The Cisco UCS B200 M1 Blade Server, part number UCS-B200M1-VCS1, is designed to offer a potent balance of performance and manageability for data centre environments. At the heart of this blade server is the Quad-Core Intel Xeon 5500 series E5540 processor, clocking in at 2.53 GHz. This processor leverages advanced parallel processing capabilities alongside energy-efficient technologies, making it ideal for virtualised workloads and intensive applications. With support for up to 192GB of DDR3 memory, users can achieve significant memory capacity, facilitating faster data access and reduced bottlenecks in mission-critical tasks.
The server is engineered for seamless integration within Cisco's Unified Computing System (UCS), where it serves as part of a broader infrastructure solution. One of the key features includes its ability to work in a tightly managed compute environment, supporting specialised tasks such as data analytics or enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems with ease. Its reliance on Intel Virtualisation Technology ensures that virtual machines hosted on this unit have direct and fast access to resources, maintaining high-efficiency rates even when under pressure from multiple applications.
The blade server provides multiple options for storage and network connectivity. While the specific configuration outlines "none" for direct storage, the unit supports external connections via UCS Fabric Interconnects. This promotes efficient transmission of data across the infrastructure at a high bandwidth. The modular design allows the server to be easily swapped in and out of a blade chassis without disruption, minimising downtime and facilitating scalable operations.
EOL Technology Services provides direct support for the Cisco UCS B200 M1, including replacement parts and expert professional services. If you need spare components or upgrade assistance, their team ensures that your blade server continues to operate optimally, even as newer systems evolve around it.
