Cisco UCS C260 M2 Rack-Mount Server
Product Overview
Cisco
®
UCS C-Series Rack-Mount Servers extend unified computing and standalone 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 Cisco UCS C-
Series employs Cisco technology to help customers handle the most challenging workloads. The Cisco UCS C-
Series incorporates many Cisco innovations such as standards-based unified network fabric; Cisco VN-Link
virtualization support; Cisco Extended Memory Technology; and the capability to scale computing, I/O, disk, and
memory resources independently. In addition, the Cisco UCS C-Series servers support an incremental deployment
model and protect customer investments with a future migration path to unified computing.
The Cisco UCS C260 M2 Rack-
Mount Server 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, offering compact
performance for enterprise-critical applications within the Cisco UCS architecture and patented Cisco Extended
Memory Technology (Figure 1). It is well suited for IT departments that are looking for ways to increase computing
performance, memory capacity, and disk drive I/O operations per second (IOPS) while deriving optimal value from
the available space in their data centers, and it allows customers to avoid or reduce the need for costly per-socket
or per-core licensing fees. With the Cisco UCS C260 M2 rack-mount server, Cisco continues to extend data center
technology in every dimension, including CPU enhancements 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 of up to 64 dual inline memory module (DIMM) slots
in a two-rack-unit (2RU) form factor. In addition, the Cisco UCS C260 M2 is designed to increase performance and
capacity for demanding virtualization and large-data-set workloads, service provider environments, enterprise data
centers, and virtual desktop hosting. The system also helps improve throughput for large-data-set workloads,
including database management systems and modeling and simulation applications.
Building on the success of the Cisco UCS C250 M2 Extended-Memory Rack-Mount Server, the Cisco UCS C260
M2 server extends the capabilities of the Cisco Unified Computing System with the next generation of Intel
processor technology: the Intel
®
Xeon
®
processor E7-2800 product family. 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, the Cisco Unified Computing System
and Intel
®
Xeon
®
processor E7-2800 product family together offer further reductions in TCO, increased business
agility, and another big leap forward in data center virtualization.
