Cisco UCS C210 M2 General-Purpose Rack-Mount Server
Product Overview
Cisco
®
UCS C-Series Rack-Mount Servers extend unified computing innovations to an industry-standard form factor
to help reduce total cost of ownership (TCO) and increase business agility. Designed to operate both in standalone
environments and as part of the Cisco Unified Computing System
™
, the series employs Cisco technology to help
customers handle the most challenging workloads. The series incorporates a standards-based unified network fabric
and Cisco VN-Link virtualization and protects customer investments with a future migration path to unified computing.
The Cisco UCS C210 M2 General-Purpose Rack-Mount Server is a two-socket, two-rack-unit (2RU) rack-mount
server housing up to 16 internal small form-factor (SFF) SAS, SATA or SSD drives for a total of up to 16 terabytes
(TB) of storage (Figure 1). The Cisco UCS C210 M2 server is designed to balance performance, density, and
efficiency for workloads requiring economical, high-capacity, reliable, internal storage. Based on six-core Intel
®
Xeon
®
5600 series processors, the server is built for applications including virtualization, network file servers and appliances,
storage servers, database servers, and content-delivery servers.
Building on the success of the Cisco UCS C210 M1 General-Purpose Rack-Mount Server, the Cisco UCS C210 M2
server extends the capabilities of the Cisco Unified Computing System with the next generation of Intel processor
technology: Intel
®
Xeon
®
5600 series processors. These powerful processors deliver more cores, threads, and cache,
all within a similar power envelope, with even faster payback, greater productivity, and better energy efficiency than
preceding models. When put into production, Cisco Unified Computing System and Intel Xeon 5600 series
processors together offer further reductions in TCO, increased business agility, and another big leap forward in data
center virtualization.

Applications
The Cisco UCS C210 M2 server combines the fastest Intel processors on the market today with a substantial amount
of internal storage, creating a platform that speeds up standard and virtualized environments while helping optimize
performance of storage-intensive applications:
●
Virtualization workloads using a single or a large pool of servers; the optional Cisco UCS P81E Virtual
Interface Card
*
brings the full power of the Cisco Unified Computing System to the platform, including the
capability to support up to 128 Ethernet or Fibre Channel virtual interfaces that are programmed on demand to
meet the needs of both virtualized and nonvirtualized environments, and Intel Virtualization Technology for
Direct I/O further speeds virtual machine I/O operations by facilitating direct control over physical interfaces
from virtual machines
●
Database management systems can thrive on the server’s abundant internal storage.
