The Cisco UCS B200 M1 Blade Server, part number N20-B6620-1, is a high-performance, half-width blade server optimised for virtualisation and data-intensive applications. It supports installation in Cisco's Unified Computing System chassis. This particular model comes without a CPU, providing flexibility for users to select and install their own processors based on the specific requirements of their data centre's workload.
This blade server is equipped with two CPU sockets, capable of supporting up to two Intel Xeon 5500 or 5600 series processors for enhanced performance. The system memory supports 12 DIMM slots, capable of holding a maximum of 96GB of DDR3 memory across the slots. This allows users to accommodate memory-intensive applications, providing efficient virtualisation support and accelerated computing tasks.
Although it comes without an internal storage drive as standard, the Cisco UCS B200 M1 offers support for various local flash storage options such as solid-state drives (SSDs). This flexibility ensures that businesses can tailor storage to best meet their operational needs, whether high-capacity or high-speed solutions are required.
The blade's I/O capabilities have been designed with flexibility in mind, providing support for up to 20Gbps throughput per server over a unified fabric. This enables optimal networking performance when connected to the UCS 2104XP I/O modules. It also supports Cisco's virtual interface cards for further enhancement of virtualisation capabilities.
In terms of power, the server draws power from the shared chassis infrastructure, which is often configured with redundant power supplies, ensuring reliable uptime and reduction of potential system downtime caused by power issues.
