Outstanding performance and efficiency in a slim form factor
The Cisco UCS® C225 M8 Rack Server is the best choice for the modernization of your infrastructure and application servers. This high-density, 1RU, single-socket rack server delivers industry-leading performance and efficiency for a diverse range of use cases, including virtualization, EDA, SDS, big data, and edge-centric workloads. The single socket base can reduce software licensing fees, lowering your cost of ownership. You can deploy the Cisco UCS C-Series rack servers as standalone servers or as part of the Cisco Unified Computing System with the Cisco Intersight Infrastructure Service cloud-based management platform.
The Cisco UCS C225 M8 Rack Server uses 5th and 4th Gen AMD EPYC™ CPUs, which provide up to 160 cores per socket. Single-socket servers are not constrained by Non-Uniform Memory Access (NUMA. This makes some low-latency solutions much more effective.
A single socket can resolve some complex issues in virtualized environments where there is a need to isolate an application on a single CPU. Combined with up to 128 PCIe Gen 5.0 lanes for fast I/O throughput and up to 6000 MT/s DDR5 memory, you can have significant performance and efficiency gains that will improve your application performance. AMD EPYC CPUs support AVX-512, which increases the size of the CPU’s register to crunch numbers faster and can improve performance for simulations, financial analytics, AI / deep learning, 3D modeling, image and audio processing, cryptography, and data-compression workloads.
Cisco and AMD technologies can help to reduce Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions and waste, improve energy efficiency, and enable more circular business models.
● Highest core density in a 1RU, single-socket design server, with up to 160 cores to accelerate your most demanding applications.
● Industry-leading I/O speeds for high-bandwidth applications with PCIe Gen 5.0.
● Reduce management complexity with Cisco Intersight.
● Design with sustainability and energy-efficient operations in mind.
The Cisco UCS C225 M8 Rack Server is designed to deliver exceptional performance, expandability, and efficiency for your modern workloads. It offers:
● One 5th or 4th Gen AMD EPYC CPU, with up to 160 cores per socket. Based on AMD Infinity Architecture, these processors deliver a full feature set across the entire CPU stack. You choose the core count and frequency; the memory capabilities, advanced security features, and I/O capacity are all included at no additional cost.
◦ For high-performance computing, AMD EPYC 9004 Series Processors with AMD 3D V-Cache technology deliver up to 768 MB L3 of cache per processor. AMD 3D V-Cache is built on AMD’s groundbreaking 3D Chiplet architecture, using 5-nm process technology.
● Up to 128 PCIe Gen 5.0 lanes of I/O connectivity for fast data access.
● Memory:
◦ 12 DIMM slots, up to 6000 MT/s DDR5.
◦ Up to 1.5TB of capacity.
● Up to 10 Small-Form-Factor (SFF) front-loading hot-pluggable drives – NVMe/SAS/SATA.
● Up to three PCIe Gen 5.0 slots.
● Support for Cisco UCS VIC 15000 Series and OCP 3.0 network cards.
● RAID controller and GPU options are available.
