Cisco has expanded the architectural advantages of its Intel Xeon Processor 6500 and 7500 Series-based server platforms with an exceptionally high density blade server. The 2-socket Cisco UCS B230 M1 Blade Server platform delivers high performance and density in a compact, half-width form factor.

Obtain Adaptability and Advanced Reliability

This blade server offers one or two Intel Xeon 6500 or 7500 Series processors with intelligent performance that:

• Automatically adapts to the diverse needs of a virtualized environment
• Provides advanced reliability for mission-critical workloads

In addition, it provides one dual-port mezzanine card for up to 20 Gbps I/O per blade. Options include a Cisco UCS M81KR Virtual Interface Card or converged network adapter (Emulex or QLogic compatible).

Other features include:

• 32 dual in-line memory module (DIMM) slots and up to 256 GB at 1066 MHz based on Samsung 40-nanometer class (DDR3) technology
• Two optional front-accessible, hot-swappable solid-state drives (SSDs) and an LSI SAS2108 RAID Controller
• Greatly simplified deployment and systems management with embedded integration into Cisco UCS Manager

Each Cisco UCS 5108 Blade Server Chassis can house up to eight B230 M1 servers (a maximum of 320 per Cisco Unified Computing System).
