Unified Computing
The Cisco Unified Computing System™ is a next-generation 
data center platform that unites computing, networking, 
storage access, and virtualization into a cohesive system 
designed to reduce total cost of ownership (TCO) and 
increase business agility. The system integrates a low-
latency, lossless 10 Gigabit Ethernet unified network fabric 
with enterprise-class, x86-architecture servers. The system 
is an integrated, scalable, multichassis platform in which all 
resources participate in a unified management domain.
Radically Simplified Server Management
Traditional blade servers add to data center complexity, 
with each chassis and chassis-resident switch acting 
as an independent point of management. Scaling out IT 
infrastructure using these systems is costly in terms of the 
number of I/O interfaces that each chassis must support, 
the power and cooling they require, the administrative and 
management overhead of individual blade servers, and the 
business agility lost due to delayed deployment times.
The Cisco Unified Computing System represents a radical 
simplification of the traditional blade server deployment model, 
with simplified, stateless blades and a blade server chassis that 
is centrally provisioned, configured, and managed by Cisco
®
 
UCS Manager. The result is a unified system that significantly 
reduces the number of components while offering a just-in-
time provisioning model that allows systems to be deployed or 
redeployed in minutes rather than hours or days.
Performance, Reliability, and Scalability
The Cisco UCS B440 M2 High-Performance Blade Server 
(Figure 1) delivers outstanding processing performance, 
scalability, and mission-critical reliability in a high-density blade 
form factor. This powerful blade server further extends the 
capability of the Cisco Unified Computing System to help IT 
architects deliver enterprise-critical services with higher levels 
of efficiently, agility, and control than ever before possible.

processor E7-4800 product family, 32 dual in-line module 
(DIMM) slots, up to 512 GB of Samsung 40-nanometer (nm) 
DDR3 memory, two mezzanine adapter slots, and four Small 
Form Factor (SFF) hard drive bays (Figure 2).

The Cisco UCS B440 M2 blade server is designed to power the 
most demanding enterprise applications such as large-data-set 
and transaction-intensive databases, enterprise resource 
planning (ERP) applications, and decision-support systems 
(DSSs). Powered by the scalable performance and new 
reliability and security features of the Intel
®
 Xeon
®
 processor 
E7-4800 product family, the Cisco UCS B440 M2 helps widen 
the scope of workload virtualization and unifies performance-
intensive standalone applications within an integrated, simplified 
infrastructure. Advanced silicon-level reliability and security 
features automatically manage hardware errors and protect 
against malicious software attacks, maintaining data integrity 
and increasing the availability of mission-critical services. These 
Intel innovations in combination with the simplicity, agility, and 
TCO benefits of the Cisco Unified Computing System present 
customers with an exceptional opportunity to migrate 
applications from costly, proprietary RISC systems.
The Cisco UCS B440 M2 uses converged network adapters 
(CNAs) for consolidated access to the unified fabric. This 
design reduces the number of adapters, cables, and access-
layer switches needed for LAN and SAN connectivity. 
This Cisco innovation can significantly reduce capital and 
operating expenses, including administrative overhead, 
power, and cooling costs. Network adapter choices 
(Figure 3) include adapters optimized for virtualization, 
compatibility, and efficient, high-performance Ethernet.

Cisco’s innovative service profile technology embedded in 
Cisco UCS Manager provisions Cisco UCS B-Series Blade 
Servers and their I/O properties. Infrastructure policies needed 
to provision servers and deploy applications, such as policies 
for power and cooling, security, identity, hardware health, and 
Ethernet and storage networking, are encapsulated in the 
service profiles. Use of service profiles helps reduce the number
