Superior performance in a slim form factor
The Cisco UCS® C220 M5 Rack Server is the most versatile general-purpose infrastructure and application server in the industry. This high-density, 1RU, 2-socket rack server delivers industry-leading performance and efficiency for a wide range of workloads, including virtualization, collaboration, and bare-metal applications. You can deploy the Cisco UCS C-Series Rack Servers as standalone servers or as part of the Cisco Unified Computing System™ to take advantage of Cisco® standards-based unified computing innovations that can help reduce your Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and increase your business agility.
It incorporates the 2nd Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors or Intel Xeon Scalable processors with more than 20-percent more cores per socket, 20-percent more storage, and five times more NVMe PCIe Solid State Drives (SSDs) supported versus the previous generation of servers. These improvements deliver significant performance and efficiency gains that will improve your application performance. The Cisco UCS C220 M5 Rack Server delivers outstanding levels of expandability and performance.
● Do more with less by taking advantage of faster CPU cores in the 2nd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors and larger-capacity, faster memory performance.
● Increased hard-drive capacity gives you more flexibility in this slim 1-Rack-Unit (1RU) form factor.
● Protect your investment with the latest server technologies: NVMe and M.2.
● Cisco UCS C220 M5 Rack Servers are supported by the full suite of Cisco Unified Computing System (Cisco UCS) management tools and are engineered for Cisco Intersight™. Cisco Intersight is a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) management platform that uses analytics to deliver proactive automation and support. By combining intelligence with automated actions, you can reduce costs dramatically and accelerate time to resolution.
