Extended Memory for Demanding Workloads
The Cisco
®
UCS C260 M2 Rack-Mount Server is a
high-performance, memory-intensive, two-socket,
two-rack-unit (2RU) rack-mount server designed to
increase performance and capacity for demanding
virtualization and large-data-set workloads (Figure 1). The
Cisco UCS C260 M2 uses Cisco Extended Memory
Technology to increase the overall memory footprint as
well as reduce the cost of smaller memory footprints
through the use of lower-cost, lower-density memory.
The system is built for standalone applications, virtualized
workloads in enterprise data centers, service provider
environments, and virtual desktop hosting. This server also
helps increase performance for large-data-set workloads,
including Java-based workloads, database management
systems, and modeling and simulation applications.

Unique Benefits in a Familiar Package
The Cisco UCS C260 M2 is one of the industry’s
highest-density two-socket rack-server platforms and
is a critical new building block in the Cisco Unified
Computing System™ portfolio that offers compact
performance for enterprise-critical applications within
the Cisco UCS architecture. It is well-suited for IT
departments that are looking for ways to increase
computing performance and memory or disk capacity
while deriving optimal value from the available space
in their data centers. It allows customers to avoid or
reduce the need for costly per-socket licensing fees
by increasing memory to high levels without requiring

M2 rack-mount server continues to extend data
center technology in every dimension, including CPU
improvements for better performance; expandability;
security; and reliability, availability, and serviceability
(RAS) features. The server also offers increased I/O
performance, on-board storage capacity, and an
exceptional memory footprint.

•
Cisco Extended Memory Technology: This
technology offers twice as much memory
(up to 1 TB) as traditional two-socket servers, and a
more economical 256 GB memory footprint.
This technology may eliminate the need to upgrade
to more expensive four-socket servers just to
establish a large memory footprint. Cisco Extended
Memory Technology, along with the use of Samsung
40-nm double-data-rate 3 (DDR3) memory, helps
lower both capital expenditures (CapEx) and
operating expenses (OpEx).

•
Flexible I/O and storage options: With six PCI
Express (PCIe) expansion slots, the server offers I/O
flexibility and bandwidth, including the capability
to integrate with traditional Gigabit Ethernet LANs
and Fibre Channel SANs. The server hosts up to
16 internal Small Form-Factor (SFF) SAS or SATA II
drives or solid-state drives (SSD), providing internal
storage capacity approaching 10 TB.

10 Gigabit unified network fabric: When equipped
with converged network adapters (CNAs) or the
Cisco UCS P81E Virtual Interface Card, the server
integrates with a low-latency, lossless 10-Gbps
