-Gbps SAS modular RAID controller in a dedicated slot, leaving the remaining PCIe Gen 4.0 expansion slots available for other expansion cards

●     M.2 boot options

◦   Up to 960 GB with optional hardware RAID

●     Up to five GPUs supported

●     Modular LAN-on-motherboard (mLOM) slot that can be used to install a Cisco UCS Virtual Interface Card (VIC) without consuming a PCIe slot, supporting quad port 10/40 Gbps or dual port 40/100 Gbps network connectivity

●     Dual embedded Intel x550 10GBASE-T LAN-on-motherboard (LOM) ports

●     Modular M.2 SATA SSDs for boot

High performance for data-intensive applications

The Cisco UCS C240 M6 Rack Server is well-suited for a wide range of enterprise workloads, including:

●     Big data and analytics

●     Collaboration

●     Small and medium-sized business databases

●     Virtualization and consolidation

●     Storage servers

●     High-performance appliances

C240 M6 servers can be deployed as standalone servers, part of a Cisco UCS–managed environment, or through Cisco Intersight. When used in combination with Cisco Intersight, the C240 M6 brings the power and automation of unified computing to enterprise applications, including Cisco SingleConnect technology, drastically reducing switching and cabling requirements.

Cisco Intersight leverages the familiar capabilities of UCS Manager with service profiles, templates, and policy-based management to enable rapid deployment and help ensure deployment consistency. It also enables end-to-end server visibility, management, and control in both virtualized and bare-metal environments.

The Cisco Integrated Management Controller (IMC) delivers comprehensive out-of-band server management with support for many industry standards, including:

●     Redfish Version 1.11.1 (2021.1 schema0)

●     Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) v2.0

●     Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) v2 and v3

●     Syslog

●     Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP)

●     Key Management Interoperability Protocol (KMIP)

●     cKVM (all-new Cisco KVM)

●     Command-Line Interface (CLI)

●     XML API
