Benefits
● Simplify administration of your hybrid-cloud infrastructure with Cisco Intersight®, freeing your IT staff to focus on mission-critical and value-added projects
● Standardize on a single platform for both your rack and blade workloads
● Decrease Operating Expenses (OpEx) for power, cooling, management, and maintenance by consolidating older servers onto the newest generation of modular servers
● Improve application performance with 5th Gen PCIe
The Cisco UCS® X210c M8 Compute Node two-socket server brings Intel® Xeon® 6 processors to the Cisco®UCS X-Series Modular System powered by Cisco Intersight. It offers more performance, faster I/O, and more storage than the previous M6 and M7 generation servers.
Based on Intel Xeon 6 CPUs, it can help improve security, performance, and efficiency of applications while helping achieve sustainability goals with built-in accelerators such as Intel Trust Domain Extensions (TDX), Intel Data Streaming Accelerator (DSA), Intel QuickAssist Technology (QAT), Intel Advanced Matrix Extensions (AMX), and In-Memory Analytics Accelerator (IAA).
New to the UCS X210c M8 Compute Node is UCS X10c Pass Through Controller for E3.S drives, supporting up to nine PCIe Gen5 NVMe drives. With all the benefits of a modular system and the increased storage capacity, the X210c M8 is an ideal server for data-intensive applications including Hyperconverged Infra-structure (HCI), AI, databases, and backup and disaster recovery (e.g. Rubrik and Cohesity).
If you run workloads that require graphical acceleration such as Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) or Computer-Aided Design/Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAD/CAM), there is a front mezzanine that supports up to two NVMe drives and up to two GPUs. Supporting both graphical acceleration and more GPU-intensive applications like AI, you can use Cisco UCS X-Fabric Technology to add up to four additional GPUs.
