Cisco Cisco UCS B260 M4 Blade Server Hoja De Datos

Page 3 of 7

The Cisco UCS VIC 1380 is a dual-port 40-Gbps Ethernet or FCoE adapter that further expands Cisco UCS B260

M4 Blade Server bandwidth to 160 Gbps. The Cisco UCS VIC 1340 and 1380 enable a policy-based, stateless,

agile server infrastructure that can present up to 256 PCI Express (PCIe) standards-compliant interfaces to the

host, which can be dynamically configured as either network interface cards (NICs) or host bus adapters (HBAs).

In addition, the Cisco UCS VIC 1340 and 1380 support Cisco

Data Center Virtual Machine Fabric Extender

(VM-FEX) technology, which extends the Cisco UCS fabric interconnect ports to virtual machines, simplifying

server virtualization deployment.

Powering Mission-Critical Applications

The Cisco UCS B260 M4 continues Cisco's commitment to delivering differentiated value, fabric integration, and

ease of management that is exceptional in the marketplace for mission critical applications:

●

Database

●

Virtualization

●

Large-memory applications

●

Consolidation workloads

Cisco UCS Servers Change the Economics of the Data Center

IT infrastructure matters now more than ever, as organizations seek to achieve the full potential of IaaS,

bare-metal, virtualized servers, and cloud computing. Cisco continues to lead in data center innovation with the

introduction of new, mission-critical, server building blocks for Cisco UCS that extend its exceptional simplicity,

agility, and efficiency. New innovations such as the Cisco UCS B260 M4 bring greater performance and memory

locality from IT infrastructure to enterprise applications. In addition, Cisco UCS is a system beyond individual rack

or blades servers that conveys enormous benefits to customers (Table 1).

Fewer cables, HBAs, NICs, and switches to purchase, license, power, cool,
and maintain

Greater flexibility through total
hardware abstraction

Cisco UCS Manager
software

●  Less configuration drift among servers
●  Server provisioning times that are reduced from days to minutes
●  Servers that are provisioned in an automated and consistent manner
●  Future foundation for fast, consistent server provisioning

Total openness

Open APIs

Unique visibility into Cisco UCS beyond Cisco UCS Manager to Cisco UCS
Director and other third-party management tools

Cisco UCS provides three major innovations that lower both capital and operating expenditures for server

customers: Cisco Single Connect technology, Cisco UCS Manager software, and open APIs.

●

Cisco SingleConnect technology provides a dramatic fabric simplification of networking and cabling

infrastructure: one easy, intelligent, and efficient way to connect rack and blade servers, physical and

virtual, LAN and SAN, and management.

●

Cisco UCS Manager helps reduce management and administration expenses, which are among the largest

items in most IT budgets. The UCS Manager can manage up to 160 servers and thousands of Cisco UCS

components in multiple chassis. The embedded management software and all the managed components

are part of a UCS domain.
