Cisco Unified Computing System (Cisco UCS) is a set of pre-integrated data center components that includes blade servers, rack servers, storage servers, adapters, fabric interconnects, and fabric extenders (FEX) that are integrated under a common embedded management system. This approach results in far fewer system components and much better manageability, operational efficiencies, and flexibility than comparable data center platforms.

Frequently asked questions
Cisco UCS is the first data center platform that combines industry-standard, x86-architecture blade, rack, and storage servers with networking and storage access into a single converged system. The system is a set of pre-integrated data center components that creates a virtual server comprised of blade, rack, and storage servers, network adapters, fabric extenders, and fabric interconnects, all of which are integrated under a common embedded management system. The system is self-aware and self-integrating. It automatically discovers and inventories components. It enables cross-IT collaboration inside a single intuitive graphical interface using role-based access for multiple IT administrators (server, network, and storage).
Cisco UCS C-Series Rack Servers can integrate into Cisco UCS through Cisco UCS fabric interconnects or be used as standalone servers with Cisco or third-party switches. With world-record-setting performance for 2- and 4-socket servers, Cisco rack and storage servers can integrate into Cisco UCS through a single set of cables. These servers provide a wide range of I/O, memory, internal disk, Solid-State Disk (SSD) drive and NVMe storage device capacity, enabling you to easily match servers to workloads.
You can deploy the Cisco UCS C-Series Rack Servers as standalone servers or with Cisco Intersight to simplify administration and management of your server infrastructure freeing your IT staff to focus on mission-critical and value-added projects.
Cisco UCS C-Series rack servers empower you to tackle any workload challenge with a flexible combination of processor, memory, I/O, and internal storage resources. We offer a choice of AMD EPYC and Intel Xeon Scalable processors in our 1RU and 2RU rack servers.
