Table 3 Capabilities and Features
Capability/Feature
Description
Management by Cisco
UCS Manager
■
Reduces TCO by consolidating management modules into the chassis,
making the chassis stateless
■
Provides a single, highly available management domain for all system
chassis, reducing administrative tasks through automated service profile
configuration
Unified fabric
Decreases TCO by reducing the number of network interface cards (NICs),
host bus adapters (HBAs), switches, and cables needed
Support for up to two
Cisco UCS 6324 Fabric
Interconnects that
connect directly to
external Nexus switch
■
Allows use of up to two 6324 fabric interconnects for redundancy or
aggregation of bandwidth
■
The 6324 Fabric Interconnect combines the Fabric Extender and Fabric
Interconnect functions into one plug-in module, and allows direct
connection to an external switch.
Auto-discovery
Requires no configuration; like all components in the Cisco Unified
Computing System, chassis are automatically recognized and configured by
Cisco UCS Manager and its service profiles and service profile groups
High-performance
mid-plane
■
Provides investment protection
■
Supports up to 80 Gbit Ethernet links to each half-width blade slot
■
Provides 8 blades with 1.2 Tbps of available Ethernet throughput for
future I/O requirements. Note the maximum I/O per 6324 is 500 Gbps.
Redundant
hot-swappable power
supplies and fans
■
Provides high availability in multiple configurations
■
Provides uninterrupted service during maintenance
Hot-swappable blade
servers and fabric
interconnects
Provides uninterrupted service during maintenance and server deployment
Comprehensive
monitoring
■
Provides extensive environmental monitoring on each chassis
■
Allows use of user thresholds to optimize environmental management of
the chassis
Thermal efficiencies
The Chassis Management Controller (CMC) monitors all the temperature
sensors and regulates fan speeds to maintain the airflow at the minimum
needed to cool the system. The open backplane and deep plenum allow air
to be directed across the blades to ensure cooling is directed where it is
needed most.
Tool-free installation
■
Requires no specialized tools for chassis installation
■
Provides mounting rails for easy installation and servicing
