Cisco UCS C22 M3 Rack Servers
The Cisco UCS C22 M3 Rack Server combines outstanding economics and a density-optimized feature set. The C22 M3 Rack Server targets entry level enterprise to SMB with applications such as scale out, virtualization, IT and web infrastructure, VPN servers,
[UCSC22]
Offers 12 DIMM slots, up to 4 LFF or 8 SFF disk drives, 2 PCI Express Generation 3.0 slots and two 1 Gigabit Ethernet LAN-on-motherboard ports, providing both an excellent price-to-performance ratio and a compact form factor.
Availability: In stock
Details
The Cisco UCS C22 M3 server interfaces with Cisco UCS using another unique Cisco® innovation: the Cisco UCS Virtual Interface Card 1225 (VIC 1225). The Cisco UCS VIC 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 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 C22 M3 server is a high-density, scale-out 2-socket server optimized to deliver balanced price and performance for a range of enterprise to SMB workloads, including:- Scale-out applications
- Web 2.0 workloads
- Density-constrained applications
- IT infrastructure
- Web infrastructure
- SMB applications
- File and print server
- VPN Server
- Small virtualization
Cisco UCS Servers Change the Economics of the Data Center
Cisco continues to lead in data center innovation with infrastructure as a service (IaaS), bare metal, virtualized servers, and cloud computing with the introduction of new building blocks such as the C22 M3 Server for Cisco UCS that extend the system’s exceptional simplicity, agility, and efficiency (Figure 2). The Cisco C22 M3 rack server also continues Cisco’s commitment to delivering uniquely differentiated value, fabric integration, and ease of management that is exceptional in the marketplace. For example, Cisco innovations, such as the form-factor-agnostic Cisco UCS Manager software, allow 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. Unlike vendors of traditional systems, Cisco uses a unified management model with service profiles that can be moved easily between any Cisco UCS servers, whether blade server or rack server, in a Cisco UCS Manager domain
Other Cisco UCS building blocks include enhanced server I/O options and expanded Cisco UCS fabric interconnects that extend scalability, investment protection, and management simplicity for both rack and blade systems. Here are a few examples of Cisco UCS investment protection:
- Fabric extenders can be upgraded using the same fabric interconnects and the same Cisco UCS VIC 1225.
- Fabric interconnect hardware can be upgraded independently of fabric extenders and rack servers.
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 C22 M3 is also part of a larger family of rack servers: the Cisco UCS C-Series Rack Servers. Designed to operate both in standalone environments and as part of Cisco UCS, all Cisco UCS C-Series servers complement and extend Cisco innovation, investment protection, and simplicity. Cisco UCS C-Series servers provide innovations such as:
- Standards-based unified network fabric
- Cisco Data Center VM-FEX virtualization support
- Cisco UCS Manager software
- Cisco fabric extender and fabric interconnect architectures
- Cisco Extended Memory Technology
With Cisco UCS C-Series innovations, Cisco UCS architectural advantages, software advances, continuous innovation, and unique rack and blade server designs, Cisco UCS is the first truly unified data center platform. In addition, Cisco UCS can transform IT departments through policy-based automation and deep integration with familiar systems management and orchestration tools.
