Product Overview 
The Cisco® Connected Grid Appliance 220NH is a non-hardened substation appliance that combines networking and storage 
access into a single system optimized for running the Cisco Substation Workbench - Monitoring & Network Analysis software.  
This integrated solution enables substations to monitor the intra-substation local area network for issues that could adversely 
impact utility grid operations.   
 
The Connected Grid Appliance 220NH delivers greater cost efficiency and agility with increased visibility and control. The 
appliance is a one rack unit [1RU]) and contains increased compute density through a multi-core CPU and cache balanced with 
8GB of memory capacity and 500GB of data storage with faster I/O. This specification delivers the best combination of features 
and cost efficiency required to support utility OT’s and IT's diverse server needs.
