Cisco has upgraded Cisco Unified Computing System with new enhancements to deliver a third-generation fabric computing platform which integrates network, compute, virtualisation and management.
The Cisco UCS third-generation fabric computing platform incorporates the new Intel Xeon processor E5-2600 product family and includes multiple server form factors delivering improved server density and efficiency, with up to eight times the memory capacity and four times the I/O compared to previous UCS servers.
Cisco broadens the Cisco Unified Computing System portfolio with one blade and two rack-mount servers based on the Intel Xeon processor E5-2600.
Cisco UCS B200 M3 blade server provides performance and density in a half-blade form factor, delivering balanced density through its 24 DIMM slots and up to 80 gigabits of I/O bandwidth.
Cisco UCS C220 M3 Rack Server is a one-rack-unit server designed for performance and density for a wide range of business workloads, from Web services to distributed databases whereas Cisco UCS C240 M3 Rack Server is a two-rack-unit server designed for both performance and expandability over a wide range of storage-intensive infrastructure workloads, from big data to collaboration.
The new enhancements would reportedly enable UCS customers to achieve up to 30% lower infrastructure expenses, 90% reduction in deployment times, 40% improvements in application performance and 60% reductions in power/cooling costs.
