The Cisco UCS B250 M2 Extended Memory Blade Server helps maximize performance and capacity for the most demanding virtualization and large dataset applications. It is a full-width, 2-socket blade server with increased throughput and more than double the industry-standard memory of traditional 2-socket x86 servers.

Building on the success of the UCS B250 M1 server, the UCS B250 M2 server extends the capabilities of the Cisco Unified Computing System, using Intel's latest Xeon 5600 Series multicore processors to deliver even better performance and efficiency.

Each Cisco UCS 5108 Blade Server Chassis can house up to 4 UCS B250 M1 Blade Servers (maximum 160 per Unified Computing System).

Features

• Up to two Intel Xeon 5600 Series processors, which adjust server performance according to application needs
• Up to 384 GB based on Samsung's 40 nanometer class (DDR3) memory technology, for demanding virtualization and large dataset applications or a more cost-effective memory footprint for less demanding workloads
• Two optional Small Form-Factor (SFF) Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) hard drives available in 73GB 15K RPM and 146GB 10K RPM versions with an LSI Logic 1064e controller and integrated RAID
• Two dual-port mezzanine cards for up to 40 Gbps of I/O per blade. Mezzanine card options include either a Cisco UCS VIC M81KR Virtual Interface Card, a converged network adapter (Emulex or QLogic compatible), or a single 10GB Ethernet Adapter.
