Extended Memory for Demanding Workloads

The Cisco

®

 UCS C250 M1 Extended-Memory 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). It also can reduce the cost of smaller memory 

footprints through the use of lower-cost, lower-density 

memory. The system is built for virtualized workloads in 

enterprise data centers, service provider environments, 

and virtual desktop hosting. The system also helps 

increase performance for large-data-set workloads, 

including database management systems and modeling 

and simulation applications.

Unique Benefits in a Familiar Package

The Cisco UCS C250 M1 server extends Cisco's product 

portfolio to meet the needs of customers that choose to 

deploy rack-mount servers. The server enables organiza-

tions to deploy systems incrementally—using as many 

or as few servers as needed—on a schedule that best 

meets the organization's timing and budget. 

Designed to operate both in standalone environments 

and as part of the Cisco Unified Computing System™* 

(Figure 2), the server combines flexible disk storage 

and I/O configurations with Cisco innovations including 

patented Cisco Extended Memory technology, a unified 

network fabric, and network-aware Cisco VN-Link tech-

nology.

The server brings differentiation and value to what has 

been a commodity market with products not optimized 

to meet the needs of virtualized data centers. Available 

from Cisco and its data center network infrastructure 

(DCNI) partners, the server advances the rack-mount 

server market with the following features:

•

Cisco Extended Memory Technology: 

This tech-

nology offers twice as much memory (384 GB) as 

traditional two-socket servers, or a more economi-

cal (192 GB) memory footprint using 4-GB rather 

than 8-GB DIMMs. Designed to strike a balance 

between processing power and memory capacity 

appropriate for virtualized and large-data-set 

workloads, the technology eliminates the need to 

upgrade to more expensive four-socket servers just 

to establish a large memory footprint. This technol-

ogy helps lower both capital and operating costs.

•

Flexible I/O and storage options: 

With five PCI 

Express (PCIe) expansion slots, the server offers 

I/O flexibility and bandwidth, including the ability 

to integrate with traditional Gigabit Ethernet LANs 

and Fibre Channel SANs. The server hosts up to 

eight internal Small Form-Factor (SFF) SAS or SATA 

drives, providing internal storage capacity exceed-

ing what is available in a corresponding blade form-

factor server.

•

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 

Ethernet and industry-standard Fibre Channel over 

Ethernet (FCoE) fabric. This technology enables a 

“wire-once” deployment model in which changing 

I/O configurations no longer means installing 

adapters and recabling racks and switches.

•

Virtualization optimization*: 

Cisco VN-Link technol-

ogy, I/O virtualization, and Intel

®

 Xeon

®

 5500 series 

processor features extend the network directly 

to virtual machines. This optimization enables a 

consistent and scalable operational model, helping 

increase security and efficiency while reducing 

complexity. 

•

Unified management*: 

When integrated as a part 

of the Cisco Unified Computing System, manage-

ment is uniquely integrated into all components 

of the system, enabling the entire solution to be 

managed as a single entity through Cisco UCS 

Manager, improving operational efficiency and flex-

ibility. 

•

Service profiles: 

When integrated as part of the 

Cisco Unified Computing System, Cisco UCS 

Manager implements role- and policy-based 

management using service profiles and templates. 

Service profiles help automate provisioning and
