Cisco UCS® C-Series Rack Servers extend unified computing innovations to a rack-mount 
form factor. They are the only servers that can be used either standalone or integrated as part 
of the Cisco Unified Computing System™ (Cisco UCS). When used as standalone servers, 
these systems can be managed through the Cisco® Integrated Management Controller (IMC), 
integrated management software that provides network-based access to every aspect of 
server management, from power state and firmware revisions to remote keyboard, video, and 
mouse (KVM) devices.
The flexibility to manage rack servers as standalone servers or as part of Cisco UCS makes 
Cisco UCS C-Series Rack Servers the preferred choice for many organizations. These 
organizations may also prefer Cisco UCS C-Series Rack Servers for their high I/O bandwidth, 
the large memory configurations they can support, and high capacity internal disk space. 
Flexible, Standards-Based Standalone Server Management
As standalone systems, Cisco UCS C-Series servers provide a flexible, standards-based 
set of management interfaces that enable organizations to take advantage of Cisco servers’ 
innovative features in heterogeneous data centers. Cisco IMC provides administrators with the 
tools they need to control servers and manage servers, including remote KVM devices, power 
state, and firmware revisions. The Cisco IMC supports industry-standard protocols, including 
Intelligent Platform Monitoring Interface Version 2 (IPMI v2), Simple Network Management 
Protocol versions 2 and 3 (SNMP v2 and v3), an open Extensible Markup Language (XML) API 
and a command-line interface (CLI).
